We read in every issue of the press, we hear in every orator's harangue, warnings in regard to the terrible results that will follow the failure to perform some public measure for city, county, State, or national reform. They paint in vivid hues the sad demoralization that will follow the neglect to heed their warnings, while in the main the questions they present effect very slightly, it may be, the happiness or well-being of the individual, except the few interested individuals whose election or defeat hangs on the success or overthrow of the measure. But there is one question, the proper decision of which affects not slightly, but directly, the welfare of each individual, not temporally merely, but reaches on through eternity. This is the momentous question. It was asked by the Roman governor, Pilate, and has been presented to mankind ever since, "What shall I do with Jesus that is called the Christ?" On this question hangs the eternal welfare of the race; "For there is none other name under Heaven given among men whereby we must be saved." Dear reader, what are you doing with it? Are you trusting in and following Him whose name was called Jesus, because he should save his people from their sins? If so, happy are you. Or are you neglecting his claims? You do not need to blaspheme or be filled with rage against him. Mere neglect will do the work. If this is your position, we beseech you to consider well this question. It affects you. It demands your immediate attention. Ponder it; settle it as becomes a rational being. In God's name we beg you, be ye reconciled to Christ.—Sel.
