The man who bases his hopes for
in the hereafter on a
religion that confines itself to one
day out of the seven, will be lost
just the same as any other common
scoundrel, Holy living means
more than a Sunday face, but that's
all some people count on to get to
heaven IL is their only passport
and they expect st. Peter to accept
1t without a question. But he
won't. He isn't built that way.
They'll have to unmask. The ear
marks OF thievery and avarice must
be exposed. The old punch tough
ened like a piece OF the DEVILS own
tanbark with whiskey and gluttonly
must be turned out for inspection.
Holy living is the only way. st.
Peter doesn'tkeep any church reg
listers. His only book is a record
of "deeds done in the body" and
it covers every day in the week.
