Hail to God! l stand with the best

Greatest of
Earth Christians
What are you to do with the Christ

and they will come clambering up the
coral reefs, which are but the tomb
stones erected in the land of tomor-
row, and the dark lowering clouds, and
the inhabitants Of the deep for the
only eyewitness to the heartrending
obsequies-then shall the devil, the
arch enemy of our souls, be there to
accuse us. When God will arise and
say:
Hey, demon of the pit of hell, loose
that man and let him go. Don't you
see he has an advocate with the Faith
er, even Jesus Christ, My Son? Loose
him and let him go!"
And then the angel choir shall rise
tier on tier and sing Loose him and
let him co.
And then the devil will take his last
and fatal plunge down into the re-
motest recesses of the abyss of eternal
hell and up from the inferno below
will come the hopeless wall, Lost!
Lost We have no advocate in hell
Lost! What will you do then? You
can sit out there and sneer at me, you
can damn me, call me crude, illiterate,
but, old man, have got you beat.
Now, our acceptance with God is
going to depend on what we do with
Jesus. The viIest sinner on earth II
he accepts Jesus Christ will be &C.

spurn and reject you.
| In the Bank OF England is a ma
chine-marvelous mechanism. 1t Is
used to weigh gold sovereigns. The
Bank Of England never takes gold
for its face value. Our banks do
They always weigh gold because gold

That is nothing compared with the
scrutiny that we have got to pass
through when we stand before God
] We can't muster because of ouI
wealth or intellectual standing 1t is
because of our acceptance or rejection
of Jesus Christ, and then our becom
ing children of God depends on what
becomes of Jesus.
You know there is an insidious
heresy, and that is the universal
fatherhood and brotherhood of man
| that we are all one flesh. But if you
are not child of God, you are crea
ture of God We are all creatures ot
God. Nobody is child of God but .
| Christian. And so. therefore, you are
my brother in the flesh, that is, yol
are human and l am human, but you
are not my brother in the spirit, unless
you are Christian. Therefore, God Ii
the Creator of us all, but God is the
father of none but those who believe
in Jesus Christ.
Rebirth Necessary
For Christians.
There was one way you came into
| the world-you were born. There i:
one way you will get into heaven
you. must be born again. You have
had a physical birth, you must have
spiritual birth and that must come
through Jesus Christ as the Son o.
God.
Does Jesus Christ lack anything il
your esteem? Wherein does He fai

If God should ask you wherein Jesu:
Christ doesn't measure up to you

What could you suggest that woulC
