men and women with whom the Holy Spirit has plead for
years and years.
You know my brother my sister, how the Holy Spirit
has come you the silent watches of the night how the
Holy Spirit you time after time and plead with
you certain things and would not do Them and the
opportunity goes, and it goes forever
Again I desire to repeat Horace Mann's MAXIM which
today lives in the minds of multitude of people, and will
live on and In reference to opportunity, he wrote:
"Lost somewhere between Sunrise and Sunset,
Two Golden Hours, each set with sixty Diamond Min
No reward is offered, for they are lost for ever.

No YOU cannot do it! All of your words and deeds
have been placed record in Heaven and will face them
in the Day of Judgment.
Oh think of it! For must all appear before the
Judgment of Cod to give account for all the deeds
done while here in the body.
God knows Yes, God knows all about it!

NY brothers and sisters, do not make mistake about
it. the finally impenent go to hell They are shut out OF
this Holy City.
Think of it! Think of being shut out of the Holy City
Think of being shut outsde And with whom? With the
dogs with the filthy with the uncean with the liars, with
the abominabe with the towards, with the unbeevers
Think of having live with them from God, away
from Christ away from Holy Spirit from all the
angels away from all the saints of God!
Will you take the risk?
God have mercy upon you
How can you afford to sit here today second longer
and not give your God and consecrae life to
Him? How can you withhold your farms, your gold and
silver YOUR life when the call is made to build ZION CITY
How can you do it for minute longer?
If you do it the day will come when the Holy Spirit
will never ask you again. and the bright and shining crown
which God holds today which He would put upon your
head will be given to another who will hear the voice OF
God and will bring forth the fruit of earnest Christian
life.
Now just word about the foundations

noon While you here this morning was reading and
studying and praying and said to myself when closed my

What it? To draw before your minds as best can the
beautiful picture of the eternal home Of the saints
Why it is impossible! God tried it.
I wonder whether make this plain to you? Why
did not God send angel to be redeemer? Why?
angel could not be redeemer He had to
His Onv Begotten Son, in the likeness of sinful man.
Oh how wonderful!
Christ was touched with the feeling of nfrmities
He was tried in all points like He had to become
man to become our Savior; angel could not do it, And
God in trying to get you to understand what He had done
uses over two hundred referring to Redeemer
He tried to get the people to understand His mission and
what the plan of redemption means.
