the lands which they may reach, in this and all
coming time, for the sake of Jesus, our Lord
our Strength, and our Redeemer.
In the front of all I have to say, will
place two passages of Scripture. The first
is in the 65th Chapter of the Book of the
Prophet Isaiah
have spread out My hands all the day unto
rebellious people, which walked in a way that
is not good, after their own thought people
that provoketh Me to My face continually,
sacrificing in gardens, and burning incense up
on bricks; which sit among the graves, and
lodge in the secret places; which eat swne's
flesh, and broth of abomnable things is in their
vessels; which say, Stand by thyself, come not
to me, for | holier than thou: these
smoke in My nose, fire that burneth all
the day. Behold, it is written before Me: will
not keep silence, but will recompense, yea, |
will recompense into their bosom, your own
iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers to-
gether, saith Jehovah, which have burned in
cense upon the mountains, and blasphemed Me
upon the hills therefore will | first measure
their work into their bosom.
In the 9th Chapter of the Book of Revel-
alton at the 18th Verse:
By these three plaques was the third part
of men killed, by the fire and the smoke and
the birthstone, which proceeded out Of their
mouths
The People Who Provoke God to His Own
Face are the People who Think Their
Own Thoughts
The people who say, Can I not think as
I like? Can I not do as | please? I de-
mand the liberty to think as [ like, to drink
what like, to smoke what like, to gamble
as | like, and commit adultery as | please,
T hot I
what like, to speak what like, and to do
as | like generally.
These are the people who are making
bee-line for hell.
1t was upon that plea that Tanmany re-
turned to power in New York. 1t is upon
that plea that every large city in America
can be carried for the Devil, and unless the
Internal doctrine inside of that false plea is
resisted, all the eternal principles of God and
Justice will be swept before that smoke that
is coming out of the bottomless pit.
The Smoke of Infidelity, the Smoke of I'M
purity, the Smoke of Intemperance, are
Trinity of Devilry that Destroys Humanity
By these three a third part of man will be
killed By the fire, by the smoke, and by
the birthstone that comes out of their
mouths
This is the day when the sixth seal power
is being manifested, out of the mouth of the
power of hell. I know their power is in
their mouth and in their tails.
For their tails were like unto serpents, and
have heads; and with them do they hurt.
We are face to face in the last days with
the most perilous times. AS we go down
into the Valley of Decision, and draw the
Sword of the Spirit for the army of Je-
hovah, | tell you the Word is ringing
through the earth:
By these three plaques was the third part of
men killed.
Abaddon, or Apallyon has come up. He
has taught hundreds of millions to smoke,
and upon the earth today, out of the mouths
of men, there is proceeding unhallowed fire,
the smoke and the birthstone of which is
choking humanity. 1t is going on.
By these three plaques was the third part of
men killed.
By the fire, by the smoke, and by the brim-
stone which issued out of their mouths.
Today just as cool clear-headed business
man, I want you to calmly look at these
facts.
will put them in simple language: have
spoken of infdelity, intemperance, and i'm
purity.
l have made little calculation I am
within the mark when [ say that
The Direct Cost of the Internal Liquor is
$1,300000000
to the people who drink it, every year. in
the United States of America alone
| am dealing with this country for the
time being. You can apply the figures in
about the same proportion to the British
Empire, or rather to those portions of the
British Empire in which the Anglo Saxon
race predominates; because there are por-
tions of the British Empire where there are
millions and tens of millions that never
touch Intoxicating liquors. Never! They
are forbidden by their religion to make or
to sell or to drink Intoxicating liquors.
am not talking of Christians now. am
talking of Mohammedans, because, unfor-
tunately, Christians in the British Empire,
as in America are by law licensed to make,
to sell and to drink liquid fire and distilled
damnation to any extent that they like
Shame! that the Mohammedan religion
should forbid vices which the Christian re-
ligion-falsely so-called-permitS and even
licenses!
Can it be wondered if Moslems hate such
a travesty of true religion?
Now put this first figure, thirteen hun
