Violating the Rules
Years ago, in the mountains OF
West Virginia. in the coal district. an
engineer had pulled his tain OF
empty coal cars up the mountain 10
the loading station. I believe the
limit was eight loaded cars on the re,
turn trip. When the eight cars had
been filed bantering brakeman said
10 the engineer Bill. le6's put on
another The engineer raid. no.
that would be vioIatiSR of the
rules The brakeman sRid. on.
don't be coward. Bill. We can MAKE
it, Another car was added. and an
other. and another Finally the en-
the load II another car was put IN tne
train. The brakemen climbed into
the last coal car and the engineer
began drawing the train down tHS
CANYON. They had gone but two OF
three miles on the descent when the
heavy load became TOO much TOR 1ne
engine, and the engineer was con
scious that the train was running
away with him. He appueu fhe ar
brakes. he. did everything. but
foupd himself powerless to save ths
train. There was a sharp curve 1nfI
above the. canyon. The WIFE OF tne
engineer looked out from their nome
a she heard the terrible roar OF the
runaway train. She saw the tram
reach the canyon. Bill. her husband.
had often waved his Handkerchief and
thrown a kiss as he had reached mat
place. When she looked she was
filed with horror. She saw Bin en-
cine and cars loaded with coal turn
turp end over end into the canyon
until they disappeared from sight and
there was a terrible crash The
woman screamed. MY God. it's my
Pill They found him mangled ana
dead. He had let them put too much
of a load on his engine. Year atS.
year you have been adding to the bur
den of your sin Some OF you are on
the down grade running a; reckless
speed. The more YOU sin the faster
Won go. But IN the name OF Jesus
Christ. ask you 10 repent God says.
7 even am He that blottctn out thy
.ranrressionS for Mine Own sake and
viii not remember thy sins. Christ
said. TT ya believe not on me. We
shall die in your sins VIII You ne
Iievc on Him? VIII you confess your
sins 10 Him. The sooner you confess
your sins to Christ. confess Him as
your Saviour. the sooner viii you get
rid OF your burden or sin. Do it now.
