years OF age penned up with hardened
criminals The laws age limit In MI
nois Is 10 years. l don't know what II
is In Omaha, but IN Illinois the law
holds that when you are 10 years old
you are old enough TO know right from
wrong. Some fool mothers and preach
ers say that a child OF that age Is too
young to be a Christian. II you say that
you are a big idiot a child who knows
right from wrong is old enough to be a
Christian, no matter how young It may
be. l have heard preachers say that
children OF about that age are too young
TO accept Christ, but I say that the idea
comes from the devil.
Knockers Are Of the Devil.
Have you ever found any flaw In
Jesus Christ? Did Jesus Christ ever
do anything that dishonored God7 Put
your finger on a single thing that was
unworthy OF the Son OF God--I chal-
lenge youi Did He ever knock anything
that was good? MOI Did He ever lie
about anytifngG MOI Did He ever lie
about anybody? No! Did He ever turn
His back on anyone In trouble? MOI
Wherever He went homes were made
hammer. lives were made brighter and
men and women were made purer. Can
YOU find any fault with that? Mol Then
II you are a church member ana are
knocking this campaign you are OF the
devil.
Jesus Christ never did harm TO any
one. He cured the blind and the deaf
and the lame, and He helped a great
many who never even asked Him to
help them. He never turned anyone
away from Him except the rich young
ruler. One OF the things that makes
me curious about what heaven Is like.
l want TO see what that young man
missed. Jesus Christ said that God loves
everybody and everything and that He
proved It. Can you find any fault in
that? II you can. take down your sign
as a man.
Turns SORROW To Joy.
! Jesus Christ never went to n funeral.
| He never followed a hearse or a dead
body TO the grave. He never preached
a funeral sermon. That was out OF His
line. He came that we might have life
and that more abundantly. Moody once
was asked TO preach a funeral sermon
! and he took UP his Bible to see what
Jesus had said on an occasion like that.
He found. he said, that Jesus had never
| preached q sermon at a funeral, but
that He broke up every funeral He ever
attended by restoring the dead to life.
! He always turned a house OF sorrow into
one Of happiness and Joy. Don't you
wish that Jesus had been there when your
little baby died7 Don't you wish that He
hoa
away forever and left you with that little
brood to care for? Don't you wish He
had been there when your mother was
taken from you?
Are you in favor of anything Jesus
Christ is against? Has anyone done you
wrong? Jesus Christ is against t.
Are you? II you are His, you are. He
Ii against all wrong. Has anyone cheated
or defrauded you? Jesus Christ Is against
whoever did it. Has anyone ever lied
about YOU? Jesus is against them. Are
you in favor of honestly So Is Jesus
Christ. DO you think that labor should
have Its Just due from those who en-.
| ploy? SO does Jesus Christ Do you be-
heSe that capital should have a square
! deal? So does Jesus Christ He il for
! absolutely fair play. The principles OF
Jesus Christ will make capital and labor
shake hands. There is no question. social
or business. or war that cannot be settled
by the principles OF Jesus. There neve,
was squarer dealer on earth than Jesu,
Christ. He gives everybody a square deal
HITS the Pharisees.
DO you believe that there ought TO be
thirty-six inches to every yards. 1000
pounds to the ton, sixteen ounces TO the
