to make good"
Clergymen who do not believe in the
devil again came in for some hard blows
The evangelist said:
Whenever you find preacher who
doesn't believe in the devil you will see
him crawl up in the pulpit and go TO
sleep like dog. But when a revival
comes along, and the church of God gets
busy, You will always find that the devil
gets busy, too. So. wherever you find
somebody who does not believe in the
devil you can bank on It that they have
the devil in them bigger than wood
chuck
when the Holy Spirit descended at
Pentecost the devil didn't DO thing but
go around and say that these fellows
were drunk. Then Peter got UP and made
him mad by saying that It was too early
in the day. They had some sense In those
days; II was unreasonable to find them
drunk at the third hour. But now the
fools sit up all night to booze. Oh, we
shall always have fight with the DEVIL
for victory only comes after a fight"
Continuing to show that Christians must
be everlastngly busy to defeat Satan, the
evangelist caused laughter when he said:
THE devil Is no fool; he is on the job
He has been practcng for 5000 years and
he has never had appendicitis, rheuma-
tism, tonsilitls or any other disease. If
you get to playing tag with the devil
he'll beat you every clip. Prove that
YOU are a Christian by your acts.
"a fellow says, 4 am Christian and
hc eoos out and plays cards, drinks
champagne and beer, and goes to the
theatre | don't care what you say, you
are a liar You don't act like Christian. |
Here's a man who says he tells the truth. |
but put him on the witness stand and |
he'd lie like n race horse. Jesus was the /
SON of Man. He was man at the climax. |
Jesus Crept into the world through the |
arms of motherhood, and was cared for !
az any other baby, protected from the |
sword of TIcrod, the same as you would |
protect your baby, and they took Jesus
nto the temple the eighth day and He |
&as circumcised, according to the Mosaic
aw. lie grew tired and needed sleep the
'ame as YOU"
