SALVATION
"Save thy soul," saith the preacher. "Be that thy one care."
Is there then nothing more urgent for thee than to save thy soul? Was it for that only that spirit was entrusted to thee?
"Live rightly," saith the preacher, "that thou mayest have peace; and blessedness hereafter"
Is it for thine own comfort that thou wilt live rightly? With a little virtue wilt thou bargain for heaven?
"God seeks thee," saith the preacher. "He implores thee to come to him. For very love of thee he reaches out both hands to save thee."
And wilt thou turn to God in the love of thyself? And wilt thou love God to save thy soul?
Is it for her soul's sake that a mother loves? Does she deny herself that she may be blessed hereafter?
