Friends, the Lord claims you for his own—­all of you.  “Ye are his people, ye his care; your souls and all your mortal frame.”  Ye are his by creation and providence.  Say, will ye be his by salvation and redemption?  He comes to you.  Will the next century write the same sad history of your case that stands recorded of the Jews:  “He came unto his own, and his own received him not”?  Will this be the story?  I hope and pray that it may not be.  But it remains for you to decide this question.  It remains for you to reject or to accept.  If you receive him not, what then will your portion be!  Think of it.  But if you receive him, he will put you on the side of eternal salvation and give you power to become the sons of God, being born of God.  God himself can do no greater thing for any one than to make him his son.  What he offers you here this night exceeds all the wealth and pleasures of this world, as far as the light of the sun exceeds the light of that lamp; nay, more, for the sun itself shall be darkened, but the soul born of God, washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb, shall be eternally safe in the possession and enjoyment of an inheritance which is incorruptible and undefiled, and that fadeth not away.  Repent, therefore, and believe the Gospel, that your sins may be blotted out in this season of refreshing from the presence of the Lord.

The writer will here relate a conversation he had with Sister Catharine Frank, who was a daughter of Philip Ritchey, who lived very high up among the mountains of Brock’s Gap.  Brother Ritchey’s was a favorite stopping place with Brother Kline and other ministering brethren traveling that way.  Sister Catharine Frank was buried on Wednesday, February 4, 1891.  While on her deathbed the above-mentioned conversation took place.  In this conversation she expressed herself ready and eager to depart.  At the mention of Brother Kline’s name her countenance and voice gave evidence of deep interest.  “Ah,” said she, “I never will forget that man.  He was as dear to me as my own father.  He first
