Meeting They Must Attend"
Assailing evil doors with his usual
vim and vigor and talking like a rapid
hre gun. pausing only ut intervals to
take a deep breath, Mr.. Sunday yes
terday afternoon preached his fare
well sermon to men. His subject was
Judgment" and It vas a powerful ef-
fort. He told Of the life to come and
the judgment that would come on that
great day. when we were all assem-
bled before the Almighty TO answer
for sins. After picturing the yer.
dict he then wanted to know what the
excuse would be.
Before ~launcing into his sermon Mr..
Sunday took occasion to express his
appreciation OF the Offering made to
him by the men. He thanked all
those who had contributed to the Of
fering and II there were those who for
some reason could not contribute I
thank them for their willingness and
appreciation. Il know l have your
sympathy" said Mr.. Sunday. and

ness and sympathy. No matter

innermost recesses OF my heart and
hid there. like you have here in

field. ! would eve look into your
faces again, but / am coming back
here this fall to deliver a temperance
speech" This announcement was fol-
lowed by a wonderful demonstration
which is more fully described else
where.
MIR. Sunday then opened his SER
mon as follows:
II have chosen a text for this az
ternoon a part of which you will all
admit through you may not believe
the rest. II Is found In Hebrews ix:27
And It is appointed unto men once
to die. and after this the Judgement"
Now the first part Of this text
you'll admit, won't you. II is appoint
ed unto men once to die. You'll admit
that. even you skeptics and disbe-
levers In the rest Of Code word can't
deny you have got to die. Now II
one part OF II is true, the rest OF II il
true-But after this the Judgment
Special Reasons.
Il have special reasons for choos-
ing this text for you men this after
noon. First because II Is q personal
question II you would spend your
eternity right you would 1--we right.
IL you know that you were going to
die tonight you would live right
You admit the first part OF my text
that II IL appointed unto o to die.
You don't know when so, why not
live right all the time?
II you knew you were going to
die at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon
you wouldn't go out tonight and get
drunk would you? No.
No man IL Indifferent TO his future
and IL he will only believe this pas
sage OF Scripture: He that believeth
In Me shall not perish. but have ever
lasting life.' My heart goes out to
any man here in Wheeling who will
not accept that passage Of Scripture.
Il presume o have people who
would die for you. ] know of two who
would die for me-my wife and my
mother. Either n OF them would
die for me II 6ley thought IL neces-
sary. but no matter how many would
die for you they can't answer for you
In he judgment Nobody can do that.
That's a matter that's up to you alone.
Il once read OF a boy In New York
that spent all the money his mother
made over the wash tub and one day
she told him that he had better &C
company her
Before the Judge
and let him send him 10 the island for
several weeks and then he would per
haps be in shape to help her earn
a living. He accompanied her TO to
Jefferson Market Station and when
his case was called the Judge asked:
Who prefers the charger And the
woman sobbing arose and cried: %,
Judge. ! can't. ! can't She then fell
dead at his feet and the coroner's
jury pronounced her death as result
Ing from a broken heart She loved
her boy and she died for him but he
will have 10 answer At the Judgment
Il hope and pray II may make YOU
stop and think. Long after this meet.
II closed. long after my voice IL stilled
and long after this tabernacle IL torn
down and forgotten and ! call to every
unsaved man In this building this az.
ternoon to com out and take a stand
for Jesus Christ and the right.
Il had a friend that preached IN the
north. but whose home was In the
south. One day he went home and his
friends told him the old sheriff va
very sick and that he had better 20
and see him. The sheriff was an old
inhdel and when my friend walked In
he was greeted by the old sheriff who
was about ready 20 die. When my
friend talked TO him
About His Soul
he replied: 4 have walked rfRht fnto
