II il Hard fa Co To He'll

does wrong has nar0 time.
1t is Hard to Go to He'll.
1t is hard to go to hell. The way
of the transgressor is hard. God
never sent anybody to hell All who
get there go or .heir own accord. God
| does all possible to keep people from
going to hell. A man who goes to
hell has hard time going and a
| hard time after he gets there.
The only way in this Christian land
man can go to hell is by climbing
over great barrications. Ali have had
access tc the Word Of God. If a maa
from this country is lost it is because
he put his foot on the Bible and said
will not believe it. All have had
enough of the word to save the II.
! If you go to hell it will be against
the conscience which God put in you.
| l hope there is no man here who has
| SO deadened his conscience that it !
cannot speak to him. If there be such
Il man he has crossed the line. He is
gone. 1t is hard for man to disregard
the pleadings of God.
If you go to hell it will be against
| the pleadings of the churches which !
point heavenward. All who are not !
church members are giving the lie ,
to all the churches stand for. Who
|
there are no churches? Womans vir- !
tue is not safe where there are no
! Christians.
If you go to hell it will be against
the pleadings of the ministry. All
| have at some time had some minister
or ambassador from God to look them
in the face and warn them Of the
wrath to come.
Some men will go to hell notwitl4-
! standing the example Of a Christian
father. 1 wonder if there be father
here who is trying to raise a family
and is not Christian. l would not
be a father for one hour ard not be
a Christian. If there is worse pun
ishment in hell for one than anothe- i
it will be for the father who goes
there and faces a child who followed
the father there.
If you go to hell it will be in spite
of the prayers of a Christian mother.
Nothing on earth equals the love Of
mother for her child. You may
have many sweethearts and many
friends, but you can have but one
mother If you refuse to be a Chris
tian you give the lie to all your moth
er taught you about the love Of God.
Nothing gives a mother more JOY
than to know that her child is Chris
tian.
Ii your mother is living and you are
not Christian, will you not make her
happy by accepting Christ? If she
has gone on to glory, send her word
that you'll be there.
If you go to hell you must go over
the body of the crucified Christ, who
died for you. Will you not stop sim
ming and turn heavenward?
This sermon, which was preached
especially to men and boys, made
profound impression upon the large
congregation. It moved many to
tears.
Sunday Morning.
A congregation that filled the au-
ditorium heard DR.. Mcdaniel preach
Sunday morning at the II o'clock SER
vice. He preached from Acts 1920:
$50 nightly grew the word of God
and prevailed
Repentance is the Cardinal Work.
Repentance" the preacher declar-
ed," is the cardinal work in the king
dom of Cod" The prophets in the
days of old taught repentance. When
Jesus began to preach he taught re-
pentance. Repentance is the plow
that breaks the soil.
Baptism Does Not Save.
Baptism does not save men. Bap-
tism is way in which Christians de-
clare to the world their faith in
Christ. The command to be baptised
is the Only, command given US in the
| name Of the Divinity. All who b.
| on the uniform by being bapt;sed az
Jesus was baptised The man who
says he is a Christian and will not be
baptised was likened by DR.. Mcdaniel
unto man who said he had read in
the Bible about Daniel being put in
the lions den, and who had come to
the conclusion that Daniel was not
put in the den with the lion, but only
put near the den. Like the man who
says he read about the Hebrew chill
dren being placed in the frey fur
mace and who had wondered why they
did not burn. Later that man con-
cluded that they were not put in tt G
furnace, but placed near it. Like the
man who had read about the wicked
being cast into the lake of fire, but
had concluded that they would not be
put into the lake, but rather placed
near enough to keep warm.
| The heart must be cleansed by faith
before baptism, or it will do harm tt
! be baptised. Baptism does not save
hut synboiizes faith in God.
: The Protestant church is built
around the preaching of Gods word
:, A church must have the power to sep
arate itself from the world. The res.
