/ tion." because it is universal in its
scope. 1t takes in the whole world.
UNIVERSAL! No, not in the broad and
popular sense of universal salvation by
some means or other. When we call
1t a universal salvation we do not mean
that God Is too good and kind and low
ing to damn anybody; that somehow or
other everybody is going to finally get
through the pearly gates and into the
Eternal City. No, we cannot read Gods
plain message that way. But we do
mean that Gods salvation is universal
in it's scope, and that whatsoever will"
may be saved. We do mea that Gods
plan is broad enough, and long enough,
Him and live. We do mean that Gods
plan is deep enough to reach down to
the very mouth of hell and snatch from
eternal death the poor soul that will
lift but one feeble glance of faith to
Him or utter n dying cry of repent
ance and faith in Christ. And it is high
enough to lift the poorest sinner, the
most humble and despised disciple, up
to a throne and a crown in Heaven.
Gods salvation is universal, for He
longs ito have all men saved and come
to the knowledge of the truth" He
takes mo delight" in the death of the
wicked. He calls to all the world:
s'Whosoever will may come" and be
saved.
1t is $50 great salvation" because it
Is an eternal salvation. Man measures
values with a short yard stick, but God
uses a measuring rod which is not lin
tied to time, but extends on and on and
on through the endless years of eternity.
Eternal salvation. A salvation that
knows no end. / remember hearing of
a man once who was saved from death
by drowning a half dozen times, and
then at last met his end in a watery
grave. He was saved from death in the

at Galveston AID the newspapers were
filled with the blood-curdling details OF
Deaths relentless harvest, it was a re-
lief and a joy to read of some incident
OF heroic rescue, of some one who at the
risk of life and limb had snatched a
precious life from the very jaws OF
death. These were the bright touches
In that awful black picture of death.
The world is ever eager to hear OF such
incidents. When the explosion of gun
powder in the turret of the battleShlp
Missouri snuffed out over a score OF the
lives of our brave seamen, we were
thrilled with the story of the heroic
action of the gunner's mate who sprang
through the open doO of the powder
magazine and closed the iron door just
as the flames leaped against it. Into
the face of death he rushed that he
might save the ship and its 600 precious
lives. He knew that the apartment
would be Immediately flooded and that
he would probably be drowned like a
rat in a trap, but it did not make him
falter. He was saving the lives OF his
comrades and his superiOrs. And more
dead than alive, with the water up to
his neck, he was finally rescued from
his watery tomb. Such stories are the
sparkling diamond settings in the ebony
background of disaster and death. 1t
warns the blood and quickens the pulse
to hear and read of such incidents. And
If the story of human rescue from i'm
pending physical death thrills and in
terests So, how much more should the
story of the Divine rescue from impend-
ing soul death fascinate and quicken the
scarf of mantle story of so great
salvation"

This is the wonderful salvation
i which God offers to you and to me.
and as He offers it and in patience waits
it's acceptance, the servant of God, in
our text, exclaims: How shall we es-
cape if we neglect so great salvation"
There are an infinite number of rea-
sons why people reject Gods offer Of
salvation. We have not space or time
to enumerate them. You know what
it is that is keeping you from accept
ing of this $50 great salvation" But
our text suggests perhaps the reason
why most people are not saved. Just
simple neglect. But even those who
neglect so great salvation" are to be
lost with all those who for other rea-
sons reject Gods offer. Ah, how
many, many precious souls, who know
of Gods offer of salvation, who be-
lieve that Jesus is the Son of God and
the Saviour of the world, are every day
and month and year going down to eter-
nal death because of neglect! They in
tend some day to close with Gods Of
fer. They want to be saved. But they
keep putting off. They neglect $50
great salvation" and how can they es-
cape? They have no excuse to offer.
Neglect has written the warrant of
death against their souls. The Ques-
ton which our text asks has
been answered. Man has theorized
and speculated over it, but never has
there been an answer found for this
solemn question: How shall we es-
cape?" Yea, answer oh, soul! Con-
slider the matter we'll! How shall you
escape if you neglect SO great saliva
ton? You cannot escape, for there is
salvation in none other than In
Jesus, ''for there is no other name
under Heaven given among men,
whereby we must be saved" Then let
not neglect. or any other thing hinder
you from accepting the salvation
which God so freely offers you. Let
this question burn itself into your
heart: How shall we escape, if We
neglect so great salvation?"

DAUL REVERE riding madly in ad-
L anc of the onrushing flood was able
to warn many of the impending danger,
and it was a great salvation which he
wrought that day, but it was a salvation
which only involved a small section, a
mere dot on the surface of the earth,
and it was only a salvation from phys
ical death. But not so with the saliva
ton which God has wrought. His is a
salvation which is worldwide in its
scope and meaning. that is, it is a uni
versal salvation. And it is also an
eternal salvation; a costly and glo-
riOus salvation; a complete saliva
ton; an immediate salvation; and
an only salvation. No wonder
that God, speaking through the inspired
writer of the Hebrews, calls it $50 great
salvation" No wonder the Bible, from
Genesis to Revelation, is filled with the
theme. 80 great salvation" Con-
ceived and planned and wrought out by
God the Father, and God the Son and
God the Holy Spirit. The blessed Trim
ity united in the one purpose of rescuing
the human race, Lost and ruined by sin,
from death and destruction. 1t is a
wonderfully thrilling story. The story
of mans peril and of Gods saving grace.
The story of man lost in the darkness
of sin and Jesus coming from Heaven
to earth to find him and bring him back
to God. The story of man helplessly in
the power of Satan and doomed to de-
StructiOn with him and the Mighty De-
%liverer, Christ Jesus, coming in all-con-
Quering power and setting the captive
free.
