They drove TO town and hltched
the horse, and az thcy went up the
church steps, she said afterwards,
her heart nearly burst out of her
dress, she couldn't believe that she
was really going TO get him into the
church.
But they went in. and went down
the aisle and took seats When the
invitation was given, he came down
the aisle and fell on his face before
Jesus, and was saved. Then they
went home and raided the hen roost
and had one glorious feast. when
| saw him again he said:
Well Bill. I'm on the road to
heaven. My wife starved me into
IT,"
lie was thinking seriously Ilc
was moved by reverent inquiry.
Sometimes | think II IL were not
for wife many n man would have
been In hell long ago. so you will
never know until you got to glory,
how much you are Indebted to the
prayers and tears OF someone who
held you dear and true.
And YOU are likely to drift away
from God. Thou are not far from
the kingdom OF God."
| will never forget that there are
two gates which lead into the In
ner nature of every man and WON
an, One Is the heart. the other the
head. The heart must be purified
OF sin, no matter what your mind
may be able to conceive, II your
heart IL wrong that very heart will
condemn you.
II you want to get into my heart,
come through the door OF my rem
son. Now then, don't want to say
anything my friends, my sympathies
are too profound, my respect ls too
great, to say anything bitter and
rep oachful toward the man or
woman who Is honestly saying, "lf
you want to get into my heart con
vince my reason" And In all my
preaching here I have tried TO put
the hcartside OF the gospel. ! have
tried TO show you that religion ~
the most reasonable thing on earth
and that you must be moral idiot
that you don't see that n man is un-
reasonable II he IL unrighteous and
that righteousness and reasonable
ness are synOnomous terms. Nobody
is reasonable unless he is u Chris
tion.
Lawyers Good Christlana.
I don't know any class or profess
sion that IL more exposed to tho
taunts and the assaults OF intidelity
than the legal profession. why :?
They are always dealing with the
unpleasant side OF life Somebody IL
trying to put 1t over on tho other
fellow all the time. Somebody Is
trying TO pick somebody else's
pocket.
They live in an atmosphere OF
controversy. 1t would seem as
though the religion OF Jesus Christ
which IL n mere matter OF faith
would stand a small show with the
legal profession. and yet tho legal
profession. thank God, has furnished
some Of the brightest lights that
ever blazed in tho armament OF Je-
sus Christ
Charles @. Finney was trained for
a lawyer and the legal profession has
furnished some of the brightest
lights that have ever blazed for Je-
sus Christ and held up the bleeding
form of the Son OF God. I don't
know OF any man farther away from
