Do you not know, oh man, oh woman, that you
are the lost one spoken of in my textl 1.-The
Son OF Man is come to seek and TO save that
which was lost" You may hide away from Him,
but there are some things which will find you,
whether Christ by His grace finds you or not.
Trouble will find you. Temptation will find
you. Sickness will find you. Death will find
You. Judgment will fad you. Eternity will
find you.
Soon you will be gone from all these scenes,
and II a thousand men should come out with
lanterns, and torches; and St Bernard dogs used

her dairy: Zone month from now will attend
to the matters of my SOUL She retired again,
but found no sleep, and arose again and wrote:
Next week will attend to the matters of my
SOUL Then she slept soundly. The next day
she went into scenes of gayety. The following
day she was sick, and the middle of next week
she died. Delirium lifted from her mind just
long enough for her to say: 81 am week too
late. / am lost.' Oh. to be year too late, or a
month too late, or an hour too late-aye to be a
second too late, is to be forever too late.
