Interesting Sermon
At Tent Sunday Night

invited to the kindG's wedding and
appeared without wedding garment.
The man had a chance to get we'd
ding garment and refused it. so the
king called his servants and had him
bound hand and foot and cast into
outer darkness. The parable is sym
bolical Of what will happen to any
man who tries 10 enter heaven, to
Gods eternal feast. without potting
the garments of Christianity around
hts heart.
Rev. R NJ. Mann offered the eve
ming prayer after some beautiful sing
ing by the choir. Loren G.. Jones
thanked Mr.. Bradshaw Nor lending
the fine piano which is being used.
He announced that Saturday night
would be Cotton Mill night, at which
service all the cotton mill employees
would be special guests.
In explaining why God allowed men
who refused salvation to go to He'll,
Bob Jones said that when He made
man in His own image He, being per
feet Himself, had to give man free
and independent will God has no
control over this will, therefore. it
man resolves to go to He'll, God can
not consistently prevent it.
The speaker continued to show that
the only way to salvation was through
Christ. Some men think that in full
filling their obligation as Mason's or
x. of P.'s or Odd Fellows. they are
entitled to admission into heaven.
Bob Jones reiterated that while these
were splendid organizations, that
Christ was the only way. He claims
that even the Jew must accept Christ.
IN the passage of scripture from
which he took his text it referred 70
those who were invited to the we'd
ding making light of the invitation
and then refusing to come. This NAV
De taken to symbolic the lew who
as Gods chosen race, were OF course
hrst eligible to the feast" That even
they must accept the invitation. is the
opinion of the evangelist.
Gods eyes follow you wherever Won
so and note whatever you do. There
IS hardly man who could have h;s
complete record exposed TO the
world There are chapters in the book
OF lite OF every individual which had
oetter pass unread. But God knows
all Your record is an open book
70 him. No man, then, can gain en-
france to heaven on his record. I'll
must be through salvation.
Bob Jones defended the "Hell-scat
cd Christian, and declared that what |
was needed for the salvation Of Amer.
ica today was six months of old time
heli-hre damnation" preaching.
What is hell like? Few people have
