He has come out of the KINGDOM
OF MECHANICS; he has entered

A man has been living in the black
machine shop of his lower nature
living in the darkness of sin; living
for himself and for this world alone.
There comes into his heart desire to
leave it all and to become Chris
tian. And he stops; he says. "I'm
not satisfied with this kind of a life I
am living. l want to be out in the
open sunshine of Gods love. where
the flowers of love and purity bloom ;
where the birds of joy and gladness fill
the air with their song; where there
is the hope and the fruitfulness and
the liberty that God gives His own"
And he bows down before God, and he
says, s'Lord God Almighty. / have
not been living the right kind Of life.

no price bring, Simply to Thy Cross
I cling. I take Thee now to be my
Redeemer and my God. Oh! forgive
me. and by the help of Thy grace I
will live the Christian life and walk
in the Christian way That moment
that man is converted; that moment
he passes out of the kingdom of his
lower nature into the Kingdom Of
God that moment he begins to be a
Christian.
Some of you have taken q stand for
Christ. There came desire to be a
Christian. That desire was Gods
voice to you. You acted on that de-
sire. You entered into the kingdom.
Live according to all those desires
after Cody life that comes to YOU.
That is obeying Gods voice, and be-
ing q Christian and walking in the
Christian way. The end Of II is eter-
nal life in the city that hath founda-
tions. whose maker and builder 10

Some Of you have never decided for
Christ. Do you have desire to be q
Christian? Will you act according
to that desire? You will enter into
