converted went to the minister and said,
81 am still jealous OF that man,
and do not know how to overcome it,"
"Well, / said, "if a man comes into your
store to buy goods, and you cannot sup
ply him, just send him over to your neigh
bor." Oh, he said he wouldn't like to do
that. "Well," / said, "you do Ii
and you will kill jealousy" He said
he would, and when customer
came into his store for goods which he
did not have, he would tell him TO go
across the street to his neighbors. And
by and by the other began to send his
customers over to this mans store. Give
1t up. You can'tjust fold your arms and say.
'Lord take ii out of me-" but just 60 and
work with Him; and that Is the way with
pride. My dear friends, we haven't much
to be proud OF. People have an idea that
It is just the wealthy, those
who have a good deal OF money, who
are proud. You go down here on some
OF the back streets, and you will find that
some OF the very poorest are as proud as
the richest In Providence. Ii is In the
heart, you know. People that haven't
any money are just as proud as those that
have 1t. We have got to crush 1t out. 1t
Is an enemy. You needn't be proud OF
your face, for there is not one OF you but
that after ten days in the grave the worms
would be eating your body. There Is
nothing to be proud of, is there? Let's
ask God to deliver US from pride.
haven't got time to take up these out
side enemies. Custom is an enemy.
Some one says: "I move in society where
they have wine parties. / know it is
rather dangerous thing because my son

where want to; perhaps my son hasn't
got the same power as have, and he may
go over the dam. But II is the custom in
the society where j move. Once i got
into place where had to get up and
leave. i was invited into home in the
old country, and they had late supper,
and there were seven kinds of liquor on
the table am ashamed to say they were
Christi n )ple. A deacon urged a young
lady to ak until her face flushed. /
got up from the table and went out, felt
that ii was no place for me. They con-
sidered me very rude. That was going
against custom; that was entering pro-
test against such an internal thing. Let's
go against custom.
1t may be that we have got to overcome
in business. Perhaps it is business morn
ing, noon and night, and Sundays too.
When man will drive like Jehu all the
week and like a snail on Sunday, isn't
there something wrong with him? So my
friends, that is the question for you and
me to settle. Shall we overcome the
world or shall the world overcome us? Now
look at yourself. Are you getting the
victory? Are you growing more even in
your disposition; are you getting mastery
over the world and the flesh; the lust of
the, eye; the lust Of the flesh; the pride of
the life?
just want to call your attention to the
eight overcomes in Revelation: "Te him
that ovcrcometh will l give to eat of the
tree Of life, which is in the midst of the
paradise OF God"
The second overcome-"He that over
cometh shall not be hurt of the second
DEATH" There is no second death for any
true believer. There will be no death for
us, but we are going to live on and on, we
are going to live on forever. | pity any
real'true Christian that is living under the
bondage of death. You may die, but you
are going to live beyond. You must put
of the Iiortal to put on immortality.
The third overcome:-''ro him that
overcometh will give to eat OF the hid
den mama, and will give him a white
ten, which no man knoweth save Him
that receiveth it," Every time we over
come some temptation we get strength to
overcome another. When Daniel over
came first, it gave him strength to over
come the next time. He went on sur
mounting until he stood victor in the
evening of life. Fourth: :-"He that ovsr-
cometh, and keepeth My works unto the
end, to him will give power over the ma
tions; and he shall rule them with rod
of iron; as the vessels of potter
shall they be broken to shivers; even as |
received my Father. And l will give him
the morning star. / honestly believe we
are down here in school, in training; and
IL we cannot overcome we are not tit for
Gods service. / don't know where the
kingdoms are, but il we are TO be kings
and priests we must have Kingdoms to
reign over. believe God is Just taking
men and women and training them. The
fifth overcoming: "He that overcometh,
tn . ne shall be clothed in white rain
me.. and / will not blot out his
name out of the Book of Life, but
/ will confess his name before
my Father and before his angels" He
that overcomes shall not be a stanger in
heaven. Do you suppose Jesus was
stranger in heaven? Was Daniel a stran-
ger there; was that hero OF faith, Joshua,
was he a stranger in heaven?
"Him that overcometh will / make
pillar in the temple of my God, and he
shall go no more out; and | will write
upon him the name of my God, and the
name of the city Of my God, which is New
Jerusalem, which cometh down out of
heaven from my God; and i will write
upon him my new name" Think of it.
God writing his name upon us. 81 will
write upon him the name of my God"
God looks down and says, 'That is My
