"Redeeming the time, because the days are evil."

Ephesians 5:16

Time is a jewel more worth than a world!

Time is not yours to dispose of as you please; it

is a glorious talent that men must be accountable

for, as well as any other talent. Of all talents, time

is the hardest well to improve. Ah, beloved, have

not you need to improve your time--who have

much work to do in a short time:

your souls to save,

a God to honor,

a Christ to exalt,

a hell to escape,

a race to run,

a crown to win,

temptations to withstand,

corruptions to conquer,

afflictions to bear,

mercies to improve, and

your generation to serve.
