On one occasion we were journeying from London to
Liverpool, and the question was put as to where we would stop. We said
we would go to the "Northwestern," at Lime street, as that was the Hotel
where Americans generally stopped at. When we got there the house was
full and they could not let us in. Every room was engaged. But this
friend said, "I am going to stay here. I engaged a room ahead. I sent a
telegram on." My friends, that is just what the Christians are
doing--sending their names in ahead. They are sending a message up
saying: "Lord Jesus, I want one of those mansions You are preparing; I
want to be there." That's what they are doing.
Every man and woman who wants one, if you have not already got one, had
better make up your mind. Send your names up now. I would rather a
thousand times have my name written in the Lamb's Book than have all the
wealth of the world rolling at my feet.
"He Will Not Rest."
Suppose a man is going to Cincinnati, and he gets on the cars, but he
feels uneasy lest, the train will take him to St. Louis instead of his
destination. He will not rest till he knows he is on the right road, and
the idea that we are on the road to eternity as fast as time can take
us, and do not know our destination, is contrary to Scripture.
