of redemption that we all might 70 to
heaven. II we will only accept Him az
our Saviour and do His will.
You say. well, would. but don't
feel like It." oh. dear. when a man
starts on a journey he doesn't start
on feeling. He consults q time card,
buys his ticket. checks his trunk and
makes his arrangements according to
the time card.
When got ready to come here 1
went down and bought my ticket and
checked my trunk. I saw nothing but
the rails. no whistle. no smoke. but
they said when / had little piece OF
paper the train would stop. That's all
! had.
Pretty soon, saw the headlight
rounding the curve. Yonder they
came. sixty miles an hour, and /
heard the engineer shut her of. /
saw the sparks begin 20 fly as he
shut OF the brakes and she came
to a stand-still He was running ac-
cordng to schedule. / believed he
would stop and he did.
God tells me II ! will accept
Jesus Christ as my Savior, l am
saved. So am going TO Heaven on
schedule. God tells me / am 60
ing to Heaven. I believe 1t. 1 don't
bother my head about II. l trust
Him, His words are true.
I went to visit the Waltham
Watch Works. Down in the base
ment they have what they call the
master clock. 1t is surrounded by
several thicknesses of wall. 1t is
kept at a normal temperature the
year round.
They have gas arrangement in
there. a thermostat. that is auto
matically lighted by electricity.
When the temperature reaches
certain degree, the light will 20
on. and when 1t gets to a certain
degree. 1t will go out.
Now. there is that clock resting
upon a foundation that goes down,
my friends. below the river. Then
attached to it they have a little
machine with . cylinder. On that
is a piece Of paper. and fastened on
that Is a fountain pen. AZ the
clock ticks. that fountain pen
makes q little mark on this cylin-
der Of paper.
Out youder stands an observatory,
one Of the finest in the United
States. resting upon a foundation
that goes fifty feet below the bed
OF the river. There sit expert men,
I astronomers with huge telescope,
and they sit there and watch the
! stars. As the stars 20 by, they
push button and it records it with
fountain pen on another cylinder
down in the basement near this
great master clock.
Then every twenty-four hours,
they compare it That clock runs
one hundredth part of a second ac-
curate. 1t is absolutely marvellous.
Then they compare these two cylin-
ders.
Stars Set Clock.
II the one made by the tick of
the clock is wrong, 1 mean il 1t
doesn't harmonize with the cylin-
der made by the astronomers, then
the clock is wrong. The stars are
never wrong. They never try to
set the stars by the clock, but they
set the clock by the stars.
So they always adjust the clock
to suit the record made on the CYL
inder by the stars. They go by the
telescope because the stars are
never wrong.
Say, let me tell you something. Do
you regulate your life by the Bible |?
God is never wrong. You are
wrong! You are wrong! God is
never wrong! You adjust yourself
and see what He will do.
II Jesus Christ were a man and
only a man. then of all mankind, 1
would cleave to. him and to him
only. But IL Jesus Christ is God,
and the only God, I swear 1 will
follow Him through heaven and
hell and sea and air!
find no fault in Jesus. Nv
greatest Joy will be to hear my
Savior say. Il fnd no fault with
thee"
A steamer tied mp at her wharf
in Detroit Just came down from
Toronto. After she had discharged
her cargo. q drunken sailor was
seen staggering up Woodward ave-
nue.. He staggered on and on, up to
the old White Opera House.
He said to the lady in the ticket
office, as he reeled back and forth,
How do you do. lady? Is Jesus
Christ in herer
She said. NO. sir, but we have
his picture"
Munkacsy's Christ Before Pr
late" was then on exhibition. John
Wanamaker is the owner.
In Philadelphia, one of their
homes burned. He couldn't get the
picture out lit Is q great monster
thing, so he cut it right out of the
frame with his knife and took the
picture out that way. 1t is in his
store in Philadelphia,
II you ever go there go and
ask him to let you see It He paid
$4,000 for the original Of Munkac-
sy's Christ Before PLATE"
The sailor said, Jesus amt here 90
NO." she said, But His picture is
here" ..-
He said. Maybe that Is what my
Ma meant when left Toronto. She
made me promise I'd come down here
and see Him. She said He was In
here. How much is it?''
She said, "a quarter" so he reach
ed down and dug up quarter.
She said, DO you want q cata-
logue?'
He said. "what It that?"
She told him and he said, "Yes, /
might as well get it. How much?"
Ten cents" So he pulled out q
dime, and went In. She followed him
to see what effect a painting of such
grandeur would have upon a man Of
such evident illiteracy and sin.
He walked in and sat down VIII.
his hat on. He looked up to the pic
ture and said. ''who is that fellow
sitting up there in that chair with his
hair cut short7"
