"
what are
those
terrors
which
will
attend
sinners,
impenitent
sinners,
at
the
end.
of
time.
1.
"
A dreadful
account
must be
given
of
all this
lost
and
wasted
time.
When the judge
shall
ascend
his
throne
in the
air,
and
all
the
sons
and daughters
of
Adam are
brought
before
him,
the grand enquiry
will
be,
what
have
you
done
with
all
the time
of
life
in
yonder
world
?
"
You spent
thirty or
forty.
years there,
or
perhaps se-
venty
or
eighty,
and
I
gave you this
time with
a thousand
opportunities and
means
of
grace and salvation:
what
have
you
done
with them
all
?
How many sabbaths
did
I
afford you
?
How many sermons have you
heard
?
How
many
seasons did
I
give
you for
prayer and retirement
and converse'
with
God
and your
own souls
?
Did
you
improve
time
well? Did
you
pray
?
Did
you
converse
with your souls and with God
?
Or
did
you suffer time
to
slide
away in
a thousand impertinences, and neglect
the
one thing necessary
?"
II.
"
A fruitless
and bitter mourning
for the waste
and abuse
of
time,"
will
be
another
consequence
of
your
folly.
Whatsoever
satisfaction you may
take
now,
in
passing
time
away
merrily and without thinking,
it
must
not
pass
away
so
for
ever.
If
the
approaches of death
do
not
.
awaken you,
yet
judgment
will
do
it.
Your
consci-
ences
will
be worried
with
terrible
reflexions on
your
foolish
conduct.
O could
we
but
hear the complaints
of
the
souls
in
hell, what multitudes
of
them would
be
found groaning
out
this dismal note,
"
how
hath
my
time been lost
in
vanity, and
my
soul
is
now
lost for ever in distress
:"
Ilow
might
I
have shone among the saints in heaven,
had
I
wisely
improved the time which
was
given
me on
earth,
given me ón
purpose
to
prepare
for
death and
heaven
?
Then
they
will
for ever
curse
themselves, and
call themselves
eternal
fools,
for hearkening to the temp-
tations
of
flesh
and
sense,
which wasted
their
time and
deprived them
of eternal
treasures.

Andther of
the
terrors,
which will seize
upon
im-
penitent
sinners
at
the end of
time,
will
be endless
des,.
pair of
the recovery
of
lost
time,
and
of
those
blessings;
whose hope
is
for ever lost
with
it.
There
are
blessings
pffere,d
to sinful,
miserable men in time,
which
will
never
