SAW SOUL IN HE'LL.
"When ! was preaching in a town in
Iowa u woman came to me and told me
there was n girl back in the audience
who was weeping and asked me to come
back. I went and found n beautiful girl
with hair like the ravens wing and a
straight rose and pearly teeth. Her tears
only enhanced her beauty. / asked her
what was the matter, II she had any
thing she didn't want to give up. She
said there was not. DO YOU believe, %
She saiu she did. Well, is there any one
YOU won't forEive?' She said: Mr.. Sun-
day, don't ask me to forgive him I
said | don't ask YOU, God asks YOU
She said. | can't I said: 'You won't.
She lust looked at mo and said: i cunt
! looked back and SAID: YOU WON'T
She Jumped to her feet and brushed the
tears away aud Clenched her fist and her
bosom swclled and she said: Then /
won't | looked into her face and /
saw n vision OF a soul in he'll.
"If she had let Jesus in she would have
been willing to forgive. If you let God
into your heart all hate will go out of it.
Forgive and forget it. If YOU wish to pay
the price of a Goddess life. go on. will
admit you will lose some things by be-
coming n Christian ana perhaps you
might gain some things by not becoming
n Christian. But the man that totes
square with God Almighty will get along.
AT another town in Iowa there was a
public sChoOlteaCher and another woman
who had had n scrap. They had split
the Presbyterian church in two, for It

her why she didn't fix it up. She said
that she hadn't started It. Mrs. II. had
started 1t. Then go down and ask her
to forgive you She said ir she did Mrs.
II, would take delight in ordering her
from tho house. Don't so alone I told
her and named three to go with her.
GO ask her to forgive YOU and If she
refuses then let her go to the devil, as
Matthew tells you in the ninth chapter
She went and Mrs. L. was more than
glad to make "A reconciliation They
telephoned me and / called the chief
usher and told him to save two seats, for
Miss C.. and Mrs. f. were coming to the
tabernacle together that evening by my
request, So he saved the seats and at 3
o'clock sharp they came down the
aisle with locked arms. oh, YOU ought
to have heard the buzzing in the audi
cnce that night! They sat down on the
front row and as l looked in their faces
that nlEht | saw a vision of souls IN
heaven. God says If we forgive others
He will forgive you.
IF you are unwilling to make n sacri-
flee, there's nothing to 1t. If you are
unwilling to make a sacrifice. and go to
hell, you can 20. / believe there are
church members in Philadelphia who are
unwilling to throw out the cards and the
booze even though they know they Will
make their sons gamblers and drunkards
"If l had my way, I'd have every pack
of cards on earth and every drop OF
beer In hell before midnight. oh. |
don't care for your applause unless you
are willing to crystalline 1t into action.
'If Jesus comes in, pride, appearing
what you are not, sinful pleasures, greed,
lust, go out. When Jesus comes in II you
are holding an office you haven't been
elected TO. you'll resign.
II read a story and 1t seemed incredible
to me until / learned the source. The
mother had Just died and the father
was sitting before the fire that night
with his head in his hands when his
son came down stairs. Where are YOU
going?' his father asked. 20, down the
street; I won't be gone long Don't CO.
his father pleaded. This Is the first
night In 40 years your mother hasn't
been here at night and | think the quiet
ness will kill me I made this date
some time ago. was the reply, and
I've got to keen it. ] won't be gone
long. I'm going The old man ran TO
the door and lay down in front of ii and
said: New, please don't go, if you do
YOU Will ave to step over my body.
and incredible as II seems the boy stepped
over his fathers body and walked out
of the door.
God has planted in front of You the
Bible. He has placed In front OF you
the cross. on the floor lies the bleeding
body of His Son. Surely you will not
step over them.
"And that's what you will have to do
II Won 20 to hell. You have to step
over the cross, the church, mother
father, sermons, everything that has been
for your good, for God is trying to block
the way to hell.
" rBchold I stand at the door and
knock
Let Him In, won't you?"
