The telephone and klnetograph, are
recent inventions that have come into
use since the telegraph. Bible refer
ences to electricity show that there were
lightnings and thunders Oh Mount Sinai
when God gave the ten commandments
to Israel in centuries gone by.
A verso in Job reads: "Canst
thou send lightnings that they may 60
and say unto thee, here we are" A
verse in Psalms reads "His light
nings enlightened the world the earth
saw and trembled."
Let man within few seconds speak
to another II miles away by telephone
or kinetograph, and all can say it is
truth, fact. But let him attempt with
in few seconds to speak to another II
miles away without telephone or kline
togrsph, &C., and every person will say,
it cannot be done, since it cannot ss is
we'll known. Man is sinful, and so much
SO that the Bible declares: bis righteous
ness to be as filthy rags There is none
righteous, no not one, ""sll have sined;"
"if we say we have no sin we deceive
ourselves and the truth Is not in u.s."
Christ says: There is none good save
one which is God" The Bible fur
ther teaches. That every sin deserves
punishment Of God in the present world
and in the future.
For example s'The wicked shall be
turned into hell and oil the nations that
forget God TX Psalm, 18th verse. In
stances of the punishment Of sin in this
life are found in various places in
the Bible. King David, King Solomon
and the lst king of Israel, Saul were
all punished for it in this world.
What shall people do facing the re-
alities of their own unrighteousness and
the possibilities of Divine punishment.
An answer is like tho telephone and
klnetegraph are ways to carry the short
travelling of itself human voice or COM
psrativsly weak and unequal voice
successfully for many miles, SO
Christ Gods appointed way, is
the way who does redeem and save
believers among sinful and unrighteous
man, on account of unrighteousness to
unequal to reach heaven of themselves
even like their voices are to unequal
and weak to travel 20, 25 and SO miles
and more and be heard within q few
seconds without q telephone, kineto-
graph, go.
Believers 5y the blood of j esus being
oleansed from unrighteousness that
would make them unequal to the favor of
God and salvation like it does the uube-
levers, become able to obtain the favor
and salvation Of God by the power and
merits Of Jesus, like the unequal voice
that cannot Of itself travel IS miles yet
when applied to the telephone or
kinetograph by the power and merits of
these can travel the IS miles.
The telephone 10 one of the great factors
among the inventions of modern civiliza-
tion and is used principally by the Christ
ianized portion of the Csucsssion race, al
most throughout the width and breadth of
three great continents, namely North
America, South America and Eurors.
In time undoubtedly It win spread over
creator expsnses according to the increase
-,
1t il used IN the daily and weekly
newspapers printing establishments and
business FIRMS Of cities, which make con-
nection with less populous enters by means
of it. II Is an invention that can carry tho
human voice 20 or moro miles in the short
time Of q second or two.
II aids tho voice to distant points
much moro effectively than the rail-
road, camel or horse aid the traveller.
Let man in Now York, desiring to COM
municate within few seconds by means of

requests AMI orders are hoard BY tho Phil
adelphla firm. Whyl Because of applica-
tion to proper way to carry the voice.
Let people apply in faith TO Christ a. the
Now York man to the wire and they will bo

the proper way to be hoard by Him.
Suppose line of telephone wire. Let
man in Boston, desiring to communicate

applies to the telephone a way that could
make him hoard so great a distance in SO
short time He would be heard quickly
on account of application to proper way
for the speediest carrying OF voice from one
point to distant points. Also let tho Bos-
tonians and others, desiring to be heard by
God, be saved by him, and brought into
his favor, apply also in faith to Jesus, and
they will thereby be heard by God and ac-
quilted, on account of their application TO
