tied here. When one lies down to
die the destiny of his soul is forever
fixed.
The destiny of ones soul is not de-
termined by ones character nor IS
it determined by what one does while
living here on earth. The destiny
of ones soul is not determined by
ones affiliation with the church.
The churches have many members
who are strangers to God. The soul
of a church member who is not al
Christian will go just as deep into .
hell as that Of a man who is not al
member of the, church. The destiny
of ones soul is fixed by ones attitude
toward sin and Christ. Never has(
the soul Of a man been saved unless
he got down on his knees and re-
pented Of his sins and asked God to
soul is fixed at some time in his life
when Jesus Christ knocks at the
door of his heart and asks admit
tance.
! Degrees of Reward and Punishment
| The reward of all Christians will
not be the same in heaven. That
would be unfair. The fullness Of sal
j vation is dependent on what is put
: into it. Salvation is a free gift from
! God, but man must work out the
; fulness thereof. Neither will all who
are lost receive the same punishment.
This, too, would be unjust. In pro-
portion to the sin will be the pun
5 ishment. l would rather be in the
, heart Of Africa or China bowing
: down to a heather God than to be a
/ man living in this Gcdly land, who
l had turned my back on Jesus Christ.
? What Will You Do With Jesus?
5 What will l do with Jesus is the
} all-important question. There is one
/ moment in the life Of every man
t when the eternal decision is made
5 That moment may come to somebody
2 here tonight.
: At the conclusion of the sermon
!, an invitation was given to accept
e Christ and two young men went for

: The Supreme Duty of the Christian
e "He first findeth his own brothe,
ei Simon, and saith unto him, we have
found the Messiah, which is, being
S interpreted, the Christ. John 2:41
: This was the text from which DR.
t Turner preached Friday morning.
n 'The supreme work Of the Chris
t tain is that Of bringing others t
j Christ, the preacher declared. No
!! only is it the supreme duty, but i
h is a supreme privilege of the Chris
k tain. It is the supreme duty of ;

n duty of the Sunday school teacher t

$ the supreme duty Of a, Christian t
e take his friends to Chris. It IS II.
1T supreme duty Of the Church to brin
n the world to Christ.
It 1t is strange that men fail to fea,
% ize their duty. The father and moth
er realize the duty of providing fo
the physical need of their children
in but too often fail to realize their dut
in taking them to Christ. -
