The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1922-05-20

CAuLCu, anu Is HOW secretary OF the
National Evangelistic association, was
in Richmond Friday night. Mr. Fart
He has pledged to do for us what he
did for others. That's the reason l
am preaching to you. If he had sim
ply done it for David, I wouldn't have
any text, couldn't preach to you If
there wasn't any hope, but am telling
you what he did for him Therefore
that's an example Of what he will do
for US, because he is the same God and
we have the same promises after David
was taken out Of the pit and put
where he could travel in joy
The first thing that happens to a
forgiven sinner is that he finds de-
light in doing the will of God. 1t is
thousand times easier to live to
please God than it is to live to not
please God.
God Always Makes
a Road
God always makes the road that He
wants His pilgrims to walk in. and 1t
is free from mire and from filth. It
Is free from the things that damn
other people in the world It was
made for man, Hallelujah, and the
man is made for the way. Just the
same as an engine Is made for the
rails and the rails were made for the
engine.
A boat, my friends, was made for
the water; the water for the boat
They didn't make a boat to travel
on land; they didn't make a locomo
tive to go through the water. The
way was made for the rails and the
/ engine was made for that, and sc
/ God will make the road He wants you

and in the pit he was sinking deeper

Every breath you draw you are get

my opinion, the very principles o
Americanism were built on faith il
God and in the Bible.
