is HARMFUL TO
Says Mr.. Sunday In Sermon Last
Night On Subject what Shall
/ Do 10 Be Saved"
BIZ GOTTA, BARTHOLOMEW.

Believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ and thou shalt be saved" is
the Apostle Paul's answer to the
subject Of Rev. Mr.. Sundays ser
mon last evening at the tabernacle
Fisht Must I Do to Be Saved %
But the salvation Of his text, he
said, is salvation from sin which is
the transgression Of the law and
every sinner is liable in accordance
with the law which he trane-
crosses, to punishment.
Christianity, said Mr.. Sunday, is
"a great cleanser and wherever re-
Igion interferes with a mans bus
mess he's in a dirty business
don't care whether he's a rum
seller, crap shooter or a multi
millionaire. II religion cuts of
your revenue, you are a moral pau
per" And in speaking Of the cry
of personal liberty, he said: THE
world must learn this lesson and
learn it quick, too. You can I'M
prison the messenger. but you can
not lock up his message You can
sharpen your jack knife, but you
can't cut off a sunbeam Stopping
y
won't put the fire out when the
alarm sounds. You will go to hell
anyway If you believe there is a
hell or not That won't keep you
out"
True conviction, he said. is nee
essary to be saved. And | want TO
tell you that when you realize that
you are lost, there is nothing in
this world that will satisfy you I'M
til you find peace with God-no
music, no merriment, no revelry, no
Joy, no intoxication, nothing on
earth until you are saved by faith
in Jesus Christ. II there is a feel
ing in your heart that the world
isn't satisfying and you have a
sense of your need of something
that you do not possess, that your
wealth and culture and learning
cannot give it to you, 1 say to you
come to Jesus Christ and he will
satisfy you"
Blessings Follow Acceptance.
'God doesn't owe you salvation"
continued Mr.. Sunday HE owes
you the opportunity to accept, but
he doesn't owe 1t to you if you
don't want it. But he offers it to
you full, free, perfect and eternal
lf you will come Gods way-if you
won't then lett alone. You can't
have II on any other grounds"
Blessings follow the acceptance
of Jesus Christ, he said. Some
times it is the consciousness that
you have sinned and that the
curse of the broken law rests upon
you like q prisoner in the. death
house waiting for the time when he
will walk through the little door
from which no one has ever re-
turned, that some people have
deeper conviction OF sin than they
had before"
what must I do to be saved?"
Mr.. Sunday answers the all import
ant question thus:
Some won't give up their adul-
terry, their profanity. Some won't
give up their lying. they are IN
willing to admit that they are lost
sinners Oh, some are proud Of
their morality. Some are SO proud
of their social position. Some are
50 proud of their money. Some are
SO proud Of their culture. Some
IRE SO proud Of their education.
slone are SO proud of their clothes.
Some are proud that they proud.
end some are proud that they are
net proud But God has something
20 say about this.
Come unto Me- said Jesus
not to a creed.
Come unto Me'-not to the 20
articles of confession.
