THE HIRED MAN

$50 many preachers are telling us
about the grace Of God; what is this
Grace of God?" The grace of God is
the time after you sign the armistice
that YOU are given in which to make
The absolute surrender. In some states
there are three days of grace on some
notes, That is, if your note and mort
GAGE are due on the tenth, you can
have until the thirteenth to pay the
cash and save your property. Our
debt of sin is due to God and his grace
gives us little time to think it over.
We sign the armistice and get Gods
grace for shorter or longer time,
onIv to find later that absolute sur
render is the least that will satisfy his
demands. When the armistice time
and terms have run out, the barrage
will be laid down by the angels and
we are in for it.
"How can one absolutely know that
he pleases God?" You cannot know it
absolutely; you must take His word
for it. When he goes ahead and tells
us in his word just what will please
him and what will displease him, we
must take it for what it says and at
what it says. You know best that we
have a God from the fact that he
states thatNwe have. Of course if He
has made p false statement. we are
unfortunate to say the least. r
Don't You think that if the United
States had a car now or some auto
crat who would fell us all where to
head in at that we would be better
off? In other words don't you feel
that our boosted liberty is rushing us
head long into anarchy" The end
of republicanism and democracy is
anarchy if we leave God out of it.
If we are going to leave God out of
any government, then we want some
one man who can behead and Danish.
Then this procedure will last two gen
erations and then the real anarchy will
follow. Democracy is all right and
republicanism is 0. K. so long as God
is in them, but to attempt to use
either without God. is to invite the
fall of all stability.
as there such thing as absolute
loyalty in the welded life? | don't
think there is" If | get your ques-
ton right, l would reply by saying
that you are crazy. There is but little
infidelity of this nature The percent
age is so trifling that nothing but a
diseased imagination could put it as
high as one-half of one per
cent. These fellows who sit around
and talk the other side of this ques-
ton. are doing it for an excuse, and
you know how small the per cent is
who are trying out this excuse on you.
do you think that the story of
Jonah and the whale can be depended
upon as actually having taken place p
am absolutely sure the story took
place, for have it myself, in print.
If you ask me if the great fish swal-
lowed Jonah and later spit him out on
dry land, ! reply, that that is the way
It was. The story states that God
prepared great fish to do this job.
Now when God prepares anything. he
usually gets it about right. You have
gotten hold of that story about a
whale not being able to swallow any
thlng OF much size. Not long since
fish was caught off one of the eastern
coast points, in whose stomach was
another fish twenty-one feet long,
alive. The fish inside the fish could
have swallowed a man very well, for
in this second fish were other fishes as
big as man. Then besides that, when
Gods word states matter. it Is true
whether 1t is true or not true. How is
that last for orthodoxy?
DO you know that our town al
night is getting to be pretty fast
little burg? Do you know that there
IS something vitality wrong with our
present thought on moral issues
know that we have just two classe.
