DR.. HINSON TELLS
OF GOSPEL TRUTHS
breaches FROM . SAMUEL 1I:II
AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH
LAST NIGHT.
Meeting Is of Great Power and Many
Stand for Christ; Public Is Urged
to Attend services and Come Early
for Song Services.
(E. R. c.

At the Baptist church last night
DR.. Hinson spoke from Samuel,
14:14. For we must needs die and
are as water spilled upon the ground
which can not be gathered up again
yet doth God devise means
whereby his banished be not cast
from him."
This scripture text has a setting far
more interesting than any moving
picture. The actors are the king. two
princes. one princess, one general and
an anonymous woman. AmnOn slew
the soul Of his half sister Tamon and
Absalom, her brother, killed him for
II. King David banished him from
the kingdom. Jacob, the general Sc
cured this wise woman to go to the
king and seek the return of Absalom.
She uses the text as a means.
Now there are some great facts
stated here. We must needs die Look
at the face Of your watch. Every
time the second hand jerks. somebody
dies. Every time your pulse beats
somebody dies. Two people die every
time you inhale and exhale your
breath. There Is no closed season for
death. Leaves have their time to fall
but death has all times. These are
mathematical facts.
marvel to think that I continue tt
live when I think of this fact There
Is no escaping death. Life insurance
Is not valid against death We know
that we must everyone die

shadow sits and waits for me-" VIZ
approach II without any stay. The
time Is getting nearer all the while
Yet death makes but little impression
upon us. We have been so accustom
ed to 1t that It ceases to impress us
Another thing this woman men
toned Is sin. Now we are on famll
lar ground Nobody disputes thu
facts Of death. If they did We woulC
not think them worth answering. Ye
We pay as little attention to sin as VI
do death. The state pays no atten
tion to sin. No Judge condemns an
one for sin. Unless sin is cOnnecte,
with crime the law pays no attention
to It. sin L. not always crime an,
crime is not always sin.

The present laws, according to the

they have become conflicting and
cumbersome. The statute is now con-
