"I remember hearing some years ago of an old Christian, about seventy years of age, who had gone along in a fairly smooth path, and at his age, upon retiring from business, contemplated taking things still easier, when he was aroused by the fact that the force of the passage in Matt. 24, and especially in verse 46, was not simply an intimation of the Lord's approval of the general course characteristic of His servant, but approval of what He found him "doing" at the moment He came. It was alleged that the old Christian was so profoundly affected by the application of the scripture that he put in more real effective service to Christ after he was seventy than he had previously done in his entire lifetime."
