it ends, and you may even go bankrupt. But as for life itself, we must all face squarely the question as to how we our selves are going to end up. No man can tell when his earthly life will cease, when the death angel will call for his. soul. Ths wisdom of such action is that we might be prepared for the eventuality that befalls us. Here is a sinner who plans to enjoy his folly for a season. He is going to I'M FINE There's nothing whatever the matter with me, And when I talk, I talk with a wheeze; M y pulse is weak and my blood is thin. But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in. Arch supports I have for my feet Or I wouldn't be able to be on the street. And every morning I'm a sight. Sleep is denied me, night after night, M y memory is failing, my heart's in a spin, I'm practically living on aspirin; But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in. The moral is, as this tale I unfold, That for you and for me, who are growing old, It's better to say, "I'm fine" with a grin, Then to let 'em know the shape we're m ." do what he pleases or what he feels like doing. If he wants to drink, he will drink. If he wants to swear, he will swear. If he wants immorality, he can have all of that he wants. He never stops to wonder how he is going to end up. All of these sins accumulate and pile up until the day comes when the Lord says, “This night thy soul shall be required of thee.” There is no use of us fooling our selves.
