All that about which the children of this world are so intensely anxious—after which they are so eagerly grasping—for which they are so fiercely contending,—all—all will be burned up. And who can tell how soon? His judgments now hang over this guilty world. The day is at hand; and while judgments impend, the sweet story of grace is being told out to many an ear.
Happy they who hear and believe that story! Happy they who flee to the strong mountain of God's salvation! Who take refuge behind the cross of the Son of God, and therein find pardon and peace!
