Ah! Miserable creatures, blind wretches, who sleep over the interests of your eternal salvation Jesus Christ watches for you, and with infinite benignity comes to awake you. Why are you oppressed with sleep Arise, and invoke the Lord thy God. What manner of life is yours It is so long a period since you ceased to live as a Christian. This is the hour to arise from sleep. Let us open our eyes, and listen to the voice of Christ. This is the acceptable time, now is the day of salvation. Let us profit well by the grace that God confers on us at this season.
