IT is related of an atheist who was dying, that he appeared very uncomfortable, very unhappy, and frightened. Another atheist who stood at his bedside said to him—
"Don't be afraid. Hold on, man; hold on to the last!
“The dying man said, That is what I want to do; but tell me what to hold on to!’
“Alas! the hypocrite's hope shall perish! Every man knows there is a God. Many know that God has spoken and does still speak to man through His word; and that word is the Bible. Herein is revealed a Saviour who died the just for the unjust. Here is made known God's sure foundation—the Rock of Ages—and whosoever believeth in Him shall never be put to shame. He is the only, but all-sufficient Saviour, saving to the uttermost all that come to God by Him.”
