John 4:7,12. "Belovcd Lot us Love
one another, for love is of God, If
we loveth one another, God dwelleth
in us and his love is perfected in us"
was the basis of his remarks. =
NThe feltdw that don't love HIS
brother doesn't love God. IL is the
height of nonsense to try to be a
| Christian and hate somebody. God
| doesn't change his word to suit my
case but l change my case to suit
his word. Were trying to fix the
| Bible TO suit tn epeople instead Of
trying to measure up to Bible stand
ards.
| "By Gods kind Of love I mean tho
kind that Christian gets from God.
A Christian is one who is filled with
love to such an extent that Jealousy
and kindreth sins are driven out. It's
n counterfeit of Gods kind of love II
we talk about a brother. Some OF
us have forgotten about the wonder
| ful treasure we once possessed. We
have good lot OF people who are
sincere but have not found the glor-
ious secret Of Gods love. Law with
out love is the father Of every fanatic

"The reason we are a misrepres-
entation of the gospel is because we
haven't his love. Adam Clarke said:
Il cannot glorify God by continually
looking at the sacrifice of His Son for
| me, but 1 must throw open the door
| Of my heart and let Him do what He
said He would If we all had this
kind of love it wouldn't be long tin
we would have one denomination in
stead of so many. Istead Of this we
want to go off by groups andstart
another church. We've got some forty
| year old babies in the church. There
| isn't a preacher in the country but
that wishes for unity but instead ono
committee gets jealous of another or
| the choir get into trouble. We can't
| get unity through organization.
'Tf there is anything disgusting to
n community it's quarreling church
| A church Is either a blessing or a
curse. I'm not n com-outer, I'll stay
| I'm the church and try to help clean
| It up. Gods kind Of love should
| penetrate the heart Of every Christ
ian. If that were true there'd be n
| revival that the devil couldn't stop
] There's no Christianity in observing
the law, II you haven't Gods love. II
the Christians in this town had any
| thing that looked like this kind of
love they'd wipe out every saloon in
| It. This love wouldn't let all kinds
Of sin slobber over us. A saloon
keeper respects n man that has relig.
ion enough to show his colors all the
time. A man that's filed with this
| 1axfa ttrApfi t.ftI, cir
moro love we'd make war against sin
more effectively The church will
| never see sin until she sees through
eyes filed with Gods kind Of love. IL
| promotes holiness and charity.
He that Loveth God Loveth His
| Brother also' When the devil splits
off a little faction he always does il
on some non-essential question. Somo
| crlticise others for wearing a necktie,
eating pork, etc. This Is nothing
more than Pharlseism. IF we'd lay
aside these little things we'd accomp-
lsh something for Christ and scores
would be brought into the kingdom Of
| God.
Tuesday night every seat was filled
and some were standing when Mr..
| lIill began speaking of "The Unpard-
enable Sin" 81 hear n lot of folks
singing, win there be any stars in
my Crown?' Some of us will have To
be thankful II we get in bald-headed,
let alone getting a crown according
to the way we're looking at the job.
Some Of us have begun to believe that
we can serve the Lord part of the
time and the devil the rest of the
! time. In Genesis 6:3 we read; "My
spirit shall not always strive with
men," ] believe eVery man has a
chance to get saved sometime. The
more chances you miss the deeper you
sink int ohell. His spirit Is here to
convince men of righteousness and OF
judgment to come. 1 sometimes
trem'ble when I see how men resist
God, even some who are members
of churches. Some VIII kick and
growl at the preaching they hear
when they themselves have never led
a soul to Jesus. Perhaps their own
children are unsaVed 1t may be the
parents come home from church and
oriticse the sermon and preacher and
make infedels out of their own child
rem. We grieve the spirit and Slide
out OF our church pews in to Doweism
