is
for you to love leprosy; and yet that is your condition. "Ah, but,"
says some one, "I don't believe in sudden conversions." Don't you?
Well, how long did it take Naaman to be cured? The seventh time he
went down, away went the leprosy. Read the great conversions recorded
in the Bible. Saul of Tarsus, Zacchaeus, and a host of others; how long
did it take the Lord to bring them about? Why, they were effected in a
minute. We are born in iniquity, shapen in it, dead in trespasses and
sin; but when spiritual life comes it comes in a moment, and we are
free both from sin and death.

The other day, as I was walking down the street, I heard some people
laughing and talking aloud, and one of them said, "Well, there will be
no difference, it will be all the same a hundred years hence." And the
thought flashed across my mind, "Will there be no difference?

WHERE WILL YOU BE A HUNDRED YEARS HENCE?"

Continent, and brought letters with him to eminent physicians from the
Emperor. And the letters said, "This man is a personal friend of mine,
and we are afraid he is going to lose his reason; do all you can for
him." So the doctor asked him if he had lost any dear friend in his
own country, or any position of importance, or what it was that was
weighing on his mind. And the young man said, "No; but my father and
grandfather and myself were brought up infidels, and for the last two
or three years this thought has been haunting me, 'Where shall I spend
eternity?' And the thought of it follows me day and night."

The doctor said, "You have come to the wrong physician, but I will
tell you of one who can cure you"; and he told him of Christ, and read
to him the fifty-third chapter of Isaiah, "With His stripes we are
healed." And the young man said, "Doctor, do you believe that?" The
doctor told him he did, and pr
