, someone present said:

"Mr. Whitefield, did you not go a little too far to-day when you said
that the Lord would save the devil's castaways?"

Taking the note from his pocket he gave it to the lady, and said:
"Will you read that note aloud?"

She read: "Mr. Whitefield: Two poor lost women stood outside your
tabernacle to-day, and heard you say that the Lord would save the
devil's castaways. We seized upon that as our last hope, and we write
you this to tell you that we rejoice now in believing in Him, and from
this good hour we shall endeavor to serve Him, who has done so much
for us."

2. The "I Will" of Cleansing.

The next "I will" is found in Luke, fifth chapter. We read of a leper
who came to Christ, and said: "Lord, if Thou wilt, Thou canst make me
clean." The Lord touched him, saying, "_I will: be thou clean_"; and
immediately the leprosy left him.

Now if any man or woman full of the leprosy of sin read this, if you
will but go to the Master and tell all your case to Him, He will speak
to you as He did to that poor leper and say. "I will: be thou clean,"
and the leprosy of your sins will flee away from you. It is the Lord,
and the Lord alone, who can forgive sins. If you say to Him, "Lord, I
am full of sin; Thou canst make me clean"; "Lord, I have a terrible
temper; Thou canst make me clean"; "Lord, I have a deceitful heart.
Cleanse me, O Lord; give me a new heart. O Lord, give me the power to
overcome the flesh, and the snares of the devil!"; "Lord, I am full of
unclean habits"; if you come to Him with a sincere spirit, you will
hear the voice, "I will; be thou clean." It will be done. Do you think
that the God who created the world out of nothing, who by a breath put
life into the world--do you think that if He says, "Thou shalt be
clean," you will not?

Now, you can make a wonderful exchange to-day. You can have health in
the place of sickness; you can get rid of everything that is vile and
hateful in the sight of God. The Son of God comes down, and says, "I
will take away your leprosy, and give you health in its stead. I will
take away that terrible disease that is ruining your body and soul,
and give you my righteousness in its stead. I will clothe you with the
garments of salvation."

Is it not wonderful? That's what He means when He says--_I will_. Oh,
lay hold of this "I will!"

3. The "I Will" of Confession.

Now turn to Matthew, tenth chapter, thirty-second verse: "_Whosoever
therefore
