Message should be removed, but it isn't?

(Last question of the day!)

I have an error here that means that the message isn't removed. Anyone know why?

function message(text,time) --Message Function
    local msg = Instance.new("Message",workspace)
    msg.Text = text
    game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(Message, time)--Same thing
end

This code works with hints, but not messages. Anyone see why?

message("THE RACE HAS BEGUN!!!!!", 3)

This is how the function is referenced in later parts of the script.
