The sermon of the EVANGELIST was
strong one. The evidences of the good
effect of the address OF the evangelist
We're apparent throughout the sery-
ice, the closest attention being given
TO his words ~ the CIese uf e. - SER

for prayers.
Tho text of the sermon was BE nor
deceived. Gcd is not MCcked. for what
soever man soweth that shall he also
reap" Galatians. 81 Mr. Faulconer
quoted Mr.. Moody rs saying that that
statement was true whether it was in
the Bible or not. 1t is easy to deceive
each other, our fathers and mothers.
our husbands and wives: it is easy 10
deceive ourselves. One of the worst
strokes Of the devil is TO make us be-
lieve that we can deceive Cod But
God is not Knocked"
God Eees to il, !" said the evangelist.
that the law of sowing and reaping
holds true in the physical world 1T is q
mercy to us that he does Suppose
that If nan sowed wheat it were
possible for him to get some other SORT
Of harvest. But no, God sees to 1t that

not make pancakes out OF asparagus
How careful we ought TO be abou
the kind of seed we SOW. There never
was bigger piece Of foolishness tnau
that old f1llacy about owing slid

wild oats, they say Well then he

The evangelist showed now this Law

Does God aold us responsible for
sins of ignorance? Suppose nan

medicine; he Just as surely die as If
he had taken the poison purpo2elv
Men ask why a soul should die
forever for the sins of this brief life
II would take man less than half q
minute to shoot another man dead
The judge would commit him TO prison
for life Would it be logical to argue
that the crime had taken but a bries
half minute and that the punishment
ought. therefore, not be prolonged 1t
is not the length of time one spends
in sin that makes it sinful, but the sin
itself Adam ate the apple when he
was told net to do it. No person can
disobey God without punishment You
are as much of Q thief if you beat the
railroad out Of five cents as you would
be if YOU robbed bank of $4,000 l.
is the stealing that counts against you
and not the amount you steal
The sin of many people is the re-
lection of Jesus Christ as their Sa-
slour. TO make a Christian profession
might not make any change in their
habits, or conduct but it would put
them in a right relationship with God
their Saviour
The reaping Of sinful sowing Is
hell. II is illogical to SOW one mar
vest and expect another The laws OF
chemistry are .unalterable. Certain
effects are sure to follow certain
causes. The law Of the spiritual
kingdom is as Interchangeable as tnat OF
the world in which We live.
The Bible teaches that God is faith
, ful to His PROMISES and there arr SON
people who say that they believe it.
Just so ought they believe every

ought TO rest on the promises Of Cod /;
we ought else run from the threats
