MENACE TO THE coy.

tFrom the speech of Congressman
Garrett OF Texas. in behalf Of the
Hobson resolution.)
Il am not afraid of the blind tiger

mahogany tables in the high class beer

serve nice little drinks with fruit stick

Our Lord enforces his exhortation
by describing that day. adding: For
many. say unto you. will seek TO en-
Ter In and shall not be able" The
longsuffering Of God towards men
will some day have an end. 1t will be
the day when our Lord shall come
again, and we know not how soon II
may be. The throne OF grace will be
removed then and the throne of judg.
ment set up in Its place. II is awful
TO think that men who are now re-
jecting the blood OF the Lamb will
then be exposed to the wrath OF the
Lamb
But the most astounding part Of il
is that so many in that day will find
themselves to have been self.deceived.
In this place in Luke, and in the
parallel plac' in Matthews Gospel,
Christ calls attention to four kinds of
self-deception. He speaks OF those
who have been his guests. so to speak,
eating and drinking In his presence;
he speaks OF those who have listened
TO his teachings; of those Who have
taught his word. and of those who
have wrought his signs. None of these
on that account merely have any claim
upon his blessing In the life to come.
