til one day the doctor came in and
said that the symptoms were very unfavorable. He took the mother out
of the room, and told her that the child could not live. It came like
a thunderbolt. After the doctor had gone the mother went into the room
where the child lay and began to talk to the child and tried to divert
its mind.

"Darling, do you know you will soon hear the music of heaven? You will
hear a sweeter song than you have ever heard on earth. You will hear
them sing the song of Moses and the Lamb. You are very fond of music.
Won't it be sweet, darling?"

And the little tired, sick child turned its head away, and said, "Oh
mamma, I am so tired and so sick that I think it would make me worse
to hear all that music."

The little tired child again turned its head away, and said, "Oh
mamma, I am so tired that I think it would make me worse to see all

promised to do, He is able and willing to accomplish; and He is going
to do it. I cannot find any passage in Scripture in which He says "I
will" do this, or "I will" do that, but it will be done.

1. The "I Will" of Salvation.

The first "I will" to which I want to direct your attention, is to be
found in John's gospel, sixth chapter and thirty-seventh verse: "_Him
that cometh unto Me I will in no wise cast out._"

I imagine someone will say, "Well, if I was what I ought to be, I
would come; but when my mind goes over the past record of my life, it
is too dark. I am not fit to come."

You must bear in mind that Jesus Christ came to save not good people,
not the upright and just, but sinners like you and me, who have gone
astray, and sinned and come short of the
