Says

l am sick and disguised with peo-
pie who are trying to picture Jesus
Christ as though he was doughfaced
He was the bravest preach
er that ever preached.
He shot his preachings into the big
gest guns of the synagogues
He never had a harsh word for the
sinner. He never had a good one for
the Pharisees.
Farm your faith. Start with what
you've got and God will give you more
all the way through. Without faith
there wouldn't be a factory, there
wouldn't be a railroad We can't do
business without it.
Faith is the hand by which my faith
touches God.
Take what you have got Use it and
you will get more. Start with your
faith. Use it and you will get more.
1t will grow
Take out of this world all that Jesus
Christ has ever done and what have
you got left?
Faith is to my soul what the law of
gravitation is to the world.
We are always helped or hindered
by our belief. Wrong belief makes ey-
erybody wrong. Right belief makes
everything right, because belief always
results in action which harmonizes
with your belief.
You show me somebody that is saw
ed that didn't believe in Jesus Christ
or ever will be saved when he didn't
believe in him.
Faith is the grandest word in the
lexicon of man or woman.
Say, let me tell you something. Do
you regulate your life by the Bible?
You adjust yourself and see what he
will do.
A man hangs out a sign and says he
is a Christian. l expect something
and I've got a right to do it.
Every nation must have vision or
go down.
Everything you see is the express
sion of thought.
God knows his business. Don't sit
there like an ass as though God Al.
mighty is trying to cram something
down your throat that you can get
along without.
1 think there is more religion in the
pews in the average church than there
is in the pulpit.
You might just as we'll blow your
breath against the vestibule of street
car and try to run it that way as to
aside.
We have lost favor with God and we
have lost our power. That's the rea
son why the forces of hell sheer and
blaspheme.
l believe in experimental religion
and that's the only kind l believe in
If you sleep with the dogs you must
expect to get up with lice on you.
My evangelism is as old as the cross
of Jesus Christ.
had some common great meeting
place where they could come anC

erected this tabernacle and men and
women are pouring their money to
help pay the expenses. What for

we have no vision. Well in the frs
place, the disrespect that is shown to
the Son of God by some. | asked q
man one time, do you believe thai

He laughingly and flippantly said
"Oh yes, and so was Buadna, so was

Whoever holds such views shuts

who believed that God was God, anC
Jesus Christ the Son of God, and tha
! salvation was to be had by repentance
and faith in the shed blood of Jesus
Christ. They held up the bleeding

! So | think there is more religion ir
the pews in the average church thar
there is in the pulpit. And therefore
one reason why we have been deniec
of the vision of God and of his truth
is the irreverent criticism of the Bible
that is offered by many, sneaking anc

worst enemy of the human rather thar
