Who are the least interested in this
campaign" he asked. III tell you
it is the so-called aristocrats. Cen
orally speaking. the two classes that
oppose such work as L am doing are
the red-light residents and the high
browS."
The sermon was based on some OF
the excuses often given by people il,
the audience when asked by the per-
sonal workers to hit the trail. Every
excuse YOU give he said, 'is lie.
The reason for hitting the trail is not
that this front seat has any virtue.
You are not saved by the mere COM
ing; but the very effort of the body in
walking forward in the face of this
crowd shows an act of the will that
is evidence of a surrender to the will
of God. 1t is a wonderful privilege
for which every one is thankful aftel
he has done 1t. Lots of people regrel
after every campaign that they have
not hit the trail. 1t is a good thing to
let everyone know YOU are not
ashamed of Jesus Christ"
He advised the sinner not to pick
out some hypocrite from among his
acquaintances among the church
members, but to judge by thorough

declared. ten to every one pretender.

smaller than the hypocrite is the per-
son who is able to hide behind him."

opinion that there must be hatchery
