| seniatiOn by Rev. j. :. MOser OF "The
greatest transaction, sale, or bargain ever
| made" Judas, said he, agreed to betray
| the Lord for sbOut Slj in cash. Love Of
money was his weakness. His sin and lis
consequences were great, but we must look
to ourselves. There are men here who have
| done the sane thing. Jesus Christ is yours
gift from God; yours until you trade him
| OF. A Christian even thiuking more and
more about himself and little worldly
| pleasures soon commits Judas's sin.
