YOU CAN'T DO WRONG. AND
GET AWAY WITH IT-JONE,

Al his Big Sunday afternoon mems
meeting Bob Jones chose the old text,
BE sure your SINS viii md you out. "
his text in modern phrasing means,
You cant do wrong and set away
with it.
\ man cannot play with fire with
gut getting burned A>man cannot
play with sin without bearing the
marks OF his wreng doing Jones re
lated the we'll known episode of the
great painter who portrayed the
Last Supper He sought fer long

countenancs sufficiently resembled
Christ to pose as model. Thea for
years afterward he sought fer med

found such man Alter the artist

his countenance, his body, and his
soul that he was fiji medel for Judas

his thought and the channels OF
thought which once flowed through
clear and unobstructed channels pass
through muddy and polluted course,
shaping the mans actions through the
filth of his thoughts. AS a man think
eth, SO he is.
Some men are said to be conserva-
tive sinners. They get away with
their evil for awhile, they cover it up
for short space OF time. There was
once young man who thought he
could ride notorious outlaw horse
He was repeatedly warned to dis
mount after he had started his ride
But at first he had perfect control
over his mount and things went along
smoothly and the young fool was very
proud of himself. Then the fiery ami

and raced through the open fields UNI
til he came. to precipice and pluns-
ing over killing both himself and his
rider
You who are reading this are in
that mans place. The man who has
already plunged into the depths Of
sin never read this kind OF article in
a newspaper. Many of you who are
reading this are perhaps net yet con

many have already mounted You are
cantering along Shining conserva-

yourself speeding up and then you
will be beyond help. Get right this
week.
Bob Jones is gone, but on Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday the loca'
ministers will preach special sermons
in their own pu1pits. Make good use
OF this opportunity. Dismount before
