In the courts of law, if a man be "called" as a witness, no sooner is his name sounded, though he may be at the back end of the crowded court-room, than he begins to force his way up to the witness stand.
Nobody says: "Why is this man pushing in here?" Or, if they should say, "Who are you?" it would be sufficient to answer, "My name was called.”
"But you are not rich; you wear no gold nor jewels." "No! But that is not my right of entrance; I was called.”
"Sir! You are not a man of renown or rank." "That matters not! I was called. Make way.”
So make way, ye doubts and fears! Christ calls the sinner: "Sinner, come!”
