to God the things that are Gods.
We can tell where money belongs
by the image and superscription
upon it, and it takes botlfT The
image and superscription to make
it money. Gold and silver are
precious metals when dug from
the earth but not acceptable
money until the image and name
of some government is placed on
them. One is as essential as the
other for the image of the United
States on gold don't make money
of it neither does the superscrip-
ton make money, unless the i'm
age is with it. | am told that
Mexican dollar has more pure
silver than one of ours and yet
ours is worth about twice as
much. Why this difference?
Simply in the image and super
scription of the United States.
Now to apply this to men. To
be achristian indeed | must have
the image of Gods son stamped
upon me and must also have his
name. The proper material must
not be left out for name is worth
less unless the right material is
also with it. For a child of God
the right material is one born of
water and the spirit, (Jno. 3:5)
but he must also have the right
name on him. would be afraid
t. go into Gods presence wear
ing Campbell's name for God
would say, render unto Campbell
his own; and it is also true of
any other name. But some one
says, What's in a name? There
is in every name what the sur
rounding conditions and circum-
stances put in it. Is there any
thing in the name of Washington,
Lee, Grant and jackson? But if
there is nothing in a name why
wear one wholly unknown to the
Bible when God gave us one to
wear? An old woman in ecstacy
shouted, "Glory unto Belize
bub!" her preacher said, 'Sister,
Beelzebub is the devil" "Well,
she said, "there's nothing in a
name and | knew it was one of
the old patriarch's. Glory unto
Beelzebubp Was she right? II
there is nothing in name, she
was, but there is something in a
name. "Christ name is above
every name-Then is salvation il
no other-The name of the LORD
is strong tower; the righteous
run into it and are safe"
The objector says, would cal
you Christians but you want a
! monopoly of the name. No, no,
friends, we are pleading with
you to use such a priceless heri-
tage. 1t is big enough for all
Then do not turn from or substi.
tute for the name angels love tc
speak the name of some man OF
common day. Oh! but if | cal
you a christian then l will un
christianize everybody else. You
will admit | am one, then if
am how can it hurt you to cal
me one, and it will not unchris
tian you unless you are not one
but to call me one when | am on,
isno more than your duty. Whe1
you say you are a gentleman, de
YOU by that say you are the onl,
gentleman? Certainly not, you
} only affirm that you are one 81
it is with me when l say | am
christian, | do not say you ar
not one. Christ said of SOM
people while he was here, tina
they would not go into the king
, dom nor permit those who woul,
go in to 60, and the same is tru
!, of the name christian; some will
not wear it unless they put SUI
fix or affix to it and will not lie
those who would wear it do so
Some one says, We are all chris
, tians, we are one kind and 20
are another. l reply by sayin
God does not want "kinds G
christians" but christians only
