SdlNdtloH 'De4llS MllA q person, not a creed, but with the person named Jesus l am glad that it did not say any other name tabernacle, a creed, d sect, a party, an evangelist or worker, any ceremony or ritual Don't rob Jesus of His place If you don't come by Jesus there is no com ing 10 God He is the door. the gate way, the way to Heaven If not what He claimed to be Jesus is the great est blasphemer the world has ever known. He claimed to be the bread of life, the Son of God the Saviour of the Lost Tell me that He is lair? That He is the illigitimate off spring of a bad woman? Skeptics have been trying to find haults in Him for the past two thousand years, but without success. He is the won derful Saviour; wonderful in His life, His work, His death and in His resur- rection which is the best attested fact in history
 And look at the ability of this Sa- Yiour, He is able both to save and to keep. Just as sure as l am upon this platform so sure am l that if every unsayed person in this audi ence would come to Jesus tonight he would go out of this tabernacle with clean heart, his sins forgiven, his past cleansed There is a certainty to this salvation It rests not upon slush nor tears, nor emotions, nor feelings. It rests solely upon Christ Come just as you are with or without feelings. Scores have come to Him in just such services as this and gone out rejoicing.
 Aole-Can you measure His ability to save? One day a leper came to him, he touched him and was cleansed. Another day a blind mand and he went away seeing; another day d man stretched out his withere darm and 1t became strong; the palsied man took up his bed and walked from the pres- ence of Jesus; the poor harlot came and heard the words, neither do condemn thee; go and sin no more. Jesus Christ is Lord over the devil. He cast out demons in His day. He casts out the demons of wicked tongues, of evil hearts. of wicked lives, of dope and drink He is able to save not you. but Jesus. He paid the price for your salvation.
 Feelingly he told the story of Pri- vate Darby left upon the battlefield in the civil war within the union lines He longed for one to carry his testa- ment back to his mother and tell her that he had died like a Christian One came and took him up in his arms and carried him to the Hospital, nursed him back to life and restored him to his mother That one was Abraham Lincoln A greater than Abraham Lincoln is here No life is 50 low, so far wrecked; no past is too dark no sin is too vile: no dope fiend or drink filled life but Jesus can heal, 1 wish that you would find Jesus tonight and give Him a chance.
 He is able to save and t0 keep: not to batch up. Men have been preach ing His power to save for the past two thousand years, but have only touched the fringe of His gospel. Great minds are unable to get to the bottom of the gospel, but children un- derstand it in its simplicity
 What is the extent of His saliva tion? To the uttermost. In the Greek this means to the farthest throw He is able to save no matter how far the devil has flung you He illustrat- ed this by the story of Mel TrotJer, his receiving Christ in the Garden Street Mission; of Mr, Trotter's re- ception and dining with the president and high officials of the government; how they wept as he told his eXperi- ence of Jesus ability to save to the uttermost
 He can save you to the uttermost. H. came not 10 condemn but to save.
 The last y'crd to be emphasized is the word Come The text is not work or weep, but taose that come to Him, The whole world is filled with this word come. Every angel will fold his wing: every harp of heaven be hushed if you tonight, cry, God be merciful to me, a sinner Behold he prayeth, is the message that brings silence among the hosts of heaven. Come to Jesus, not to any creed Jesus says come and then he says go and sin no more
 He effectively told the story of John Hartmans search of the battlefield for his son Long and into the night he searched Standing amid the wounded, the dying and head, he cried out, John, thy father calleth thee" After what seemed an eternity he heard the response, Father, this way" A greater than John Hart man is here in this tabernacle. His name is Jesus He is calling amid those wounded by sin; their con sciences stabbing them, Softly and tenderly He is calling for you and for me.
