FROM TRACT BY REV. DR. rLuMER.

Repentance will come, live, as YOU MAY,
Either you will repent in time, and turn to-
God, and accept Christ, and save your soul,
or you will repent forever in despair. No
men repentso bitterly, SO long, SO hopelessly;
as those who on, earth make mock at sin.
and slight the offers of redeeming grace:
Their eternity Is spent in fruitlcss lamenta-
tlons over their own wickedness and fully.
There Is madness in sin which has never
been fully explained. No omortal has ever
solved the whole mystery of ofiniquity. Why
will you die?
This life is vapor that soon vanishes away,
but the next life has no end. All the lare-
est thonghts OF endless duration ever form
ed by man fall infinitely below the truth.
Suicide may be called in to aid poor, god
less, sinner out of this world, but it can not
help him out of eternity. Annihilation.
sometimes hoped for by the wicked on earth,
shall bring no cup of forgetfulness 10 lost
souls in hell. While scraphs sing, while
saints rejoice, the despiser Of the eospel
must lie in sorrow, and mourn with perpet-
nal mourning, and say. "lIow have ha.
ted instruction, and my heart despised re-
proof, and my teachers, nor inclined mine
ear to them that instructed me-"
And all this loss and ruin are as unneeessary
as they arc terrible. The calls of the GOSPEL
could not be more kind, or free, or urgent
then they are. Listen, TO few of tliefn.
"Come new, and letus reason together, saith
The Lord though your sins be as scarlet.
they shall be rs white us snow though tley
bc red like crimson, they shall be as white
as WOOL "iio, every one that tlifstetlI,
come ye to the waters, and he that hath no
money come We TO the waters, buy and eat /;
yea, come, buy wine and milk without money
and without price" Listen, too, to the sery
words of Christ, while he was on earth:
Come unto me, all ye that labor and are
heavy laden, and will give You rest. Take
my yoke upon you, and learn of me: for
am meek and lowly of heart anu We shall
lind rest unto your souls. For my yoke is
easy, and my burden is light"
"lllm that cometh to ne Iwill in no wise
cast out;' and, 'If any man thirst, let him
come unto me and drink" Even after Christ
had ascended TO heaven hs cent out the
ss'tsss blessed offers IS his cwrti marie; "Be.
hold, stand at the door and knock if any
man hear my voice, and open the door, /
will come into him, and will sup with him
and he with me-" Sand the Spirit and the
Bride say, Come; and let him that hear
eth say, Come /; and let him that is
athirst come. Any whatsoever will. let him
take the water Of life freely" aKiss the Son,
lest he beangry, and ye perish from the
way.n

Christ and flee TO hirna Let MT pride. or
unbcief or love ofihe world, or sinful shame,
or anything else keep you away from Christ.
