says to all, "Come unto me;" not to the Virgin Mary, or to any saint, but "to me, and I will give you rest. He declares himself to be both willing and sufficient to save you, if you come to him; and should any of you by this time be so far enlightened and happily made willing to be saved by the gospel, as to enquire how you may come to Christ, you are exhorted to "lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset you, and run with patience the race that is set before you." Pray to God to give you true repentance, and grace to forsake and abhor sin : view what Christ has done to redeem you, and consider how willing he is to save you.

Exercise faith in his promises: arise like the prodigal, and come, just as you are, to God for mercy and pardon through the merits of Christ's atonement; and he who has promised that whosoever cometh unto him he will in no-wise cast out, will receive you, pardon your sins, and make you happy in his love. All this, and more, he is waiting to do for you; and it needs not any long time to accomplish it, for he says "Now is the accepted time,-now is the day of salvation."

Accept of offered mercy, and God will receive you; he will "guide you by his counsel, and afterwards receive you to glory."
