told him there was danger at the end.
warn the second man and he says
to me: Have you ever seen hell?"
No; and wherever hell is and what
1t is / have no disposition to test its
realities, but 1t must be an awful
place. If God loved me enough to
give me Jesus Christ on the cross
don't propose to live a life of defiance
and go to hell to find out if the first
life is all. God Almighty warns me
to keep away. 1t can't be very good
place; it must be a bad place or the
devil wouldn't want me to go there
for everything the devil does here is
bad. The devil wants me to go there
so It is no good.
Never mind. I meet third and he
says: Yes, / have been warned to
believe it but l expect to die a Chris
tian. l don't expect to continue to live
life of Indifference and carelessness
until l die and it isttoo late"
Don't Be
Doubter.
/ haven't as much ITO say to you as
a doubterN as l have to the man or
woman who admits that it is true but
up until now you haven't found it con-
yenient to confess Jesus Christ and
| turn from your SINS You are hoping
to find a more convenient time and if
| this isn't a convenient time, tell me
when 1t is. If you can resist all the
| influences that Gods spirit has
brought to bear upon this old city and
| yet with all the evidences if you can
steel your heart, God pity youi Your
doom is sealed, in my opinion, II you
can resist all this. There isn't much
| hope that you will come in under or
I binary conditions.

eternal literal hell A friend of mine
who preached for % years said he's
never met but two and they were both
converted before the meetings were
over.
Most people believe and expect to
die Christians can go through this
audience tonight; think I could go
down through the haunts of sin and
search this old city and l couldn't
| find five hundred out of them that
believe in an eternal hell and expect
to go there.
| Most people expect to die Chris
tians. Every man is making his own
! future You are determining that for
yourself God has set before us an
open door of blessing and cursing
/ heaven or hell. He has done all He
can, the plan is fixed, the die is cast
| it's up to humanity God has done all
He can. 1 can just simply tell you
and leave it to you.
| A man said to me one time: Then
you believe in an eternal, literal
| hell?"
Doesn't Try to
Outthlnk God.
| Yes, I have never gotten so damn
able and low down and vile as to have
the audacity to put my infinitesimal
pigmy intellect up to the defiance OF
the Omnipotent and tell Him the
spirit of damnation didn't meet with
my stupendous, gigantic conception
He is a big idiot.
