how I can forgive you"
4 Tho Whole Heart or None.
And you keep him out for one OF
two reasons: For what he will cast
out when he comes in, or for what ne
will bring with him when he comes
that you haven't. What will you DO
with him? Listen. If you are not
willing to make this sacrifice nave
nothing more to say. There is no sal
walton for you. There are people mere
tonight who are not willing to give
up their cards. Say. if l had my way
would put cards and whisky in hell
before midnight. l would do 1t Tor
generations that are living and for
generations yet unborn. Whisky Is all
right in its place, but its place is in
hell just as quickly as you can get II
there. There are fathers and mothers
who would not give up the beer in their
home or drinking wine in society. If
they knew it would save their boys
from becoming drunkards and their
girls from being prostitutes. They go
on doing these things. If Jesus Christ
comes in, out goes your drinking, out
goes your gambling, out goes your
pride, out goes your pleasures You
5 will have to disgorge your pocketbook.
} You are holding some political office
you have never been elected to. You
} have to change everything If Jesus
Christ comes in. You Will have to
, clean up your life. 1t means some
f thing to be a christian. Forgive!
