to a gathering of men that nearly nlieo
Convention Hall, and last evening TO an
audience that taxed the capacity OF the
great auditorium.

great white throne. I did all could 10
save you. but you wouldn't let me. :
THOSE were the closing words OF the
evangelist's sermon last night.
"Not Saved" His Subject.
No, saved, was the subject of his
sermon words from the twentieth verse

You will want, not those words, but oth-

Those who are under the blood, a Bible
term: those who have been 'begotten

ginsy tent where there isn't Bible.
You were carried to church In your
mothers arms the minister took you IN
his hands and dedicated you to Gods
service.
You can't plead ignorance. You have
literally taken the opportunity and thrown
i, back as an insult to the deity. You
have had your chance and still are not
saved.
..will YOU think of your Sundays?
Think of the sermons you have heard.

and broken the heart OF the Son OF God
over YOU and still you are not saved.
Time for Repentance.
"Ninevah. a city of 600 900 people. heard
one sermon and repented. You've heard
a thousand sermons. And where's your
repentance? Where's your kingdom Of
righteousness?
You have had the opportunity. the
conviction. the desire. God has done all
In the power of His love possible In the
economy OF His kingdom to save you.
Rut YOU are not saved yet.
You know the reason. You are not
saved because OF some particular sin.
some particular Indulgence. though II
may be God-dishonoring. You'll never
be saved until You give that up.
Not saved and your chances for being
saved are passing. When the benediction
of this meeting is said. you will have less
chance When this evangelist Is sent
forth from your midst It means that
somebody here will never hear another
evangelist speak.
somebody is near his end of grace
The chances are passing. Get ready.
Your chances are passing.
This may be my last service. 1t may
be my turn next or your turn next. Are
you ready?
