CHRIST, THE CONDUCTOR
ON THE GOSPEL TRAIN

Dear readers of this paper, we notice
in its columns where some of the min
istering spirits of the devil are trying
to hinder Christ and His cause. We
find that very man, the creation of
Gods own hand, after they have abus-
ed him with all the shame that could
be thought of, took His only begotten
Son and knelt before him and Knocked
Him, and spit in his precious face, and
then nailed Him to a cross and took
His life, and we realize that every
sinner is held responsible for that cru
ell murder. And yet we find that they
are not satisfied with that, but they
are kneeling before him today and
hooking him, and even splitting in His
face. They are browning themselves
with all the glory that God reserved
and gave to His Son. 1t seems as
though they are trying to stop his sec
ond coming, and take it upon them
selves, when the Scriptures plainly
teach us that Christ is the only way.
Then we are compelled to confess that
the Lord Jesus built the road for this
gospel train, anil we further see that
he is the engine and the conductor, for
God has crowned him all in all. Poor
silly people, what makes you try to
destroy the works of God for your IA
Their, the devil, and boast in your
selves about what you are doing for
God, when you know that the lives of
all such is as dark as the very dung
cons of hell itself Does not even ma
ture itself teach you that self-praise is
a scandle'
would like to ask few questions.
l want to know if the wine for the
sacrament of the Lords Supper, is
made out of grape vinegar and colored
with red wrapping paper and sold out
at the back door, and carried off thru
the woods by the very agents of the
devil? This is not the way that our
Saviour taught while He was here.
Then YOU see you are condemned and
are a thief and robber, for He has
said that if ''any man cometh in ex-
cept by me he is a thief and robber
Then that has settled that part of it.
Well, dear friends, if we ever expect
to ride on that train we must quit
slipping around the church house with
our coats turned wrongside out over
our heads with the pockets full of bot
ties of the DEVILS juice to sell to his
imps to disturb the meeting and him
der the cause of Christ. And another
thing, we. must let the churches alone,
for that is another glory that God has
given to His Son, and He will reckon
with them when he comes. And just
think for moment if we are not ca.
pable of taking care of our own faml-
lies, what could we do with the
church. If we have SO much unclean-
ness in us as to teach falsehoods to our
children and cause them to practice 1t
and sign their names to what we have
said when we know and they know
that it is false and the devil approves,
what we 90 In the cnurcnE
Oh, my God, justice is crying for
judgement, and the Scriptures teach
us in Cor. $40, that we must all APP
pear before the judgement seat of
Christ that every one may receive the
things done in his body, according to
what he hath done, whether it be good
or bad And the Scriptures also teach
that we will have to give an account
of every idle word that we speak. 1t
is vileness and abomination in the
sight of God for vile sinner to boast
and exalt himself in God, and to abuse
the work of God as it is being done to-
day ''He that humbles himself shall
be exalted and he that exalts himself
shall be abased." So we are warned
against false prophets. And this calls
to mind when we will go into judge
ment and will hear them say, SIN thy
name we have cast out devils, and in
thy name done many wonderful
works. but He will say, Depart
from MEL never knew you. -
Now, dear friends, your wisdom is
foolishness in the sight of God, and if
you are ever even permitted to ride on
this train you have got to lay aside
every weight of sin that doth so easily
beset you, and take upon you the man
Christ Jesus, and quit bringing your
railing accusations against him for
God is going to have revenge, for
Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord"
And He told John in the Book of Reve-
lations, 81 come quickly and my re-
ward is with me to give to every man
according as his work shall be-"
Then, for your own sake please try to
learn something about God or quit
taking His name in vain, for it is 60
ing into judgement with you and un-
less you get forgiveness of this work
that the devil has done through you,
it will drag you down in the DEVILS
hell with all the nations that forget
God.
Now, in speaking about being born
again, how can anyone that has not
