is mere matter Of faith, would
stand small snow with the legal
profession, and yet the legal profess
sion, thank God, has furnished some
Of the brightest lights that ever bIaz-
ed in the armament OF Jesus Christ
Gods Law . Compass.
Gods law Is the compass: the plan
OF redemption is the best thing.
That's why God gives it It's the
only thing.
You say It was a mighty small
thing for him to drive Adam and Eve
out of the Garden of Eden because
they ate the forbidden fruit. 1t was
not for that that he drove them out.
1t was because they were rebellious
against God. Don't argue with the
Lord on the proposition Don't do
that. You yield to Jesus Christ and
see where you will come.
The ten Commandments are not ten
laws but one law and IL you break
one part OF it you are guilty of all,
because that shows you care nothing
for the others.
A fellow may steal and then not
swear, but whosover keeps the whole
law with but one exception is an Of
fender. If I am bound by a chain of
100 links and one link breaks, 1 am
gone. If break one commandment,
L am sinner, away from God. I
trample His law under my feet. You
have heard many sermons, my friends.
and you can't plead your ignorance
God has designed that through preach
ing men should know that there is a
way to be saved, and that through
faith in Jesus Christ.
A lot Of you men and women don't
realize how near you are, due to your
mothers prayer. There never has be-
meath the Stars and Stripes, in my
opinion, been a revival held where
more people in every nook and cor
ner have been praying for the cam
paign than here And, sir, men and
women whose eyes have never gazed
upon your skyline have been she'd
ding tears and spending sleepless
nights praying God to open the gates
of heaven, and when You get to glory
you will realize then how thankful
you ought to be to God for the pray
ers of people that have turned you
down these aisles.
God answers the prayers OF people
on the Pacific Coast, Of people who
live in the dug-outs on the plains of
Kansas, or down in Tennessee, or the
Southland.
Foolishness of prayer! Multitudes
Of you wouldn't be here tonight IL it
hadn't been for prayer. Prayer
brought You into your seat, where you
are now.
Death Takes Initiative.
There are a good many things
that divide this audience tonight
Some are rich, some are poor, some
are learned, some are illiterate-in
reality there is only one thing, the
cross Of Jesus Christ, that divides
the world. 1 could put all humani-
ty on one side or the other. What
ever you do will influence others to
do likewise and stand with Jesus
Christ. but don't allow the sneers
of those that don't believe keep
you out of heaven Don't allow
that to hinder you.
Men and women, don't allow the
sneers and the blasphemy of some
God-forsaken, red-handed, black
hearted anarchist or some blatant
clustering old infidel. vomiting and
spewing out his unbelief, to keep
you out. Some day the infidel has
got to die. Some day his head will
lie cold on his pillow. Some day his
eyes will set. the pupils will dilate.
Some day his lips will be ashes.
Some day he will hear a rap at
the door.
