A Little Pleasure For A Lot Of Agony

And all for what? For a little pleasure, a little drink, a little dance, a little sin that yielded but slight pleasure, or for worldly gain, or for low and grovelling vices, or for sheer carelessness and gaiety! Lost! And for nothing! A sinner damned! He lost his soul, but he did not gain the world. He gained only a little frivolous pleasure; even that poor pittance he spent in an hour, and then he was for ever cast away! May it not be so with you.
