skinned mother rocks her baby to
sleep by the lullaby of the oceans
waves, as well as they know it in
the cathedral no matter where, man
is a sinner by nature.
Sin destroys good. All have the
same wicked nature. What one has
done, perhaps all would do under sim.
liar circumstances. Man cannot save
himself by philosophy, science, art,
resolution, morality, virtue. You
can as easily lift yourself to the moon
as to save yourself by these means.
l am doubtful if. there was ever a
man or woman who gave themselves
! up to life of sin without a struggle
! They have groaned against it, cried
against it and battled against sin,
but they have been overwhelmed. Do
you mean to tell me that that man,
loafing around stale beer joints, a
| staggering drunkard, reached that
/ depth of iniquity without a struggle?
! No, he didn't. He tried hard to beat
1 it back. Do you mean to tell me that
that girl that is selling her woman
hood in the dark, fostering spots of
/ the city, reached that depth without
| a battle? Not on your life! She had
to fight against her ideals of woman
] hood, of morality and of virtue.
| Years ago, Captain Arkwright was
climbing the Alps in Switzerland, and
I he lost his hold and fell and was
/ buried in the snow and the glacier
/ Of course, search was made for him,
/ but they didn't find him. Thirty
/ years afterwards, they found the body
| of Captain Arkwright as he had fall
| len down in the ice and snow of the
| great crevasse. There his body
hadn't decayed. His clothing hadn I
rotted His watch was still in his
! pocket, his money and his knife. Ev-
| erything was just as he had fallen
| thirty years ago in the ice and the
snow of the crevasse in the great
] glacier in the Alps. So, my friends,
at the day of judgment everything will
be revealed, although it may be hid
den from human eyes. Nothing is
hidden from the eyes of God when we
stand before the Lord.
Death Doesn't
End All.
But, wait a minute! Death doesn't
end all. We are going to live on
forever somewhere, every one of us
and the way you live. here will de
| terminate your veal and woe when
you leave this world There isn't the
| slightest hope, my friends, of a chance
after death AS we are going when
we leave the world, we will keep on
/ going forever. You will never have
chance to change if you don't change
this side of the coffin, never in thc
world. 1t is true that there is a heay
| en-, the heaven where the redeemed
i go, a place that is Gods, especially
prepared for those that love him, and
| God can make mighty nice things
when he starts out to do it. That is
as sure as you live.
Heaven will contain nothing but
the good. Heaven will contain moth
ing but the blessed. Heaven is shut
against all sin. There is an eterna
quarantine between heaven and tho
sinner He can't get in.
/ 1t is true there is a hell. The Bi
BILE teaches that there is a hell anC
i that it is eternal. Jesus said more
/ about hell than he did about heaven
] Jesus gave us no description of heav
en- at all, but he gave US a graphic
description of hell, and if there hat
been no endless damnation for The
/ impenitent, Jesus never would have
said so. If there is no hell, then Jes
us never would have said so. L
i there is no hell, then Jesus lied, and
if he died, he isn't good man, if yol
make him purely man. Jesus said
endless glory for the saved, endles:
damnation for the impenitent.
Divine Things
Are True.
Il Whatsoever things are true, thinl
n on these things 1t is true tina

a hell. Wait minute! We ente
into this world, we are born. l haC

world, but | have everything to sa.

We develop into young men, youn
