Union Station plaza He said:
For seeing the multitude. He was
moved with compassion. Pray ye. He

you make me tired trying TO get the
rich ducks into the church and pass
ing By the ordinary crowd. You make
me sick. Some people seem to think
that after Jesus Christ left the world
He would have nothing more to do
with II. Jesus Christ Yves today and
Is able to help you a. II He walked
By your side over the hills Of Galilee.
God doesn't look at anyone's pocket
book or social standing before He
makes up His mind to receive them.
THE soul, to be born again, must
believe on Jesus Christ, and no soul
will be saved unless the owner does.
No such thing 10 possible. You may
love God and then turn your back to
Him and insult Him. You say you
love God, but do not believe that
Jesus Christ is His Son; you're the
biggest fool living. The soul that
Is born again, that turns from sin and
feeds upon the word OF God, will have
fellowship with the Lord.

Don't you want to hear my daughter

when Il f. the worst you ever heard
"Jesus went about the cities on
Gods business. He was not\ stalking

but look how the devil has marred
some Of you. You can see II In the
Krogshops, the red-llght districts, the
gambling dens. everywhere see the
marks the devil has placed on man.
"Jesus knew the devil had never

Jesus Christ saw limitations OF the
people because OF sin. That's the
reason some OF you haven't got a bet,

there been no one in the garden OF
Eden, there would have been no liml-

We live so many years.
ReVIVaIs Not Injurious.
You say you don't want any ex.
element; that a revival Is injurious
to a community. You're the biggest
liar on earth. The thing that in

gambling bells, houses OF ill-fAme.
These things are the objects for your
printers ink and you can dip your
pen in vitriol. But when you come
out against God I'll fight you to the
last ditch. Jesus saw the money
changers in the temple, saw them
selling doves and pigeons. He took
the lash. and overturned charles and
tables and drove the gang out Don't
you think that was exciting? Well,
guess.
"If Jesus Christ would walk into
