GODS YARDSTICK
OF A MAN
The Subject of Or. BuIsln's Discourse
Last Night, "cursed is Everyone
Who continueth Not in All
Things That Are Written

1t seems that some unfortunate man
in Vinita made rash statement few
days ago. Unfortunate because DR..
BuIgin proved him to be so and left
him absolutely no ground to stand on.
This remark was made before num-
ber Of others, so DR.. Bulgin can prove
his statement If his own word is not
efficient The statement was, that if a
man lived moral, upright, honest
life, he saw no reason for an accept
anee of Christ or an outward show Of
religion.
In his own inimitable style the great
evangelist opened up his discourse by
agreeing with this statement entirely,
and said through thinking it over he
had decided to preach sermon on
Gods Measurements of Man."
The text was a double one, Cursed
is Everyone Who Continueth Not in
All Things That Are Written Gala
tians $40; and For Whosoever Shall
Keep the Whole Law and Yet Offend
in One Point He is Guilty of ALL"
James 2-10.
Familiarly, Dr. Bulgin gives the oc-
cupation of each of the apostles and
shows that there was not philosopher
among them or man of much learning
until God put his finger on Saul. And
in this "seance," he says "the great
light was seen at noon, not at night as
the spiritualists have their demonstra-
tions, but at noon and others saw the
light.
He continues on, and says that he
wants to ask Of that man what good
moral character really is, that in the
scripture he finds but two; and they
are, Adam before Eve held to his lips
the tempting fruit. The man made in
the image of God, and God breathed,
who had not yet known sin in any
form. The second example is Christ
Jesus. And the word was made
flesh1 Then this great big-hearted
mans ability as a lawyer comes for
ward and he shows that perfect law
can only come from a perfect maker
of the law AS any man believes in
law, then must all men obey the only
perfect laws that have ever been laid
down; those of Moses on Mount Sinai
four thousand years ago.
Having agreed with the remark of
the man who believes that morality
and honesty are sufficient to form a
christian life, he takes each separate
commandment and measures man as
with ten yard sticks and shows con-
clusively as he always does that such
thing is impossible. Nor can one
get away from the law, for man is
God breathed animal and held abso-
lutely responsible for his actions"
Yard stick No. / Thou shalt have
none other Gods before me- He
proved that we are bowing down to
the almighty dollar; to dress and to
pleasure, and breaking this command
ment at every turn.
At yard stick No. ?. Thou shalt
not make thyself any craven image,
etc" lie explained that atheistic writer's
claimed this law or commandment to
be unnecessary, for it duplicated the
first when without the first one it
would not be able to stand, while the
first without the second would not be
complete It requires the two com
mandments to make the law
Yard stick No 8. sThou shalt not
take the name Of the Lord thy God
in vain, etc" And he said he heard a
man declare few days ago that he
never swore before a woman. Thus
he placed woman above his Maker, for
he had sworn before Him and violated
this, the third commandment, as had
nearly every other man in one way or
another.
Yard stick No. 4. Remember that
thou keep holy the Sabbath day, etc"
Several amusing stories were told
