want to be q doubter and live without
the word OF God?
The infidel Is always asking where
do / come from7 I want to know
where am going to. old man; that
is what Is puzzling me.
They take me to q graveyard and
dig q grave, two and one-half feet
wide. five feet deep and six feet long.
They say this Is where you go to.
don't like that. / don't believe
I was made to die: / don't believe
that death is all; hope for immor-
tality.
The instinct for Immortality Is In
my heart and / want to tell you, my
friends, that you cannot find an in
stance where instinct ever led an an
imal wrong.
So I am instinct with immortality.
want to live beyond the grave. Is
that hope, that instinct going to be
disappointed in me? Is that instinct
going to be disappointed in me when
instinct Is not in a bird, the bee, the
fish or the reptile?
II that hope Is to be disappointed,
then man Is the only being In the uni
verse that is a failure.
As he is a failure IL that Is true, and
instead of being the masterpiece of
God he is Gods failure.
Here to Preach Word.
More infidels as a class commit sui
eide than any other people on Gods
earth. II their theory Is right, then
I don't blame them.
II death is an eternal sleep, II there
Is no damnation to gave men from,
why have We churches? Why do We
build a Tabernacle?
II there is no hell to save men from
will quit preaching. I will not cut
short my life by twenty years II there
Is no hell to save men from.
I wish to God everybody might be
saved. but II you are not saved you
are going to eternal damnation. That
Is final. am here to preach the word
and that is final
Do you wonder that It was an infidel
who started the question. rs life
worth hving?"
Do you wonder that It was some fool
woman. infidel woman. that first
started the question, rs marriage a
failure?'
A fool, infidel woman! Christians do
nut dSh SuCl 1OOl QucENlCh5s
Would you be surprised to be re-
minded than infidel writer's and speak
ers have always and do always advo-
cate and condone and excuse suicide
Do you know that in infidelity the gos-
pei is suicide? That is their theory
and don't blame them. and the SOON
er they leave the world the better the
world will be.
The great men Of the ages are on
the side of the Bible. A good many
infidels talk as though the great minds
Of the world were arrayed against
Christianity and the Bible.
Ask them the names Of the great
men of evolution? Old Darwin, Hux-
ley and Spencer. and a survey Of them
only strengthensu our faith.
Great Men Prayed.
Great statesmen, inventors, have
lifted up their hearts In prayer.
Watt, the inventor the steam engine
was a Christian; Fulton, the inven-
tor Of the steamboat, was a Christian: !:
the self-binder. was a Christian;
and the first message that ever
HdSneu over INC "lo was
Deuteronomy "What God hath
wrought" Edison. although a
doubter in some things. said that
there was evidence enough IN chem
istry to prove the existence OF a
God, II there was no evidence besides
that
George Washington was a Christian,
Abraham Lincoln was a Christian,
and with Bishop Simpson knelt on
his knees in the White House. pray
ing God to give victory to the army
Of the blue.
John Hay. the brightest Secretary
of State that ever managed the af-
fairs Of State, in my judgment was
q Christian. Theodore Roosevelt, that
giant Of the West Is q Christian;
William Jennings Bryan, q man as
clean as hounds tooth; Garfield,
Mckinley, Grover Cleveland, Benja-
min Harrison, Woodrow Wilson; all
these Christians.
The great men Of the world of all
ages, OF science, art or statesman
ship. have all belived In Jesus Christ
as the Son of God.
believe the Bible because of its
prophecy and fulfillment up to date, II
for no other reason.
