to receive from the world His own,
Jesus! His name shall be called
Wonderful"
We see in Jesus a priest, great
er than Moses. We see in Jesus a
king, greater than David We see
in Jesus a commander, greater than
Joshua; philosopher, greater than
Solomon and prophet, greater than
Elijah.
We talk about the great people of
earth, Alexander the Great. We talk
! about Caesar, the Great; Frederick,
! the Great; Peter, the Great; Napo-
! leon, the Great. There was only one
truly great character in all history
and that was Jesus Christ
| And the children cluster at His
| feet Womanhood places the crown
on His brow, and the enthusiasm of
youth forsakes all to follow Jesus
/ Christ
Dead Waken
! Into Life
Culture whispers, We know Thou
art a teacher, come from God, for ~
man spake like this man spake," AMI
/ empires fling their crowns and their
sceptres at His feet. The seething
seas throw their arms around Him
when they hear Him say, Peace, be
still" The dead waken into life,
and the lame leap like the harris af-
/ ter the water brooks, and the deaf
hear and death sinks away like a
wolf into his den at the stern COM
mand of the mandate of the prince
of peace.
The name of Jesus stands alone.
We can link other names in history.
Caesar we will tie up with Alexander.
Napoleon we will couple with Well
inaton. Fox we will link to Pitt.
! LonqfeIlow, with Tennyson would
make a good companion. Wesley and
Whitefield. Cromwell and Lincoln;
but the name of Jesus Christ stands
alone whs<e nobody is ever qualified
or ever will be to stand in the COM
pany of Jesus. He is one alone.
Ellis name shall be called Wonder
full" That is, He is above the com
mon or the ordinary He is alone.
He is in a class by Himself His
name" said the prophet 500 years
before, Shall be Wonderful
i True to His name this wonderful
Savior is saving now. Lift up your
eyes, look at the wonderful things
you are seeing take place right here
That is doing it? Jesus Christ.
Nothing else but the power of God
manifest through the prayers and
the sympathy and the cooperation
and work of men and women. God
speaking through human instruments
John Baptist
Wonders.
When John the Baptist was thrown
into prison he was little worried
and he had heard of Jesus and he
sent word, and he said, art thou He
that should come, or look We for
ever?"
Jesus said. "You go back and tel
John that the poor have the gospel
preached to them, that the lame walk
; the blind see, the deaf have then
ears opened. You go back and tel
, that to John" that is all.
He didn't argue to prove He was
t the Son of God, He just talked abou
| His works you go back and tel
T John what l am doing"
f They went back and looking
/ through the grated bars, they said
: John, He told US to come and tel
you that those who are captive are
set free, and the lame leap and they
t run"
! John said, you needn't tell me an!
? more, He is the Son of God, for no
body could do that but Jesus"
So, when you see what is goin;
l on around about you, if that ism
2 enough to convince you, l haven
I any respect for you. l will treat yol
, with kindness, but then that is a
! far as l can go. / look with pity OF
f you. And so, lift your eyes and see
T Miracles Are
Not Uncommon.
Miracles are not uncommon, the.
are taking place right here by tn
5 same power. A surgeon who coul'
/ save 95 per cent of all that come t,
/ him for operations, or who coul
t cure 90 per cent of all his patient
2 would be a wonderful man, and We
J. the disciples were constantly findin
/ cases that were helples and hope
: less, and bring them to Jesus Chris
/ A word. a look, touch, and thei
8 trouble was gone. He is just tn
( same today His name shall b
/ called Wonderful"
And it is wonderful this Savio
q can save so quickly, quicker than 20
It can speak, think, receive a presen
It this Savior could save you.
And the events that accompanie
r His death were wonderful. The SIX
4 was darkened, the sun hid its fac
II and yelled it, the earthquake shoe
g. the city, many of the dead came OF
E. of the graves and appeared to the
D. friends, and the veil in the tempt
Ie was rent from top to bottom. HeI
