“The Opportunity is Today!
Our work is solemn,
Therefore we dare not trifle;
Our task is difficult,
Therefore we dare not relax;
Our opportunities are brief,
Therefore we dare not delay;
Our path is narrow,
Therefore we dare not wander;
But our PRIZE will be glorious,
Therefore we dare not faint.”

We have come to a turning point in
the road. If we turn to the right
mayhap our children and our
children's children will go that way;
but if we turn to the left, generations
yet unborn will curse our names for
having been unfaithful to God and to
His Word.
