body. but by and by 1t will show It
self The longer a man keeps at sin
the deeper he goes in 1t. The first sin
you committed. the first oath you ut
tered, you shrank from 1t. You let sin
go on and ON and the day of redemp-
ton is past for you, and what have
you got left but hell?
Doctrine VS.. Gods Word.
ION one side you have the doctrine
of some preachers, poets and lecturers
and writers. On the other side you
have Gods word and the words of
Jesus. 1 am preaching You the law.
There is no appeal. God Is the supreme
court.
Hell is a place Of bodily suffer-
ing. That is plain from the teachings
of the new testament. Gods definintion
of perdition is lake OF fire and brim-
stone where the sinners shall be tor
mented forever and ever. His definition
Of death for the sinner is a place in
that lake Of fire.
perhaps it is, but it expresses fact.
We use language which Is figurative
every day to express facts. So what
difference is it to you whether hell Is
of the literal fire, or whether God
used that term to express the terrible
torment of the lost world?
You're Fool to Go.
81 do not want to go to hell, and
you are a fool to want to go just to
find out If the fire is literal fire or not.
You say it is fgurative language. The
bible is full Of figurative language,
which describes facts. Back Of the Ian
guage there Is hell. and because You
say the words are figYrat1ve does not
change the fact that hell is still there.
"Hell is place Of remorse, of ter
rible memory. The man who lives for
the dollar alone will remember those
whom they robbed. The drunkard will
see the squalor and want of his home
The murderer. adulterer, the seducer.
will all remember their crimes. 1t will
all come back to them.
The Torture Of Memory.
"There is no torture like an accusing
memory No rest day or night always
accusing, always bringing back, al
ways reviving again the sins. Hell is
a place of remorse. Memory. like the
fanged hound of hell, will tear at your
heart.
Hell is the mad house Of the uni
verse, where sinners will sit and think,
think think. always think.
| Hell is a place Of tormenting de-
sires which can not be gratified. In
hell your desires will be aroused as
they never were before, but you can
not crafty them. The rich man cried
| to Abraham. to send some one to
moisten his lips as he was tormented
in hell.
| A Place Of vile Companions.
| "HeIl is a place of vile companions
Here on earth you choose whom you
will associate with, but the unbelievers
the murderer, the seducer. and all the
vile on earth, will have their place in
the lake of fire and birthstone.
| "Hell is a place without hope. Some
say that the word everlasting does
not apply to hell but only to heaven
If heaven Is everlasting so is hell Ev-
erybody knows that when the bible
says everlasting hell it means just thai

not find one ray OF hope for the sinner
Love Saves From He'll.
"Some people ask why preach a ssr'
! mon along tnat line? do it because
II can at the same time preach the low
OF God. When 1 preach the love OF
God, I am at the same time preaching
the doctrine of hell. 1t is the love tina
wants to save you from hell. If nj
could appreciate His love there wou.;
be no need OF preaching about he'll. L
you stand shielded and protected b.
| the redemption of Jesus Christ I ar
net afraid OF all the demons In hell.
God gees down into this and tina
place and transforms this and tina
man into a saint and makes them Fl
companions for all.
Tho Angels Visit.
'If an angel should come down from
glory to tell all of the love of God. an,
you went with him, he would go int,
the saloon. You would have to visi
with him the woman Of the red ligh
district. You would have to go an,
stand by the side of the burglar as h
drilled the safe. You would have d
follow the farmer thru the furroW
You would have to go to the factory
the shop, the office and the store Yo
would have to go to darkest Africa, t
the isles of Japan, you would have t
} go to the isles of the sea, where tn
} dark skinned mother rocks her babe t
; sleep to the lullaby of the lappin,
!; waves. To each and all you would hav
} to say thhat God wants ,tosave them.
God blazes from the sky that h
will save you from hell. What NOR
can he do? He does not want you t
go to hell. Away down thru tn
, depths of sin and lust God drops tn
, plummet line of the cross. God ca
reach down and touch him or her n
lmatter how deep he or she may be i
| sin. Heaven is for him who will reac
out and grasp it and be forgiven. A
lean escape hell who would.
