My text this evening Is from Isaiah v in this text
is told to seek the Lord. II Is just much COM
mandmcnt you seek The Lord that you shall not
swear Many have an idea that there only ten
mandnonts IN the Bible. There are a thousand and
this ~ one. Now, just how men seek Tor wealth
when the gold fever broke out IN California see how
men Lett home and famllics--what for that they
might get wealth They could not make too great a
sacrifice get wealth. Let learn n lesson from
them. n tho gift OF God worth seeking after let US
seek H. Why not settle the question TO- night9 may
be speaking 10 some tonight who will hear tho invita-
tion for the last time. q, come to- night
