MOST FEARFUL DISEASE.
A MALADY WORSE THAN SMALL
POX OR CHOLERA.
It is Doing its Deadly Work in Wins

pie to the Only Remedy for the
Dfsease-The Drug Stores.

Disease-The Drug Stores.
Notwithstanding the threatening
weather Monday night, tremen-
dous audience gathered to hear Sam
Jones, who selected his text from
Proverbs xi:19: GAS Righteousness
tendeth to life, so he that pursueth
evil, pursueth it to his own DEATH"
When good man dies and goes to
heaven, he is not only drawn thither
by the natural forces of gravity, but
he goes to heaven by common consent.
When bad man dies and goes to hell
he goes there by common consent.
Just as good man has the life that
now is and the life to come, SO the
way of the transgressor is hard, and
the soul that sinneth shall die.
The most fearful disease that ever
touched man is sin. 1t is disease of
him that the world is diseased.
Scenes around US prove this. Men
are dying every day from a worse
disease than small pox or cholera.
The disease is doing its work in this
town. just as certain as the virus of
cancer kills the body, just as certain
will the virus of sin kill the soul at
last. Is there no remedy? Thank
God there is. There is Great Ply
Many poor fellow is almost dead
| before he realizes that he is sick at
all. Sin, like gangrene, is doing it's
work. II you could see how sin has
eaten your character, it would make
you cry to God in despair.
He that pursueth evil stabs his
| conscience until conscience is dead
Members Of the church run into sin
| and folly and stab their conscience.
GIVES 1T TO DRUG STORES.
Sam turned his guns upon the drug
on Sunday. You pull a niger for
selling liquor, and yet a druggist can
throw open his store on Sunday and
sell it and debauch the boys and no
druggist has been arrested. There is
no excuse in heaven or hell for a
druggist to sell liquor. When you
vote whiskey out of the town, if you
don't mind it will be a dirty, lousy
druggist that will give you the most
trouble. Let's clean up the whole
business.
A little red nOsed Doctor that will
prescribe whiskey for a boy ought to
have been in hell before he got his
license.
Any druggist that hasn't sold
whiSkey on Sunday will say Sam Jones
never shot in a mile of him, but if he
has been selling he'll say Sam Jones is
lying.
A vote was taken on closing drug
stores and warehouses on Sunday,
and vast number arose to their
feet
He never run boycott on anything
but the devil, but if he was these peo-
pie and the druggists didn't listen at
this request, he'd go to the other
fellow.

be only for prescriptions, with your
cigar case and soda fountain shut
up.
He had but one purpose. Oh, Lord
God, come on this town and dig its
conscience out of the grave where
they have laid it.
AIMS AT THE CLUB AGAIN.
Sam lit into the Club again and
asked all that would say to the Club
they wished it would disband to stand
up. A large number arose. The
negative side Of the question was
then put without a response. Sam
said one fellow got up little. but he
got down. Dsband, boys. I'd try
stick awhile instead Of a club. Ain'G
no good in it. AS nice men as are n
town in it, but he didn't believe there
was spirited minded man in it. lie
asked the gentlemen themselves if
they had a member who would lead in
prayer and they said if they did they
didn't know it.
We stab conscience to death and
have no regard for these things be-
cause conscience is dead.
THE SLABS OF SIN.
Sin not only stabs the conscience,
but every sin is stab at the intellect,
SO the mind will not take hold on
truth. Stab at the brain power.
Sin stabs the power of resistance.
The greatest power is the will power.
The next greatest is the won't power.
Every sin is tampering with the brake
power. Safety for both worlds de-
Ponds upon the brakes. Pointed
illustrations of these were used.
Blockade the road to hell and put on
the brakes tonight.
Pursueth evil to the death of the
soul. Don't know what this means.
Know what temporal death is. 1t
is the most cruel thing ever seen.
Eternal death is to die on and on
forever. Don't know what eternal
death Is. BY the eternal Grace of
God he don't intend to know. God
pity the man who will test it for
himself
The preacher gave vivid descrip-
tion of the reptile Of eternal death as
