mortal ears. Men of the most devout and reverent spirit are beginning to
take these larger views. The day is breaking; soon the shadows will
flee away.

If such promises as we have quoted seem too general, or merely
national, just confine your attention to a few which are evidently of a
far wider scope.

Christ says he will draw all men to Himself. Then He must do so in the
next life; for certainly He is not doing so now. But His word will
stand. He will do all His pleasure. It is a marvel that the Christian
world has taken so long to see this promise in its glorious fulness.

In harmony with the statement just referred to, we read in Isaiah that
"he shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied." Are
not these wonderful words? How are they to be explained? The travail of
His soul! Who can fathom that abyss of woe? The very words are
suggestive of untold agony. I believe that at the last He touched a
depth of woe which no man or angel has sounded.

But He shall have a recompense that will satisfy Him. Does not that
point to the salvation of the whole race? Would anything less satisfy
Him? Does He not say that He came to save the world? And will anything
less satisfy Him? Certainly He is not satisfied now. The moiety of
mankind that is saved now, or to be saved to the end of time, will not
satisfy Him. No! His divine love embraces the whole race.

What then about the uncounted millions who never heard of Him? What
about the millions that are dying now, and that never heard the music of
His name? Is not every one of them in the divine scheme of salvation?
