of his being launched into the “eternal deeps” of misery and despair!  My eyes often turn with sorrow to the hopeless condition of those who live without God in the world.  How men and women of common sense can be satisfied to live year in and year out, on the verge of ruin, is a mystery to me.  A glow of enthusiasm often enters my soul, in which I feel as if it would be an ineffable joy to me could I send my voice all over the land in tones of thunder repeating: 

  “Stop, poor sinners, stop and think,
    Before ye further go! 
  How can ye sport upon the brink
    Of everlasting woe? 
  On the verge of ruin, stop! 
    Now, the friendly warning take: 
  Stay your footsteps ere ye drop
    Into the burning lake.”

And to those whose attention might be arrested by such a call, as they would turn their ears to hear, would I love to say, pointing heavenward:  “Behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world.”  “Look unto me, all ye ends of the earth, and be ye saved.”  “For whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”  “Even so must the Son of man be lifted up, that whosoever believeth on him may have everlasting life.”
