few OF Evangelist Lowery's isms:
Hard work has kept literally millions
OF people out of hell.
Too many business men turn their
homes into lodging house and lunch
counter.
Jesus says. ''Ye cannot serve God and
mRmfnon." The world says, Serve God
on Sunday. and the devil all the rest Of
the week"
Jesus says, Forgive your debtors" The
world says. Sue them for the dough-"
Thirty thousand dollars win buy the
average man a through ticket TO hell
and the first thing he does Is to check
his baggage and start and all heaven
can't stop him.
Some OF the things taught in theologi-
cal seminary are of no more practical
use to u preacher than a pair OF crane s
legs are TO setting hen.
Some church folks think Jesus said:
Take up your ice cream freezer daily
and follow me. or so We into all tho
cream socials or dinners to get a little
money 70 support the church"
