From the dust of six thousand years bring out the old covenant of Eden, and on that soiled and torn banner, you read the fading motto, "Do and live." But what read we on the folds of the triumphant banner, which, defiant of hell and the world, waves on Mount Calvary, and under which believers, panoplied in the armour of God, march to crowns and victory? The eye of a sinner's hope hails and kindles at the sight of another and better motto; for there, inscribed in the blood of Jesus, like red letters on a snow-white ground, we read, "Believe and live." Thus as salvation is the one thing needful for man, faith is the one thing needful for salvation.
