husband who has promised to honor
and obey her, sitting at the window
listening for the sound of his feet on
the pavement. He comes home reeking
and sinking from the den of iniquity
where he has violated his marriage
vows n been living in sin. What are
the tortures of the wife who knows
that her husband is false to her? You
have to have such a husband to APP
preciate what she suffers"
IF you don't believe in the teachings
Of the Bible, you're a fool, imbecile,
idiot and ass, all four, and it's gross
hattery at that.
1.-THE atoning blood OF Jesus Christ is
the only method of salvation. Some OF
you people howl and say that the Bible
Is a bloody book M that we are
preaching a slaughter house religion.
or course the Bible is a bloody book.
If you take the blood out Of 1t it would
be merely an undressing collection
Of tales and nonsense. It is the atom
ing blood Of Jesus Christ that gives
the plan of redemption.
The blood Of Jesus Christ accom-
plished several things: first, it poured
out life; second, it gave redemption.
That's where the Unitarians fall short
Of the Bible. Redemption is Gods
part, but salvation is your part and It
Is up to you to accept it.
Mr.. Sunday told a story of how he
approached q group of newsboys on
a street corner in Chicago and found
that n Of them a a young sparrow.
He tried to persuade them to release
the bird, but finally had to purchase
1t from them for a nickel and then
he set it free. why didn't you throw
the nickel in the II you didn't
want to keep the bird?' asked one of
the boys. He then explained to the
boys why he set it free and told them
that the devil owned them the same
as they held the bird in bondage
and 1t was unable to get loose until
help came TO 1t and he purchased our
freedom from eternal damnation on
the cross and He owns us each and ev-
cry one and IL we're not living in the
way He tells US to, we're robbing Him,
because he paid the price on the cross.

Mr.. Sunday told a story of how he
was preaching one night at the Pa
cihc Garden mission in Chicago and
started to walk home with his wife,
when 1t occurred to him that the
time was right for a visit to the city
lookup for the prisoners OF the night
were beginning to be rounded up and
lodged in the cells. With Mrs. Sunday
he went to the Harrison street station.
where the desk sergeant, a friend OF
his, showed them through the lookup.
In one cell they saw eight or ten
drunken men piled up to sleep of the
effects OF the liquor. In another was
a dope fiend and in another fourteen
girls, mostly drunk, carrying on in
a frightful name He stated that
the night is the worst time for sin n
that then is when the most sin is
committed. Midnight on earth is MIDI
noon in hell, he said.
Invention of Parafine.
The Standard oil Co. when 1t first
started to refine oil was troubled with
a great black, sticky evil-smeIling
substance that was left over when the
oil was refined. They tried to get rid
Of this by burying 1t, or putting it
In creeks and rivers and burning ii,
but they couldn't do it. Then the
chemists of the company got busy on
the substance and worked for months
trying to find some way Of disposing
of 1t. At last one day a chemist came
into John ID. Rockefeller's ONCE and
laid on his desk a white, pure waxy
substance. That was parafine and it
was made from the black residue. No
matter how black your sins are,
Jesus will make them as white as
snow. IF your sins be as crimson the
Lord will make them as white as
SNOW When a rag picker turns in
red goods it is necessary for the pa

into co1ored papers. as there Id 40
process known which win turn red
into white.
Rev. Mr.. Sunday closed his sermon

Atlantic which has sprung a leak and

Of the men who worked the pumps
constantly. The captain called for 4

vessel and plug up the leak, saying
that 1t meant death 70 the man who
went. HIS own son was the onIy
VOLUNTEERS, but he ~sueceeded in accom-
plishing his mission and v fhe
lives OF all the people on board. Jesus
did the same thing he said. The
sermon waa closed with i Short
prayer.
