As we close our talk together will you listen very softly.  Listen:  out of the distance comes a murmur of voices, like a low, long heart-cry.  It comes from near-by, where you live.  It comes most from far-away lands.  Its words are pathetically distinct:  “Will you save me? I have no one to save me.  Won’t you?” And we can do it.  But the gold and the life must go. Shall we do it, hand in hand with Jesus, the only Saviour?  Shall we not do it?
