Some Pointers from Evangelis
Cantwell's Sermons.

Learned ignorance is the stubbornest
OF all human conceit.
Don't be afraid to know and admit
the worst to yourself and God.
A lie is like a SNOWFALL, the farther
you roll it the larger it becomes.
Don't trust your own heart, it is de-
ceitful, as well as incurably wicked
God says SO.
Don't be too proud to be saved in
Gods way. What has poor sinner to
be proud Of?
1t liz better to sleep over what you are
thinking Of doing, than to be kept awake
afterwards by what you have done.
Don't play at christianity. There is
too much Of "Nero Fiddling" while Rome
is burning in our wonderful 20th century.
Don't ',e lazy christian. Victory is
given to those who really fight in tho
Lords strength. Dead men don't fight,
sleepy ones cannot.
Don't try to "whitewash' your old ma
ture and pretend no sold Adam re-
mains. You cannot deceive others, if
you deceive yourself, neither can you
deceive God, nor the Devil.
