Run Your Heads Into Sorrow

Want of thought is one simple reason why thousands of souls are cast away forever. Men will not consider--will not look forward--will not look around them--will not reflect on the end of their present course, and the sure consequences of their present ways--and awake at last to find they are damned for want of thinking.

Young men, none are in more danger of this than yourselves. You know little of the perils around you, and so you are heedless how you walk. You hate the trouble of sober, quiet thinking, and so you form wrong decisions and run your heads into sorrow.
