will
believe the word of God. Why should not every man and woman in this
house have faith in God? Why should not every one put confidence in
Him now, and trust God to save them? And let me say, if you are ever
saved, you will have to come to this one point of trusting to God for
salvation. You never will be saved until you put your trust and
confidence in God.

SETTING THE SEAL.

Look at John iii. 33: "He that hath received his testimony hath set to
his seal that God is true." In those days men used to wear a signet
ring, with their initials, and instead of signing their names, they
used to take the ring and seal the document. That was setting to their
seal; that was an endorsement. And now God comes down into this
unbelieving world, and says, "Who will set to his seal that I am
true?" And so I want to ask the friends in this hall, Who will set to
his seal or her seal that God is true? It is a great deal better for
us to make ourselves liars and God true than to try and make ourselves
out true and God a liar. That is what many men will do. Who will set
to his seal that God is true? Unbelief says, "I won't." Faith says, "I
will set to my seal." Oh, may God help many now to say, "I will set to
my seal that God is true" this very hour; and, my friends, the moment
you do set your seal that God is true, and put your faith in God, then
comes the peace, the happiness you have been looking for so long!

NO PEACE WITHOUT TRUST.

A great many people go looking for peace and happiness before they
trust. There will be no peace, no happiness, no joy, until you put
your trust in God. The joy that flows through the Christian's heart is
the result of trusting God. Suppose I meet a man to-night leaping for
joy, laughing at the top of his voice. I say, "My friend, what makes
you so happy?" "Oh, I don't know; I am so happy I cannot contain my
feelings!" What would you say? Why, you would say the man had gone
mad. But suppose I meet a man whom I have seen out here night after
night begging, and I say to him, "Hullo, beggar, is that you?" "Don't
call me a beggar; I am no longer a beggar." "Are not you the man who
has been begging here every night?" "Yes." "Where did you get your
good clothes? How is this you are not a beggar?" "No, I am no beggar;
I am worth a thousand pounds." "How is that?" "Well, sir, last night I
was here begging, and a man came along and put a thousand pounds in my
hand." "How did you know it was good money?" "I
