"Not yet," said the youth. "I don't want anything to interfere with my pleasure. When I grow older I'll think about my soul."

"Not yet," said the young married man. "I am just beginning to do well in my trade. When I see my business prospering, then I shall have more time."

"Not yet," said the middle-aged business man. "I have worked so hard getting my business to where it is today. I want to take it easy a while and devote more time to recreation."

"Not yet," said the gray-haired man. "Somewhere along the line I have picked up some bad habits I will have to conquer first. Then, too, it would involve several changes, and when you get to my age changes are difficult and you don't want to make any."

And so he lived without God and died without hope. How sad. His big sin was procrastination. Is that yours too? "Today if ye shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts."
