What a wonderful scene this is of God’s creation! How one is struck with awe as he watches the waters tumbling over the great precipice, and hears the solemn roar!
Just recently tons of rock became loosened and fell with a terrible crash into the river below, thus changing the outline of the falls. One can only say, “O, Lord, how great are Thy works!”
The story is told of a stranger, who, many years ago visited Niagara Falls, and becoming so fascinated with the surroundings, took up his abode on one of the islands above the Falls. Not content with continually gazing on the roaring waters, he was in the habit of bathing in them; until one day venturing thus into the treacherous stream, the waters he had long recklessly dared, claimed him as their own, and he was swept away to his doom by the invisible current.
Dear reader, how much this is like the case of so many poor sinners. They become fascinated with the pleasures of sin, engross themselves in them, are swept away into everlasting perdition.
There is only One, dear children, who can save us from this terrible place, and I am sure you have heard of Him, the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Saviour of all who will come to Him and put their trust in Him. He is willing and able, and “mighty to save.”
Do come to Him now. Put your full trust in Him. Do not wait until it is too late.
