Well of Salvation in a World Thirsting for Joy
Dr. Talmage likens religion to a refreshing well that satisfies a thirsty world. He uses the Mesopotamian well scene with Jacob and Rachel to urge universal invitation, remove pride, and bring all peoples to Christ for eternal life. He consoles the sorrowing, promises heavenly reunion, and concludes with the hope of heaven and universal praise.
