Many Kinds Of Sinners.

'Who is the sinner? Well there are
many kinds. There is the drinking
sinner, the licentious sinner, the COW
etous sinner. the miserable sinner and
the respectable sinner. The trouble is
people become so familiar with their
sins that they cease to seem heinous
to them and do not stand out SO prom
inently to them as the sins of other
people. And they draw comfort from
the remark, am not so bad as SO and
so. The sinner is not hypocrite like
the moralist.
"Or you may be standing in the way
Of sinners, If you are hindering sim
ners from coming to Christ. If you are
a church member and are taking a
glass occasionally you belong to this
class. People know you. You are not
fooling anybody by your inconsistency.
Be not deceived. God is not Knocked.
Or Ii you are backslider you are
standing in the way of sinners. They
point at you and say look at so-and-so.
They use you for cudgel for the
devil If you are backslider, do not
be the devils sudgel any longer.
The scoffer.
Those Wro Stitch in the seat Of the
scornful, includes those who are skep-
teal and those who make jests about
religion. Have reverence for the
house Of God and the ministers.
"The Christian is the happy man.
Religion is happy thing. If you are
Christian be happy. Do not look at
things and let people see you. through
a smoked glass. Let your hearts be
filled with gladness. The Christian is
not afraid to die, but that is his calm
est and most peaceful time"
