The Pit of Sin
The pit of sin is a horrible p
which it is easy to fall into, but it take
effort TO get out of that pit. ]
prove this, you can look at the Kee
Institutes and other places whel
drink and dope fiends go for hel
There YOU will find some of the be
brains and best blood in the worl
Still they have fallen into the pit
sin and are trying to free themselv
from the clutches of sin.
Sin is Unciean
Sin is unclean. 1t is filthy al
corrupt. All sin is filthy. You ma
perfume it and take it into societ
but still it is unclean. There is o
" one who can cleanse and puri
the sinner. That one is God. Il
man in the mire of sin finds 1t
hard task to get out. He cannot g
out alone. Only God can take "
out of the mire of sin. Sometlm
men resolve to quit sin within thel
selves. They resolve to quit swes
ing or committing othersins, but u
less they seek the help of God tn
10 not succeed. A sinner cannot Gle
up and go to God, he must go
Christ and be cleaned of sin.

God can put the feet of a sinner
the solid Rock of Ages, then he "
not fear death. God will take
wicked things out of sinners |
and fill him with songs of joy a
gladness.
In closing his sermon DIR. Grea,
appealed to sinners to come to I
and cry for his salvation.
