guilt is a great salvation. Prof Free
man of Harvard university was tried
for murder. He was convicted, and
few days before the execution he
made complaint of the guards for
hooking him. He said he heard all
through the night some one uttering
the name of the man for whose MUIR
der he was tried. Investigation was
made, and it was discovered that the
guards did not utter his name; it was
the guilt of sin that spoke it. 1t was
conscience that uttered it. The an
clients in their pictures of the furies,
each one with a tongue of fire, were
giving us a picture of sins guilt. If
we realize how righteous God is and
then realize that we have sinned
against a holy God the sense of guilt
will really overwhelm us. Through
Jesus Christ we get rid of sin. The
greatest day of my life was the day
when l settled the sin question; the
day when | got vision Of Jesus
Christ as the Guilt-Bearer, and realized
that the guilt of sin was forever gone.
1t means salvation from sickness.
There is land where they never say,
Il am sick No disease ever enters
the gates of pearl, and in saving us
from the guilt, defilement and power
Of sin God saves us from sickness. Sal
walton from suffering. Salvation in
suffering often with the view to sal
walton from suffering. Christ was
made perfect through suffering. The
gold goes into the furnace that it may
not need the furnace. The vine
dresser uses the knife that the vine
may not need the knife. And God
may give us the experience of suffer
ing that we may become acquainted
with Christ in the fellowship of suffer
ing, and this suffering works out for
us far more exceeding and eternal
weight of glory" until the suffering
will have performed it's work and the
character that it makes will remain.
The furnace will then be out of sight
and only the gold will be seen. The
diamond will be off the wheel and IN
the Masters crown. Salvation from
sin, sickness and suffering is a great
salvation indeed.
The Greatest Good.
1t is salvation to the greatest good.
Holiness, health and happiness. They
balance each other-sin, sickness and
suffering over against holiness, health
and happiness. HE was made sin for
us who knew no sin that we might be
made the righteousness of God in

and when you settle the sin question
and the guilt of sin has passed from
you to Christ you have settled the
holiness question, too, for the holiness
Of Christ passes from him to you. We
give up our sins to him and he gives
his holiness unto u.s.
God saves us from sickness. Ours
is God the healer. Call it scientific
psychology, allopathy, homeopathy or
anything you please, but the Lord does
the work, and he may use remedies,
but he does the healing, and We praise
God and not the remedy. Let us dis
pense with all fads and fancies and
come down to simple faith in God as
the healer of the sick
Let me ask you question which no
being in this universe can answer.
How shall we escape if we neglect SO
great salvation?" Theologian, can you
tell me? Philosopher, can you tell me?
Holy Spirit, can you tell me? The
Holy Spirit, who is the spirit of wis
dom, has to reply for once, Il cannot
tell YOU" Lord Jesus, can you tell
me? He cannot. Lord God Almighty,
and speak it with reverence, can you
tell me, with all your wisdom, how 1
can escape if neglect so great a sal
walton? God himself for once is una
BILE to answer. Not an angel in
heaven, not God himself can answer
that question. How can l escape if /
neglect-not if / revile, not if I dis
pute, not if I fight against it, but if
neglect so great salvation? There is
no escape for time or eternity. I be-
seech you, do not neglect it longer.
