81 have no right to advise o man to do
anything that he might not die doing that
and die saved"
"If you are ready to say tonight, 'l've
done, I've quit then you are right where
God can pat His hands on you"
IF you want to know where all the graft
tude of my heart centers to-day l will tell
you 60 back to that August Gay when

%It's not SO much whom and where a man
joins the church. It's all right, just so he
sticks up to it"

"There is no argument in hell or earth to
teach me that the love of God is not in my

Everybody ought to keep good company.
There Is not an angel in heaven proof
against bad company
"Religion is u reality with me, as much so

ali you will let me 1 would cut loose the
last ligament that binds you to sin, and let
you swim out into the bottomless, boundless
ocean of the love of God.n
"What is judgments 1t is the equitable

sfhe difference between the most unre-

but don't give you any credit for it,"
churches of this town? Ten thousand gal
Ions of liquor sold to-day by a member OF
the Methodist church. MY God! A moth
er's tears and church's prayers can never
wipe it out"
Uonsoiencel Thank God for every cultivs-
ted and enlightened conscience on the face
of the earth. The saddest sight the world
ever saw is an outraged conscience that has
been outraged by sin until it is as it 1t had
been scared and branded with hot iron.

"Many fellows pray for rain with their
tubs bottom side up. God can't fill tn b
in that sway, unless he exercises gravity .
You put your tub right side up, hoops tight
and close up under the caves, and you will
hear something thunder.
at is not asking much Iof you to ask you
to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. l be-
ieved him for twenty-five years, but did
not believe on him as much as the devil did.
The devil believed on him and trembled; l
believed Him and went on drinking"
"a man will tell you that no one can get
religion without going to the altar. Why,
affairs started down in Georgia sixty nine
years ago,s and l tell you, you can be q
christian without an altar"
''An old woman gave me the best efni-
ton of religion and repentance l ever heard.
Repentance is being so sorry for your mean
news you won't do it any more. Religion is
if God will just forgive me for it aiu't 60
ing to want to do it any more"
Il can't defy the great God that tries me
at the last day. / can not rush up in the
face of the great God, who in the beginning
held flaming mass of eternity in HIS hand
and pounded it with his powerful arm until
every spark that few from it made,a world ="
''Thank God for bee-line to good world.
Do You know what that means? The bees
after going from flower to flower with its,
velvet tread, and after extracting the honey
lice for its hive. HAPPY, happy, thrice
happy will we be when we can strike bee
line for a good world"
"The gospel of God is but an old wagon
shop on the road to heaven to mend up
your old vehicles and send you off to heaven.
Oh, friends, if the shops hold out on my
road TO heaven Pm going to get there. All
you've got to do is to roll up under the cross
and get mended for heaven"
"MorEl corruption in ones nat ura or hell
are the terrors to which the sinner drifts.
One is just as bad as tie other. It's like q
prisoner in jail who is sentenced to be hung
and who breaks out with terrible case of
smallpox. If he gets our the disease he'll
be hung, and if he isn't hung he'll die of
smallpox.
81 want this congregation to pray for the
reporters in this meeting. l don't say that
to tickle Jour risibles. God knows that they
come here in a prefundory way to report
the meeting. God grant that the angels
NAY record in heaven that the reporters are
saved. My heart goes out to them"
"WhRt shall l do to be saved? Open your
heart and let the heavenly guest come in.
Christ always lives where there is room for
HMM the lawyers office, in the shop, in
the store, in the locomotive engine and in
the baggage-car. He is everywhere where
there is room for him."
s'God never does anything for q fellow
that that fellow can do for himself. God
never quit drinking W Risky for anybody
de never quit lying for any body, and He
never quit stealing for any body. That is
your JOB, sir. God never prayed secretly
for anybody
IA mother said to me; "My little daugh-
ter, jagged years doesn't know anything
about the plan of salvation; she thinks she
does, but she is mistaken said, You 90
head and put your little daughter foot, and
I'll ask the questions and see which knows
the most about itP The mother said she
wouldn't do it."
"see that boat chained to the bank yon-
der. have not got a key. / want to get
it loose. How many links shall cut? Ten,

And when one sin gets hold of US it is as if
we had violated everything in the decalogue.
There is not q word in the book about
getting religion. Getting religion may
mean great deal and it may not mean
much. When a man tells mo he has got re-
ligion, ask him. DO you mean that you
have got Christ onthroned in your heart. II
he says, 'Yes,' then I SAY, Give me your

sit is like the old farmer going from home.
He tells his four boys to pitch in work and
plant this fold in corn, that 10 cotton and
that in wheat. Two OF the boys gosto work
and the other two sit in the shade. By and
by they come and sit on the fence and say to
the workers, "The grass is about to take
your CROP The workers cay eyes, and if
you had done your part of the work we
wouldn't be in the grass And that's it.
Y Gu old sinners come here and sit out there
while few of US work. Come up and help
"a GOT out of tine grassl'
