It is with great pleasure we look over the many answers as they come in, and can readily see there has been diligent searching of the Word of God for them. We realize also the labor it is for the dear little ones in finding and writing them on paper, and they are so carefully and neatly written. The Lord takes notice of all this.
We do enjoy reading the little letters added at the end, telling us they know they belong to the Lord by having accepted Him as their Saviour, and we would like to write to each one, and tell them how happy we are that they are trusting Him, but we really have not the time.
Also we are glad to see so many stepping into the “Young People’s Bible Class”, which shows their interest in the work, and willingness to search a little deeper into the precious truths of the Word.
We are thankful to see the deep interest taken in the “Young People’s Class,” and for many of them to tell us of how much blessing the work has been to them. This is to their eternal gain, and the Lord is thus glorified.
It is cheering to read the many good answers that have come to the question, “How is one to be saved?” in July 3rd paper, and the correct verses quoted. It shows to us that any one of our friends can tell a poor lost sinner the way to be saved, through the Word.
Now, we cannot help but wonder if each one has the full assurance of his or her own salvation by resting on the unfailing Word of God, which tells us of the finished work of Christ on the cross for all, made good to those who come, to Him by faith.
If any of our friends are not saved, we beg of you, do not put off accepting Christ as Saviour for another moment. The Lord may come at any time. His coming for His own redeemed ones cannot be far off, and what a terrible thing it would be to be left behind for certain judgment!
The Lord Jesus Christ loves you, and is holding out His arms to receive you. He, still says, “Come unto Me.”
O! come to Jesus, children, come,
Don’t delay, don’t delay,
Secure a place in heaven’s bright home,
While ‘tis day, while ‘tis day;
That blessed home is filling fast,
And mercy’s day will soon be past,
Soon earth shall bear the trumpet’s blast;
Come away, come away.
O! sad, if thou shouldst be too late—
Don’t delay, don’t delay,
Arise, and enter mercy’s gate,
While ‘tis day, while ‘tis day;
A loving Saviour will appear
To meet thee, and to bless thee, there;
Draw nigh, and His salvation share;
Come away, come away.
His blood can wash the vilest clean,
Don’t delay, don’t delay,
O! come, confessing what thou’st been,
While ‘tis day, while ‘tis day;
A full salvation, vast and free,
Wrought out, by Christ, awaiteth thee;
Come then at once, and happy be;
Come away, come away.
