EVENING SERMON
"He Said Tomorrow"

Billy Sunday preached last night on
the topic, He Said Tomorrow he
said:
You will find nv text in Exodus
S:lO-"And he said tomorrow. And ne
said tomorrow"
For 43O years the Jews had been IN
Egyptian bondage. They had mace
brick without straw and barred their
hack TO the lash of the taskmasters'
and they had been compelled to suo-
init to all the barbarities and cruelues
that a powerful and heartless nation
could infiict upon those who were their
yassals and slaves. God had toiu
Joseph that He would come and lead
them out. Generation after genera
tion had been born. matured to man
hood and womanhoOd, developed into
age and decrepitude. and still God
mad not come, until they had mag
ined that God had forgotten and that
He would have them forever to be the
slaves Of their masters.
But il God tells you that He will
bless you il you do a thing He will
bless YOU. and when He tells you He
will damn you if you don't do 1t, He
will damn you. His judgment may
he delayed. He may keep you wait
ing until your hair is gray. but His
judgments will surely come or His re-
wards will follow.
And at the appointed time. to the
very day that God said He would
come. He appeared under the lead
ership OF Moses to lead them out,
and old Pharaoh. the king, refused
to let the people go and God was
compelled to afflict him and the

of one Of these that the sOlilOQuy

1t was the plague of frogs. They
were to be seen and found every
where The land stunk with their
dead bodies in wells: rivers and
creeks were filled and the people
were calling for deliverance.
Pharaoh sent for Moses and Moses
said to him: When shall I entreat
the Lord that He take away the
plague?"
And he answered in the words of
my text: And he said tomorrow"
never thought that argued much
Tor the common nse of Pharaoh,
hecause he had sent for Moses oft
lines and Moses had answered his
rrayer and the plague had been

God Trying to save.
Down in an Eastern State some
Years ago an insane asylum burned.
They took all the inmates to the hill
side. and there surrounded by atten-
dants, they endeavOred to prevent
them from rushing again To the
flames. but despite this, twenty of
them burst through the barriers and
stood IN 'front.' OF lne DullQluE, lauEn-
ing and jumping up and down. and
before hands could be laid upon them
eight of them had leaped into the
flames and We're consumed.
But think that is a type of insan-
ity prevalent even now. Men and wo-
men seem to be inviting Gods judg-
ment. God is doing all He can to
push you away and some Of you are
doing all you can to get into hell
while He is doing all he can to keep
YOU out. You are a fool! And he

meetings with an honest desire to
serve God, but have put OF yielding to

YOU, hell would be your portion. but
I pray God you may come now. End
