To the audience of over thousan'
people, Mr.. Johnson preached Of
Come, For All Things Are Nov
Ready" selecting as his theme. ''un
| reasonable excuses Mr.. johnson
said, if a man could go into tn
! business of selling excuses that PEG

| multi-millioraire. The first excus'
! that comes to me is I'm not such
/ great sinner after all. That make
! no difference, for all have sin. 1t il
not the fact of a lesser sin, but thu
! fact that you do sin. If you say yol
do not sin, then you make God

| weakest link and man who
is guilty of breaking one of Cod:
laws is guilty of all. For by grace
are We saved, not by works of right
eousness which you have done, but
by the washing away of your sins BY
the blood of Jesus Christ.
| am now thinking of the follow
ing excuses: A just God is too loving
to punish severely; There are toe
many hypocrites in the church;
don't just feel like it; l am afraid
cannot hold out; 1 am such a great
sinner; l am backslider; l don't
believe; l love pleasure; Not tonight.
Although Mr.. Johnson fully and
completely cleared away any obstacle
IL pin he
placed more emphasis on the tenth
one. Those words, Not Tonight
are the most dangerous and terrible
you could possibly say. We nave no
hope for tomorrow, yet most people
live like they thought that they
would be here a million years from
now" 1 again bring you the words
of my text, Come For All Things
Are Now Ready"
Sunday Morning
Mr.. Johnson's subject for Sunday
morning was "Consecration." We
sing the hymn, "Consecrate Me Now
To Thy Service Lord" That is not
scripture. God does not consecrate
us. We must offer ourselves as liv-
ing sacrifices, God wants no dead
ones. The church is being killed
with dignity; the church is full of
forms. and where there is SO much
form, there religion it at the lowest
ebb. God has not chosen you to go
to church warm about eighteen
inches of pew once week, and then
go home and criticise his preacher.
He has chosen you to go and bring
forth ruit. We are in battle with
Cambridge against all the powers of
He'll, and by the grace of God we are
going to win out. Its just as sensi-
BILE to talk about heavenly devils, as
it is to talk about worldly christians.
l don't find anything in my Bible to
give us that loop-hold out. Some
people give to church according to-
their means, others according to
their meanness.
Sunday Afternoon
Miss Killian spoke at the Zion M.
E. Church, Sunday afternoon, pre-
senting her famous address Mary
of Bethany" Miss Killian's theme
and prayer were that there might be
more Mary Of Bethany" in Cam
bridge who would be willing to
give their most precious gifts and
strength toward the promotion of
Gods kingdom here. Women can
rise to heights of love and service,
or sink to depths of sin and shame"
proaches a woman, he 'commendeSl
her. We have more at stake than
men, and when the record of this
shall have been written,
may Jesus say of the women of Cam
bridge. She hath done what She
could" At the same service, Mr..
Chas. w. Mainwaring, pianist for the
party, thrilled and delighted the
audience with one of his famous pipe
organ solos, and Misses Lucy Ruark
and Alice Wright, charmed the
ladies present with a vocal duet. Mr..
Johnson held meeting for men on
ly at the Tabernacle, at the same
hour, with the building full to the
limit.
Sunday Night
With every available inch of space
taken, both standing and sitting, and
with twenty people IN each of the
prayer rooms of the Tabernacle,
where they could not even see the
Evangelist, but could hear him
speak; with faces at every window
and many people turned away, Mr..
Johnson brought to that mixture OF
sermon based on
"Zaccheus And The Sycamore Tree. -"
In Explanation Mr.. Johnson said:
There are quite a few Zaccheus"
in this world today. People think
they are going to get a ''Look-in"
without Jesus knowing it. There is
only one way you will ever get to-
Heaven. If you are sinner, and
willing to admit that you are lost,
then take Jesus at his word when he
said Il came to seek and to save
that which is lost"
do you know that the little slot
in board through which a gambler
pushes the chips for the "rake-otf
for the house." is large enough to
push his reputation, his wife's hap
piness, his children's future, his ear
thly possessions, and everything he
owns? Your culture can't save you,
your friends can't save you, your
money can't save you; only the blood
of Jesus Christ can ever save you.
If you are going on iii sin God says,
BE sure your sins will find you out"
and when God says" Be Sure" then
you may be certain and look out for
the consequences that are sure to
follow.
eff you are in business that you
can't afford to be a Christian, then
you better get out of it just as
quick as possible. AS you lie down
to sleep you have either the course
of God or the blessing of God on
your house If you don't confess
Christ as your Savior then you have
no backbone. Clean up! There are
two bidders for every lost soul under
the sound of my voice tonight;
Jesus on the one hand; Satan on the
other. Shall it be Jesus Christ and
Heaven, or Satan and Help
