To Save A Soul From Death Is...To Place A Jewel In The Crown Of JESUS.

What is it to save a soul from death?
(James Smith's autobiography, "Marvelous Mercy!" 1862)

The following is an excerpt 
from the diary of James Smith:

May 11, 1857. 
My soul burns with a desire to save souls! 

O how those words have been 
impressed on my mind lately, 

"He who turns a sinner 
from the error of his way--
will save a soul from death, 
and cover a multitude of sins!" 
James 5:20 

What is it for a soul to die? 
It is to remain under the just 
wrath and endless curse of GOD!

What is it to save a soul from death?  
It is to snatch an immortal brand 
from burning in Hell!

To save a soul from death, is . . .
  to rob satan of his prey,
  to deprive Hell of its fuel, and
  to prevent endless and 
indescribable torments! 

To save a soul from death, is . . .
  to place a jewel in the crown of JESUS, 
  to bring a sheep into the great 
ShEPHERD'S fold, and to tune a harp 
to the glorious harmony of Heaven!

To save a soul from death, is . . .
  the greatest work which one can do, 
  the highest honor which one can gain, 
  the most glorious triumph which one can win!
