Court Trial on Religion

Evangelist Nicholson this afternoon, ir

Darby, made II plain that he was confident
men and women could not be saved unless
all their evil ways were given UP and
they came out solidly for Christs work
and devoted their lives to it. Women who
prefer that their daughters marry into
fine social position rather than to become
converted and humble themselves. were
attacked In his sermon, and he insisted
that they were not good followers of
Christ unless they urged their loved ones
to come out on His side at once,
Persons who live double lives also came
in for sound verbal thrashing from the
revivallst He said they must stop critl-
cising the church and the shortcomings of
others, and delve into their own sins.
PILATES DILEMMA.
His sermon was on What shall do
then with Jesus7 And they cried, Let
Him be crucifed.'" He said, In part:
'It is personal question. Your mother
cannot answer II for you. Your church,
your preacher, your father, l cannot an
swer It for you. God cannot answer 1t
for you You must come face to face
with Il and you are responsible for your
answer TO 1t. No bishop or priest can
answer Il for you.
"1t is n practical question. At the bar
of judgment God will not ask. did you
live a drunkard's life?' Did you you fol-
low the gamblers art?' How much money
did you make? BY what denomination
were you named? But the thing that will
determine your destiny forever will be
your answer to this question, What did
you do with Jesus?' God has ceased to
deal with sin and is now dealing with
sinners. What you do with Jesus will
determine what He will do with you. You
are standing in the midst of the century
and of the church, and every soul must
answer.
JOB OR CHRIST"
worldly propriety witnesses against
Christ
"A lady in the North of Ireland said to
me, Mr.. Nicholson, / don't want you to
talk conversion to my daughter I asked |
her why and she said, Well. because she
has been baptized and Joined the church. |
and / want her to marry so-and-so, and
for her to be converted would spoil her
social prospects, The young man and |
husband.elect was a wealthy brewer. and |
that woman would sell her daughters soul |
for wifehood to him. You may lose your |
job IL you take Christ.
you may be employed by whisky in |
terests, and If you have money invested in !
the business or own the building in which |
the business Is done you will have to get |
out or you will lose Christ. Yes, accepting |
Christ is against it, it is antagonistic to
that kind of prosperity. But it's Christ's
way
mo TOMORROW
you need to be saved, of course but
you think you can take your time to do
It. Wait until after that coming-out
dance. You think you have tomorrow.
Young friend. you have not got tomorrow.
A cobbler In my country once hung a |
hye-pound note in his window, under |
which he hung the words: IF any man |
wants this note let him come in tomor- |
row and he may have it, day or two |
after. early in the morning. a rapping at |
the shop aroused the cobbler. He found |
a man asking for the note He told him
to read what the notice said, and he |
read: If any man wants this note, let |
him come tomorrow Tomorrow is
eternity.
