Uoo q very kOOu man. YOU d
not believe that the Bible was insured 4
dod, although you think there are som
very I'm things in 1t. You believe that m
Seriptural description Of Eden was only al
hiegory. There are fifty things that / be
heVe that you do not believe. INC vet yo,
are an accommodating man. Eyerybod,
that knows you says that Of you. II shoult
ASK you 70 do a kindness for me, or il an,
I one else should ask of you a kindness vol
4 would do It. Now, l have a kindnegs to asl
4 pf you to-day. 1t is something that will cost
. YOU mounting and will give me great delight
I want you by experiment to try the power Of
Cnrists religion. Ill should come to YOU,
Z bnd you were very sick, and doctors had
given You up and said there was no chance
lor you, and l should take out a bottle and
! say; Here Is a medicine that will cure YOU.
! y nss cured NIFTY people, n it will cure
n it, would say, tTWon't you take it to
pbhge met" well" you would say, Sit it's
my accommodation to you, I'll take It," NV
friend, will you be just as accommodating In
matters OF religion? There are some OF you
who have found o1t that this world cannot
satisfy your soul. You are like the man who
odd me one Sabbath after the service was
over; Il have tried this world and igund Ii
Al insufficient portion. Tell me OF some.
ihlng better You have come to that. You
are SICK for the need Of divine medicament.
NOW l come and tell you Of q physician
who will cure you, who has cured hundredI
and hundreds who were as sick az you are,
"Un,. you say, 81 lave no confidence Ia
Him." But will you not try Him? Accom-.
modate me in this matter; oblige me In this
matter; Just try Him. am very certain Ha
will cure you. You reply, "I have no Is.
pecial confidence in Him. but il Won All ma
as a. matter of accommodation INTRODUCED
him" SO l introduce Him-Christ. the
physician who has cured more blind ewes and /
nealed more CHASTITY wounds and bound up
more Droken hearts than all the doctors
since the time of Esculapius. That Divine |
Physician is here. Are You uot ready to try |
nimf VIII you not, as a pure matter of OK. |
pertinent, try Him and state your case he |
iore Him this hour? Hold nothing back |
rom Him. II You cannot pray, If you do
