BIC Meeting ON SUNDAY
Thousands of Men Attended the Big
Mems Meeting Sunday
Afternoon.

Speaking from the lGth chapter Of
the Gospel Of Luke and 10 an audi
ence that flied the large tent last
niRht, Evangelist George r. Stuart
preached another pf his remarkable
sermons whose benefits resulted In
much good last night and win yield
compound interest IN time 10 come In
the memories OF those who heard him
preach
II was the story Of Dives and Laz-
arus Dives rich, clothed in the purple
of office and the linen of society hay-
ing plenty to eat and a good digestion,
farIng sumptuousy every day; and
Lazarus, bcggar, set down by the
palace gates, having naught OF riches,
nothing Of office, nothing Of society,
nothing to eat and sick, covered with
sores from head 10 foot
What more could the rich man
have" asked the preacher. IN you
were going to give him anything,
what would II be? what less could
the beggar have? And II you were
going to steal anything from him what
drawn by God, the picture painted by
Christ, and when God draws con-
trast pr paints pictures, there is moth
ing left out. Is II possible to picture
n greater contrast?
But they die, both OF them, and
Dives goes to heli--money, friends
office, society, high living, none OF
these things were Of any use to him,
and not one Of them could keep him
from he'll. And the beggar dies and
he is carried into heaven by angels,
and rests in Abraham's Bosom; and
the lack OF friends, money office, So
ciety, not one of these things kept
him from heaven,
But that isn't all for Dives, IN tor
ment Looked up and saw Lazarus and
asked that the poor beggar be sent
to him thai he might dip his finger
into water and let drop OF it fall
upon his burning tongue. DO you
know of anything cheaper than drop
of water ON the end OF beggar's
finger.
What shall it profit a man II he
gain the whole world and then lose
his own soul? It took the life Of
Gods Son to redeem the soul, now If
you lose IT, what are you going to buy
It back with? Many of you think
everyhodys who's rich will go to he'll,
but you'll find rich and poor in
heaven and rich and poor in hell. The
question with money is Row did you
get 1t and what are you doing with It?
Why. you can mako golden wings
out Of money and fly to heaven on
them
III | were to tell you folks here to-
night where you could go out here and
find an acre Of land with a big oil
well on It, or ten acres with ten oil
wells on them, you'd walk all night
trying to get the deeds to this land
But if | tell you whore you can get
salvation by walking ten steps you
wouldn't walk them.
The world Is running after money
and you are running just a little bit
faster here in oklahoma than any
place | ever saw You are going go
fast that we can't see you go by.
You're hunting money, you're not
thinking about dying, but the surest
Of life are the quickest to die, and God
said that, too.
Clothed in purple Of the office-men
give everything for office, trade their
character, sell out their souls-every-
thing for office and you've got q man
coming here in the morning, travelling
over the country in private cars, try
ing to be elected to office.
The white linen Is the high society,
and lots Of folks sell out their God
and heaven and souls and children,
and push them into society--children
pushed into society by their parents
Oh want to tell you that I'd rather
A daughter Of mine would walk like
an old COW in heaven than to dance
like fairy In hell. Many a woman
has sold out her immlrotal soul Just to
be fashionable.
This IL contrast OF tho world |
against Christianity. not contrast OF |
riches and poverty but IL you get all !
Dt tho world and leave Christ out, !
you're the biggest fool that ever walk I
I'd the earth, and God said that, too.
Many pf you fellows are working for
he devil and boarding yourselves at
he same time"
The evangelist employed his usual
methods of making himself under
itood and reoited many little stories
