Which day?

OR,

"FETCH THEM IN, AND TELL THEM OF JESUS."

"Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart." JER. XXIX. 12, 13.

"But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were afar off are

made nigh by the blood of Christ."-EPH. ii. 13.

"Just like me!" in darkness straying,
Lost amid the snares of death,
Satan's wiles my feet betraying

Down to Hell that lurked beneath;
Love and mercy followed me—

And a strong arm set thee free.

"Just like me!"-the Saviour found me,
When the wild flood o'er me roll'd,
And He brake the bonds that bound thee,
And He wooed thee to His fold;

"A long way off"-a long time He
Had watched to save thee-just like me!

"A long way off" from Christ and glory,

"A long way off" from joy and home;
None told the sweet peace-giving story,
Yet Jesus whispered, "Sinner, come!
Behold, I bore the curse for thee;
My Father loves thee-come to ME!"

And now from Satan's wiles and sorrow,
And sin, and poverty, and loss-
A long way off!-a cloudless morrow

Breaks o'er the dark noon of the Cross.
The wanderer hath found a rest

Upon a risen Saviour's breast!
