With the sweat drops flying from
his face like rain, and his voice shaky
with emotion, Sunday shouted. 1--WE
have the greatest educational system
in the world. but without Christ the
whole country is bound for hell"
Shaking his fist, and pacing the
platform like a Gagged tiger, almost
breathless from his exertion, he bel

struction, is a need for the old time
religion"
I Must Be Born Again
Il sympathize with your difficulties,
with the beginning you had, with your
heredity, with all the troubles that
have stood in the way of your Chris

But | am here to tell you that you
can be born again" he roared. dashing
back and forth across the platform.
And without that you can never be
saved"
Rallying to the defense of the church
as an institution, he declared: Don't
blame the church for its shortcomings.
The church is not to blame 1t is the
individuals in. the church that are to
blame

ton of the old home back in Iowa
where the mother that he buried five

eyes of his audience.
I How many people here tonight can
say, "All is well with my soul?' Rev.
Sunday asked after the prayer and
hands went up all over the audience.
