Reading: "I beseech of you that ye do not procrastinate the day of your repentance.." Alma Ch. 16 (1830)

"For behold, this life is the  time for men to prepare to meet God; yea, behold the day of this life is  the day for men to perform their labors. And now, as I said unto you  before, as ye have had so many witnesses, therefore, I beseech of you  that ye do not procrastinate the day of your repentance until the end;  for after this day of life, which is given us to prepare for eternity,  behold, if we do not improve our time while in this life, then cometh  the night of darkness wherein there can be no labor performed. Ye cannot  say, when ye are brought to that awful crisis, that I will repent, that  I will return to my God. Nay, ye cannot say this; for that same spirit  which doth possess your bodies at the time that ye go out of this life,  that same spirit will have power to possess your body in that eternal  world." -- Alma Ch. 16 (34:32-34/Utah)
