A Prime Minister of England once said, "If I am asked what is the remedy for the deeper sorrows of the human heart, what a man should look to in going through life as the power that will sustain him under trials and enable him manfully to confront his afflictions, I must point him to what in a well-known hymn is called The old, old story,' told in an old, old Book, and taught with an old, old faith. It is the grandest and best gift ever given to mankind—Jesus and His love.”
For what can we tell to the weary of heart,
If we preach not salvation from sin?
And how can we comfort the souls that depart,
If we tell not that Christ rose again?
