Man on one side is in touch with
the beasts, on the other he is in touch
with God. There is a warfare You
know it and feel it. Jesus calls you to

The life 10 more than meat. To eat
and drink and be clothed is not all
of life. There is a life of the soul.
Feed the body, give it all comfOlls-
but the soul is not satisfied. Cultivate
The mind-study art and literature and
science, but the soul sti!l cries out
for light and life and satisfaction.
What are you going to do? What
did Martha do? She arose quickly and
came unto Him. Oh soul, rise quickly
and come.
Why not? What hinders? What is
your hindrancS?
Unbelief? Some people think that
this is the hindrance of the age. It
is not A hundred years ago when the
had great power, but few pupils and
not many professors or Yale acknowl-
edged themselves Christians. Chris
tianity was supposed to be dying. But
you can't kill the soul and you can't
kill Christ and the soul responds to
Christ if We will let it.
No, it 10 not unbelief-it is in
difference or sin which keeps the soul
from Christ. Indifference is the him
drance today; men do not feel the
need of God-they are content with
the things OF the world-but time
always comes when the soul is shak-
en- and it hears the voice calling. What
of all the things, comforts and pleas
ures? We can carry nothing out and
we know it. Not in the fire.
Brother men-Jesus Christ calls you.
He calls you and because you are
human you can hear. Do you hear
now? He calls-He calls from His
Cross. There as He manifests the love
of God, He calls. The cross is the
supreme manifestation of the love
of God. Without it Christ would be
one of the great teachers. With the
Cross He proves to US that God so
loved the World that He gave His
only begotten Son" who by enduring
all that man endures even unto death,
He might seek and save the lost.
knew once man who had been
a brave soldier; as he lay wounded in
a hospital reading a New Testament
the thought of God coming to this
little world over-powered him. He
could not believe it. Then he opened
his New Testament and read the
parable of the lost sheep. All was
plain now and he lay back and cried
This little world he thought, is the
lost sheep-here is sin-others nave
not strayed away and God in His in
finite love has come to seek and save
to uplift and take home this little
sheep. And he knew the peace which
passeth understanding.
Can we answer as Martha did? Shall
we ally ourselves with the earth and
be earthly-or shall we ally ourselves
with the Lord from Heaven and in thai
union see and know God? See GodF
