gun Some one represents swallow
flying To the sea shore getting grain
of sand and carrying II TO the oppos-
tie shore, taking a thousand years /
for the one trip. then he says when |
the swallow has carried every grain |
OF sand from the one shore to the |
other, taking thousand years for |
each grain We will then have only /
a faint conception of eternity Some |
man tries 10 get around this Idea aud |
saws God does not mean everlasting
punish ment' There will be some way |
of escape, he thinks. But the same |
word is used in reference TO the |
righteous as to the lost And these |
shall 20 away into everlasting pun |
ishment, but the righteous into eter- |
nal life
Passing from this life to the next |
life is not death That is over in a |
moment There is such a thing as
eternal dying Christ has taken fig |
ure of speech to describe this eter-
nal death You could take the bright
est minds of the world and let them |
try to put together words that would |
better express eternal death and they |
could not do It, Christ says hell Is a |
and the fire is not quenched.' This |
is the figure Christ uses to describe |
this death. Can you conceive of any |
figure that would make 1t stronger? !
II YOU have ever felt the remorse or
conscience in this life for one mo- |
ment then multiply this thousand |
fold and you will have some faint
Of no
big sinner before God will condemn |
him to hell. God don't condemn you
you are already under condemna-
ton. You are born under 1t. But COD
does provide way to escape THIS
condemnation. You go on and neglect
the plan of salvation God has proVl-
ded and you will wake up in hell.
Christ says, AS Moses lifted up the
serpent in the wilderness, even so
must the Son of man be lifted up:
That whosoever believeth in him
| should not perish but have eternal
! life Those who were bitten in the
| camp Of Israel, represent us today
under the condemnation OF sin. A
man might then lay in his tent ana
refuse to look and live, when ne
knew the poison was in his system
So we today can refuse to accept
Christ and live when we know we
are under the condemnation. How
shall we escape if we neglect so
great salvation? Every one not IN
Christ is under condemnation. VIC
tor Hugo has beautifully described
how Cain tried to get away from
the all seeing eye of God. He repre-
sents Cain as fleeing to the ocean
where he said let me rest here, put
as he looked up into the heavens ne
turned pale for there was the all
seeing eve of God. His children putt
for him a tent and yet the all-seelnS
eve of God pierced through the tent.
Then they built for him an iron wall
but through that God could see.
Then they built tomb and put GAIN
i'm il but the eye of God was over
that. You can't go away from the all
seeing eve of God. If we accept sal
vation we shall be with God ana our
loved ones around the great whlte
throne. If YOU reject it YOU snail go
down to hell. DO you want life eter-
nal? Come and confess YOU are a SIN
upr and accept Jesus. God wants 10
