ONE PERSON
Continued from preceding page)


was the fellow who financed the Civil
war for the United States government:
he was the bright financial star and
his name was on everybody's lips.
But you don't hear his name now.
They blaze for little while and down
/ they go. Oh, today it is Morgan and
today it is Rockefeller and Carnegie,
today it is ]. Ogden Armour of Chi
cago. Oh, my friends, it is men of
that class.
Surprising I'd ask you who are the
i bright minds among the doctors.
| Why. tell me the name of the doctor
| that doctored Garfield. No, you can't
+, do it. Tell me the name of the man
| that doctored Mckinley McBurney
gone. Perhaps the greatest surgeon
| in the country lives in a town way up
| in Minnesota, DR.. Mayo. People come
from London and Berlin in order to
| have those two farmer boys operate
on them. Perhaps they are the most
/ skilled surgeons in the world today,
! but in a few years they will die and
pass away and there will be somebody
else.
Who were the bright political stars
| few years ago? II was Grover Cleve-
land few years ago; today you don't
hear his name mentioned. A few
years ago it was Thomas Reed. but
you don't hear his name mentioned to-
day. A few years ago it was Grant;
now it is all Wilson. In a few years
you won't hear his name They blaze
for while, but others come and they
are forgotten.
Names Soon Are
Forgotten.
But the Bible says, "They that turn
many to righteousness, shall shine as
the stars forever and forever"
| The financial stars blaze, those in
the medical field blaze, the doctors
and lawyers and business men; then
they are gone
/ Now suppose I'd advertise discov-
cry whereby l could change common
stones into nuggets, and gravel into
! gold, pebbles into diamonds-suppos-
ing | could prove that l could do it.
j Whenever you see a diamond, that's
nothing but piece of charcoal or car
i bon, the same kind that you see in a
| leadpencil. The only difference is
that it has been changed from a piece
of carbon into diamond by nature
That's the power; we don't know how
nature did it.
4 Well, supposing l could change
Jumps of coal into diamonds. Suppos-
ing l could change cobble stones into
gold. Suppose the government assay
er would pronounce it "a carat fine.
Supposing / formed a stock company
to manufacture gold and diamonds and
could get million dollars a share
for it.
i Well, there's no such company that
VIII ever be organized, but I've got
something that's better than that. |
|, have a proposition l want you to take
stock in. What is it? It's the power
that can take drunkard and make
him sober; take thief and make him
steal no more; take a quarreling man
and make him pray. It's the gospel
/, of Jesus Christ, l want you to take
stock in religion. That's the power,
Power to Work Great
Changes
!, Change this Cityi Change your hus-
band to a man that will love you and
be kind to you. Change yourself SO
, you won't turn your old gattling ma
chine gun tongue loose.
| think the lack of general efficient
personal work is one Of the weakest
spots of the church. 1t don't seem to
enter the mind of the average church
member that there is anything for him
to do 1t is the business of a flour
mill to make flour It is the business
OF the saw-mill to make lumber. II is
, the business of a saloon to make
drunkards. 1t is the business of a
medlcal college to make doctors. II
Is the business of a law school ia
make lawyers. 1t is the business of
the church to make Christians, That's
the church's bushes; not to entertain
them or amuse themi Save them for
Jesus Christ! Too much of the worL
done today is like a squirrel in a cage
lots of activity but no progress. Won
nave seen them in a cage with a wheel
IN 1t, going around, but they never get
anywhere, and so it is with some OF
US, We are thinking to beat the band
Dut we DO not make any headway.
IL don't require any spiritual life to
play cards, run bazaar or a rumma 90
sale-none at all-but it does to heir
somebody to be won to Jesus Christ
1t don't require much wisdom to win
a mans friendship; if he is low down
help him, flatter him, patronize him
and you can win him. Oh. Won can

few years maybe; IS bill will some
times cause a man to do that.
