Mercy For The Poor

Thank God there is mercy for the poor! The great Dr. Mason preached over a hundred times the same sermon, and the text was, “To the poor the gospel is preached.” Lazarus went up, while Dives went down; and there are candidates for imperial splendor in the back alleys and by the peat fire of the Irish shanty.

King Jesus set up His throne in a manger and made a resurrection day for the poor widow of Nain, and sprang the gate of heaven wide open, so that all the beggars and thieves and scoundrels of the universe may come in if they only repent.—TALMAGE.
