"We may urge [death] as a motive to conversion with all the fervour and eloquence we can command, and yet fail to inspire one alarmed feeling, or rouse one serious thought. But, change the theme - hold forth the Second Coming of the Lord to judge the quick and the dead...and you have touched a chord of feeling, and have unsealed a fount of thought, which the most vivid and impressive presentation of death would never have effected."
