(Sayings culled from sermons by
Evangelist Wells.)
There is no person in your county
so bad and poor that he can not be
saved by the blood of Jesus Christ.
and no person so good and rich that he
can be saved without it.
We don't need to know more, we
need to DO more.
You have the right to ask me four,
questions: "Are you kindly disposed
toward us as community" "Have1
you come to help US live. better lives 2"
"Do you practice what you preach Z"
"By what authority do you preach? 2"
Some people are more anxious to be
in style with their neighbors than
with God.
Don't forget that one person with
God is always majority.
1t just takes about one good wheat
crop for some farmers to say goodbye
to God.
Sin is a curse which no one wants
to own.
When a person gets sick of the sin
business it does not take much preach
ing to convert him.
Every church has it's cold-water bri-
gade, whose business it is to pour
cold water on everything the preacher
does.
1t is cold-blooded Indifference that
is paralyzipg the church today.
Some people would like to live the
life of the wicked and die the death
of the righteous.
know some protesting Christians
who are walking so close to the line
of separation from the world, that the
Recording Angel has to use survey
ing instrument to find out on which
side they live.
The greatest privilege that can come
to you is the winning of soul to
Jesus Christ.
The place most like hell is where
the most people turn their back to God;
the place most like heaven is where the
most people live for God; so you can
make your own town like a hell or
heaven.
Most churches have plenty Of three
things: machinery, music and MILL
merry.
The reason so many people go to the
devil is they have no other place to go.
It is everybody's business how you
live.
