"Shipmate," I answer, solemnly, "He did do all that for you, and such as you,--and He says all that to you. Take hold of but the hem of His garment, so to speak, by faith, and you are saved. As to satisfaction to Divine justice, it is done. You have nothing to do with that, you have but to feel that you are sinful and guilty. You have to repent, which, may God the Holy Spirit help you to do. You have to look to Jesus as the only cure, as the only Saviour,--to His blood as the only means by which you can be cleansed; and the holy word of God says it, `Thy faith hath saved thee,'--`By faith ye are saved,'--`His blood cleanseth from all sin.' He doesn't say from little sins, or slight sins, but from all sin. He doesn't say He will receive you by-and-by, perhaps, when you have done something to please Him; but He does invite you, He does receive you. No power of earth or hell can prevent Him from presenting you faultless before the throne of grace. Shipmate, if you only feel your guiltiness, it is you He invites, with all your sins upon you, to come to Him,--it is you He will present faultless and fearless before God's judgment throne, welcomed as a son of God,--not crying out, as numbers will be doing, for the mountains to cover them, for the rocks to fall on them." "This is news indeed,--glorious news!" says the poor fellow, in a cheerful, happy tone, very different from what he had before spoken in. "I wish that I had known it before. But I know it now, and that's enough. Jesus died for me, and I trust in Jesus." I have soon to leave him to attend to my duty on deck. Captain Fuller would not hold it as an excuse that I was attending to a dying man. After some time, my watch on deck being almost out, Tony Hinks comes to me and tells me that Collis is dead; but says he, "It was strange to hear him saying over and over, again and again, `Jesus died for me, and I trust in Jesus.' What does that mean, Mr Harvey?" I tell him. He goes forward, muttering, "Strange! I never heard the like." I see Collis once more before he is sewn up in his hammock. There is a smile on his features, such as I had never before seen there.
