There's a void in every man's bosom that wants filling up, and if we
only approach them with the right kind of bait we shall catch them.
This poor world needs a Saviour; and if we are going to be successful
in catching men, we must preach Christ crucified--_not His life only,
but His death_. And if we are only faithful in doing this we shall
succeed. And why? Because there is His promise: "If you follow Me, I
will make you fishers of men." And that promise holds just as good to
you and me as it did to His disciples, and is as true now as it was in
their time. "They that are wise shall shine like the sun in the
firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness like the stars for
ever and ever." Think then of the exalted privilege of turning one
soul to Christ. You set a stream in motion that shall go on running
for ages after you are gone. "Blessed are they that die in the Lord;
for they rest from their labours, and their works do follow them."
