We Must Work the Works of God While It Is Day, for the Night Cometh When No Man Can Work

Now we come to the eleventh and last great lesson that this year 1917 teaches to which we have time to listen this morning, we must work the works of Him that sent Jesus Christ while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. It is certain that we are fast hurrying toward the end, fast hurrying toward that dark night that shall precede the sunrise. Fast hurrying toward the night when no man can work. Fast hurrying toward the closing of the days of opportunity at home and abroad. If you have money to give, give it now. One hundred dollars now will mean more than thousands or even millions a little while from now. Are stocks down now? They will be up, up in the air, a little while from now. Have you prayers to pray? Pray them now. They won’t count a little while from now. Have you souls to save? Save them now. Get to work at it at once, for the night is fast hurrying on when no man can work. Have you sins to confess? Confess them and put them away before the sun goes down tonight. Have you misunderstandings with your fellowmen to be straightened out? Up and at it, the night cometh when they will all be asleep and you cannot reach them. Listen once more to Jesus as He says again in the words of our text, “We must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.”
