law doesn't give man the right to do
it; but they will go and get the copies
and sell them. I have nothing to do
with it. If 1 had anything to sell I'd
put it right in the tabernacle. What
little money is made on these song
books l give it all to Rody. l don't
make a cent OF 1T.
Letters of Praise Are
FooIishness.
We get up a few little sermons for
10 cents; sometimes we will sell them
if the people want them, but what
get on that / give it away. Now,
have got no rake-off from anything.
And another thing here, it don't re-
quire much friendship. Why, you take
church that wants to get rid of a
preacher, they can give him the most
| flattering letter of testimony you ever
! read in your life. Why, if he will full
| fill, all of those requirements, l ought
to be pastor of some of the metro
politan churches, or some of the big
churches here.
Look at the get-rich-quick schemes
! They filched S100,000,000 out of the
| pockets of the poor people in juts q
| few months until the government hac
| to take hold of them. But some fellow
advertises and he's got plan that will
| give you 80 or 40 percent on your in
vestment; and you can bet your life
he's fraud on the face of it. Why
| | will tell you. If he's got good gilt
| edged security to offer, he can &C
/ down to the bank and put up his stock
and borrow money from the bank al
/ five percent. l don't find anybody
| lying awake at home at night trying
to put 80 percent in your pocket.
want to tell you the United States gov
eminent can get all the money il
wants at three percent: Uncle Sam is
gilt-edged security. The higher the
rate of interest, the more danger your
principal is in every time, every time
And so four percent interest-eight
hours sleep-better than Is percent
and insomnia-and then lose your
principal.
Don't bite! am not going to give
you lecture on finance. Don't bite
Your money is as good to you as Il
is to the other fellow. Don't bite
don't bite! Go down and put it In
and get three percent and 90 home
and go to bed and 90 to sleep. Any
body can do it!
Everybody can't preach. l know
what would happen if Rody would try
and preach. Everybody can't sing.
Everybody Can Help To
Win Souls.
And so, everybody can do some
thing, but we can't all preach Blu
everybody can talk! You can do that
So that's why, if there were only one
hundred Christian in the world righ
now and if they'd each win one sou
in year. that would be two hundred
at the end of year. Then if the two
hundred would each win a soul, tina
would be four hundred at the end O
the year; at the end of another i
woul be eight hundred, and in another
years it would be sixteen hundred. d.
you know how long it would take tt
win 1,600,000000, or more than tn,
present inhabitants of the globe? /
would take just 25 years. And Jesu,
Christ died over 1000 years ago. AMI
We have got beneath the Stars anC
Stripes 100000 people not in an,
church, Catholic or Protestant.
What are we doing? Nothing tt
help bring them to the Lord And 70,
can do it any place. You can't preacl
any place, l can't preach in a store
l can't preach in street car; l can
preach in the street. l can preach il
the tabernacle twice day but you car
! speak to people no matter where yo,
are, while paying the fellow your car
fare, or calling the fellow on tn,
i phone; you can speak to people whel
you go out. You go out of here, som,
thousands of you; you can each speal
to some person this afternoon, ant
therefore you go out and see what yol
can do. Do you see what you'd do
You'd multiply what you say for Coz
and for his truth. Now you can do /
any time, any hour of the day O
night. You can't preach any time
How Moody Saved Souls
For Christ.
Moody, when he was a young fel
low, was secretary of the Y. NJ. c. A
in Chicago, and he made a resolv,
that he wouldn't go to bed withou
winning somebody for Jesus He wen
to bed one night and 1T occurred t
