When you have made up your mind
God Almighty may have settled 1t
long before that you are too late.
God has got something else to do
but to loaf around and wait for you
to make up your mind. God is too
busy. God is not going to come
down from heaven and spend time
arguing with a fool. take it from
me. He is too busy.
Some Of the greatest calamities
the world has ever registered have
come through neglect No wonder
men neglect salvation and 1t causes
the ruination and the wreckage of
their souls. No wonder God is des-
perately in earnest to try and get
us to flee from the wrath to come.

Gods desire to punish them. and the
bitterest dreg you will ever find in
the cup will be that you have no
body to blame but yourself.
All sins are great. I don't care how

OF hell il you don't repent. They don't
go to hell because they are sinners.

of what you have been, the question
is Of what you are. The question is.

so. salvation is yours. God never asks
what you have DONE God offers sal
walton for your soul If you will do His
will.
Using the worst terms, what for?

If there is any man or woman this
| side of hell, or, in my opinion, that
ought to be in hell. it is the man or
the woman that throws into the face
of some man or woman things he or
she used to do when that man or
woman is not doing those things now.
God doesn't care what you have
done, God never throws 1t into your
| teeth, God never reminds you of your
past, that is blotted out. God seys,

against you no more, forever" Hal

And SO, now, when a criminal Is

governor pardons that criminal, that
Justif1es that criminal and the law

is no longer guilty, he has paid the
penalty, he Is free.

Savior, am justified before God. God
looks upon me as though 1 never have

Devils Die Devils.
Some people think they'd be happy
II they were in heaven. You wouldn't.
If God Almighty would reach down
now and take you out of your seat
and take you to heaven your attitude
wouldn't be any different from what

character. The character you have
when you die will be the kind you will
have forever. If you die a Christian
you will be that all through eternity.
Death won't affect you at all-not at

There isn't a man or woman in
hell that wouldn't warn you to keep
out IL they could only come up here
to talk to you. IL God Almighty
would let me go down to hell and
preach one sermon and give the in
vitation I could depopulate hell in
