At the Baptist church tonight the
sermon will close the series on the
story of the Prodigal Son. We are

his fathers house and yet live in the

man and decency than the prodigal
in name. This sleek, wepclothed,
respectable church-gong person is
pictured by Christ more odious in
Gods sight than the abandoned sin

the town, though himself and others
may think him so. Come in with us,
my friend, and see this man, and
learn to loathe his character whether
in yourself or In the other fellow.

The Christ of the cross is Saviour for
