God is able to save me.” Go down to that house again in a few weeks: and what a change! As you approach you hear someone singing. It is not the song of a reveller, but the strains of that good old hymn, “ Rock of Ages .” The children are no longer afraid of the man, but cluster around his knee.

The only way to get into the kingdom of God is to be “born” into it. The law of this country requires that the President should be born in the country. When foreigners come to our shores they have no right to complain against such a law, which forbids them from ever becoming Presidents.
