were driven home.

In the sixth chapter OF Luke, in In
forty sixth verse-'Why call Sc me
Lord, Lord. and do not the things |
say" f43afs
Why call yourself Democrat and
then vote the Republican, ticket?
Why call yourself honest and then
lie?
why say that You are pure and
then in sin?
why cali We me Lord. Lord. and
do not the things which | say"
What did Jesus mean? DO you be-
lieve he meant the things that are re-
corded that he said, or do you believe
that he said one thing and meant an
other? Do you believe that he utter
ed things that were impractical and
impossible for us to carry into effect
and then told US he'd damn us If we
did not live up 10 it7 I don't believe
you are fool enough 10 charge him
with that and if you are that doesn't
justify the fact that YOU are a fool if
you do il,
Did he put the standard 100 high
for human attainment and then tell
us he'd damn us If we didn't reach it =?

! read where a Bishop of the Eng
lish Church said that the teachings
of Jesus Christ should be regarded as
ideal and were never intended TO be
scarried into effect or lived.
l knew OF Y. NJ. G. A. that had Ii
debating society, and II just decided
that under social political. economi-
cal conditions, that the teachings of
Jesus should be regarded as ideal and
were not intended to be lieved. yet
they both had the audacity to call
themselves Christians
Another man said Christianity had
failed. He lied. Christianity can no
more fail than God can fail or that
the sun can fail The Church can fail
but there is no failure In Christianity
for that is Of God. One man said it's
never been tried II hasn't been with
a good many 49,.
will admit that .Chritsianity. has
fallen way beneath love as the origi-
nal standard. Love is the dominant
prin eli lie of the world: love can never
be defeated. Love may be checked:
love may be prevented for the time
being, in accomplishing its AIM but
love will drill! a tunnel through all
the mountains of opposition and reach
the goal for touchdown. Love--it's
the mightiest thing in the world!
And the world is starving today for
the manifestation of the love of God
in the hearts of men and women.
