LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE
Evangelist Weber breaches at
the Mountain View.
JESUS AS THE SAVIOR
Salvation Represented by Light-Every-
body Is Anxious to Shine-Men Do
Not Want to Be Angels as
Long as They Can Live.

Evangelist Weber held two large and
enthusiastic meetings at Mountain
View NJ. e. church yesterday. AT last
evenings meeting he took for his sub
ject Let your light shine" and said:
If you take this dear old book and
examine it from the gospel of Genesis
TO the gospel of Revelations, you VIII
find that salvation is represented by a
light. When | stood on the parapet at
old Jerusalem and looked over that
valley of the shepherds, ! imagined 1
could see the angels as they came down
with their shining wings, dipped IN the
angelic light of heaven, and sang the
sweetest song that the world has ever
heard: Glory to God in the highest,
peace on earth, good will toward men.
For unto you this day is born, IN the
city of David, Savior. Now savior
is one that saves. You may be saw
ior. and l may be savior. But Jesus
is the Savior of both booy and soul.
You or | might save the body, but
Jesus can save both. Jesus said i am
the light of the world, and then turns
around to you and says Ye are the
light OF the world Now then, IL l am
the light of the world, i must let my
light shine, so that men may see my
good works and glorify my Father
which is in heaven
HOW ANXIOUS are we W Sliliit III tliiS
world See that lady there, she spent
more time arranging her hair and her
dress than she did trying to get the
shine that Jesus gives. This choir here
wants 10 shine, and they want me to
say they are the best singers in this
country, but | shan't say it, as 1T
wouldn't be the truth. There is Broth
er Lounsbury, he would like the bish-
Cd TO say he is the best preacher in
;.,,fy ali
would like them TO say l am the best
evangelist, but that would be untrue
also There is a woman who has a fine
plant What does she do? She sets it
in the window, so that everybody may
see what beautiful plant she has
She wants the people to stop as they
pass by and say, Isn't that lovelyg
we are so anxious TO shine in this
world and men often sing, L want to
! be an angel, but as long as we can
make a living at anything else, we do
| not want to be. Let your light shine.
! Don't force it, You can't force Christ
! ian light If the light is in you 1t Will
! shine out There is that professor OF
| religion He wants to shine in this
world and in worldly things, but in re-
! ligion, don't seem to care. Don't nave
family prayers, don't ask blessing at
| the table nor prayer meeting or read
I
! first class sinner for God? So many
/ people work so little at their religion.
We turn and scrape every stone to get
money so as to Shine in this world;
but how many of you make sacriflces
for God, and are anxious that our souls
shall be so pure white that we can show
1 to the world that we have been with
| Christ and learned of him?
THE world is watching us. If they
] aCilV nrON0kpd and are
niggardly and stingy with our worldly
possessions, they will say, That man
isn't working much at his religion.
I'VE get all we work for in religion
like everything else. Love much, get
much. Love little, get little.
I'VE know the three Christian graces
are faith, hope and charity, but the
disgraces are too numerous to men
ton. Spurgeon tells when he was
boy they used to charge tax on win
dow glass Think of selling the sun
light If YOU paid much YOU had muci
light So in the Christian religion, We
get all we pay for God wants every
Christian to be light-bearer. ana Is
trying by his love and mercy to MAKE
us walk IN the light as He is in tn
light. then the blood of Jesus Christ
our Lord, will cleanse us from all SIN.
If the light that was lit in you be dark
ness. oh. how terrible must be ina
darkness. There is progression ant
light in this world, and so there is pro
eression in the Christian way
