fifth chapter, fortleth verse.
Speaking on Excuses" Rev. W. A.
Sunday on Saturday night said:
OF all the recorded utterances that
fell from Jesus lips. this is among
the saddest. have often wished /
might have been present to have
heard them. I wish could reproduce
the tone Of the voice and the sad look
on his face. and when you remember
the circumstances It only adds to the
grief and sorrow.
It was to the Pharisees and the
Ecclesiastical powers and the very
ones that you would anticipate would
be in sympathy with him They said;
You are liar, you are fraud. You
are a devil. You are q prince OF
DEVILS"
| And they spat upon him. And he
said, 1T is not l that am wrong. II
IS you that are wrong, but you are un,
willing to admit it. There is just one
way to get life and that is to come
to me, that sou might have life. And
We will not come to me-
So therefore, people are lost be
cause they will not go to Christ, and
II any man or woman goes from this
building unsaved. or If you drift out
with the tide and are not saved it Is
because God has offered you salvation
and you have refused it.
Nobody Need
Be Lost
Nobody needs to be lost. God pro
vided salvation for all but all viii
not be saved. l wish they would, bu
they will not accept the salvation h
offers.
The atonement OF Jesus Christ GOV
ers all the sins of the people. HI
tasted death for every man and there
fore he is not willing that any SHOULD
perish, but that all might come.
II God could have his way Their
would not be any lost. None are los
because Of any purpose or decree
God knew before this campaign start
ed everybody who would be saved
God knows from the beginning to tn
end. God knows now every man o
woman that gives me his or her hand
and do not know one.
God knows everything. But God !
giving everyone here chance, bu
God knows whether you will or vii
not accept It, so it is up to you.
God provided salvation to all VIII
will accept it through Faith in Jesu
Christ. But God knows you wouldn
do it.
It is your fault None are lost bt
cause they have gone so deep in sir
None are lost because they are to
. weak to lead Christian life. No on
has made a success of life withor
, God. Unto him that is here to kee
us from falling
And IL you can trust God to saw
|, YOU. trust him to keep you.- II b
: can take you out, he can keep yo
: out, If you will only do what he want
you to do.
/ Many Foolish
e Excused Given
: Well. won't attempt to give a
the excuses. Some are so asinine an
/ idiotic that I am amazed that an i
3 telligent man or woman might ofe
S such excuses.
Sin-That is keeping multitude
!. out. The men and women know the
e need Jesus, but they know they wi
S have to give up sin so they fight u
l. question out. And though the plea
a ures they derive from that sin are {
unenduring as rope of sand or
f cloud of smoke or vapor-it passet
9 away. If you prefer it, God can't
anything.
s One time Moody was preaching u
9 sermon on the ''Podigal Son" ar
It a man in the audience said, IF
y had known me all my life from Il
day l was old enough to know rig
l. from wrong, he could not have pi
e tured my life more accurately than
k did"
e And Moody said, will you give n
l. your hand?" And the man said, mo
e Moody said, Certainly you are n
]. proud of your life"-for Moody hi
