The Lost

The Lord Jesus said that He
came “ to seek and save the lost.”
Whom He meant and what He
meant everybody knows who knows
anything
m
meant that all men, without an ex­
ception, were pinners and under
Divine condemnation, and without
Him were lost—morally and spirit-
ually, ruined, and going down to
perdition. He meant that all men
were like one off from the road to
his home, wandering in a trackless
from which he .knows
no way out. He did not except
the moralist of His day ; on the
contrary no men were more severe­
ly condemned by Him. Now, why
is not this great fact plainly declar­
ed by the Church now-a-days ?
Are ministers and people more re­
fined or more wise than Jesus our
Lord was ? Why are not men, the
best of them, toTiTplainly and kind——
ly that they are lost ?
The British Council of the Evan­
o gelical Alliance have taken meas-
ures to secure a meeting in London
of representatives of various socle- •
ties, with a view to some combined
action for commemorating the
400th anniversary of the birth of
Luther.
Forgetfulness is one of the broad
ways to sin. A ship can be lost by
carelessness as well as by design.
The evils of life come mainly
through inattention. If I mind not,
I find not. Souls are lost at no
cost. Every man has a week side;
but a wise man knows where it is,
and will keep double guard there.
— John. Reid.
“ A person should be careful nev­
er to tell tales of himself to his own
disadvantage. People may be
amused, and laugh at the time, but
they will be remembered, and*
brought up against him upon some
subsequent occasion.”
Love is the light by which we
see God, by which we understand
His Bible; by which we under­
stand our duty, and God’s dealings
in the world. Love is the light by
which , we understand our own
hearts, by which we understand
our neighbor’s hearts.— Ez.
