Sparks From the Anvil OF the Noted
Evangelist.
THE Lord will take you at your
word. II you ask him to let you alone
he will let you alone. ..:-
You vial never win fight by COM
promising. Fight The thing straight
out or you Will lose. ,.,
90 The man who spreads evil in the
world has nobody to blame but HIM
self if the evil proves to be a boodn-
erang and returns upon him and his
loved ones. .--rf
You can always count on results
when you do your level best in the
name Of Jesus Christ. We
: One Of the greatest things in life
is to do something that will help 9TH
ers after You are gone. a.
- God is directing this meeting, and
there are not enough devils in hell to
keep it from doing good. :n5
II have little patience with these
new 'isms and 'ologies. The religion. OF
Jesus Christ has been tried and prov
en-, but they have. not. ,." ,
= You don't have to live on a very.
high plane in order to reach the ideal
of some Of these new-fangled relig-
ions.
Some of these Methodist stewards
don't do anything but to make mess
of the stew.
The beauty about the Christian re-
ligion Is. that there are always new
heights to reach, new pleasures to en-
! JOY.
- The plan that has Jesus in 1t VIII
work, but the plan that hasn't got Je-
sus in it isn't worth working.
Theology is all right in way, hut
.he theolog:: that doesn't make the old
truths plainar isn't worth foolins with.
:. Theology bears the same relation
to religion that botany bears to fow-
ers. Botany is merely some mans
opinion of flowers, and theology Is
merely some mans opinion ot relis-
ION. You car change theology or
botany but you can't change religion
or flowers. ,t' go,
- The doctrine Of evolution is all
bunk. We can improve a species, but
we cannot change a specie: or create
new, one. No OK eyer became a
horse, no potato ever became an or
ange, and no monkey ever became
man. ..r r. "-s
1t isn't prayer that saves you; II Is
the Jesus in the prayer that saves
you.
- The woman who touched the hem
of his garment was cleansed, but 1t
was not the garment, but the Jesus In
the garment, that did the cleansing.
Touch the thing that Jesus Is IN
and be healed. Join the church, read
the Bible, pray. Jesus is In the
church. He is in the Bible, and he Is
in prayer.
Love is the best thing in the world
ard character is the greatest thing in
the world. ....' 'r
Character remains after every
thing else is gone. You may bury q
man, but his character will remain and
exert it's influence for good or evil.
Read the New Testament and find
il Jesus Christ was all gentleness.
You may be surprised. :: 1ear.
Doubt is the brake on the wheels
of Christian and moral progress,
-Faith is the capital of religion.
Take what faith you have and start
with 1t and God will add to your cap
itnl. ..., .af - '. g..
- Some men say they do not believe
in the divinity OF Christ, but no man
vet has found fault In him. r',. ..
If you say it doesn't matter what
e. man believes SO long as he is sincere
You ore foolish. 1t. does make a DIFF
ference. '-s... ''- ..
Before Jesus came upon earth wo-
man was a slave; today she is free.
And she owes her changed condition
to the doctrines Of Jesus Christ
When some so-ealled Christians
smile they look as If 1t hurts tneH'
and you are glad when they cease.
Il have no patience with the man
who, when asked il he Is a Christian
replies, 81 hope So" If he is a,Chris-
tian he knows that he is and is eager
to proclaim the fact. .'.
Il despise a machine politician
above all things on earth-no matter
W ether he Is 4 Democrat or Repub-
lican.
Il have often wondered what would
have been the history OF early Chris
tianity If there had been newspapers
in those days. Jesus would have been
the greatest newspaper sensation in all
history, and the newspapers would
have told the people all about him.
There is no second chance at sal
vation. If you don't get that matter
settled before the undertaken pumps
YOU full of embalming fluid you are
lost forever.
1t did not pay PLATE to try to
please the crowd that hated Jesus. He
