Bring out from the dust of six thousand years the old covenant of Eden, and on that soiled and tom banner you read the fading motto, “Do and live.” But what read we on the folds of this banner, which, defiant of hell and the world, waves above Calvary, and under which believers march to crowns and victory! The eye of a sinner’s hope kindles at the sight of another and a better motto; for there, inscribed in the blood of Jesus, like red letters on a snow-white ground we read, “Believe and live.” Salvation is the only thing needful for man, and faith is the one thing needful for salvation.—GUTHRIE.
