The Bible is such a complete sys-

bv no other laws than those found
within its pages. il would be enough.

The Bible the Best Book
"The Bible il the first book. Il is
the best book, the Oldest book in all
the world. To understand il and obey
it is TO be wise-to spurn il and re-

John hi. 10" came the answer.
Well, some of you are all right" said
Sunday. Quote the verse And the
informed among the audience quoted:
For God so loved the world that He
gave His only Begotten Son that all
who believe might not perish but have
everlasting life"
"Bullyl" shouted Sunday. That's
fine. It's the first time you've been
able to give me a text"
He continued: There are some who
say that wrong is truth in disguise.
that error is truth; viewed from the
opposite side. that vice is only another
name for virtue. We, who believe the
Bible. know there is difference be-
tween sin and salvation as great and
as broad as eternity. Sin is serpent,
salvation a dove; sin is devil, saliva
tion an angel; sin is darkness, saliva
tion is light; sin is bitterness, saliva
ton is sweetness; sin is disease, saliva
tion is health; sin is pain, salvation is
JOY and happiness.
when you can prove TO me that
.here is no difference between heaven
and hell then you can make me believe
there is no difference between sin and
salvation. You run against sin every
time you move.
Sin Found on Streets
"If lying is not sin, then telling the
/ truth is not a virtue. We run against
sin walking down the street. See that
drunken man staggering and mutter-
/ ing along; II drunkenness is not sin
F sobriety is not a virtue. We see sin
when we turn the corner and hear a
gang OF roughs pouring out their tor
rents Of profanity. II profanity is not
sin. then prayer is not virtue.
/ 1--WE see some one cOveting your
money. your jewelry. He enters and
he murders; If murder is not SIN, then
mercy is not virtue.
"This old world for thousands OF
years has been full Of lying, drunken
ress, adultery, profanity and murder:
Therefore, we say the world IS full OF
sin. Prove TO US that these things do
not exist and We will believe there is
no sin.
blighted, stained, cursed, ruined by sin.
Sin Is the cause OF disappointment
main. shame, degradation and sorrow;
sin is Gods enemy; sin is the great
enemy Of the human race.
