What Shall /
Do With Jesus :

CONTINUED From Fifth Page.)
We have got you beat. we have got
you beat.
What will you do?" will tell you
if you will accept Jesus, God will
accept you. If you don't he will turn
you down.
The vilest sinner here tonight, IL you
will accept Jesus, God will instantly
accept you. The best man and woman
in, town, ii they reject Jesus, God
will reject them.
Gold Scales.
In the bank of England is ma
chine of marvellous mechanism-used
for weighing gold sovereigns. They
don't take gold for face value in Eng
land, but weigh it. All moneys that
pass thru the bank are weighed.
They have machine that never varies
millionth part of any ounce. They
keep it in a glass case and man sits
there and drops the gold sovereigns
in thru a hopper and they slide
down platform and if of full stand
ard weight the machine tips them to
the right, and If short to the left 1t
never varies.
Closer Scrutiny.
Marvellous as Is the mechanism of
that machine, it is nothing to the
scrutiny that you will have to pass
thru with when you stand before Jesus
Christ. All your culture and money
don't amount to a picayune before God.
The only ground is do you believe in
Jesus Christ, or do you not?
What shall / do with Jesus?"
Only One Way.
I will tell you another thing, be-
coming children of God depends upon
what you do with Jesus. You are
born in this world and there is just
one way you will get into the king
dom of heaven, you have to be born.
Listen to me. never preach along
this line. but that I feel inadequate.
I try to forget self and to remember
only my Christ, that to him / am in
debted for every happy moment. You
ought to have to do Christ because
of the beauty and perfection of his
character. / find myself like the poet
who said:
ooh, could 7 speak the matchless
worth; Oh could 1 sound the glories
forth which in my Savior shine, TS
soar and touch the heavenly strings
and vie with Gabriel while he sings in
notes almost divine"
What Does He Lack?
Does Jesus lack anything in your
estimat ton?
"A famous infidel once said:
IF you will find me an absolutely
f1awless character, will worship him.
/ will challenge all the infields on
earth to show me a flaw in Jesus
Christ-one flaw. For nineteen GEN.
turtles the intidels have racked their
brains to find some flaw He stands
out tonight more magnificent and
beautiful than any one the world has
ever known.
You ought to have to do with Him.
because of the love that all the pure
and holy bear him. The anarchist has
no use for him, the thief that holds
up man, and the riff raft.
How Heaven Felt.
What an object of love He is up in
heaven. When God sent Him down TO
open up a plan Of redemption. angels
could not bear to see him come alone
and they followed Him and the Sleep
ing shepherds heard the strains of
heavenly song: GLORY to God in the
highest, peace on earth, good wiz
toward men"
Look. will you! See, He is being
baptized and the gates of Heaven
swing open and God the Father steps
out and leaning over the battlements
of glory he cries down:
This is my beloved Son, hear
Him"
An Object Of Love.
See what an object Of love He is.
See how God, the Father, loved him,
and the angels. Don't you think that
He Is worthy Of your love? Why do
you pass Him up? Why do you do IL?

In the tour around the world, when
he reached Jerusalem, they proposed a

suffered and died. This is no time for
a feast. want to be alone and quiet"
Lineoln's Prayer.
Abraham Lincoln. with the burden
Of the war on his shoulders. used to
rise at o'clock in the morning and
prayed God give the victory to the
army in blue"
You ought to love Jesus because of
the love Of all that is pure and holy.
