+Mercy is boundless and frse."

FMercy is boundless and frse."
 
 The sinner that feels as if he or she is Just fit for hell ard that there is no hope fQf her is the one that is most likely to be saved, for God hates a proud spirit and whosoever exalts himself will be cast Y down.
 { Don't wait until you feel like becoming { Christian before you step out on the promise of God for you have to delib rate ly choose to be one or you will forever be sinner. The feeling will come after you have in faith taken God at His word and determined never to sin again as long as.you live.
 A-t Brother you must quit shining before you reach heaven. So, why not do it <.ynoW? A man who is a church member and commits sin is drawback to Gods cause, for he will get up and say that no man can live pure when the Bible says plainly that ''Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin. And he 2 cannot sin, because he Is born of God."- < I John, iii, 9. If you commit sin you are of. the 'devi1'' and not Of God. for The v that commiteth sin is of the devil, for the devil sinneth from the beginning."-1 John, iii, T.
 'In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood up saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink 7 He that believeth on Me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow r.vers of living water"-Jchn viii. 37-3S. In other words, if any man believe on Christ as the Scripture hath said. he will always be ready to tell someone of his Lord he will never have to be pumped to get a few eff Gods praises to running freely but he will overflow, and at all times you ~~ WiE hear or see him praisng Ged Why he just can't help it. He is full to run ming over and is not able to hold them in he just feels like saying glory, haleluja or praise the Lord every minute in the day. Of course if you have never been this way you cannot understand how man Will always talk about God But after all 1t is the only subject worth talking about Seek ye first the kingdom of God and He, is righteousness and all 1nese thing9 shall be added unto you.- Matthew vii, S.
 Brethren, if we want to do good work < we must make the devil mad me fghting mad at that. We are told to .,have no fellowship with the unfaithful works of { darkness but rather reprove them. !" Erhisians, V, ID That simply means that all people who call on the name of 6 the Good Jesus must step out fiat footed V upon the principles of the doctrine of Christ and dsnounce sin of every kind In the strongest language possible We are commanded 'To come out and be ye sep sarate and touch not the unclean thing" t Christians will not go hand in hand with sin and sinners flor God hath not called { us unto uncleanness but unto holiness" , .9Fifst Thessalonians, iv D Without holiness no man can see God, for ''whc so- ever :a born of God doth not commit sin [" and cry man that hath this hone in him purifieth himself, even as He (Christ) sA Is pure" As you read this don't think that 1t is me talking. I have used Gods word all through. God who cannot lie, saith The that committeth sin is of the oh soever that is of the devil cannot get into a. heaven. MALCOLM M. STEWART.
