I. AN ABSORBING CRISIS.

1. Its nature.

2. Its cause. Result of sin.

3. Its consequences. Everlasting.

II. AN AWAKENING CONSIDERATION. "Behold." That word suggests to us suitable preparation. In prospect, then, of that amazing hour we ought —

1. To review our past lives.

2. To realise our dying hour.

3. To think of our future prospects.

(C. Clayton, M. A.)
