Jesus christ Alone Gives salvation.
The aRe-lonE cry OF the human heart
has been for the revelation OF a super
natural Saviour. The cry was heard from
the day Of Job down through the cen
turtles
How does Il happen you never hear Of
any man being saved by Plato. Emerson,
Carlyle or any other man? No. Never
by any one but Jesus Christ why?
I'll tell you. Because Jesus Christ il
the son Of God. That's truN. The Bible
says so. and it's true. When any man
stands up and praises Jesus just as a
good man. but denies His divinity, it's
an insult to God. 1 say to him that no
Is insulting God. I say to him that he
lie insulting Almighty God.
All men must die-and after death the
judgment. We all must die. Our lives
may be snuffed out in a moment or we
may die after lingering illness. but wen
all die some time. that's sure
We don't know when II will be; IL may
be tonight; so isn't II good sense to ao-
cept Jesus now7 Why. certainly.
| can't understand-on my soul 1 can't
understand-why men won't accept Christ.
preach TIL I'm tired and my voice Is
all worn out, and am troubled and can't
sleep, and 1 can't understand why any
man refuses to come TO Jesus. l can't
understand why II should be necessary
20 plead with people to accept Jesus
Christ and live a. He would have them
live.
Heathens Believe I'm a Judgment.
All the heather nations believe in a
judgment. Isn't that queer? Can you I'M
derstand It? II IL to appease his gods
that the Indian snake dancer dances while
he wreathes himself with writing
snakes. II is his hope that those snakes
will find their way down to the bowels
OF the earth and placate the gods he wor-
ships and before whom he has got TO
stand judgment.
The Aztec prepared his altar Of stone
and laid his daughter upon It and sacri-
feed her. IL was his hope that her blood
would be accepted as a sacrifice by his
god and that no would be saved in judg.
ment.
Il was because Of this belief In judR-
ment that the Hindu mother takes her
baby down TO the banks of the Ganges
and raises It Rloft and throws ii into the
yawning jaws OF the horrid crocodiles
| who live in the filthy river she thinks
sacred. She hopes that her god will ac-
cept her baby's life as a sacrifice and that
she will be saved
These heather people do these things
because they believe In a judgment and
want TO escape II.
You are trying to bride God with cul-
ture and philanthropy. Ii you don't be-
lieve in the Judgment you are lower down
than the heather. II you have any sense
you won't want to face the judgment UNI
saved. ! don't want anything to do with
IL that way, myself.
Captain ArkwriRht assembled the Alps
In Switzerland and he slipped and fell
into rift In a glacier and met deaths
They could not find his body.
Thirty years after they found his body
there where II had fallen. II was not de-
cayed. but was just as 1t was when he
met his death. His watch was there, his
pocketbook was there. Everything was
as 1t had been thirty years before.
So, in the judgment everything will be
preserved just at II was on earth. and
will be revealed before the sight of God.
Decide where 20 spend Eternity.
A doctor called me into his office and
said; "Bli. 1 want to show you the "
ray" He took a pin and placed It in the
middle of an unabridged dictionary. and
with the X-ray could see It there.
could see his backbone. with the bones
branching out He showed me his skull
through II. and / could look right through
his feet and see the nails in his shoes.
saw the outline of living organism,
and II was his heart.
That was wonderful. but God will see
more clearly at the Judgment. Nothing
will be hidden from Him.
You are going to live forever. some
where. Don't forget that. Death Is net
an eternal sleep. II / knew that there
was no hell I'd live just the same kind
OF life that am now, because OF the
peace OF mind. the happiness that comes
in this world. to say nothing OF the next
You are going to live forever In heaven
or you are going to live forever in hell.
There's no other place-Just the two.
II Is for you 70 decide. It's up to you.
And you must decide now. while you
are alive. You can't go 20 heaven unless
YOU repent. and the only chance you'n
ever have to repent Is in this life.
It's true that there Is heaven. but
Il isn't for everybody. II is a place set
apart for those who believe In Jesus
Christ. II you die in your sins you can't
get into heaven. Never. NO sinner can
enter there. 1t wasn't made for sinners
that's all
Those facts ought to inspire everybody.
l never could understand why It is neces-
sary TO have TO work hard to get people
to go 10 heaven. Just the promises OF
God should make people want to sesve
Him.
It's true that there is hell. Jesus
talked more about hell than He did
about heaven-didn't try to describe 1t to
us at ALI He Just said; TN my Fathers
house are many mansions. 20 to pre-
pare place for you II It were not 30 /
would not have told you"
But Jesus said great deal about hen
He said hell Is everlasting.

where there Is a grave yawnIng for you.
You may not mi It until you are 40 or
until you are 30 years old, but remember
that the power that brings us into the
world can take US out just as easily.
SO don't let sin govern and control
your heart / am going 10 heaven soma
