deny God the same right that you

Perhaps he was as proud of his
own clothes as you are OF your NOR

Of your virtue or education, but those
are not Gods garments, therefore
you must put on Jesus Christ and
cast off Your education, your moral

clothes were all right for other oc-

that occasion. So your morality and
education and honesty Is all right but
1t isn't all right to get into heaven

II You're Boneheaded.
Come. let's reason together, saith
the Lord" And His fate is q faint

friends, If you are boneheaded enough
just to go on rejecting Jesus Christ.
He that being often reproyed,

destroyed and that without remedy"
Another man says, "welI, I think
If you live honestly and you don't

Well it doesn't make a whit of diff

depends on what God Almighty saws.
Mans judgment without proper evil

Principle Of Life.

Foolish. My goodness. Life is Just
chuck fun of things that are beyond
reason and II you only accepted and
acted what you fully understand
there wouldn't be very much progress
In science or in inventions. The life
principle in a grain Of wheat is be-
yond the comprehension of the great
est scientists in the world Scientists
all know II is there. but they can't
lind II, they can't explain il. 1t has
. always been A mystery and perhaps
always will be. hut that doesn't keep
the farmer from putting it in the
ground at all.
We can't explain the life principle
Of wheat or corn or potatoes. II is
there, but we don't know how. To
refuse to plow and plant because you
didn't understand. we'd all starve TO
death. every one of US. inside OF
twelve months. II everybody refused
to yield 10 Jesus Christ. until they
understood all about Him. we'd all
go to the devil. Take what little you
do understand and follow that and
God will give you more.
The action of one chemical upon
another is beyond our understanding.
We know that certain results follow
the combination of chemicals, but we
can't understand it, We know that
certain compounds will produce a
certain medicine, while another COM
pound is not very much different, but
will produce a deadly poison. We
can't explain why the combination of
these chemicals will make a deadly
poison while the combination OF other
chemicals will produce a life-giving
medicine. We are all from Missouri,
on the whole proposition. But we
know that certain results follow, so
we profit by them and get all the
good we can.

Don't Know why.

We know that ether and chloro-
form will put you to sleep; We don't

fact that it will do it We don't

know that ergot will staunch the

We know that sulphur is good for
the itch. Why? Don't know.
So II is more sensible TO hitch
your wagon to a star than to back
it over a precipice because you don't
understand gravitation. Don't be a
fool. We cannot fully understand
why the magnetic needle always
points to the north. but we prove il
by the fact that il does. And we
have been trusting that fact TO

False Things Hated.

The man hates the person or thing
that he regards or believes to be
false and we are lifted heavenward
or we are hurled hellward accord
ingly as we hate.
Judas got close enough to Jesus
Christ to kiss Him, but he went to
damnation just the same. So we
are hurled heavenward, ! say, or
sent hellward by what, We hate or
love. He that .believeth not on the
Son shall not see life, but the wrath
of God abideth on him."
Is man safe who has committed
a crime and all of the cops on the
force are looking for him? Certainly
not. Then Is a sinner safe when
Gods detectives are hunting him
down to bring him to Justice? Is the
Stacker safe when. the. United States
is after the fellow between twenty
one and thirty-one who sfde-stepped
the government and wouldn't regis

He that believeth on the Son is
not condemned" So that IL what
God has against you. Even II you
