VIEWS OF BOY ON SUNDAY


not resort much to slang but he used
the most beautiful and forceful Eng
fish imaginable. For every statement
he had numerous SMILES and meta
phors. He stated each thought SO
that person in every walk of life
might be able to understand it.
In urging upon the young people
the necessity of not starting wrong,
Mr.. Sunday cited the case of one of
the most ardent Christian men among
his acquaintance. He said:
"There was man who had always
lived goddess life. One day he had
to take a long railway journey, and
he bought book from the station
agent to pass away the time On the
first page he saw he statement, That
if a man falls off tall building, he
is as much lost after he has fallen
the first ten stories as he is when
he hits the ground Ever after that,
the man has lived one of the purest,
noblest, cleanest Christian lives that
| know of anywhere.
Billy was getting warmed up by
this time, and he went on, "There are
my soul just the same as there are
eternal truths which have to do with
my body.
CIT IS TRUE THAT THE BIBLE
is THE WORD OF GOD! The Bible
has stood the test of time There has
been more opposition to it than to any
other book. Every man who lives a
bad life opposes the Bible 1t is
opposed by philosophy and science
Every thief, thug, liar, saloon-keeper,
anarchist, nihilist, crook, and drunk
ard has been against the Bible. Ana
yet it falls from the press like leaves
from the trees in the fall! If you
don't read the Bible, don't pray to
God when you wake up in hell,
"Why was the Bible written? That
might believe in Jesus Christ. There
fore, use it for what it was meant.
A loaf of bread and brick may look
alike, but you get into trouble wher
you try to make them exchange
places. The Bible was no more made
to study chemistry than a crowbai
was manufactured for a tooth pick.
A man that does that is a bonehead;
he is like fellow who steals second
with the bases full and no one out!
The Bible was written to convert
sinners. That's what it should be
used for. | know when | went TO

wasn't trying to learn the chemistry
of a buckweat cake. A man doesn't
use railway time table to learn how
to cook bread; he uses it to learn
how and when to get to his destina-
ton. just so, it is as necessary to
have the Bible to believe in Jesus as
it is to have eyes to see, ears to hear.
and lungs to breathe. A man who
has travelled over the same railroad
for many years will know how to go
almost without schedule. Likewise.
man who reads the Bible will get
along a whole lot better and easier
than the man who doesn't.

know about religion, read the Bible
Christianity has swept over every
thing. Young people, don't think it's
an evidence of superior intelligence to
doubt the Bible. | would give fame

my mother what she was | can't
save you; you can't save me; we
can't save ourselves; we have to have
somebody to save US. What are we
going to do?"
Here Mr.. Sunday painted terrible
picture of what physical torture
heathens subject themselves to in
order to save themselves from perdi
ton. Billy continued, running bacl
and forth across the platform in his
eagerness.
"The Bible was written to save us
The first promise in the Bible is sal
walton. The first thing we want in
this present war is salvation. The
last thing We'll ever need is saliva
ton. Tell me, how is it that since
the world began we have never heard
Aristotle, Demosthenes, Shakespeare,
Coleridge, Spenser, and all the other
great writer's? Tell me? Who can?
Nobody! All right. No man was ever
saved except by Jesus Christi" Here
Mr.. Sunday ended in a pose such as
baseball player makes when he
throws the ball. Suddenly breaking
the tension, he started on a new tack.
"All nations, heather or otherwise,
believe in judgment. That is why
all heather nations have a plan OF
salvation for their people. The Bible
was written so that we might escape
the judgment. We decide our own
future in this world. 1t is true that
there is a heaven-a place where the
redeemed go. No man will ever go
there who is opposed to Jesus. The
Bible says that there is both heaven
and hell.
"The Power that brought US into life
pushes us through life, and reveals
our fate to us in the judgment. God
lets everyone choose to be loyal or
not to Him. Everyone will find out
that what God has revealed about
Heaven and hell is true. He will
Judge US by the Bible. 1t is law
which tells what we can do and what
we can't do But what good is law
without a penalty?
"God has government. We are
all subjects. Here is his law-the
