ard rather lose my wife, and chill

crowds of the world are going on
without Jesus. They have everything
but Jesus. Some churches are sat

they are all right, they say, but God
saws they are all wrong, they are full
of rottenness and dead mems bones,
they can't see their wretched ana
shameful condition.
No Zeal CT Enthusiasm.
! There is no zeal and enthusiasm IN
the church. 1t used to be possible TO

takes that long now to shell out the

i The churches don't want to be walked
up. don't want a gospel of hell fire
they want soothing syrup.
You don't need to be an outrageous
sinner to lose Jesus.
i The preacher was not preaching
about card playing and dancing, but he
said he had more respect Tor bovs
who lock themselves in room and
plav poker than he has for society
women who play for prizes; and tine
dance he thinks is too close contact
