MEN ARE MISSED
OUT Of HEAVEN
Rev. James L. Gardiner Says
God Can't Get Along With
out Children.

God can't get along without us
and we are all missed in heaven,
just as the prodigal son was missed
by his father" said Rev. James l..
Gardiner i'm his closing sermon last
night. The Lost Sheep. the Lost
Coin. the Lost Boy" at the st.
PauTs Memorial NJ f. church.
At the conclusion of the meeting
all those who had failed TO come
forward during the meeting were
asked 10 sign their names to the
cards with the words: II accept
Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour
and by His grace Will endeavor TO
live a Christian life"
Let this little motto go with us
during the next week" said the min
lister. land let every member Of the
parish make a special canvass OF
his neighborhood People are just
waiting for Christian folks 10 give
their names 70 Jesus"
Special services will he held next
Wednesday evening The sermon
on Sunday morning will be First
Thing First" The sermon Sunday
evening will be illustrated and the
following topic will be treated: "Jud-
as Betrays His Lord VS.. Abraham, -
and Faithful VS.. Faithless."
After reading the parable in the
scriptures Of the lost sheep out of
the hundred. the lost boy out Of two
and the lost coin out Of 10, the
minister said in part:
IT want to say that the Good
Shepherd is out tonight in South
Bend and will be out every night
until all are found. The highest ex-
preston Of love is sacrifice; Christ
loved us so much that He gave up
His life in order that He might save
US. Christ gave His life in order
that He might find us and bring US
back TO the fold.
Take the parable Of the women
with 10 coins that she wore as a
necklace: she sweeps the house un-
I'll she finds il and then calls in her
neighbors TO rejoice with her. SO
Christ has said there is great Joy in
heaven over the return Of one soul
70 God There are many men in
South Bend who are in the best Of
society who don't know that they
are lost
Young people. the first sin com
mitted was that Of Ungratefulness.
Young folks never seem 10 appTeci-
ate the work OF their parents, for
they want whatever they can get.
Just like the son who went out, in
the Biblical story 10 spend his
money i'm riotout living and when
everything good was gone. the spirit
OF him broke and he went home.
To my mind the principal thing is
that. it's not that YOU are lost,
but that YOU are missed by God. II
we do not return the parable teaches
us another part. simply that we are
lost"
