The constant rejection and refusal
OF Jesus Christ. as your personal
Savior. Is the objectionable sin.

Throwing the Rope.
over in Scotland. there are men
who make their living by hunting
eggs that the sea birds lay on the
dangerous crags along the coast. One
time there was a man hunting these
eggs and he took a rope so that he
could lower himself to a crag below.
After going below and gathering the
eggs he found that the rope had be-
come out OF his reach and he stayed
there all day and all night. II seem
ed as though he would die from star
walton. There did not seem to be any
hope for him.
The next day the breeze from the
sea started blowing the rope towards
him and he saw that II he could reach

chance and when the rope blew near
MIN he made up his mind to leap for
H. Staying on the ledge meant death
by starvation and leaping for the rope
was chance OF being saved. So he
made the jump and grasped the rope.
working hand over hand he reached
the top. His hair had been turned
grey in a night by fright.
There is but one cord sweeping

Him to go away. they did not be.
