do with Jesus Christ.As the Apostle Peter says in 1 Peter i.8.,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus. And then and there Stephen Holcombe saw Christ on the Cross for his sin. He saw all his sins, the murder and all, laid on Christ. Then and there Stephen Holcombe found peace, and from that day he has gone up and down our country preaching Christ and the atoning blood that gave him peace. Is there some man or woman here tonight haunted with the memory of the evil you have done? Men and women, there is a way to find peace, only one wayby simple faith in a Christ that was crucified on the cross of Calvary for your sin. 3. In the third place, finding deep and abiding joy depends on what we do with Jesus Christ.As the Apostle Peter says in 1 Peter i.8., "Though now ye see Him not, yet, believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory." A man can never get joy through the accumulation of wealth. Many have tried it, but no one has ever succeeded. A man cannot get joy through seeking the world's honours; many have tried it, but no one has ever succeeded. A man cannot get joy through indulging in the worlds pleasures. millions have tried it, but no one has ever succeeded. But, friends, the wretchedest heart in this world can find joy tonight through believing in Christ crucified and risen. Some years ago I remember a noblewoman of your country was studying at our Bible Institute in Chicago, and on the day she left the Institute she told us these two incidents that I appened over here in England. She said, "I had a letter from a dear friend of mine, a lady, and she asked me to come at once to see her. I hurried to her home, and, as I went up the elegant marble stairway and saw the costly paintings on the walls and the magnificent statues that lined the hall, I said to myself, `I wonder if all this wealth and splendour makes my friend happy.' I did not have to wait long to find out, for presently the lady came hurrying into the room, and, after greeting me, dropped into a seat and burst into tears. All the wealth, honour and dignity of her position had not given her joy. After this I went to visit, a poor blind woman in an humble cottage. It was a dark rainy day, and the rain was dripping through the badly thatched roof, gathering in a pool before the chair where the woman sat. When I saw the poverty of that blind woman I was driven to turn to her and say, `Maggie, are you not miserable?' `What, lady?' and she turned her sightless eyes to me in surprise. `What, lady? I miserable; I, the child of a King, and hurrying on to the mansion He has gone to prepare for me? I miserable? No, no, lady, I am happy!'" Wealth had not brought joy to the one, but a living faith in Jesus Christ had brought joy to the other in the midst of her overly and misfortune. 4. In the fourth place, our obtaining eternal life depends entirely on what we do with Jesus Christ. We read in 1 John v. 11, 12, "God hath
