June 3 Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming. - Matthew 25:13 Watch yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a trap.

So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober. - 1 Thessalonians 5:2-6 Adapted from “Daily Light”, published by Samuel Bagster in 1875. This is a public episode.
