Christian life, and stop hypo-
pocriting a Hypocrit is worse
than an infidel or the vilest sim
ner. We must repent and be-
lieve on the Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ, confessing our sins
and be baptized in His name for
the remission of our sins. l
have been one of the most vilest
and wickedest sinners, but /
feel and believe that the Lord
has forgiven me. Remember,
we must reap what we have
sown, in some way. 1t may be a
long time getting to us, but it's
coming when you amt expecting
it. You may let it slip your
memory, and whether the deeds
is good or evil, you will be re-
warded according to them, for
the eyes of the Lord are upon
us continually day and night,
but if some of your deeds were
made known it would go hard
with you here on earth. The
truth crushed to earth now will
eventually burst forth as a shin
ing light, but the Lord said the
time would come when men
couldn't endure sound doctrine
and that men would murder each
other for telling the truth and
that time is now at hand. |
want you all, each and everyone,
to take this matter in considera-
ton and make better men and
women and girls and boys OF
yourselves and live more in the
fear and admonition of the Lord,
and He will help you and yonr
life will be "A happy and prosper
Gus one. Jesus said: look We
first the kingdom Of God and
His Righteousness and these
things shall be added unto you,
for your Heavenly Father knows
that We have need of all these
things. Read it; Matthew 6, VI,
chapter - and 33 verse. Remem-
Der, its not that which goeth in
to q man that defiles him, it's that
which comes out of man. | want
TO say: Husbands, love your
wives and children and treat
them right and don't neglect
your family for other women and
don't forsake your wife for no
one, and neither deny your
children, for they who deny
their flesh and blood deny their
savior But men let me tell you,
if your wife don't love you and
see some one she loves better
than you, you had better let her
go where she will or may and no,
love her too much TO give her up.
If you see the way she is going
and you can't please her with
good treatment, for you see
what it will bring man to.
Say, listen; | am now talking
to you women. ] have nothing
disparagingly to say to, against
or about you all, because my
troubles grew out Of what they
did, for the same God that made
me made you all; then, too, my
mother, three sisters and wife
are women and | love them and
all people are human, but all wo'
men is certainly not alike in ways
and deeds. / believe there are
some as nice and righteous wO-
men today as ever lived. both
virtuous morally and spiritually.
But you can't find all that way.
Bad treatment from husbands
oftentimes cause women to &c
astray where they would mt il
they had good husbands, and
some go astray for love, and
some go grasping one thing and
some another; some for the lack
of protection and some for the
lack of support and there are
women it's prone in them from
birth to 20 astray; men, too, and
all of John ID. Rockefeller S
riches and the wisest God sen,
ministers and teachers couldn't
make nothing out of them. They
would be murderers, gamblers
thieves, robbers, drunkards and
a low, degraded class of people,
