The people who were not in any oil
the delegations had to sit outside OF
the roped off section. These seats
were soon filled and when Loren Jones
started the song service it was a
packed tabernacle that confronted
him.
The song books were on sale last
the best of the entire campaign. The
choir platform was filled with a great
er number of singers than at any time
since the meeting began. Each Sun
day school was called upon to sing
the chorus of Jesus Included Me-
and each one sang it, too. Then when
the choir, Sunday schools and all the
others joined in the chorus the new
roof on the tabernacle was certainly
given test.
Before taking his text from the
twentieth verse of the eighth chapter
of jeremiah Bob Jones asked all who
were born in Tennessee to stand 1t

question and you jumped to your feet.

been born again why do you not vote
on that, too? Tennessee folks can
never again say that they do not be-

Boz Jones throat was little tired
from the three services Sunday, and
he said he would not preach on the
Prodigal Son because it required more
nervous and physical energy than he
possessed. Instead he preached on
"The harvest is passed, the summer
is ended, and / am not saved" He
said he was going to try to save his
throat by preaching this sermon. Evil
IDENTIFY he forgot about it, for he was
soon preaching with all the ardor of
his soul. 1t seems impossible for him
to take it easy in his preaching He
is terribly in earnest, and the sermon
last night was one of the best he has
delivered.
In part he said: Harvest time is a
busy season. Everybody is busy.
You cannot take vacation during
harvest. The Evangelistic Meeting is
the harvest time and you cannot af-
ford to do anything else at this time
All of our efforts should be centered
on the meeting. And while we are
reaping, don't forget the seed that
was sown in the past by the faithful
pastors and Sunday school teachers.
The harvest season is no time for
idlers. You must reap in a hurry
Every moment is golden.
The sad part of the text is, And
we are not saved"
You are either saved or lost. You
must face it. Every step you take is
a step toward Heaven or a step to-
ward hell. There are only two classes
here, and only two in eternity; the I,
saved and the unsaved. You must be !
born again. 1t is either Jesus or hell
the world into two classes, the saved |
and the unsaved. 4
Your relation to Jesus will fix your
destiny. 1t is wonderful to be saved: |
wonderful in life and wonderful in |
death. A Christian dies a differen,
death from the sinner.
