hope, because he who came 10 give deliv-
Z erance for sin would be dead But he is
not dead he is alive, able to do his re-
demptive work These two days, yester-
day and tomorrow, tell us two things
Yesterday says: Sin kills. We all know
| that. Sin means death to the body. Gods
laws are not 10 be broken with impunity.
There is no opportunity for serious dlt-
: terence of opinion The facts are writ
ten all about us We are not dependant
ON the Bible for testimony. our con-
ciences declare it; the experiences Of life
must be needed Sin kills. The lives of
| dissipation and lust are proof. The habits
Of vice and guilt are unmistakable in
their changes. Sin kills. Sin is filling
the world with sorrow and shame Sin
breaks up homes and destroys lives. Sin
leads the captives on into greater sin.
/ Sin Kills honor, honesty. Self-TespeCt,
right, hope. Sin separates from God.
makes the future dar34. and fills the soul
! with foreboding. Sin separates US from
the highest and best. God is the Great
, Searcher OF hearts. We can't deceive
him We may deceive others. but all
are open TO him. He knows if there is
anything aboard our lives that ought not
! TO be We carry too many contraband
goods; goods that destroy our good
lives TO redeem.
Message of Today.
This is tomorrow's message: Praise
him there is a tomorrow with its gIor-
J ious hope. An Easter morning with it's
promise and life. Christ is alive to make
us live. Then ] would to God that to-
morrow may mean life to each one. life
that is rich and blessed. and A blessing
to yourselves and to others. The Christ
came and lived again TO make us well.
May the Easter message of life come
with its highest meaning and fullest
promise 10 YOU every one.

Of real conditions, conditions that prob

sorrow that bears YOU down. Some of
YOU men may have some dark closet
ina your home and inside that closet
/ some skeleton. You hate TO open the
! door. 1t is your sorrow and trouble.
Il do not wonder that SO many seek
I a sUrCease Of their trouble i'm some of
| these places that line Main street I
4 do not wonder that they seek to drown
/ their woes But after all it is no per
maueut relief. II Is but surcease for
the moment"
