Judgment" was the subject of DR..
Torrey last night before a large con-
gregation at the tabernacle.
Yesterday DR.. Torrey suffered from
the cold with which he has been af-
flicted and also from an attack of rheG-
matism, which made it difficult for him
to stand. notwithstanding these dif-
ficulties he preached an eloquent SER
mon.
DR.. Torrey selected his text from
Acts II, 30-31. He divided his address
into five parts-certainty of judgment.
the universally of judgment, the basis
of Judgment the administration Of
judgment and the issues of the judg-
ment day. He said in part:
God hath appointed a day of judg-
ment for the world. That is absolutely
certain. Wicked men will laugh at
that, and wicked men laughed at
Noah's pediction of the flood. but in
spite of ridicule it came to pass. Men
in Lots day laughed at the visitation
Of fire, but today the walls of that
city of the past lie buried beneah the
waters of the Dead sea.
"All of Gods predictions of judg-
ments against nations of the earth have
come to pass. If we are to judge the
future by the past, and there is no
safer way, all of Gods predictions will
come true in spite of the false hopes
of the day. 1t is absolutely certain
that there viii be a judgment day, and
the risen Christ will be the judge.
God will judge all people in right
eousness. 1t will not be a class judg-
ment, either the rich or the poor, but
from the king on his throne to the OBJ
scure nobody Men. you can escape
my preaching, but you can't escape the
judgment day. You will have to stay
until the case is tried. At that meet
ing will be the infidels, rumsellers, hyp-
ocritical church members with Christ
at the judgment bar. wish we could
get all the gamblers into this meeting,
but they will all be there 1 wish that
we could get all the hypocritical church
members in Los Angeles into this tab
ernacle." cat this juncture a voice from
the audience said that the tabernacle
would not hold them).
VIII Judge Deeds of Body
"The basis of the judgment will be
the deeds done in the body" continued
DR.. Torrey. You will have to answer
to deeds this side of the grave. You
men who have lived lives of friyolity
and foolishness; you business men VINO
have made money your god; you lib
ertines, scattering ruin and sorrow, will
have to answer for your deeds in the
judgment day.
1.-THE thoughts of the heart will be up
for special judgment. You who boast
of your morality, how would you like
to have a >screen right here behind me
on which would be thrown every
thought for the past twenty-four
hours? In the judgment day every
thought, not of day and a night. but
of your life, will be shown. Idle words
unprecedented speech is the best in
dex to the character. A studied speech
shows the kind of character a man
would like to have, but his unpremedi-
tated speech shows the kind of man
he is. Idle words will come up in the
judgment day.
IF you reject Jesus Christ you re-
ject incarnate love and holiness-God.
Tell me what a man does with Christ
and L will tell you what kind of a man
he is. The issues of the judgment day
will be eternal, either eternal life or
eternal death. Repent and come to
the ord-Repent."
This noon DIR. Torrey will speak at
the Los Angeles theater from 1905 until
1880 o'clock on 1.-TWO More Reasons
Why L Believe the Bible to Be True"
This afternoon at $3.50 o'clock he will
deliver the last of his addresses on
Prayer in the tabernacle, and this
evening the topic will be "Hell-Its
Certainty and What Sort of a Place
1t Is"
Prayer Is the Theme
"How should we pray? So simply
that child can understand us.
''True prayer Isl not by big sound
ing words with the name of God mere
ly hitched on to the end"
These were expressions made by DR..
r. A. Torrey yesterday afternoon at
the meeting at the tabernacle. His
subject was Prayer" He said in
part:
"Our Lord Jesus Christ has made a
promise that whatsoever we ask in
faith believing, we shall receive.
ut is said that anyone can pray with
good results. 1t is not so, God does
not make a business of answering
the prayers of unbelievers, and yet in
a few instances 1 think he does an
swer the prayers of persons before
their conversion.
In pleading in prayer. one should
be on praying ground, If any MEM
