gers. That's what you want. but I've
| got big pair of gospel forceps, aud IL
| pull the impurities out, and when that g
| done there won't be much left of some
| of you.
"Hear me, God knows mean rightly /,
and if you stood here aud saw with the
! same angle, you would talk like me.
| But you, young man, you just go on
eussing; you think IL necessary to be a
man, you little black mouthed vice. I've
| got contempt for you I can t express.
| Quit that profanity, quit it!
eff we repent, He is faithful and just
to forgive our SINS. There two kinds of
| repentence-sorrow for sin and quit of
sin. Some folks think blubber is re-
pentence. Suppose l had son twenty
| one years old who came home drunk
now don t go away and say 1 have a son
who is q druukard. I'm supposing
a case; but you won't get hundred
yards away from this tent before you
say Sam Jones boys a drunkard. Sup
pose he should sit down and blubber and
still get drunk, aud I'd say to him,
Son, you must do one of two things
stop blubberng or stop drinking;'
and say, Father, I've stopped
drInking;' and I'd say, Son, when
you were drinking it did no good to
blubber and now you don't need to
blubber. Blubbering is not repentance.
Can't stop! You little rascal whO've
hardly cut your mustachel You re
liar. you can stop! l was overtakeu in
fault says one. You lying old
scampl There's one sure thing,
barrel or q bottle has no legs. You
overlook it, you rascal! Hear me!
Whisky is one of those things that you
have only got to turn and walk away
from! Seventeen years ago l said to
God, if you'll take care of the second
glass [ III take. care of the first, and God
has been faithful.
'People say I tell stories, but they
don t believe himl Listen, If l was
little fellow like you l could afford to tell
lies, but l can't; I'd be caught. If
you We no religion you ought to have
sense enough to tell the truth.
Repentance, repentancel If we re-
pent God is faithful aud just to forgive
us our sins. Did you ever iujure Ii man
and then go to him frankly and confess
your fault that he didn't forgive you?
Then how much more Will God for
give? And then he will cleanse us
from all unrigbteousness. There is the
but We need the cleansing blood of Jesus.
Listen, all man needs to 90 is to hunt
up a text and get onto it. l once asked
as many as believed they were saved to
rise, and among the others young man
got up and said: i haven { had any OF
those feelings you hear about
but God has said that he who
cometh to Me 1 will in nowise
cast out, and believe him and get up.
That's what I call faith. If | confess,
God will forgive me. He has said 90,
and that if the best reason in the world.
If l could only get you to see how easy it
is to get God $ blessings. If you want to
get religion, or religion to get you, just
take the step. I wish l could get some
Of you fathers and mothers to take the
lead. Just remember if you repent He
Is faithful and just to forgive us our sins
and will cleanse our hearts from all un-
righteousness. -
Rev. Mr.. Jones said he wished he
could have preached a better sermon,
but his talk and exhortation had the
effect of filing his anxious seats fuller
than they had been before. Measured
by that his talk was success.
