 THE WORLD'S FAMOUS ORATIONS

Sinner, believe on Jesus Christ; hear the whole gospel preached to thee. It is written in God's Word, "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved. ' ' Hear me translate it : He that believeth and is immersed shall be saved. Be- lieve thou, trust thyself on the Savior, make a profession of thy faith in baptism, and then thou mayest rejoce in Jesus, that he hath saved thee. But remember not to make a profession till thou hast believed; remember, baptism is nothing until thou hast faith. Remember, it is a farce and a falsehood until thou hast first believed; and afterward it is nothing but the profession of thy faith.
