Biederwolf Sayings.
l don't want you to come and be
saved; want you to come and be
saviours.
There are people here tonight who
haven't given five minutes thought
today on spiritual things
Some people in Perth Amboy are
daffy over social functions. card
games and dancing.
You ought to be concerned about
your soul.
Swap some of your brains for
little backbone.
mo Man Cares for My Soul"
The evangelist chose as the sub
1ect of his sermon last night pass
age from Psalms: mo Man Cares
for My Soul" His address was an
appeal to church workers. II don't
want you to come and be saved,' he
numbered, Il want you to come and
be saviours. You are dreaming away
your lives in luxury and ease, while
hundreds about you are dropping off
into hell. ! would hate to be some
of the church members here. There
are those among you daffy over soc
ial functions, card games and dances.
You have not thought five minutes
about your soul You care neither
for heaven or hell. You give all
your time and thought to material,
sensual life.
Listen!" and the eyes of the
evangelist in sweeping glance rest
ed upon every upturned face before
him, Mind. soul, spirit and thought
are the ultimate realities.
You need not argue to me that
there is no hell; your own conscience
will tell you that there is. If you
pastors are not preaching the doc
trine OF eternal retribution you are
not preaching the gospel. Jesus said
more about hell than all of the other
writer's put together.
The strange thing to me is that
you people know what you know and
profess what you do. and YOU do not
say word to your neighbor about
his soul.
There are two words which ]
want to say more tenderly than all
others These are eternity and
lost. All the devils in hell tonight
are holding conclave and are trying
to sink their talons in your soul and
to draw you down into the bottom
less pits. The angels are trying to
cheer you to do right"
Gods Spirit Broods Over City.
Gods spirit is brooding over
Perth Amboy," continued the evan
gelist Men in the barber shops, In
the stores and on the streets are
talking of the meetings at the Audi
torium. A little work and they will
be saved. You are quick to express
distress but how little you think Of
