DR.. Murray made an eloquent exro-
sition Of the parable. In the course
Of his discourse he said: ''As man
lives, so he will die. Ii he lives with
out God, he will die without hope
Although he may be a millionaire here,
he will be pauper hereafter.
The preacher remarked that perhaps
the altar stood In the way to some who
did not relish getting down in the
straw, but be felt that 1t was better TO
get down in the straw now than to meet
eternal punishment hereafter. And he
was grateful to God that 30 years ago
he was converted while at an altar in
the straw. He ventured the prediction
that some would remember the camp
grounds at the day OF judgment. He had
never heard more fervent SERMONS than
! during the camp and he wanted the
unsayed to remember that they had
been duly warned, and that God still
he'd the door open for them to enter.
Again, DR.. Murray said, 81 don't
want you to believe Lazarus was saved
because he was poor. Poverty does not
make a Savior.
"lf Jesus Christ saves you, he must
save you before death. II there 10 any
forgiveness nfter death, have not read

ministers being seconded by numerous

one of the women workers announced
that there was man In the cungreea-
tion who mad not heen in church for IA
| years, who wanted TO come to the altar
but feared he would not become con
yerted at the time. Upon suggestion,
she offered prayer that he might be
brought to repentance. She also said
that q man sitting near the first ue-
clared that there were so many hyro-
critics, and she held that it was not Tor
him to think of hypocrItes but to think
OF himself, to keep his eye not on other
persons, but on Jesus.
