Procrastination – Charles Spurgeon

Be not like the foolish drunkard who, staggering home one night, saw his candle lit for him. ” Two candles!” said he, for his drunkenness made him see double, ” I will blow out one,” and as he blew it out, in a moment he was in the dark. Many a man sees double through the drunkenness of sin; he has one life to sow his wild oats in, and then he half expects another in which to turn to God; so, like a fool, he blows out the only candle that he has, and in the dark, he will have to lie down for ever. Haste thee, Traveller, thou hast but one sun, and after that sets, thou wilt never reach thy home. God help thee to make haste now!
