Sins OF This Age
Jesus said, launch out into the
deep and let down your nets for a
draught.' The trouble with too
many Of us is that we cling TO the
rocks OF temptation when the safest
place in a storm is the deep water
Of Gods trust and love"

able with the lives Of Christians who

and salvation while they continue
10 cling 10 evil connections

Two Weak Links.
In opening Mr.. Jones declared
that there were but two weak links
IN the organization which is cam
paigning 10 make the revival sue
cess These he said. were the cot
tage PRAYER meetings and the small
attendance at the afternoon meet
ings. He made a plea for better at
tendance at both services.
The difference between the fisher
men and too many of those who
profess TO be Christians today is
followed the directions OF Jesus
while too many Christians hold q
the rocks along the shores. which
symbolic the things OF q worldly
life.
He especially plead for that class
and the Christians who take their
faith carelessly.
Must Do Things.
There are too many people In
this country who are waiting TO pray
until they feel like doing it. i dc
things every day which 1 don't fee
like doing but / do them because
they are duties. We get up I'm the
morning because IL is a duty and
prayer IS the primary duty of US all
The safest place when the storm
comes is not near the rocks but OF
the bosom OF the ocean of Gods
trust ard love. Too many want &c
get something they can see and
mold 10. they arc afraid 10 get away
from the shore. And too many have
faith 80 long as they are poor OF
when they are In trouble. Nher
things are clear again they lose IL
