unto me if preach not the Gospely'
THE TRUE MINISTER is D1vINELY CHOSEN AND CALLED
If did not believe in a Divine call to the Ministry,
would not be in it, and when it is woe unto if he
breaches not the Gospel then he will amount something's
but if it is not that, he will amount to nothing.
The idea that man has just much a call to be a
blacksmith he has call to the Gospel Ministry is absurd
When mans natural ncnatons to be something else
struggles years fighting convictions and at last
either he must yield go into despair that means some
thing to man. but when has paid the price, that
has started upon which, if he pursues it, will
land him in Heaven at last.
CHRIST WENT FROM PEREA TO BETHANY TO FACE AND
CONQUER DEATH
So Jesus the Christ went back into Judea though He
knew it would mean His DEATH
The disciples were afraid they gave Jesus counsel
Counsel all right if it is the right kind of COUNSEL but
is all wrong if it is the wrong kind of counsel You follow
the lives like Martin Luther why his friends begged
him time and again to fighting the Pope They said
to him, You will down sure He replied eff God has
begun this fight, let it go and do not Interfere And
there has been yet who has had sense
SPECIAL mission who has not had to combat the devil and
all the demons and all humanity keep from turning aside;
and the majority of them have turned aside
What joy if finish his life in fufilment of
his CALL and he does will be in spite of the devil and all
of the demons and of many of his relatives and socaed
friends.
"H1s Truth SHALL BE THY SHIELD AND BUcKLER."-
PSALM 81 a
There who would compromise with the
devil and everything else rather than have conflict but
will not and that is the am where today.
When I stood on the platform in Australia, Mr.

you allow any Victoria to die without the aid of
DOCTOR you will to prison for three years. looked at
him and sad 81 will obey God if they burn me at the
stake And obeyed God, and they did not burn at
the stake
The who never compromises is the man whom God
will sustain You Australians know how they used to wait
for there and how they said that they would have
in the penitentary but they got in JAIL and
right during fight put out the bulletin board Medical
prisoners and surgical butchers who poisoning
dering people by hundreds"
THE DISCIPLES AFRAID OPPOSITION
The disciples said to Jesus Master the Jews of late
sought to stone Thee and goest Thou hher again That
was statement of who afraid The disciples
were afraid of their safety When people always
saying to man, Now would not do this and that would
be quiet and would not make any fussI tell you ZoN
wherever wrong lifting up her head will protest even
if all my friends tell me not to do
LIGHTS ADVANTAGE OVER DARKNESS
want you to get the eighth and ninth into your
minds Jesus answered. care there not twelve the

and is business do work while the daytime lasts
BECAUSE if there is thing left undone when the daytime
closes, you will not be able to do it.
Jesus had His daytime and Jesus also had His night
and thanks be unto God before the night He lifted
His eyes to His Father and said 81 have glored Thee
the earth have finished the work which Thou gavest
to do" John 17:4)
May God help us, and ALL to be able to say, we
speak the last goodbye Father have finished the work
which Thou hast given to d." and then you will have
great joy.
CHRIsT's DEFINITION OF DEATH
"But if walk in the night he stumbleth, because
there light in him. These things spake He and after
this He saith unto the Our friend Lazarus fallen asleep
but go that may awaken him out of Sleep
This definition of death given BEFORE and
even the Apostles did not understand it, Before Christ
came death death, it something horrible Oh the
horrors of DEATH And how afraid people of
dying and the moment they get little SICK OH how afraid
they that they going de The who has made
his peace with Cod and who has clear conscience is not

"Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep The disciples

necessity for You to back there and risk getting hit
with stone perhaps killed Why do You want to if
