WHAT ARE YOU Do1NG7
what do We do that others do not do?
You say ! go to church, so does the
saloonkeeper. You say, I go TO church.
so do tho girls from the red light dis
trict. You say 7 give to the collection
plate so does the brewer, but what do

your idea Is to do the thing you like to
do and the thing you don't like to do
you pass along to somebody else Well,
i nagged at her and almost had to drag
her from the platform to get her to do
something for Christ. Her husband sat
down about as far as that post there,
on one end seat. and finally she went

There are thousands OF people in
today who can be gotten for
Christ If you go and ask them to give
their hearts to him. That is the reason
we don't do more church work You go
and sit in a pew, listen to a sermon and
