judged every man according to his work.” Here on earth you are but a unit lost in a crowded world; but in _that_ assembly, in the sight of the omniscient God, your individuality shall stand out clearly and distinctly, with its weight of irremovable responsibility, its noble faculties, and its liability to eternal ruin or immortal joy: then, deeply interested in the proceedings of that solemn day, amid the fierce confusion, the flashing lightning, the rolling thunder, the falling stars, the awful sounds of angelic trumpets, the songs of the blessed, the shrieks of the lost, you shall receive that award from which there can be no appeal; and even now Time is rapidly hastening on to bring the final end of all things, and develop the dread catastrophe. Your earthly journey, however, may be closed long ere this event arrives, and death introduce you to that world where your state will be irrevocably fixed. Give, then, your heart to Jesus; do it now, and, faithful to His promise, He will receive you—His blood shall atone for your sin—His intercession secure your acceptance—His Spirit sanctify your nature, and, clothing you with the garments of salvation, more beauteous than were ever fashioned by artistic skill, He will “present you faultless before the presence of His Father with exceeding joy.” Then, in the heavenly city, which needs neither sun nor moon, but where the glory of God sheds its unclouded beams, and the Lamb is the light thereof—where nothing enters that defileth, or worketh abomination, or maketh a lie—there, in the world’s great assembly, in the “building not made with hands, eternal in the heavens,” with the great multitude which no man can number, who “have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb,” shall you join the triumphant shout, “Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty! just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints!” * * * * * * * * * * JOHN STABB, 27, RED LION SQUARE, LONDON, W.C. * * * * * J. & W.
