"None In Hell!"

 

"NONE IN HELL!"

by William Norton

"Tracts everywhere!" said a youth with a sneer, as a young Christian lad handed him a leaflet one Lord's Day afternoon.

"No," said the lad quietly, "there will be none in hell," and passed on.

God fastened that single sentence as a nail in a sure place and he could not get rid of it—"None in hell!" seemed to echo in his ears every time he saw a tract, and ultimately he was converted.

Reader, there will be "None in hell!" Neither gospel invitation nor gospel entreaties.

How earnestly the lost multitudes, in the hopeless region of despair, would welcome the first invitation of mercy; but their day is past, their time of grace is over. Of these there is "None in hell!" How are you treating them on earth?

These golden opportunities, solemn warnings—these loving invitations of God, as (John 3:16): "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Accept them, speedily; for, remember, there will be "None in hell." Prov. 1:24-28.
