The Lord hath laid on Him the
iniquity of us all." No one else had a right to touch them. Then I
want the Son, who "His own self bare my sins in His own body on a
tree." And I want the Holy Ghost. I should know nothing about this
great salvation, and care nothing for it, if the Holy Ghost had not
come and told me the story, and given me grace to believe it.

Mr. M.--What is meant when we are told that Christ saves "to the
uttermost?"

Mr. R.--That is another grand truth. Some people are troubled by the
thought that they will not be able to hold out if they come to
Christ. There are so many crooked ways, and pitfalls, and snares in
the world; there is the power of the flesh, and the snare of the
devil. So they fear they will never get home. The idea of the
passage is this. Suppose you are on the top of some splendid
mountain, very high up. You look away to where the sun sets, and you
see many a river, and many a country, and many a barren waste
between. Christ is able to save you through and over them all, out
and out, and beyond to the uttermost.

Mr. M.--Suppose a man came in here just out of prison: all his life
he has been falling, falling, till he has become discouraged. Can
Christ save him all at once?

Mr. R.--It is just as easy for Christ to save a man with the weight
of ten thousand sins upon him and all his chains around him, as to
save a man with one sin. If a man has offended in one point, the
Scripture says he is guilty of all.

Mr. M.--If a man is forgiven, will he go out and do the same thing
to-morrow?

Mr. R.--Well, I hope not. All I can say is that if we do, we shall
smart for it. I have done many a thing since the Lord revealed
Himself to my soul that I should not have done--I have gone backward
and downward; but I have always found that it does not pay when I do
anything that grieves my Heavenly Father. I think He sometimes
allows us to taste the bitterness of what it is to depart from Him.
And this is one of the many ways by which He keeps us from falling.

Mr. M.--What do you consider to be the great sin of sins?

Mr. R.--The Word of God tells us that there is only one sin of which
God alone can convince us. If I cut a man's throat or if I steal, it
does not need God to convince me that that is a sin. But it takes
the power of the Holy Ghost to convince me that not to receive
Christ, not to love Christ, not to believe in Christ, is the sin of
sins, the root of sins. Christ says, "When the
