''The religion of Mohammed has in it
a spirit OF hope. This Bible is book
that has awakened hope 1t is the wa
in which human hearts have been
brought into the light of hope | trust
after this service that it may shine a
little brighter.
Before you aud me and ali humanity
are things that have not seen. l feel that
l must do little battle for God against
people who misrepresent. Be patient
under injustice ard wrong for you will
i be paid " hen yOl reach heaven.
''rhere are those who accuse us of
fostering low class Of people Brother,
/ trample on that Christianity. We
cannot comment on the justice Of God
There is an absolute rightness TO be done
some dav. The Christian hope will get
more than absolute rightness IN the day
which is coming Ny text draws the
line plainly aud we cannot fail to under
stand it.
Il want to draw the line between
genuine and counterfeit religion
''Now in the first place genuine
Christian hope can be known by it's
nature Jesus Christ is the captain
under which you workingmen want to
enlist. If there is heavenly inspiring
hope it has kindled itself at the cross at
CalveIy. This hope of the Christian
finds its source is in Christ. There is a
divine humanity radiant in the skies,
sure and steadfast.
There has only been one spotless
man in this world of whom it has been
said that he was a refuge If any man
or woman has a hope Of standing on the
heavenly shore, you know what l mean
when / say we are striving after the
likeness Of the Lord Jesus Christ We
strive after the purity of heart and life
There is something wrong if we are in
'dulging in sin. The day is coming
when the earthly hope must fail. Is the
munger and thirst OF your soul to bI
pulel We must strive after mora
purity These meetings are for this
purpose.
