“I warn everyone to beware of a hope not drawn from Scripture. It is a false hope, and many will find out this to their cost. That glorious and perfect book, the Bible,
however people despise it, is the only fountain out of which man’s soul can derive
peace. Many sneer at the old book while living, who find their need of it when dying.
“The Queen in her palace and the pauper in the workhouse, the philosopher in his
study and the child in the cottage—each and all must be content to seek living water from the Bible, if they are to have any hope at all. Honor your Bible—read your Bible—stick to your Bible. There is not on earth a scrap of solid hope for the other side of the grave which is not drawn out of the Word.”
