Back to Bethel - Separation From Sin, and Fellowship With God #221408

I want to carry you back to days long gone by, it may be thirty years ago, when you left your father's house in some country district as a young man or girl, and entered into some great city. DO you re member your first night there, and the tiny bedroom in which you knelt to say your evening prayer, and felt so lonesome and solitary? As you remained in the attitude of devotion it seemed as though the God Of your Old father and mother came very near you and spoke to your heart, and you promised from that night to be His faithful servant, so that until you died He would always find you ready to do His will. I want to know whether those vows have been kept? Has not that angel vision faded from your eyes? Has not that ladder died back into the dark? Have you not forgotten, or at least evaded, your solemn covenant? That young woman got a situation. She soon found herself beloved by one who could make a home for her She and he together have climbed the ladder of prosperity, and she is now at the head Of a beautiful home, and the angel ladder that linked her with God has faded away. She has drifted upon the current Of fashion and worldliness. She is further away from God tonight than She was that other night so long ago.
