I do not know into whose hands this tract may fall. But I know there is no living soul, who ought not to feel an interest in its subject. Young men or maidens, old men or children, married or single, gentle or simple, listen to a question;—Shall you be saved? Reader, I entreat you in all affection, to examine the question I put before you. I address you as a dying creature,—an immortal creature,—a creature going to be judged before the bar of God. As ever you would die in peace, rise again with hope, be acquitted in the day of judgment, and live for ever in glory,—give me a hearing this day. Shall you be saved? If it were on easy thing to be saved, I would not address you as I do. But is it so? Let us see. If the common opinion of the world, as to the number of the saved, was correct, I would not trou-ble you. But is it so? Let us see. If God had never spoken plainly in the Bible about the number of the saved, I might well be silent. But is it so? Let us see. If experience and facts left it doubtful whether many or few would be saved, I might hold my peace. But is it so? Let us see. Come now, and let me set before you in order the four following points.
