A very large portion of the people in our own land are utterly ignorant of the way of salvation. This statement applies to the country as well as cities.

“In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good” (Ecc. 11:6).
