He breaches on Redemption, Repent
ance and Salvation.
DR.. Munhan had perhaps the largest
congregation last night he has yet had
The Independent Presby terrain church
was crowded up stairs and down, and
many OF the most prominent people in
savannah were among his hearers. The
subject Of his sermon was the willingness
OF God to pardon man il the latter re-
penis Of his sins. ''The day that our first
parents ate Of the fruit that day they died
spirituality" he remarked. "If you are
unsaved you are spiritually dead. They
used in ancient times TO bind criminal to
a dead body and let the liyingdie securely
fastened to the corpse. So il is
with the unconverted. They are
bound hand and foot to sim
and unless they repent they will
die With the thong and letters still around
their bodies. Give yourself up to the
/ Master and you will have life both here
and hereafter. You can come if you will,
but your will stands as an insuperable
carrier.
Redemption is an accomplished fact
Either we have to die eternally or accept
the death Of another as 3 propitiation for
our sins. The law has been satisfied and
YOU can be saved If you will.
when it comes to the matter of redemp-
tion am an Universalist, but am not
an Uniyersalist when it comes to the mat
ter of salvation. The Bible says
that Jesus Christ, by His death, re-
deemed the whole world but
it does not say that he saved the whole
world The trouble with the Universal
lists is they make the two words, redemp-
ton and salvation, interchangeable. Re
demption is what Christ did for US. Sal
walton Is what He does for us when we
yield ourselves up to Him. The differ
ence between the two is as great as the
difference between life and death.
"There is not single thing in your way
TO prevent being saved except your own
unwillingness. All this talk that you
hear from blatant infidels and weakened
preachers about man not being RESPONSE
1 ble is untrue.
This talk that Beecher and a lot more
! peddle around about God being fierce
monster to cresteus and then make us ac-
I countable for our actions, and punish us
/ II we don't do Just so, is a libel on truth,
I Man Is not an autOmatOn. He has the
/ right Of choosing between right and
wrong. II a man violates law he mast
suffer the responsibility. Ifany preacher
/ comes around and tells you ANYTHING
| 20 home and read Jer. xiii. The Bible
/ says that we must repent. What is re-
/ pentanoel Well will tell you some things
/ that 1t is not. II is not fear. When a
sailor gets frightened IN storm
and prays, and when the storm Is over
| goes to swearing as hard as ever, he has
not repented. Repentance is not feeling.
/ nor remOrse either. Judas had plenty OF
/ remorse when he went out 10 hang himself.
! but he did not have repentance. Repent
auce ia not conviction, nor fasting, nor
/ praying, nor swearing OF from some par
/ ticular sin about the first OF the year, ana
then taking it uD again before the middle
Of February. You have got 10 have
another mind. just turn around and go
ia the opposite direction. In military par
lance would say, 'Haltl-About face -
Marchp
"My uncnnverted friends, you are on
the wrong train--the one going TO hell.
Get of Of II ; turn around, and get on the
gospel train that is running towards
heaven
