come to the human race through in
vention or through discovery" think
I would say that it was when James
Young Simpson discovered chloroform,
or Doctor Miller, ether.
Oh, think of the millinos that would
be in their graves IL it hadn't been
for the discovery of chloroform or
ether. They couldn't stand what they
can today. 1t just keeps PEOPLE alive.
Just give 1t a chance, that Is all
1t wants. God asks the same thing,
no matter whom you may be.
Now, all the science in this world
would have been lost IL we had been
unwilling to prove 1t, give it chance
and try it. If you do nothing, you
get nothing. and you get no more
than you deserve, not a particle.
1t is necessary to learn the alpha
bet of religion. There Is an alpha
bet in knowledge. That is the rea-
son you start your children in the
kindergarten. That is the beginning
of knowledge. You don't think of
starting them in a university or col
lege. That is the wind-up.
There is a beginning in knowledge,
! and there Is an A B c in religion, too.
Then in the name Of God. have sense
/ enough and begin with the A B C
/ in religion like you did with the A B G
! in knowledge. Just start in. You
! have got to have start; then 1t will
prove and develop as your wind de-
velops.
i Experiment Proved
| Value of Discovery
How did you learn that ice would
! freeze? By experiment How did we
learn that fire would burn? BY ex
pertinent. How did we learn that
strychnine would kill? BY expert
menting with it.
/ How did we learn that Jesus would
save? By experiment We gave Him
a chance, that is all.
/ So, therefore, you get more IL you
i will use what you have. Start out
! with a little faith, which you have
] now. Use that and God will give you
more.
Start out like a little child does
when it starts to walk. It's legs are
j! weak, it falls down, bumps its head
and has hard time of it. It gets
up falls down, gets UPON it goes
1t uses the strength it has, and pretty
soon its got more, and 1t seldom fails
That's the way with religion. Star
out. You may be weak, and you may
stumble and fall. Old appetites will
come back to you. You will stumble
get up-stumbIe get up and 90 on
After while you will get so stron.
you can give the the Ha! Ha!
i "Steam and electricity have prov
en- 10000 times more than we though
they would. They were a long time
doing it, but it wasn't their fault. Th'
delay was caused by our ignorance.
Jesus Christ has been a long timt
in convincing some of you fellows
that He has power. It isn't His fault
put yourself in a relationship so tina
God can show you that He can say,
you and keep you.
christianity can prove itself to jus
! the same as electricity or steam O
strychninie or morphine. All it want
is a chance. That is adjust give
: chance.
1.-The preaching of the cross is t
them that perish, foolishness, but t.
, , US which are saved, it is the power O
God"
God Will Let Us
: Discover Secrets
If we were not so dull, God woul,
make US all rich I believe that some
where there is growing herbs tina
, will cure every disease to whic
: flesh is heir / do not believe Their
is a disease that curses humanity bu
that somewhere grows an herb tina
will cure it; somewhere it does.
, They found out what causes yelloN
fever. They thought it was by cor
, tamination with bodies. They prove
that it wasn't so. They found GU
that it came from a mosquito bite
r and when you write the history of i
you will have to build big monl
, ments to Doctor Reid and Doctor Cal
: roll, and the other brave men VIII
allowed themselves to be bitten b
mosquitoes that he had bitten other
:. who had died from it. They then
! selves were stricken within two day
and eight hours. Today, the world wi
! never be stricken with yellow feve
: any more.
y So we found that all out, demon
strated it; but somewhere there
: growing an herb that will cure col
q sumption, that will cure cancer. SOM
where there is an herb that will cur
everything, and it Is there now. TIL
only trouble is that we have not &c
sense enough to know it, but the wee
/ is there and the power Is there.
So it is true with everything in tn
a world All power can demonstrat
. itself, and the power from the eros
a can do the same thing. 1t will do
q if -7ou will put yourself in the rigt
: relationship to it.
One spark of fire can do more [
Il convince you of the power of powde

: on the subject.
e Culture Has Done

t All right, / say to the infidel, ecu
n ture, what have you done? Show N
d what you have done to save Il
S world"
And then I hold up the hand
r Jesus Christ and I read the nam
of my wife and mother upon the han
