Omaha daily bee., 1915-10-14

man. who was the son or q personal
friend. He saw the paper lying there
and picked It up and read 81. He wrote
something on the paper and signed It and
sesled n with the royal seal and went
away.
When the young man awoke and saw
the royal seal he was afraid; but after
awhile he broke It and found that the
car had written an order on the treas
urer for the amount Of his debts.
He told his friends and on their advice
the order was presented. The treasurer
refused It when IL was offered. but they
made an appeal to the car, and he or
dered 1t paid and it was. The mountain
of debt that the young man had piled Up
was wiped away.
Paying Debts OF sin.
You may roll up the highest mountain
OF sin that a man can build, and when
you ask. who can pay all this?' an
swer Jesus, blessed Jesus! He paid my
debt"
what shall do to keep out of hell?"
BELIEVE on the Lord Jesus Christ and
thou shalt be saved"
The jailer was converted. He had put
them into the stocks when they came to
the prison, but now he stopped down and
washed the blood from their stripes.
Now. leave God out of the proposition
for minute. Never mind about the new
birth-thats His business.
Jesus Christ became a man. bone OF
our bone, flesh of our flesh. lie died on
the cross for us, so that we might es-
cape the penalty pronounced on us. Now,
never mind about anything but our part
in salvation. Here It Is:
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and
thou shalt be saved.
You say. MIR. Sunday. the church is
full OF hypocrites."
So is hell. 1 say to you If you don't
want to go to hell and live with that
whole bunch forever. come into the
church, where there are only a few Of
them, and where you went have to asso-
ciate with them very long.
There are no hypocrites in heaven. oh,
you're a wise lobster, you arel
You say, mr.. Sunday, i can be a Chris
Iian and go to heaven without joining a
church,
Yes, and you can go to Europe without
getting on board a steamer. The swim
Ining's good-but the sharks are laying
for fellows who take that route.
1 don't believe you. II man Is truly
saved he will hunt for a church right
away.
You say, ITS SO mysterious. ] don't
understand. If you are going to refuse
to accept anything you can't understand,
you'll be surprised to find out how little
you know.
You plant seed In the ground-that's
your part. You don't understand how II
grows. How God makes that seed grow
is mysterious to you How God turns
out muscle and sinew is mysterious.
don't understand 1t. My part Is to eat
the grub-that's all. 1t doesn't make any
difference whether 1 understand 1t OF
even think of 1t.
How God saves me 1 don't know. That's
Gods part. Stop butting into Gods part
and take care of your own.
Outside of the phyisicians-and some OF
them may not know much about it-few
of us have any idea at all as to how the
body assimnates food. Food isn't mys'
tery-its assimilation is. Don't insist on
knowing more about 1t than about any
thing else in life.
Duty to Get EN- In.
The jailer believed, and was baptized
/ am not here to preach baptism.
My position as an evangelist is like
that of a recruiting officer in the army
His one duty is to get 'em in. He goes
out on the street and gets them, then he
looks at their teeth and tests their mus
cles and tries their wind and gets them
started.
After that another officer drills them
Hep! hep! hep! hep! hepl
1 only get them started. That's all Tn
here for. It's up to the preachers to drill
them.
All the doctor can do-you'n have to
nurse the baby He can't. In other words
Just do your part.
You Have yellow streak.
You must do as God tells you. II the
doctor should give you prescription and
you shouldn't use it, but should take same
stuff of your own, you couldn't blame the
doctor il you didn't get well.
If we could fix up a little scheme OF
salvation of our own II would please us
but there is only one way to be saved
and that is Gods way.
What shall / do TO be saved? BelieY,
on the Lord Jesus Christ, in your hear
and confess Him with your mouth anC
you will be saved
God is good The plan of salvation Il
presented to you In two parts. Believe il
your heart and confess with your mouth
Many of you here probably do believe
Why don't you confess? Now own up
The truth is that you have yellow
streak.
Own up. business men and business
women, and all of you others. Isn't i
SO? Haven't you got little saffron?
Brave old Elijah ran like a scared dee
when he heard old Jezebel had said sh
would have his head, and he beat it, AM
he ran to Beersheba and lay down unde
Juniper tree and cried to the Lord L
let him die.
The Lord answered his prayer, but no
i'm the way he expected. If lie had lie
him die he would have died with nothin
but the wind moaning through the tree
as bis funeral dirge.
But the Lord had something better 10
Elijah. He had chariot of fire and {
swooped down and carried him into glor,
without him ever seeing death.
You Must show COIors.
So lie says lie has something bette
for yCu-salvation-if He can get you {,
see it.
