and then turn deaf ear to The az sAa,

and then turn deaf ear to the cry shat
comes up from the breakers?
But" you say, ''there are so many
things have to believe and 80 many things
In the shape of creed that I have to
adopt, that / am kept back" No; no!
You need believe but two things; namely,
that Jesus Christ came into the world to
| save sinners and that you are one of them.
"But," you say ~ do believe both OF
those thingsp Do you, really, believe
them with all your heart? yea" Why,
then, you have passed from death unto life.
Why, then, you are son or daughter OF
the Lord Almighty. Why, then, you are
an heir or an heiress of an inheritance
that will declare dividends from now
until long after the stars are
dead. Hallelujah! Prince of God, why
do you not come and take your coronets
Princess Of the Lord Almighty, why do
you not mount your throne? Pass up into
the light. Your boat is anchored, why do
you not go ashore? Just plant your feet
hard down and you will feel under them
the Rock Of Ages. challenge the uni.
verse for one instance in which q man In
the right spirit appealed for the salvation
Of the gospel and did not get it. Man
alive! Are you going to let all the years
your having this great peace, this glorious
hope, this bright expectancy? Are you
going to let the pearl of great price lie in
the dust at your feet because you are too
indolent or too proud to stoop down and
pick it up? Win you wear the chain Of
evil habit when near by you is the hammer
that could with one stroke snap the
shackle? Will you stay in the prison of
sin when here is Gospel key that could
unlock your incarceration? No; no! As
the one word, Come" has sometimes
brought many souls to Christ, l will try

avalanche Of power many Of these
Gospel Comes" "Come thou and
all thy house into ark" "Come unto me
all We who labor and are heavy laden and
l will give you rests' "Come, for all things
are now ready" Come with us and we
will do you good;" ''Come and see;" "The
Spirit and the Bride say Come and let
him that heareth say come and let him
that is athirst come" The stroke of one
bell in tower may be sweet, but score
of bells well tuned and rightly lifted and
skillfully swung In one great chime fill the
heavens with music almost celestial. And
no one who has heard the mighty chimes
in the towers Of Amsterdam, or Client, or
Copenhagen, can forget them. Now II
seems to me that in this Sabbath hour all
heaven is Ginning, and the voices Of
departed friends and kindred ring down
the sky saying, Gomez The angels who
never fell bending from sapphire thror es,
are chanting Come" Yea all the towers
of heaven, tower of martyrs. tower of
prophets, tower of Apostles, tower of
evangelists, tower of the temple of the
Lord God and the Lamb, are Ginning
Come! Gomez Pardon for all, and peace
for all, and heaven for all who will come.
When Russia was in one of her great
wars, the suffering of the soldiers had
been long and bitter and they were wait
ing for the end Of the strife. One day O
messenger in great excitement ran among
the tents Of the army shouting, Peace!
Peacem The sentinel on guard asked,
who says 'Peace?'" And the sick SOL
der turned on his hospital mattress and
asked, ''Who says Peace?'" And all up
and down the encampment of the Rus
slams went the question, ''Who says
'Peacep" Then the messenger responded:
1.-The Car says 'Peacen" That was
enough. That meant going home. That
meant the war was over. No more
wounds and no more long marches. So
today, as one of the Lords messengers,
move through these great encampments
of souls and cry, peace between earth
and heaven! Peace between God and
man! Peace between your repenting soul
and pardoning Lord~ If you ask me
who says peace, 1 answer, Christ our
King declares it. My peace l give unto
youn Peace Of God that passeth all I'M
derstandingn Fvera sting Peace!"
