possessions but the world cannot
give you future hope. You don't
! know you will be alive tomorrow.
All the wealth of the world will
not and cannot give US assurance
of life. You don't know but that
you are listening to your funeral
sermon tonight
You don't know that you will
| live to see tomorrow, yet you will
say, Il will choose the pleasures
of the world instead of Jesus
Christ
Do you mean to say that you can
not have a good. time unless you
are a devil? The only way to
have a good time is to sin? Then
the prostitutes life is the only life
living in sin? You insult God.
Why Walt Till Tomorrow.
I see a great many people who
are old, gray-haired, or bald-head-
ed, with no hair on your head be-
tween you and perdition and you
think that after a while you will
turn to Christ The longer you
live the less joy you will extract
from the things of the world but
the tithes of the world will grip
your old shriveled, weazened-up
soul. There is many a young man
needs Jesus but he is unwilling to
turn from the gang.
There isn't anything worth
while getting unless you give up
something for 1t.
A young man gives up years of
study to get an education. He
gives US years Of apprenticeship to
master a trade. We do il in sci
ence, law and medicine, why
shouldn't we do It in religion?
Is it hard for you to give up the
devil to get Jesus? Is IT hard for
you to give up hell to get heaven?
II it is hard. the Lord pity you
for you haven't got good sense.
What we give up is nothing to
what Jesus Christ gave up. Just
think about what he gave up. Do
you think he whined about what he
had to give up?
He came into this old cursed
world OF ours to be damned and
spit upon and crucif1ed. Think of
what Jesus Christ gave up to get
you to Heaven. 1 am sick of hear
ing people talk of what they have
to give up.
%They will not come unto me
that they might have life"
Then here is another excuse.
The fear of man keeps a good
many away. Here is a verse of
scripture that seems to me is espe-
cially written for some men and

people out of the kingdom and
away from God. Many a person
knows he will lose money if he be-
comes a Christian. The brewer,
the saloonkeeper, the woman in
the red-light district, the fellow
that sticks the gun under your
nose. They wouldn't sacrifice it
and so they choose between the sin
and Jesus Christ and no man has
ever been lost by following close
to God.
No good thing will be withheld
from those that walk upright1y.
And to be shady in your transac-
tions with others in the world is
wrong and a great many would
rather keep this up than to accept
Jesus Christ.
Take God Into Business.
God will damn you in the hottest
hell II you make your clerks lie.
If you sell goods OF your shelves
that are misrepresented, just to
make a few dirty dollars.
I would rather walk over a
rough and stony road to heaven
than to ride to hell on dirty money.
There is many a fellow that gets
rich robbing the orphan, or the
widow and he is too slick to get
caught in the meshes Of the law.
And he goes down the street and
so and so says, There he goes. ="
And his name is honored and it is
only necessary to attach his name
to any project to insure success.
Bye and bye he dies and there is
an uprOar and fuss, and a pow
pow over his old carcass at the fu-
neral and they pass resolutions as
long as from here to the back door,
and send copy to his wife and
the members of the club, and the
lodges and the other things he was
a member of, stating whereases and
whereises and resolves, etc, while
the bones of his victims lie in the
potter's field.
Do you mean to tell me there Is
no hell for guy like that?
Many a fellow lives today with
out a thought of God in his bust
ness, society, politics or home. No
thought of God in his lodge; no
thought of God in his church.
I would rather undertake to save
10 .drunkards for Jesus Christ than
one fellow who will scheme to get
rich quick.
The world can give you present

Taking Excuses" as his subject
Rev. Mr.. Sunday last evening point
ed out the futility OF putting of till
tomorrow to take the step that will
lead to better lives. Continuing he
said:
Nobody needs to be lost. God
provided salvation for all but all
will not be saved. I wish they
would bat they will not accept the
salvation he offers.
The atonement of Jesus Christ
covers all the sins of the people. He
tasted death for every man and
therefore he is not willing that any
should perish but that all might
come.
If God could have his way there
would not be any lost. None are
lost because Of any purpose or de-
cree. God knew before this cam
would be saved. God knows from
the beginning TO the end. God
knows now every man or woman
that gives me his or her hand and
do not know one.
God knows everything. But God
is giving every one here a chance,
but God knows whether you will or
will not accept it, so it is up to
you.
God provided salvation to all
who will accept It through faith in
Jesus Christ. But God knows you
wouldn't do it.
It is your fault. None are lost
because they have gone so deep n
sin. None are lost because they
are too weak to lead a Christian
life. No one has made a success
of life without God Unto him
that is able to keep us from fall
ing"
And if you can trust God to save
you, trust him to keep you. If he
can take you out, he can keep you
out, if you will only do what he
wants you to do.
Sin Keeps People Out.
Sin-That is keeping muItitudes
out The men and women know
they need Jesus but they know
they will have to give up sin so
they fight the question out. And
though the pleasures you derive
from that sin are as unending as
rope of sand or a cloud Of smoke
Or vapor-it passes away. If you
prefer It, God can't do anything.
The love of money keeps some

eth a snare"
When the invitation is given, you
will keep your seat. You are
afraid of coming across for Jesus
Christ. You are afraid to come out
boldly for God.
Afraid to Live Religion.
Oh! men will wrangle for re-
ligionS they will fight for it, and
they will die for it: but there is
many a fellow who hasn't the cour-
age to live for it. ANY old coward
but religious coward.
know of nothing so contempt
BILE as the man-fearing spirit.
Many a fellow crouches and grow
els in ehe dust for fear he will lose
the favor OF men and he laughs at
men who do that. He laughs at
them. Such a man is like the cha
lneleon. He is ready to change his
co1ors according to the views OF
the people who are with him. When
he is with a Republican, he is Re-
publican. When he is with Dem
ocrat. he is Democratic. When he
is with a Socialist, he is a Social,

It takes the highest type of man
hood and womanhood to live for
Jesus Christ in this old God-hst-
ing. hiskv-soaked. ntaterialistic
world that is going to hell so fast
that she is breaking all speed lin

There are hypocrites IN the
church, ard II you wait until there
arc none in the church before you
are willing to be convinced, you
will never be.
You say you belong to a lodge.
There are hypocrites in lodges.
You don't say that you will not
belong to your lodge because there
are hypocrites in it. There are
hypocrftes there. I wouldn't have
anything to do with a lodge If /
wereiyou.
So there are hypocrites every
where. But that does not hurt re-
ligion any.
There are hypocrites in business,
politics, in sin, and so don't you
offer the excuse that you will not
be convinced until all the hypo-
