"That there is a great deal of sin at the present time, none will deny; of course the law of God is much disregarded; for "sin is the transgression of the law." 1 John 3:4.
And as it is God's decree that "the soul that sinneth, it shall die" (Eze. 18:4), we feel that it is a duty we owe to God and to our fellow-men, to raise our voices in warning them to turn from their sins, and live.
But there are many who will not be convinced of their sins;
-- they deny the Bible,
-- the text-book of righteousness,
-- and charter of our eternal inheritance.
Such we are obliged to leave to their own ways; for they cannot be saved who willfully reject the counsel of God.
We lament their blindness, but can do no more."
Joseph Waggoner
