Evangelist Calls Them Spiritual
Rip Van Wrinkles, Just as Much
Asleep as Vilest Sinner

That the backslider of the church to-
day is nothing more than a spiritual
Rip Van Wrinkle and just as much
asleep as the vilest sinner in the
world" was the central idea about
which Evangelist Gypsy Smith, jr
wove his sermon in the big tabernacle
last night.
The evangelist was discussing as his
text Awake, thou that sleepest, and
Christ will give thee light" from Ephe-
slams, 5.14, and throughout his dis
course he paid the closest attention to
the individual who has accepted the
teachings of Christianity and the church
and has the nbecome a backslider.
The first part of the text" said the
evangelist. describes the sinner and
the backslider. To the backslider must
be said the same word that first
brought him from the darkness into
light. If you are living out of Christ
you are asleep.
IF you are away from Jesus Christ
you are superior to no one. You say
I overdo this thing. First 1 call you
leper. then paralytic. then / say
you are blind. and now I come with the
assertion that you are snoring. No,
are asleep.
You remember the story of Rip Van
Wrinkle. You know they tell us he
went out into the mountain and slept
for twenty years. When he came back
he didn't see face he recognized. He
didn't see child he knew. The grave
yard was the only place he was IA

The next part of our text is Arise
There is a lot of difference between
waking and getting up. You have
been awakened during these meetings !;
why don't you get up?
The third part of the text is the

on the west coast of Africa known as
the sleeping sickness. Natives go to
sleep leaning against a door, and die
in their sleep. That is true of the
spiritual world. L warn you of a
great danger"
In closing the evangelist said Some
of you have been living for yourselves
alone. All the obituary column of the
newspapers will have about some of
you will be. He's gone; thanks for the
