DR.. Pearson breaches Practical Ser
mon to Sinners.
The crowd at Wesley Monumental church
last night was bigger than the church
would hold aud overf owed into the vesti-
bule, and many stood outside under the wins
doEs and listened. The singing was led by
Prof. w. n. Smith.
Dr.. Pearson's subiscs was 'Comlng Unto
Jesus" John w., 81, Him that oometh 70 me
l will In no wise cast out.n
Come is a precious word, running all
through the Bible. It is not enough 70 want
TO go to heaven, but q man must come"
Seven questions must be put In every i'm
peuitent heart and answered out Of Gods
word three times. The lrst is, MAY
come to Jesusi" A vile. lascivious,msn says,
Tell me, preacher, or does God say that
may come to Jesus!
Hear God :" say, ''Ho, every one that
thirsteth let him Gomez Again Jesus re-
Piled, II any man thirst let him come. So
in Revelation the spirit and the bride say,
come Christ died for man, sin cursed.
"But il one here" added DIR. Pearson, who
descended from the monkeys, the invitation
IL not TO him, but dear dying sinner, the
fault lies at your door, IL you do not come.
The second question is, Why should I
GOMEZ John XIV, 8. Jesus says am the
way, the truth and the life. No man
oometh unto the Father except through me-
Take Jesus out Of the Bible and man knows
nothing Of the way TO God. The idea of
repudiating Christ is baptized infidelity and
theological bosh. There is no other name
under heaven given among men whereby
we can be saved. So says God, and the
Bible puts it Jesus Christ or hell He lie the
all-sutticient way, able to save from all
intquity, and evermore. He is an eternal
nigh priest, able to save every sinner with

The third question is, When should I
come to Jesusi Luke xiv, II: All things
are ready, and now; God says to-day; the
devil says tomorrow. The devil summoned
a conclave In hell and asked what is the best
way to delude menl one said preach that
there is no God. The devil said, Sit down;
people OF Savannah are not fools enough to
believe that.
Another said: "Tell men the Bible is a
ie." The devil said, ''Sit down" Another
said: There is no hell" 'Sit down." said
the devil, mo man with a thimbleful of
brains will believe that II there Is not.
there ought to be. as you know. If il please
your satanic majesty, preach that there Is
God, salvation In Christ and a true Bible.
But there is no need to be In a hurry. To-
morrow will be time enough. Says the
devil, THAT will do and will peopls hell"
DR.. Pearson gave thrilling illustrations
from his own ministry OF the fatal result Of
saying tomorrow.
The next question is "How should come

There must be radical change OF mind,
aud the wicked must forsake his way, and
further the sinner must come believing In
Christ.
The next question IS: "Why have not
