you think there are no murderers here

In the morning drunk. when he knows
his mother is waiting for him untll ne
fin ally kills her from srief. he is The
most contemplate of murderers. young
man who viii so into those cursed
brcthels. or into club with q bar and
drink and play cards when ne knows
his parents are anxi0usly waiting for
him at home. he is q murderer
THE man who viii leave a pure home
and loving mother for frivolous as
sociates he has no heart.
MY friends. the sin OF adultery is awful,
IL Is the short way 10 hell How many
OF you have ruined some ones sister? If
adulterers were shot, how many OF you |
would have TO die tonight My friends |
what We want is a revival Of righteous
ness Young men. if you were weighed |
on this question how many of YOU would |
be found wanting
Thou shalt not bear false witness
Thou shalt not covet
My friends. some people think they
can break one commandment and not
the rest, That is impossible; If you
break one, you break all. There Is no
such Thing as pulling one brick out of
1 house without causing a flow TO the
hole. My friends" said Mr.. Moody. in
losing. with Christ / would shout with
oy to be weighed in the scales tonight.
