great 1859 revival. then again the
wonderful power of gospel song I'm

In our own day the great Welsh re-
vival. Then again We have another
wonderful proof of the power of
gospel song in Or. Torrey's and
Charlie Alexander's trip around the
world, when such songs as Tell
Mother IN BE There" THE Glory
Song" and many others were sung
into the hearts of the people.
Il is true, yet to me it is sad,
that so many OF our present day
churches have the idea that a pro-
fessional quartet is all that is need

of Almighty God, and nine cases out

time turning my back on my pro-
fession. Gospel songs were entirely
unknown 20 me. for the reason that

Scotch home. and was compelled TO

but Psalms.

that leads up to God and heaven and
glory, or are YOU on the road that
leads down to Satan and sin and
shame and he'll?
Some years ago one of our
American sailors came into mis-
sion in New York City, and as he
passed out of the mission not very
much affected. worker at the door
put a little card into his hand. On
this card were printed these words,
"If should die tonight / would go
to-" The place was left blank, and
underneath was written, please fill
up and sign your name
"The sailor. without even reading
the card, put 1t in his pocket and
went down to the steamer, went to
his bunk and put the card in the
edge of his bunk. In the journey
over he was thrown from the rigging
and broke his leg. They took him
down to his berth, and as he lay
there day after day that card stared
one day "If | should die tonight I
would go to- "Well, he said. 'if

tonight I would go to hell. But" he
isaid, 81 won't fill Il out that way"
and lying there in his berth he took
Jesus Christ and filled the card
IF | should die tonight l would go
to heaven" He came on to Eng
land, went back to New York.
walked into the mission and handed
lin the card with his name signed
to it.
Suppose you had such card to
I'll up--"If l should die tonight
would go to-" What would it be?
Again. are you a child of God or
child of the devil? We live In a
day in which many superficial think
ers are telling us that all men are
the children of God. That is not the
teaching Of the Bible, and it is not
the teaching of Jesus Christ. Jesus
Christ says distinctly in John Will. "A,
taking to certain Jews. "Ye are OF
your father the devil" And we are
told in l John iii. 10, in this the
children of God are manifest, and
the children of the devil" And are
told distinctly in John t. ~, CAS-
many as receive Him, to them gave
He power to become the sons OF
God" Children of God, or children
of the devil. Every one of US here
tonight is either one or the other.
Which are you?

and had to pay them out Of my
own pocket. simply because he was
not willing to humble his pride and
face facts.
II Is just so with many Of you
people here tonight You are too
proud to face the fact that you are
morally and spiritually bankrupt. 50
YOU are going to shut your teeth. to
set your face like a flint, and plunge
through. You will plunge into utter
and eternal ruin.
Every man wants to know
where he stands physically, he wants
TO know what Is the condition Of his
lungs, OF his heart, of his stomach
Of his nerves. He may be worse OFF
than he thinks he is; he may think
his heart is sound when his heart Is
defective. But If that be the case,
he wants to know II, because If he
knows that his heart is defective. he
VIII not subject II to the strain that
he otherwise would Many a man
lies today in a premature grave who
might be doing good work on earth T;
he was not willing TO find out what
HIS real condition was. and act ac-
cordlngly.
Every man at sea wishes to know
iuat where his vessel is. It's exact
latitude. and its exact longitude. I
remember once in crossing the At
lantic ocean some years ago. we had
been sailing for days beneath clouds
and through fogs. We had been I'M
able 20 take an observation by the
sun, and had been sailing by dead
reckoning One night happened 10
be on deck. and suddenly there was
a rift In the clouds Just where the
north star appeared through the
rift. Word was sent below to the
commanding officer
The captain OF the vessel hurried
On deck. and remember how he
fairly laid across the compass and
how carefully he took an observation
by the north star. that we might
know exactly where we were. We
are all sailing tonight across a peril
Gus sea. toward an eternal port. and
every truly intelligent man and
woman in this cast audience will de-
sire 70 know just where they are.
their exact spiritual latitude.
Considering ~.
How shall We consider this great
quest .ony
First OF all, We should CONSIDER
II seriously. II Il not a question 20
trifle with. Il is a singular fact
that men and women who are in
teliigent and sensible about evey-
thing else. who would not think OF
trlfllng with the great financial ques-
tons of the day, or with great social
problems, when they come to this
great question OF eternity, will treat
II as a Joke.

