“‘Hail Glorious gospel! heavenly light, whereby
We live with comfort, and with comfort die.’

I wished that glorious gospel was mine, that I might live and die with comfort; and it seemed as if I thought it would be so. I never felt so happy in all my life before. The words were often in my thoughts,—

‘Live with comfort, and with comfort die.’

Glorious gospel, indeed! I thought.”

“My dear child, what is the meaning of the word gospel?”

“Good news.”

“Good news for whom?”

“For wicked sinners, sir.”

“Who sends this good news for wicked sinners?”

“The Lord Almighty.”
