TABERNACLE CHOIR
Continued from Page IL

Jake any. IL tney were sweet Cney
would fill every pocket. There was a
black headed woman with a temper
like match. She was a Christian
worker. Another woman Christian
worker who advertised her goodness
told Mrs. Black-head, "You ought to
live the higher life" The reply came
back, "Do you live it," eyes," said
the blond. "Then | don't want to live
it," said the other. A man with a
heavy pack on his back was invited
to ride on a mans wagon. He got ON
with the pack still loading him down.
The man replied, that he was too
grateful for the ride to make the
wagon carry his load also. This is
the way with some people, they want
to still carry their loads after Jesus
offers to do it for them. The scrip
ture says, Cast all thy cares upon
him for he cares for you"
Spiritual Christians are dominated
by the Spirit. Carnal Christians are
back-biting and complaining.
Keep Small.
The speaker told of a man who
came to Mr.. Johnson's place of bust
ness each month before Mr.. johnson
was a minister This visitor had the
same speech each time as follows:
"Do you know how to get on with
God? Keep small. AS we know
Christ more we feel smaller" There
was a woman who had vision in
which she saw herself grow smaller
and god grew greater. She gave
herself to preach to the fishermen
in her community. So as we look at
Gods righteousness and holiness we
feel smaller from. $40, "For as
many as are led by the Spirit of God
they are the sons of God" Then,
we fear that the Christians are few.
Restoring the Faltering.
Does Gal. 81 read: "If one is over
taken in a fault, kick him?" That is
the way the world does. But the
Scripture says, aye which are spirit
ual restore such an one." When a
Christian gets to say, 81 knew that
was coming" and then give him a
kick. If the church of God would
live this Scripture, what a power it
would be! Restore the fallen. Mr..
johnson told in an impressive way
how one of his singers number of
years ago fell through drink. He
called his workers together and pray
ed, repeating Gal. Gil, "If man be
overtaken in fault We which are
spiritual restore such an one on the
spirit of meekness." They went to
see the man and found him deeply
penitent. They presented him to the
audience with the facts and they for
gave him. This singer became an
evangelist. He is now the pastor at
$4,000 a year. His son became a
singer with salary of 500 per
! week. Does it pay to win them
back?
Saving Boy.
A Judge wanted his son dismissed
from the church for bad conduct. Mr..
Oats, the pastor, said no. We have
only his name left we will have to
save him. Later he became a useful
minister. 1t may be that some girl
has gone wrong. We must win them
back. There was a beautiful woman
living a double life, and none of the
women would permit her in their So
ciety. There was a wealthy man
who was a party to the sin. He was
converted and urged the woman to
come to Christ. She was converted
and restored to fellowship in society
of good people.
These were live Christians. God
does not want dead Christians. God
wants you to present your bodies a
living acrifice from. 1871, p. Trans

When a man gives up depending
on self then God helps him.
A man fell overheard from a ship.
AS he struggled a sailor watched
him without offering help. After the
man gave up to go to the bottom the
sailor plunged in and rescued the
man. So it is with a man strug-
Cling to save himself. When he
gives up and looks only to Jesus sal
walton is assured.
Sin poisons slowly. An eagle was
soaring high and fell to the ground
dead. On examination it was found
that a small snake had gotten in the
nest and hid beneath the wing. 1t
had bitten the eagle and the poison
had finally reached the heart and the
bird fell dead, Thus our little sins
paralyze the heart and spiritual
death follows.
