" The doctor took down his Bible and
turned to the fifty-third chapter of Isaiah and read: "He was wounded
for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquities; the
chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His stripes we are
healed." And he read on through this chapter.
When he had finished, the young man said: "Do you believe this, that He
voluntarily left heaven, came down to this earth, and suffered and died
that we might be saved?" "Yes, I believe it. That brought me out of
infidelity, out of darkness into light." And he preached Christ and His
salvation and told him of heaven and then suggested that they get down
on their knees and pray. And when I went there in 1867 a letter had been
received from that young nobleman, who wrote to Dr. Whinston in London,
telling him that the question of "eternity, and where he should spend
it" was settled, and troubled him no more. My friends, the question of
eternity, and where we are going to spend it, forces itself upon
everyone of us. We are staying here for a little day. Our life is but a
fibre and it will soon be snapped. I may be preaching my last sermon.
To-night may find me in eternity. By the grace of God say that you will
spend it in heaven.
