AMONGST the last lines written by the late Robert G. Ingersoll, America’s great agnostic, were the following:—
“Is there beyond the silent night
An endless day?
Is death a door that leads to light?
We cannot say.
The tongueless secret locked in fate we do not know,
We hope and wait.”
Amongst some papers found in the desk of a man who once professed infidelity, but just before he died got deeply interested in the eternal wellbeing of his precious soul, were found these words:
“I’ve tried in vain a thousand ways
My fears to quell, my hopes to raise;
But all I need, the Bible says,
Is Jesus.
“My soul is night, my heart is steel,
I cannot see, I cannot feel
For light, for heat, I must appeal
To Jesus.
“He died, He lives, He reigns, He pleads;
There’s love in all His acts and deeds;
All, all a guilty sinner needs
Is Jesus,
“Though some will mock and some will blame,
In spite of fear, in spite of shame,
I’ll go to Him, because His name
Is Jesus.”
“I am the Light of the world: he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life” (John 8:1212Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. (John 8:12)).
Reader, how is it with you? In darkness or in the light? Which? R. G.
