Christian Treasury Matthew 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Are there not things more precious than gold and bank stocks? When the Central America was foundering at sea, bags and purses of gold were strewn about the deck as worthless — as merest rubbish. "Life, life," was the prayer. To some of the wretched survivors, "Water, water; bread, bread; " it was worth its weight in gold, if it could have been bought. And oh! above all — far above all, the salvation of your soul is precious. Is it not yet lost? Is it saved? (Christian Treasury.)
