Did you ever hear a man say:
"I was an outcast, a wretched drunkard, a disgrace to my race, and a nuisance to the world, until I began to study mathematics― but since that time I have been happy as the day is long― I feel like singing all the time; my soul is full of triumph and peace"? Never!
Did you ever hear a man ascribe his salvation from sin and vice to the science of engineering or geology? Never!
But thousands will tell you: "I was lost, I was wretched; I broke my mother's heart; I was ruined, reckless, helpless, homeless, hopeless, until I heard God's words of light and love from the Bible."
The Bible tells us all may come
And drink at mercy's stream.
