A ROUSING MEETING.
Bother Robson StIrs up the Natives With
a Powerful Sermon on HelI---The
Meeting Closes Friday.

Brotler Robson preached the ser
mon OF his life last night, and it's ef-
feet upon the people was wonderful.
He concluded his sermon on Hell he
had begun the night before, and in
the midst OF which he was interrupt
ed by the thunder storm, and at the
close of the discourse eighteen ac-
cepted Christ and at least 100 gave
the brother their hand to be prayed
for.
He selected for the scriptural basis
of his sermon the following texts:
''But he that believeth not shall be
damned. Mark xvi:l6.
"For the wages OF sin Is death. ~
Romans vi:23.
THE soul that sinneth il shall die. -
Eek. xviii:2O.
"Some men say they can't see the /
/ justice of God damning a man forev- /
er," said he, land every fellow that
says that is walking around with
plank on his shoulder to bridge him
over hell. Bob Ingersoll can't make
a political speech without building a
bridge between him and hell. God
could not be just without law for
the punishment OF wicked as well as
a law for rewarding the right"
At this point the prisoners in the
federal Jail near by the tabernacle
began to sing "An hail the power OF
Jesus name," and noticing il, Bro.
Robson said:
"Do you hear that singing? Do you
know where it is? What put those
men in there? Violation OF law. The
wages Of sin is death. Sin is viola
tion of law and want of conformity
10 il. Death don't mean a corpse
every time. IL means departure,
driven out. The day you sin against
this nation you shall depart. Those
men over there siuued-violatcd the
law-and were driven out of their
homes, from the presence of their
famili- }, and into jail. II you violate
Gods law nothing but eternal damna-
tion viii justify you, for you know it.
The word damned occurs in the New
Testament three times, and each
time it is mentioned IS punishment
for unbelief
= Suppose n number OF men in Tex
as should rebel against the laws Of
that state, and Governor Culberson
sends a man with commission with
the seal Of the state on il TO make n
covenant of peace with them. They
are told that the governor has sent
good news fOr.them. His instruction
is, if they will lay down their arms
and go home in peace, he viii give
them fun pardon and restore them
to citizenship. They turn their heads
and ride of. The spirit of treason il
so deeply engrafted in them they dc
not believe what the messenger SAYS
II they joI't believe what the mes
senger says they are damned foi
their treason. They are damned OF
account of their unbelief. They sal
= by their acts that Governor Culber
, son is a liar, and that the man VIII,
carried the message is n liar. com,
to YOU with good news with the sea
of heaven on il. ! offer you peac
and pardon, win YOU accept il;
- YOU don't you say God il a liar, ant
that /, as his messenger, am a liar
'It would be nicer to talk to yo
of flowers and crowns of blessings
but / can't be true to God and nc
tell the truth. II you were gOin
over Niagara falls and I could saw
YOU by warming you OF your danger
/ would be foolish to talk to you {
the birds and flowers on the banl
II may seem rough to talk to you (
hell, but it is for you / am talking
When the day Of judgment come
and the sun turns 10 darkness, an
the stars are falling, and the moo
is bleeding, you will then pray 4
the rocks to fall on you and Il
mountains TO open up and swallo
YOU. There will he a big pray,
meeting then, but il will be too lat
/ had rather pray here than to ha'
to pray then.
God has an angel with a diamoI
pea recording every oath you utt
and every bad deed you do, and I
the day OF final reckoning they W
be reckoned against you. Your u
lis not ended when your body dies;
would TO God it was with some
YOU. Every little boy you learned
swear WI influence two more, tn
viii influence four, that four eiSl
and that eight sixteen, and after y
have been dead ten thousand yea
your influence started when YOU We
here will be piling up on that soul
