Taking his text from Jeremiah. 9Th.
18th. Mr.. Sunday. said that in that
verse Jesus. gave an explanation for
the sad state OF affair and appalling
conditions in that day. When God en-
tered he promised peace Joy and pros
perity. He promised victory and
honor and other things but when they
disobeyed him gave them nothing.
The evangelist stated that he could
not understand why those peopls
fought against God. and would not do

Nobody to Blame.
What was the reason: Did God
make promises he did not intend full
filling? No. Jeremiah laid the blame
where II belonged. The same condi.
tons exist today and are being faced
by the gospel ministers.
God promises TO forgive. He prom
ises us peace. He promises us full
ness OF joy. He promises us emanci-
patton OF sin and He promises VI
victory. He will provide a way for US
for your needs. but He will not pro-
vide for your wants. Rockefeller,
Morgan and those millionaires may
provide for your wants. but God has

others. You should yearn for the
power hiatt God can give you. Yet
there are thousands and thousands OF
church members who are strangers
TO religion.
Go up and ask one-half OF the per
sons who have been converted here
and ask them IL they are saved. They
will say they don't know. You must
have faith In Jesus Christ, then that
is proof that you are saved. Persons
that are not saved have no constant
peace. They have not victory, but
defeat. They have sorrow and not
Joy.
Bitter Contrast.
why is it that the Christian life
pictured in the New Testament af.
fords such bitter contrast to the life
which you are now living?"
Did God put the Christian stand
ard too high and then damn US be-
cause We don't live up to It?
Somebody is wrong. Either you
or God. Were His promises made
never to be fulfilled? No. And IL you
say so you are n liar.

agree that 1t was not Gods fault

there is something in your life that

children. Their legs were bare, their
lips purple and their teeth chattering.
The policeman at the gate asked them
what they wanted and the little boy
said you tell him sister. but the little
girl said no. you tell him. Finally the
little girl asked. is this the White City
and the officer replied yes. Well. she
said, We want to go in.

The officer hesitated. and the little
girl said, when our mamma died two
weeks ago. she said she was going 10

there. and they told us over on the

City. and We want TO 60 in and md
