but they could hear and obey the vote,

Salvation does not consist in KNOWN,

ed; it is not in the revelation of tn,
divine mystery of it, but it is when W.
begin to know Him and to realize that

eternity.
God wants us to make an honest
effort to forego sin," the preacher ex
planned, earnestly. "He wants us tt
search ourselves. He wants me to
quit that sin which you may not know
but which ! know exists in my life
He wants us to be honest. God has a
right to expect that from every respon-
sible being on earth, and IL you're not
willing to honestly ferret out such sins
then you're not toting fair with God
or yourselfi"
Some people try to get the myster-
les of salvation into their poor little
numbskulls," he exclaimed, shut they

how he comes iato the world as child
to be nourished by his mother, but I'm
satifled to know that God puts him
here and made laws by which he can

dtrstard the mysteries of salvation,

AS you go you will be cleansed o.

tinued. q never saw. saved man IN
my life who didn't fall out with sin.
You viii not only get a-er to God but
you'll hate sin more and more The
small sin that before only pricked your
conscience lightly will become exceed
ingly heinous as you get away from Il"
He said he had heard right in Chick
asha that "old chestnut" about hypo-
critics In the church. "I'll not think on
my own ways, this fellow says, Tetley
declared. "Pll think on the hypocrites
ways and go to hell with him.s
Tetley showed the absurdity Of such
way of accepting Gods command
ments, making the suggestion that the
ten lepers might have regarded Judas
as hypocrite and refused to obey
Christ's injunction because Judas was
in the way and they wouldn't pass him
by on the way to the temple But they
didn't do any such thing They i'm
mediately began to seek the reward
Christ promised them, they hearkened
TO His command, and they received
that reward, became cIeansed Of their
loathsome disease and were restored
to their families and social life.
Look not first upon the hysocrite
but upon Yourself Tetley pleaded
then 80 to Jesus Christ and hear His
commands If you come to the point
as did these lepers you will be cleans
ed. Probably people stopped then
while they were running to the tenn
pie and scornfully asked, after hearing
what their intentions were, if they ex-
pected the priest to heal them. But
they didn't stop to bubble with doubt |
ers and scoffers. They knew they had
an awful disease and wanted to be
cured. So they were going to test
Jesus Christ to the very last extrem
ity If He didn't keep His word to
cleanse them as they went on the way |
then they could denounce Him as
liar.
Some folk are so afraid they can't
hold out in the Christian life You
plead that as an excuse, a really ser
ious excuse for not accepting Jesus
Christ Suppose you make fall, what
then? Why, my friend, Just get up
and start again. that's the proposition
Just ask Gods help and keep at it,
"As ye go We will be cleansed and
as ye go We will be kept clean he
cried. Folks who are doubling the
Bible and the fundamentals OF Jesus
Christ are those who are attending the
picture shows and forgetting the SAT.
bath day to keep it holy"
Brother, sister, before you say Gods
plan isn't all right 80 all the way,
then if it doesn't work you can bear
Jesus Christ as liar and hypocrite
before Gods throne," Tetley exclaim-
ed, and he went on to relate his own
conversion. his utter lack of feeling
but his reliance upon the promise Of
God. He believed God told the truth.
he said; he had no tears. 40 emotions,
no strange feelings; he just believed
God and accepted His promise.
