Evening Sermon.
The text of the evening sermon was
taken from Isaiah So; See We The Lord,
He May Be Found, call upon Him
while He is near Let the wicked
forsake his way and the u~prishteous
man his thoughts and let him return
to the Lord and He will have mercy
upon him and to our God for He will
abundantly pardon. In part he said:
THAT chapter is Gods call to Sal
vation,' said Mr.. Sunday. TT is His
call to man whose highest duty is to
become a christian. 1t shows what a
man is without God. 1t begins with
desolation and ends with rejoicing. 1t
changes the wilderness into a beauti-
full land. This text is imperative. 1t
is the call Of God. It is addressed to
the unsaved whether he is a million
aire or the man who sweeps the
street. 1t is a personal matter. Seek
We the Lord.
Salvation Personal Quest.
"a parent can't save his children.
There are many mothers who would
not shed another tear or spend another
sleepless night IL they could save
their children. 1t is a personal quest.
You can't seek and find your child
any more than 1 can eat and sleep
for you. 1 can't save you. If / could,
I would. If Christ should come to
Fargo tonight all He could do it to
urge you to forsake your way. God
can't do any more.

Devils Can't Harm.
"All the devils In hell can't make
you go wrong If you don't want to.
Salvation is given to those who for
sake. You've got to be more than a
brother-in-Iaw to the church. You
say, 7 don't feel n alarm God is
concerned. It's no compliment to you
to say that. I don't see how you can
profess to be wise, sane and decent
and feel no concern. Understanding
has nothing to do with 1t. i eat my
supper ard I don't understand how
the food makes me strong. All / have
to do is eat. Anyone can plant a seed.
It takes God to make it grow. Seek
first and believe and obey Gods word.
God is nearer than the air you
breathe. You can't seek him with
part Of your heart. There are men
who give up everything when their
health fails and seek a climate to re-
store the bloom. Seek for God as
earnest as for health. You can put
off anything too long. Many men
have died from appendicitis because
they waited too long. If your house
is on fire, do you strop your razor
and shave before you put it out. I
should think when a man knows he
has sinned he would hasten to be rid.
Of it.
"You never know the real mean
ing Of possession until you know God.
1t is as essential as sight Is to life.
! would rather be an invalid and blind
and be able to say I know my Redeem
er liveth than to gain the best the
world gives. I would rather walk to-
heaven over a rocky road with bleed
ing feet than to go tx hell in a private
train. They who seek the Lord will
not fail to find Him. No man can be
loyal in two armies. He can't fight
with the confederates all morning and
fight with the union side all afternoon.
You can't serve God one day and the
devil the next. You've got to forsake
the old crowd.
s'The best words in the English
language are the little ones. God, home,
