filth was disgusting to me. and the
Ftouch was uauscating and / could
see nothing iu the ocsspool but the
occasion Of "a protest against the Of

sun, with moro than human insight,
ran it, slender finguors OF gold down
INTO that corrupted mass OF nlth
and II searched among Il for one
long lost touch of beauty
God Saw Beauty.
II warmed and II wuocd and Il
kissed and 1t begged and it CoaXed

couldn't see that God could soc.
What a world of bitterness and
criticism would vanish II We only
made II rule In our life never TO
brand a man or woman as hopeless
~ and hclplcssly bad until after we
had bankruptod our powers trying
TO make them decent and live a de
cent life
Can we forget one friend,
Can we forget one face.
Which Chcercd us toward our end.
Which nerved us for our race?
No. Let me ask you question.
Why docs God love those who are
unworthy OF His love and never re
.ciprocat" or show tho slightest ar
fcction or gratitude? Let me ask
you a question. why does He love
tho unlovcly? ! will answer. why
does the sun shine? Because II
can. I help II. That's its business and
it does nothing else but shine. Why
does God love? God can't help Il,
its His nature to love. There isn't
a man or woman on the face Of this
earth that God Almighty does not
love.
God hates sin. God makes dis
tinction between gin and the sinner,
God hates sin. God will not com
promise with sin. but God loves the
sinner and God is doing all He can
to keep the sinner out OF he'll.
When the, doctor comes to your
house and shoots his scalpcl into the
fostering sore that isboriug It's way
to your vitals, the doctor loves you,
he hates the thing that threatens to
put you in tho coffin. he wants TO
save your life he is your friend.
God IL the friend Of the sinner, but
God is tho enemy OF sin, lie won't
compromise with sin. never has and
never will. God Is at war with sin.
War murders happiness and because
God loves us. God wants us to for
sake sin and you are a fool IL you
want to do what God doesn't want
you to do, I don't want TO know you.
! think one reason why 80 many
people are SO blind to the love OF
God is that they are always meas
uring God hv the rules that apply
TO human beings. We love anybody
as long as they love us. when they
cease To love US. We cast them off,
and pass them up. Not SO with God ,
II God would cast oft all who don
love Him. half OF the world would
be cropping around today. but God
still loves them. There isn't a per-
son on earth that God hates. God
wants them all to do right and for
sake their sins
Now human love Is very change
able Yes some people YOU thought
a good deal OF, or who thought n
uppI uegI pf Won Yesterday hate
