lie SAID 10 the man, StTelCH loT III

came whole, like unto the other,
and he went out of there with
two hands instead of one
1t was around this theme, the
Biblical story of the man with the
withered hand, that Billy Sunday
built his afternoon sermon yes
terday. The sermon was short,
one of the shortest he has vet
preached in Cincinnati. as it took
only one hall hour for its deliv-
cry.
oh, how many people can YOU
find of the same kind everywhere
poor people that cannot do the
things they would" he said. re-
ferring to the inability Of the man
with the withered hand to do a
mans work.
Il find them everywhere ; in the
church. in the lodge, i'll society, in
the home. on the street, at places
OF business everywhere. my
friends. YOU can hnd men and Wo-
men lust like that. because they
have allowed something to come
into their lie that has withereG

What fools they are -
Continuing his theme and urg
ing his audience to take advan-
ta@c of all opportunities in order
that the responsibilities might be
met the subject at his sermon
was "Opportunity and Response

Here is a man known as 4

SwearS. What is the matter !:
The poor idiots have allowed
something to come into their life
and that something has Withered
their good name. Now it is use
less to ask them to do personal
work; often. my friends it be
comes unless, because it is no
longer used.
in Mammoth Cave there are
fish without eyes. There was a
time that nature made eyes in
those fish. but, having no use for
eyes in those dark, subterranean
caves, kindly nature stopped max
ing what was not used and took
it UP and invested it in fin and
scale and tail. So, if you have
something and lose it you lose it
because you do not use it.
God gives you a chance to ex-
ercise your faith; if you don't ex-
ercise your faith and use it you
lose it. It's true menatlly, it's
true physically. and it's true spir-
itualy.
THE processes of nature with
or away through disuse. There
was 4 time when they could have
believed in Jesus. but they would
not believe. and now when they
wanted to believe they could not
believe, because in the interim
they had gotten so far away from
God that even though they want
ed to believe they couldn't be-
lieve.
THAT is the price they pay
God gives them opportunities.
There is not a drunkard on earth
that didn't have an opportunity
to stop drinking. There isn't a
man in Sing Sing that didn't have
an opportunity to stay out of
there if he wanted to. There isn't
a woman who's prostitute who
did not have a chance to stay out
Of it. There isn't man or wo-
man in hell who did not have a
chance to go to heaven if they
wanted to.
God is giving you the oppor-
tunity. don't let it go by. You've
never had one like this in the his
tory of your city and you proba
bly, never will have another. The
Lord has given us this great
chance to do something that will
make the world better and dry
the tears on the cheeks of evil"
Mr. Sunday interrupted his
sermon to admonish a woman
who started to shout, not to dis
turb the audience.
"Let me do the talking. sister,

He again slammed the Chris
tian Scientists and their beliefs

on them as insane" he added. re-
ferring to some Of their beliefs
He ended his sermon with shor'
prayer.
