ended and we shall have gone oul
way the Christians of Guthrie shoul,
continue. with increased zeal. thei
efforts TO lead sinners to the way o
salvation.
/ In the eighteenth chapter of Mat
thew. we read. Except you be con
yerted you cannot enter into tbs
Kingdom OF heaven" That was al
express declaration Of Jesus. and you
should lay aside your prejudices and
accept just what Christ taught. GOD
never made any two things. any two
men just alike. and He never con
gerted any two persons just in the
same manner. Some are influenced
by a wave OF enthusiasm; others get
into the ark OF safety in quiet way
All are saved in Gods own way.
One seeker after salvation was
asked if he had ever had his life in
sured and on replying that he had, he
vas asked how he felt when he re
ceived his policy. His answer was,
q felt that ! had done my duty" This
is just the way you will feel after you
have sought and found Gods way OF
salvation.
IF you failt perform your duty,
Il you fa:l to use your will in this mat
ter of seeking salvation. you will sure
IL find yourself outside the ark Of
safety when Gabrial blows his trumpet
IN that great last day" Jesus said to
Matthew, Follow me-" No persuas
icn Was necessary. no arguing Of the
question. The attitude OF the sinner
toward God is Usually to turn his back
to Him. But after you have turned to
Cod you love the Bible; you love Gods
people; you love the association of
Christians; you love to do the will OF
God. God has never promised you
that your feelings will be wrought up;
He has promised salvation But what
we most need is obedience to God;
children are disobedient to their
parents; parents are disobedient to-
their God, and disobedient to the laws
OF their own country. Little children
are really more obedient than we rae;
if we will just watch them we will
learn many lessons of obedience from
them.
The great trouble with many is that
they are irving to save themselves;
[ ey are trying to get salvation in some
other manner; trying to get into
heaven by some other and shorter
route. II we will learn humility; If
we will learn from our children that
trusting, loving way; if we will learn
to follow tls teachings of Jesus; If
we win only have little faith in the
plan God has established for our sal
vation; if we will just trust God
little. and have faith in few things
we may not yet understand, we Will
reach the safety of the ark. Then the
evangelist told the simple story of the
of Saul and Matthew and
explained the difference and applied
It to the conditions of people of today
and in Guthrie. "If you are willing to
become as a little child and in hnmili- |
ty and faith accept the teachings OF
Jesus, that's all you will need to OBJ
tain the forgiveness of your sins. On
will you do it?
