In this day of accentuated materialism it is refreshing to hear of some of the world's successful business leaders who have been loyal to the name and Person of the Lord Jesus Christ as the only One through whom salvation is to be had. One such is the honorable J. William Horsey, Chairman of the Board, Dominion Stores, Ltd., of Canada. In an interview recently published in a Toronto daily paper Mr. Horsey stated: "For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified." 1 Cor. 2:2.
In his discourse Mr. Horsey further said: "The central fact of the universe is the cross of Christ. Past ages looked forward to it. We look back to it.
" 'Center of two eternities
Which look with rapt, adoring eyes,
Onward and back to Thee—
O Cross of Christ,
Where all His pain
And death is our eternal gain.'
"Here alone is the fount of blessing. Here is full provision for all my sin and for my pardon, purchased by none other than 'the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me.'
"Here are found untold riches 'that fade not away,' available to all who recognize their need and humbly accept His grace. Tor ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich.'
"This is a time to turn our thoughts to that great work done on the cross of Calvary—a time of opportunity for you and for me to find this great good, God's riches untold.
"Of all the gifts Thy love bestows,
Thou Giver of all good!
Not heaven itself a richer knows
Than the Redeemer's blood."
