Walk upright and keep from sin.
All idols are sin. | am called by the
I Spirit to preach Ills Gospel. Some
are preaching who have no more use
for the Gospel than a hog has for
sidc-pocket. You know what use he
has. If God wants you to preach He

journey to that city. saw Jesus
way up on the mountain, across the
river. How can come to him? BY
faith. without faith you cannot
come to Christ. He showed me the
beauties Of Gods Kingdom; that is
beautiful city; that kingdom Is for
all who keep His Commandments.

want to tell you about Dives and
Lazarus: Lazarus was seeking that

sat down. Dives driv out past him,

sinners drive on. Lazarus looked

for it. Lazarns died and went to
Abraham's bosom. Gods Kingdom
is sufficient to take care Of His peo-

Some people do not like that word.
There are only two 1laces. If you
are In heaven you are not in hell; If
you are In hell you are not in heaven.
IT you miss one you 60 to the other.
Dives looked around for a place to

If man amt got the spirit or
grace OF God in his heart he cant go
to the kingdom. Some folks have
neither and get up and say, IL be-
l.lieve," and don't have any spirit Of

Is Gods world and we are in Gods
hands. There are enough hypocrites
in the world now. They call up
mourncrs and say. "Come, give me
your hand!' They drag them up
