A Vain Search.

 
COULD Satan now his wily task begin
To scan earth’s history for the blackest sin,
Explore its wide domain, search high and low,
Both in the present and the long ago, —
That sin would ne’er be found too bad to be
Cleansed by the blood of Christ eternally.
Could he yet further scan the lengthy roll
Of past and present for the blackest soul,
Recount its history and sinful ways,
Tell of its wanderings in evil days, —
That soul would ne’er be found too bad to be
God’s “WHOSOEVER” for eternity.
Dear friend, how does the end of this year find you? Are you still in your sins, or in Christ? Are you the slave of sin, or the servant of the Lord Jesus Christ?
