If
I thought there was no such place as hell I would not write as I do. If I
thought that as a matter of course all people would go to heaven at last, I
would be quiet and leave them alone. But I dare not do so. I see danger ahead,
and I would sincerely warn every man to flee from the wrath to come. I see peril
of shipwreck, and I would light a beacon and entreat every man to seek the
harbor of safety. Do not despise my warning. Examine your own heart—find out
whether you are in a way to be lost or saved. Search and see how matters stand
between yourself and God—do not commit the enormous folly of losing your own
soul. We live in an age of great temptation. The devil is going about and is
very busy. The night is far spent. The time is short. Do not lose your own
soul!
