Billy sundays sermon last night was
as follows: =
Text: Numbers xxi. 2s-"Be sure your
sins win find you out"
SIN h tho ono thing In the universe
which can permanently damage a man
and eternaliy damn him.
disappointment may worry him. grief
may sadden him. adversely may bring
him hardships and heartaohes. but the
only thing that can permanently leave
its stamp upon a mans character and
eternaliy damn him IN hell is sin.
No man or woman can escape from his
or her sins Every sin YOU have ever
committed or ever will commit will bring
YOU 20 account and you viii have 20 pay
FOR Il. and you never win ain that you
won't have 20 pay for Il.
Nobody ever sinned that wasn't a loser
by IT. Nobody ever committed a sin
that ever paid. You may have lied and
made sfo0 by that lie. but II didn't pay.
You may own a store that you would
not have now n you hadn't lied. That
doesn't pay You may have a farm
that you would not have had n YOU had
lived right That doesn't pay.
The most stupendous, gigantic folly that
lsver entered the mind Of man or wo-
man 10 the supposition that 4 pays 20
DO wrong.
There may be those here, tonight who
are planning some sin. and your presence
here Is only that many hours nearer the
time. the hour and the place you will
commit that sin. In fact. your presence
here might be for the purpose Of eiudinE
people and you are here simply for the
purpose Of warding off suspicion. and you
can scarcely wait until my message q
over and you can creep off in the dark
ness and propagate your iniauisy.
That won't pay. l won't SEQ Il, the
people here won't see u. hut the eye Of
the Lord runs through the earth and
there Is no blackness that can hide your
lniquities away from God.
There are some things In life about
which there are degrees OF uncertainty.
You are not certain that you will die.
Jesus Christ may burst upon the world
ana judge Il before The clock win strike
u Al midnight.
You Are not sure that the sun viii rise
tomorrow. We suppose Il viii, II has
risen ever since God put Il In the sky.
and Il has swung with perfect precision
and never deviated ono BIT. 1 presutnr

Therefore, I IN sure that my sins will