Second. are you on the road tC

only two roads. as We see by the

there are two and OMIT two-tht

better than to see ourselves as others
see us: that Is. to see Ourselves as
God sees us. Oh! let us not leave this
rink tonight until we see ourselves
in the light of Gods presence, as
God sees us. and that will only be
in answer to finite and earnest
prayer.
81 met one morning in an. Ameri-
can city the pastor church Of which
had formerly been pastor As we
met he said to me. Brother Torrey,
I had an awful experience this morn
ing" said. what was It, Brother
Norris?" He said. "You know Mrs.
-," mentioning a member Of the
church OF which he was now pastor,
and OF which | was formerly pastor.
He said. "You know she is dying.
She sent for me to come and see her
this morning. | hurried to her
home. The moment opened the
door and entered the room she cred
from her bed. "Oh, Brother Norris.
! have been a protesting Christian
for 80 years. am now dying. and
have Just found out in my dying
hour that I was never saved at all. +"
The horror of IT, to be a profess
ing Christian for 40 years, and never
find out TN your life's at an end that
you have never really been a Chris
tian at all Better find Il out then
than in eternity. but better find it
out in the dawn of your professed
Christian experience. better find it
out tonight.
~ do not doubt that in this great
crowd there is many man and
woman who has been a protesting
Christian for years who was never
saved. After we had left Liverpool
/ read in a paper. edited by a clergy
man in that city, a letter complain
ing about our meetings. In this let
ter, addressed to the public press.
the writer said, These men pro-
duced the impression that some of
our church members are not saved
Well, that is the impression we tried
to produce. for that is the truth OF
God In Paducah's churches, and in
the NoncOnfOrmist bodies, you will
find many men and women who are
unsayed.
The Paducah evening sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1906-1929, 1910-10-06

I ! remember one night in an
American city a little boOtblack on
the street was backing my boots,
and l put to this bootblack as he
worked over my boots the question
My boy. are you saved?" and the
boy treated It as a joke. was not
surprised; that is al you would e1-
pect of a poor. illiterate. uneducated
bootblack on the street. But, men
land women. 1t is not what you would
expect OF thinking men and thinking
women, that when you come to these
great eternal problems OF God. eter-
nifty. salvation, heaven and hell, that
they should be treated as joke.
But alasl they are treated as a joke
by some men and women.
ANY man or woman who trifles
with questions Ike these plays. the
part of fool. don't care what
your culture is, what your social
position Is, what your reputation IS
for scholarship don't hesitate to
affirm tonight that unless you have
faced. or will face tonight this great
Question Of your spiritual condition.
with the profoundest earnestness
and seriousness. you are playing the
part of a fool.
I'VE should consider this question
honestly There are many people
in our day who are trying TO deceive
others, and trying TO deceive God.
many men who in their Utmost
hearts know that they are wrong,
but are trying to persuade them
selves that they are right. and try
ing to persuade God that they are
right.
"Men ana women. YOU cannot de-
.ceive God. II VIII do you no good

consummate folly to deceive YOUR
self The biggest fool on earth is
the man who fools him elf. Be hon

you are on the road to perdition. az

'of God face the facts. II you are a
child OF the devil. admit IT, Be hon
lest. honest with yourself, honest

"ln the third place, We should
consider the question thoroughly.
There are many people who are hon
est enough. and serious enough as
far a. they go, but they don't go to
the bottom of things. They are su-
|perhcial They give these tremend
|ous questions few moments
thought. and then their weak minds
weary. and they say. 81 guess am
Iall right; | will take my chance "
You cant afford to guess on ques-
tons Ike these; We must have. not
probability, but absolute certainty.
Il Will not satisfy me to hope / am
saved: / must know that / am saved;
Il Wiz not satisfy me TO hope / am
a child OF God. II viii not satisfy
me to hope that I am bound for
heaven; | must know that am
bound for heaven. DO not lay these
questions down until you have gone
TO the bottom Of them, and know
for an absolute certainty just where
you stand.

Prayerfully.


"In the fourth place. you should
consider these questions prayerfully.
God tells us in His word, and we
know II from experience, that the
heart IS deceitful above all things and
desperately wicked CJer. xviii. 3D..
There Is nothing that the human
heart is so deceitful about as about
our moral and spiritual condition.
Every man and woman by nature is
very sharp-slghied to the faults Of
others, and very blind 10 their own
faults What we need is to face this
question in prayer You will never
know where you stand until God
shows you. Not tin we pray at least
The substance of David's prayer.
search me. o God. and know my
hoart, try me and know my thoughts.
and see II there be any wicked way
me-" and God sheds the light of
lis Holy Spirit into our hearts, and
shows us ourselves as He sees rs,
VIII We ever know ourselves as we
really are.

when he wrote:

ScripturaIIy.


"Once more We should consider
this question scripturally, according
to the book. God has given TO you
and me only one safe chart and COM
pass to guide us on our voyage
through life toward eternity That
chart and compass is the Bible-the
book / hold in my hand. If you steer
your course according to this book,
sou steer safely; II you steer your
course according to your own feel
ings. according to the speculation of
the petty philosopher or the theo-
logan. according to anything but
the clear declaration of the only
book of God, you steer your course
to shipwreck. Any hope that is not
founded on the clear. unmistakable
teaching of Gods word is absolutely
worthless. ANY hope founded on
that book Is a sure hope; any hope
that is not built upon that book Is
not worth anything.
''In one of my pastorates a young
married couple had entrusted to
them by the Heavenly Father for a
brief period a sweet little child. Then

together inscrutable. took from these
parents that little child home "a
Himself. Their hearts we're deeply
touched. and in the hour of their
sorrow went to call upon them
and taking advantage of their
tenderness of heart pointed them to
that Savior with whom their child
was safely at home. And they pro
fessed to accept that Savior.
After some days and weeks had
passed, and the first keenness of the
sorrow had gone. they began TO drift
back into the world again, and
