About this ebook
What a common question! Let me put it to you. You most certainly are travelling from time into eternity, and who knows how very, very near you may be this moment to the great terminus?
“Which class are you travelling?” There are only three. Let me describe them so you may put yourself to the test in the presence of “Him with whom we have to do.”
1st Class: Those who are saved and who know it.
2nd Class: Those who are unsure of salvation, but are eager to be sure.
3rd Class: Those who are unsaved and totally indifferent about it.
Again I repeat my question: “Which class are you travelling?” Oh, the madness of indifference, when eternal issues are at stake!

Safety, Certainty and Enjoyment - George Cutting
In Which Class Are You Travelling?
What a common question! Let me put it to you. You most certainly are travelling from time into eternity, and who knows how very, very near you may be this moment to the great terminus?
Which class are you travelling?
There are only three. Let me describe them so you may put yourself to the test in the presence of Him with whom we have to do.
1st Class: Those who are saved and who know it.
2nd Class: Those who are unsure of salvation, but are eager to be sure.
3rd Class: Those who are unsaved and totally indifferent about it.
Again I repeat my question: Which class are you travelling?
Oh, the madness of indifference, when eternal issues are at stake! A short time ago, a man came rushing into the train station, and, barely able to gasp for breath, he took his seat in one of the cars just about to start.
You’ve run it close,
said a fellow-passenger.
Yes,
he replied, breathing heavily after every two or three words, but I’ve saved four hours, and that’s well worth running for.
Saved four hours!
I couldn’t help repeating to myself, Four hours well worth that struggle! What of eternity? What of eternity?
Yet are there not thousands of shrewd, far-seeing men today who take good care of their own interests in this life, but who are blind to the eternity before them? In spite of the infinite love of God to helpless rebels, in spite of His pronounced hatred of sin, in spite of the brevity of man’s life here, in spite of the terrors of judgment after death and of the solemn probability of waking up with the unbearable remorse of being on hell’s side of a fixed
gulf, man hurries on to the bitter end, as careless as if there were no God, no death, no judgment, no heaven, no hell. If you are like that, may God this very moment have mercy upon you and open your eyes to your most perilous position, standing as you may be on a slippery brink of an endless horror.
Believe it or not, your case is desperate. Put off the thought of eternity no longer. Remember that procrastination is not only a thief,
but a murderer.
There is truth in the Spanish proverb which says, The road of ‘By-and-By’ leads to the town of ‘Never.’
I beg you, get off that road. Now is the day of salvation.
Uncertainty
But, says one, I am not indifferent as to the welfare of my soul. My deep trouble lies wrapped up in another word — uncertainty. I am among the second-class passengers you speak of.
Well, both indifference and uncertainty are the children of one parent — unbelief. The first results from unbelief as to the sin and ruin of man, the other
