The Plan of Salvation

By Editor

We give this week an extract from the Plan of Salvation, containing as forcible an illustration as we have ever seen of the power brought to bear upon rebellious man for his redemption. It represents the Saviour as coming down upon this fallen globe to draw into allegiance to God the alienated heart of man, by a manifestation of his divine love, even as if the sun, the great center, which, by its attractive power holds together the solar system, should leave its sphere and follow some planet which had broken from its orbit, to throw around it an increased power of attraction and draw it back again to revolve in harmony with its system. We venture to affirm that the reader cannot peruse it without feeling the cords of that love which binds him to God multiplied and strengthened, and his heart glowing afresh with affection towards that Being who at so great a sacrifice came down to bid us be reconciled to God.
