owing TO the pleasures by which they surrounded
They generally postponed their conversion until II Is
too late Others neglect their salvation through love
of business They think they cannot attend to their
business and religious matters at this time This was

He asked the congregation break away from
Satans chains believe in Jesus Christ and to look TO
Him as the Saviour Men should rely them
selves alone, but Christ, who died for their redemp
