Rt. Hon. W. E. Gladstone, three times Prime Minister of Britain, declared: "If I were asked what is the remedy for the deeper sorrows of the human heart, what a man could look to in his progress through life as the power to sustain him under trials and enable him man-fully to confront his afflictions, I must point to something which in a well-known hymn is called The Old Old Story,' told in an old, old Book, and taught in an old, old teaching. My remedy for earth's ills is the greatest and best gift ever given to mankind—Jesus Christ.... Talk about questions of the day! There is but one question, and that is the gospel. Believed and acted upon it can and will correct everything that needs correction. The only hope for the world is in bringing the human mind into contact with Divine revelation.”
Dr. Clark, the founder of the Christian Endeavor movement, has said that Mr. Gladstone, when, on his death-bed he bade farewell to Lord Rosebery, solemnly said to him: "Rosebery, take care of your soul." Surely this was most excellent advice from the dying statesman.
The Lord Jesus asked the momentous question: "What is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" Matt. 16:26.
Oh soul, why not now believe on Christ who died to save you?
"He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed." Isa. 53:5.
Believe and be saved.
