As this is the last time, there is one thing that I must warn you of: I shall not see you any more in this world: I shall see you again in the world to come; I shall see you at the last day, at the bar of God; remember this; there we shall meet again. Ah, my dear children, shall I see any of you at the left hand of the Judge? shall I see any of the children that have attended these lectures, or heard the instructions that you have heard, I say, shall I see any of you driven down to hell? shall I hear the Judge pronounce that awful sentence "depart from me ye cursed into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels? O painful thought! God forbid that any of you should still remain careless and wicked, and at that day be doomed to eternal misery. Let it not be; seek the Lord while he may be found; flee from the wrath to come; pray for a new heart, and the pardon of your sins: Remember that you must all stand before the judgment. seat of Christ; there you must give an account of the deeds done in the body. O, that I may see you at the right hand of the Judge; that I may meet you with joy in Heaven above. Remember, that eternal misery will be the portion of wicked children. T it And now, my dear children, farewell. May you fare well now, while you are young. God hath said, Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him; for they eat the fruit of their doings. Woe unto the wicked, it shall be ill with him, the reward of his hands shall be giyen him may you fare well when on your knees at a throne of grace: may you fare well when you read the holy scriptures: may you fare well when you are laid on a bed of afflic tion; when pain and anguish come upon you, then may God support you, may you find com fort in trusting to his promises and relying on his mercy may his arms support you while walking though the dark valley of the shadow of death; then may you fear no evil; may be well with you at your dying hour; O that you may leave the world with joy, and enter on that glorious felicity above in a triumphant manner may it be well with you at the day of judgment, when you stand before the great white throne; O that it may be well with you, and may you hear the Judge of all say, "Come ye blessed children of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;" then shall you receive a harp of gold and a crown of glory, which shall be the reward of all that serve God and love his Son Jesus; there you will be forever before the throne of God, and dwell in his presence, where there is fullness of joy, and at his right hand, where there are pleasures forevermore. It has been suggested to me, by a pious friend, to appoint a certain day in every year, for you to think of the instructions that you have heard, and to pray for the little children in India. In order that you may remember, I shall, on the FIRST DAY OF MAY, in every year, set apart some portion of that day to think of, and pray to God for the little children in America, and for you who have attended these monthly lectures in particular; then will I plead with God, that he may bless you, and cause his face to shine upon you, and that he will enable you to remember the instructions that you have heard; and I hope you will, on that day, pray for me, that I may be made useful to the dear children in that part of the world.
