Cha2llne street rink long before o'clock

RETURN TO TUE LORD,
Mr.. Moody tookfo his text the seventh
verse OF thu Ssh chapter OF Isaiah-"Lss
the wicked forGake his way, and the IN.
righteous man his thoughts; and let him
return unto the Lord, and he will have
mercy up him; Rud to our I'D, fjr he
will abundantiy PARDON" You will OBJ
aelya that there are five important things
in this text. No one can be disciple OF
Christ without giving up ain,
In the next five months
there would be over one million ad
ditioual disciplea Of Christ II men did not
have give up their sins, TIE disciples oil
Maholnet and OonfuCius are not re Quired
to give up their lusts and passions but we
who follow after Christ must make some
sacrifices, aud It 10 just this thing Of COM
ing out and giving up thsir sins that keeps
men from Christ, Every man at some
time has got 10 lace the question, will
you give up ain and rtiolcs in heaven, or
/ live on In your Gin and repent in hell
Now, you arc Tree ag9u! Ia this matter (;
you can do as YOU please about giving up
sin, God ia NOT going to break down the
wall about your heart, but just as soon as
you open It's door he comes in; at all
times he 10 waiting snd ready to enter.

his sins. There are many men

man In tho boat they arc pulling at the
oars without loosening the boat. II the
road You are on is taking you further
away from ohriut ell tho time, why not
halt and turning 10 the other way. Many
say that they cant repent. That's not so |;
God don't command you TO do things
that you can't do. And then there are 80
many that have falsa ideas about repent
