Il didn't make any difference what he
a. ughC IL was what God said.
Men go TO hell Cor Whist they think.
Men go to peniteutlarics and jails for
what they think SC their thoughts are not
ia accord with the law. l told him hc
did not have right to his opinions n
they LED him sgaiust the laws Of God. I
told him he was not a Christian az all.
| saw by his lapel he was a Mason
Mystic Shriner-snd I said; suppose you
say, Mr. sunday. I'm "a Mason. I ask.
What lodge do YOU belong toE None.
hut I'm a Free Mason Have YOU been
initiatedg No. never was. Pay your
duesg' NO. never did Then. you're not
a Mason. n YOU say YOU are and haven't
been initiated or never paid any dues,
you're not Mason; you're liar no
matter what YOU may saw
So told hirt shat n he said he was a
Christian and had not complied with
any OF rhe laws OF God he was not a
me Inber Of the lodge and had not com
piled with its rules / told him God had
"A right to tell him what to do.
How Are You Going 10 Cross the
Iinet
Maybe your a drunkard. an adulterer,
a prostitute a liar. won't admit YOU are
lost, are proud, maybe you're even proud
you're not proud and Jesus has a time
Of IT,
Jesus said: Come to Me" not to the
church; Ito Me- not to a creed; Ito Me
not to n preacher; ito Me-" not to an
evangelist: Ito Me-" not to a priest; Ito
Me-" not to pope.
Come to Me and will give you rest"
Faith in Jesus Christ saves you, not
faith in the church.
Say, you are here, and here is the divid-
ing line You are On the devil 5 side. How
are you going TO cross over?
With his heart man believes and with
his mouth he confesses Then confess
and receive salvation full. free, perfect
and eternal.
God will not grant any extredition
papers. Get over the old line.
A man isn't a soldier because he wears
a uniform or carries a gun. or carries
canteen. He Is a soldier when he makes
a definite enlistment. All OF the others
can be bought without enlistinE
When a man becomes a soldier he goes
out on muster day and takes an oath to
defend his country. It's the oath that
makes him a soldier Going to church
doesn't make a Christian any more than
going to garage makes you an auto
mobilist but public. definite enlistment
for Christ makes you a Christian
oh" woman said me out in Iowa.
"Mr. Sunday, 1 don't think l have to
confess with my mouth"
1 said: you're fool, then, putting up
you thought against Gods"
Mouth doesn't spell intellect II smells
mouth, and you must confess with your
mouth. The mouth is the biggest part
about most people any how.
Jesus Understands Both sides.
What must I do?
Philosophy doesn't answer it. Infidelity
doesn't answer It,
First, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ
and thou shalt be saved. Believe in the
Lord. Bord-thatis His kingly name.
That's the name He reigns under Thou
shalt call His name Jesus"
1t takes that kind of a confession. Give
me Saviour with a sympathetic eye to
! watch me so shall not wander. Give me
a Saviour with strong arm to catch me
II I stumble. Give me a Saviour that will
| hear my slightest theory
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and
be saved. Christ is His resurrection name.
He is sitting at the right hand of the
Father now interceding for us. Because
of His divinity He understands Gods side
of it and because of His humanity He un.
derstands our side of It.
Who IL better qualified to be the metii-
ator? He's a mediator. What is that?
