The Telephone, &c, are re-
cent inventions that have come
into use since the telegraph. Bible
references show that there we're light
nings and thunders in the clouds when
God gave the ten commandments to
Israel in centuries past. Another Bible
reference to lightning says: "His light.

Job 1895.
People can speak or sing when twenty
i've and thirty miles and upwards distant
and separated from others and be heard by
them distinctly while before the invention
OF the telephone, &c, a voice OF speaker or
singer could not be hsard by Zothers more
than seven or eight hundred yards apar:
and be understood. Therefore let a person
or company of tncm speak or sing so tn lat

every day. But let them attempt to do
either without the telephone, kiIetograph,

might hear their voices, and everyone will
say II cannot be since it is an impossibilIty.
Man is sinful and SO much so that
the Bile declares: sail our righteous. J..
ness are as filthy rags 'for all have
sinned and come short of the glory of
Cod" "if we [ChristiansI say we have
no sin we deceive ourselves and the
truth is not in u.s." Christ says, "thsre
Is none good save one which is God" 3"
The Bible further teaches, that every
sin deserves punishment OF God IN the
present world and the future.
Punishment in this lifo is proven in
few Of many instances thus: "Visit-
ing the iliquity Of the fathers upon the
children unto the third and fourth gen
era;ions of them that hate me" for the
sin of murmeriDg thousands OF Israel =.

they that sin to-day sLall smart for it

"the wicked shall be east into hell;r
aud Sin he'll be lifted up his eyes"
What shall people do facing such
realities of their righteousness and
the possibilities of everlasting punish
ment. How shall they escape bel! at
death. \ solution is like the telephone
and hIntograph, &c, are ways to car
ry the short distance travelling voice

equal voice successfully for miles and

is the way who does redeem and save

even like their voices are to unequal

favor and salvation. by the power
and merits of Jesus ike the unequal

Use the telephone, &C., if you de-
sire your unequal voice to be
heard one hundred miles, and ,sy hold
IN Christ if you desire :C be heard iu
the great Court Of heaven and acquit-
ted. The telephone, &c, have the
power 10 convey mans voice a thou

nents he is able only to make his
voice heard short distance. Christ
although it seems as mysterious as the
&c., can make the cause of
sinners heard and accepted at the
throne of God in order that they should
ind salvation.
Let people use the telephone, &C.,
indsin all probability they will be
heard by others, Again let them ap.
ply 10 Christ, believe in him, have re-
course to him, and they will be heard
by the Lord.
