vOr that made Rthe old tent shake and
made the bfeacher smile softly.
The evangelist then read a few selected
verses and announced his text. "What
l have written L have written - were
the words and a new light was flashed
across that sarcastic utterance of PLATE.
'There are two something's and one
someone with whom we all have to do.
Those who went away from this tent yes
terday have felt them and those who are
here to-day feel them. Conscience and
record are the things and God is the
someone.
"Now 1 want you to give me your at
tentlon and be quiet. If you we come
here to find circus you II find it the
most serlouseircus you ever got tangled
up with, and if you can't keep your lit
tie mouth sEat you just get up and get
out o. ,hefs
"'WhaE9 have written have written

BOSOM ;ss5s is the voice of God in the soul 6.
IsJf is that which cries when you face a

is theSnan in this audience who has not
felt TIE pangs of an outraged conscience?
Whefe is the man who has not been at
sometime unable to eat though the table
was# set for him? Where is the
MAN. who has not been I'M
able 10 sleep though the bad was soft
| as DOWN because of the paugs of an OUT
! ragged conscience. It is the voice of God
in the bosom, and where Is the man who
has not felt 1t? . And it is as truly part
of theman as the hand. 1t is as much d
| part OF you as the head, and as INSOFAR
able II life. Conscience and record
| They stand like an inscruteble index
| finger pointing the way to God, and God
| stands, great index, pointing the way
| to the judgment seat of Christ. The poe:
was right: 1t is not all of life to live nor
of death to die.
Judgment! You all know what that
means in the courts, and Judgment in
| the ecclesiastical sense is the last great
sessions of heaven S chancery. Judge
ment! You know how in this
world there are only three ways
! of escaping judgment and these
are, by force of law, by force OF
| testimony and by force of pardon and
| the clenency OF the governor. You may
say man may flee from justice, he may
| bribe the grand jury, he may violate The
| law and bride the jury or even the
| Judge, he may defy the tribunal
to catch him, but when judgment il
rendered there are but the three ways
he may be guilty but no law to fit his
case. he NAV be guiltless and 60 free, OF
he may receive pardon and go free and
| happy once more. But in the great tri-
| bunal up there there is no escape fol
him who violates the law. If you take
| the wings of the morning and fly to the
desert God is there. If you make your
bed in hell God is there. You cannot es-
cape. God may burn down the world
| and sift the ashes but Hell
bring you every one before the
great judgment seat of Christ
| every path that you take from the tab.
ernacle leads there and everyone of the
devious roads in the world converge tC
| that point. You can t bride God 8 grand
jury, you can't bride the Judge of al
the earth! Shall 1 who haven It a thing
in the world, try it? Shall 1 defy the
authority of Him who put the flaming
mass on his anvil and made world o.
every spark He struck out? Shall
bride Him? No. no!
Listen, listenl Can any one in thi!
audience look at this Bible and say
never violated the laws of that book il
my life. Some will say we not violated
many, but God says he who has broker
the least OF them Is guilty of all. How
can that be, you say? Listen. I've {
boat chained down there on the river
and we lost the key to the paddock. d.
L need to cut every one of those hundred
links to get it free2 Do need to cut
dozen of the biggest ones? No, whel
l cut one i: IS as free as if cut them all
So the soul that breaks one of the com
mandments is as guilty as if he brok
every one of the decalogue. There is nc
hope for US in the law. 1 say l would no
take the record of the purest soul tina
ever lived and stand on the law and ex.
pect an acquittal.
Chow do We stand on testimony?
