II doesn't pay 10 commit n sin. a man
has to pay for IL in physical suffering.
/ don't care what a r.. I have had
I young men and Young women come to

n you will start out and eliminate from
! the world all diseases which arc caused
by sin you will be dumfounded to find
| out how little disease will remain
viii grant you the disease may be
hereditary. You may have some physi-
cal defect. not because YOU broke any
moral law but because your father or
mother, or your grandfather or your
great-grandfather did. and God visits
tho iniauitles OF the parents unto the
third end fourth generations OF them that
hate Him
agree with you that II may BE- the re-
suit Of accident. Lots Of people have 10
bear some physical defect or disease as
the result Of accident I have known Of
cancer TO be brought on by accident
have known people to be afflicted because
Il will 20 down from generation 20 gen.
GRAFTON. yet after all Is said. II you will
eliminate from the world all disease and
suffering which are the result OF sin.
you would be dumfounded TO find out
how little disease would remain, and "
people would only quit SHINING, and go
TO serving God you could eliminate two
thirds Of the disease In the world. So you
have to nay for IT,
But that IL not all. Something else has
TO suffer. That Is your good name.
/ Others might call It your character
Sin win breed an ulcer ia your charac-
ter. don't think rotten body is half
ms bad as rotten character. I would
rather have my body a mass OF corrup-
ton. with a good clean name. than TO
stand up with a perfect physical body ana
a rotten name and character. SO you
have to suffer In your name, In your
character for &C.
You Cannot Hide SIN.
A lie poisons your moral blood. A man
can't cheat another man in business that
! he doesn't pay for It. You can't lie with
out you suffer for IL.
| No man can sin or do wrong that he
! doesn't have to suffer for II. Wrong a
man in his wages and you viii have TO
/ suffer for It. Wrong q man with his
wife and you will have 70 suffer for It.
/ Wrong a woman with her husband and
| you VIII have 90 suffer for II.
| You can't read an impure book that you
| don't suffer for II, and / have made It
/ rule 10 never read book that Is impure.
| II is fight and q struggle all the way
\ through
I'll tell you another way they find YOU
out. In your conscience You can't hide
from yourself.
Now hear me! Man IL so constituted
that when he does wrong he knows Il.
You know you swore. You know YOU
He'd You know you committed adul-
tery. ~
I We are 10 constituted that when we
( sin we know we naye stunned and that
means elf-condemnation. II Il wonder
full when We stop to think Of Il, that
we are so constituted In our makeup by
the wisdom OF God that when we sin
we know IT,
a man Gays: ''oh. hate myself to
think got drunk. TO think stole"
That means self-condsfnhation, for he
knows he did wrong. That Is your hope.
J, You ought 10 think God that you know
you have Elnned. 4s
Oh the people in this city that are
I suffering untold agony! There is no ply
steal torment that can equal or touch
that OF an accusing conscience. No
amount of prosperity. no amount of love,
no intoxication. nothing yop can do. no
place you can visit will ever drown the
consciousness than you are a sinner.
Who can describe His ayenging power
whom Il comes TO seif-condemnation7 II
will startle old Herod into midnight ter
ror as he dreams that John the Baptist
has arisen from tho dead.
Conscience II will hound and dog the
traitor Judas to his grave and when
every other faculty has COMO over 20 tho
devil conscience stands true to truth and
true TO God and says: you are sin
ner'
so that u what God wants TO do with
you. II win find you out There is not
a man or woman here tonight who docs
not know when he or she sins
no Not Fear sin.
Would II not be great TO be the son of
President ROOSEVELT Would It not be
great 10 be tho son OF Emperor Will
liam? Would II not he great TO be the
son Of King Edward viz Would Il not
be great TO be the son OF the car OF

Would II not be great 10 be a son OF a
great manG Wouldn't Il be great to be
