over in the trenches of France
was French soldier named Maurice
The Y. M. G. A. was distributing lit
tie testaments of John printed in
French. He got it - somebody haC
found it and threw it away. Maurice
found it one day in the mud unde.
his feet in the trenches. He picked
it up and he read it.
Signs His
Name to Gard.
In the back part of it was a place
where it said 81 accept Jesus Christ
as my savior" He read this gospel
OF John. 1t was the first time he
had ever seen it and he signed his
name in there.
Maurice had a cousin In the
trenches named Jacques, an infidel
and on his day off, he came to visit
Maurice and when he came in he said
Maurice, what's the matter with
you?" Your face shines SOL
He said, 81 found Jesus Christ
Maurice said, 81 found Christ and
here's where I found him." He
handed Jacques this little testament
Here's where I found him."
And Jacques read it and was con.
verted. He said, Il could answer all
arguments about God, all arguments
about HIven, all arguments about
Hell to my own satisfaction, but !
couldn't answer the argument of the
bright cheerful look in his face"
And wherever it goes, l say II
makes lives brighter and shines this
old world up and he said that God
loved everybody and he went about
trying to show that that was true.
He cured the sick He opened the
eyes of the blind. He unstopped the
ears of the deaf. He raised the dead.
He cleansed the leper. He helped ev-
erybody that asked him and he helped
a good many that didn't ask him, and
he never sent anybody away with a
heavy heart. The only one that ever
went away with a sorrowful heart was
the rich young ruler, and if you go
away with a sorrowful heart, it is
your own fault, not Christ's.
If you will let him help you, you
will be joyful. This young fellow
thought he had so much that he
could get along without Jesus.

Jesus never attended a funeral.

grave. He never preached a funeral
sermon. That was out of his line.
He came that they might have life
and that they might have it more
The man that's sober has life more
abundantIy than the drunkard. The
man that's honest has life more
abundantIy than the thief. The man
that's virtuous has life more abunt-
antly than the man living in vice. The
one that believes in Christ has life
more abundantly than the infideI, who
doesn't believe in Christ.
Moody was one time asked to
preach a funeral sermon, and he look
ed into the Bible to find out what
Jesus said and did at a funeral that
he might have standard to go by,
and he found out to his surprise and
delight that Jesus Christ broke I'D
every funeral that he ever attended
by raising the dead. He turned the
house of sorrow into joy, tears into
laughter. Can you find any fault
with that?
Il find no fault in Him" Don't
you wish he'd come to your house
before the hearse had called? Dom.
you wish he'd have come when the
coffin was there and raised the dead,
put your loved one back in your
arms?
81 find no fault in Him.. What
are you in favor of that Jesus is
against? Do you consider yourself
honorable and decent to favor what
Christ is against?
Do you think you ought to be re-
spected by decent people when you
are In favor of everything that Jesus
Christ is against? No, sir! 1 don't
think you forfeit the right there,
whether you are a millionaire or a
hobo Right there!
Now, Jesus Christ is against all
wrong. Jesus Christ is against it.
Has anybody cheated or defrauded
you? Jesus Christ is against it.
Has anybody lied about you? Jesus
Christ is against it.
Are You in favor of honesty? So
is Jesus. Are you in favor of purity?
So is Jesus. Do you believe that
