VIII you accept jesus SuTlst db your
Saviour? Will you give me your
hand?'
He says:
mo, sir, I don't want your Christ"
What's the difference between those
Absolutely none. They are both lost.
Both are going to hell.
God hasn't one way Of saving this
fellow and another way Of saving the
other fellow.
God will save that man II he ac-
cepts Christ and he will do the same
for the other fellow.
That man - q sinner and this man
Is a sinner. That man is lower down
in sin than this man, but they both
say mo" to Jesus Christ and they
are both lost or God is a liar.
Morality doesn't save anybody.
Your culture doesn't save you.
I don't care who you are or how
good you are, II you reject Jesus
Christ you are doomed.
You moral men, you may be just
as well OF as the Christian until
death knocks you down. then you are
lost, because you trust in your NOR
atty.
The Christian Is saved because Re
trusts in Jesus.
Argue Against Gods Plan.
can stand here and tell you that
God offers you salvation through re-
pentance and faith in Jesus Christ
and that you must accept 1t or be
lost, and yet you will stand up and
argue the question as though your
argument can change Gods plan.
You never can do it Not only has
God promised you salvation on the
grounds Of your accepting Jesus
Christ as your Savior. but he has
promised to give you home in which
to spend eternity.
Heaven IL q place where there are
j going to be some fine folk.
Abraham will be there and I'm 60
: ing to see him.
Noah, Moses, Joseph, Jacob, Isaiah,
Daniel, jeremiah the weeping prophet,
Paul, John. Peter, James. Samuel,
Martin Luther, Spurseon, Calvin,
Moody.
| o, heaven Is q place where there
will be grand and noble people. and
all who believe in Jesus will be
there.
wouldn't old Washington be a
grand place to live IL you would
only get rid of some people that
live in the town?
If they would only die, or get
converted. or move away. Wash
ington would be a great place.
Booze Fighter Barred.
The booze fighter won't be in
heaven. he is here.
The backslider won't be there. he
is here.
The devil won't be there. he is
here.
There'll be nobody to run booze
joints or gambling hells in heaven.
No grafters or cheap skate poll
ticians pulling strings to disgrace
the devil.
Nothing like that in heaven.
HEAVIER will be a place of grand
and noble people who love Jesus.
The beloved wife will meet her
husband. Mother, you will meet your
babe again that you have been sep
arated from for years or months.
Heaven will be free from every
thing that curses and damns this
old world here.
wouldn't this be a grand world
If 1t weren't for a lot of things in it?
Can you conceive anything being
grander than this world II it handn't
a lot of things in itf The only
thing that makes Washington a de-
cent place to live Is the religion of
Jesus Christ.
There isn't a man that would live
in it If you took religion out.
No Illness I'm Heaven.
4 There will be1 no sickness in
heaven, no pain, no sin. no poverty,
no want, no death. no grinding toll.
There remaineth a rest for the
people of God. tell you there are a
good many poor men and women
that never have any rest. They
have had to get up early in the
morning and work hard all day. but
in heaven there remaineth rest for
the people of God.
all day. No toll in heaven, no sick
ness.
Salvation. Not In Morality.
Salvation doesn't exist in morality,
in reformation in paying your debts.
1t doesn't exist in being .true to your
marriage vows. 1t Is only by repent
ance and faith in the atoning blood
of Jesus Christ, and some of you fel-
lows have searched for 1t until you
find II because 1t only exists in one
phase-repentance and faith in Jesus
Christ. ~ u.
Supposing I had In my hand

hand had q number Of diamonds

Take your choice"
Nine out Of ten would take the dia-
monds. 81

why do you do that7'
/ You would say:
Diamonds are worth more than
wheat"
So they are now, but you take
those diamonds, they will never grow.

But can take q handful Of wheat,
sow It, and fecundated by the rays
