He mas walked through IOchSQ
doors into your presence; he has come
into your chamber where you slept,
he has come to you in the office. He
is the unavoidable Christ"
Then he asked, ''Why do you hold
aloof from him? Why avoid him, since
every man must come to Christ or be
forever lost?''
Billy Sunday told his audience Of
twenty thousand persons Tuesday
night something Of what he expected
| to do and say when he goes to heaven.
Where is Abraham? 1 want to
see him.
He'll Meet Abraham's Family.
They'll take me over to where he
is and, after I've shaken hands with
him and chatted awhile, I'll ask:
Where are your boys?' And he'll
| take me around and introduce me to
Isaac, and I'll say:
'Howdy-do, Isaac, where is jacob
And when they bring Jacob to me I'll
say:
"'WeII, well, Jacob, I'm mighty glad
to see you. 1 used to preach about
you a lot down on earth; and. then
Joseph11 come up, and I'll say:
Hello, Joseph; say, old man, that
was a rough deal they tried to put
over on you down there in Egypt,
when that woman tried to tempt you
and you looked her square in the face
and pushed her away. Say, Joseph, I
like you
Some More He'll See.
'Tll walk all over Gods heaven, and
think of the people I'll meet there:
Noah, Moses, Isaiah, Daniel, Jeremiah,
Paul, John, Peter, James, Samuel,
Martin Luther, Spurgeon, Calvin,
Moody Oh, heaven is a place where
there will be grand and noble people
and all who believed in Jesus will be
there.
Think of sitting down on the bank
of the river with Peter, James and
John, Andrew, Phillip and the others
and hearing from them again and
again all the incidents they witnessed
in the life of Jesus.
"Think of Knowing Mary!"
Think of knowing Mary, the mother
of Jesus, as well as you know your
own mother, and of having her init
mate friends, Martha and Mary and
Lazarus of Bethany, and Mary Mag
dalene, and the unknown disciples
who on the first Easter morning walk
ed with their risen Lord on the way
to EmmausI
You Wanted to Go Quickly.
When you heard Billy Sunday tell it
you almost wanted to go right away,
it seemed so real; and 184 men and
women to make sure they wouldn't
miss it, came out from the throng of
twenty thousand and started On the
Christian road that leads straight to
the wicket gate.
Sundays sermon at night was the
same he preached in the afternoon;
about the second coming of Christ
with scriptural texts and prophecies
to back him up in all he said, he told
the assembled muItitudes, twelve
thousand in the afternoon, twenty
thousand at night, that:
"This cid world is going to wake up
some morning and find all the Chris
tian people gone out of it; and not
only that, but every grave where be-
lever on Christ was buried will have
been opened and the bodies gone"
When Jesus Comes Again.
That would be when Jesus came a
second time. He was scheduled to
come three times. He came first 1916
years ago, when he taught and was
: crucif1ed. No one knows when he
: will come the second time, but it will
be as soon as enough men and women
have been converted to make up and
| -
he will come, in the body, but unbe
levers will not see him nor know he
. has come, and all believers will be
caught up to meet him in the air, and
he will take them away with him to
heaven.
Take All Christians Out.
The world will then be without q
Christian in it, the devil will have
full sway, it will be a time of great
tribu1ation. At the close of that pc
riod, which may continue or 20 OF
: 700 years, Jesus will return to eartE
again, bringing all who believed or
: him with him; he will bind the devi
