If you let these days pass by you may never choose, and if you do not choose the Church, your country will lose what it sorely needs. Therefore, be quick now to make your choice.
Slowness here is fatal.
For you it is literally true,
"Now is the accepted time, and now is the day of salvation."
And if a girl or boy is speeding up religiously, do not let any parent or any older person put anything in their way. Help them make the choice and in the days of youth remember their Creator.
Do not say, "Go slow." Say, "Certainly, 'Go Sure.'"
But let them come with all the sweet swiftness of these lovely, impressionable days, and help them speedily lay their lives at Jesus' feet.
