There is not one living upon the earth, but may be a partaker of eternal life and heavenly happiness if he will; and whosoever comes short of the glory of God will be self-condemned, for he would not, even when entreated and beseeched, accept God's unspeakable gift. Go into all the world, and preach the gospel unto every creature: freely ye have received, freely give; and tell all men they may enter the gates of the city if they are willing; none are excluded, but they who exclude themselves; none are beyond the reach of salvation, but they who deliberately and wilfully despise it. "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." The book of God's remembrance is the opened books of nature, scripture, and providence. What is written, if not in accordance with what is already revealed, must be rejected: "to the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them." (Isa. viii. 20.) Nothing can be added, neither must any thing be diminished from what was written aforetime; wo unto that man who will do either the one or the other; but blessed are they, who, like the noble Bereans, will search the Scriptures daily, whether these things be so. I speak as unto wise men, judge ye what I say; if God

be not now speaking, take heed how and what you hear; but if you cannot but perceive the finger of God, see that ye refuse not him that speaketh. "He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly: Amen. Even so, the Lord Jesus has now come." Prepare to meet thy God, O Israel. "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

Amen."
