Only the Spirit of God can make you realize that you
are sinner.
When you have admitted that you are a sinner may
be able to help taking the Word of God and showing
you what is necessary to get back to God.
If this afternoon sinner here to forward

inquire My friend do you want to turn from your sns?
If he to reply eyes, then should say Come let

WILL from that moment start upon the right way; and
sooner does start toward God than God starts
towards him.
DRAW NIGH UNTO GOD He WILL DRAW NIGH UNTO You
We have beautiful illustration of this truth in the
parable of the prodgal for when the poor prodga
realized his sinulness and said II will arise and go my
father and had carried his purpose into execution before
he reached home the father out to meet him.
And So sinner would rather be able to tell you that
God will and meet you than be able to tell you where
you find goldmine discover continent

count it greater joy to say to the SINFUL "God loves
you and wants you to to Him and ready to receive
you than to be able tell them anything else in this
world.
Now it is necessary for to lay good foundation
like to sinner, when he repents, sit down and
calmly review his past life going back to the time when
he arrived at the age of accountability AS in imagination

And if he is truly repenant he will make them right
Do you know ZION, that there is scarcely anything
that do that will fill his heart with joy going to
brother and making wrong right.
Oh, the peace that it brings into mans mind and
spirit to truly say II the wrong and have made it
right and thanks be unto God have received full for

Now the who does not go back and take out all
the rubbish will find sooner later that he will have
trouble therefore exhort you today to make right every
wrong that when pray be able say Father
far know, have made right every wrong. Then
the Devil cannot constantly and torment you and
make you mserable but to say this that when you
have repened of your sins and have made the wrongs
right, bury them-bury them forever
Some after having repened of their and made
them right have made the sad mistake of digging them up
from time to time and permitting Satan to them to tor

NEVER GIVE SATAN SUCH AN ADVANTAGE OVER You!
Sinner, confession is not SO hard you think it is

the wrongdoer will longer be able to go to business;
longer be able go after the pleasures of this world He
will be upon bed of affection; and then all the sins of
lifetime will rush in upon him, the voice of conscience will
cry out, and he will not be able to stife it.
There is peace to the snner There is peace to
the who does wrong There is peace to the liar
There is peace to the who defrauds
yesterday you will be miserable until is confessed You
may begin to think about business tomorrow and about
what you will do but mark what say, later the
voice of conscience which you have succeeded hush
ing for time, will compel you to sit down and listen to
every of it's accusations.
And so | say that there will be peace until you
confess-but not to mel do not want to hear your

You need to confess to except to God and the
whom you have wronged unless you need advice in order
that you may act wisely and intellgently
