innate II In dollars and cents. In the
first place. God did purchase your soul
without gold. The most precious thing

wealth, and then died without God.
You may run for mayor of a city.
then run for governor. then run for
president OF the United States and
then die without God. You)m be A
fool. God had his own heart for you.
There are some girls of Ohio that
are prominent in social work. a great
social leader and society queen. and
yet die without God. Women are dy.

God helps the sinner TO clean his
face and hands. God washes his face
One place where I was. a hobo came
in and called himself a Christian, but
he had the dirtiest face and hands
and he sat down right beside me.
The worst buns on earth fear God.
God will take all of the old SINS out
OF you: will take all OF the curse out
of your mouth.
Suppose you had no bath for ten
years, and suppose you had old
clothes on for ten years. and never
washed. God will take you out and
battle you. God will also wash your
soul There are some sinners that
say they will never take God.
God can take the dirtiest man and
clean him Salvation Is great be-
cause IL makes him clean Everyone
without God Is n slave. A mans viii

Whenever a man says he can let IL
clone. ask him II he let's II alone
Men here have tried to quit drinking.
You say you will quit drinking and
the next morning will go down to the
club and some one will come up 10
you with a bottle and ask you to
have a drink. You will say no. and
he will say give me no back talk.
Then you will pick up the bottle and
will drink IL. You drink it because
you are a slave of the devil
Some men will say they will quit
cussing and then they will 20 down
the street and something will go
wrong. and you will say that you have
quit cussing and then somebody will
say. now cuss. and you will reply, /
have quit. He will then say, do not
give me any back talk and you will
murmur the words in your mouth.
You curse because you are a slave
Of the devil
The Devil Does a.
The devil makes you do anything
he wants you to. He tells you 70
drink. and you will drink: he tells
you 10 gamble. and you will gamble
the devil tells you 10 abuse your wife
and you will abuse her. The devil
tells you to cuss and you will cuss
God sets you free.
Salvation is great because II sets
your sins from condemnation. Some
men think that they have TO do some
thing TO go to hell. DO nothing and
you will 20 10 hell. There are some
men who are trying TO fee God

your bed and place the iron chains
and you will be- in the throes OF
death.
