just come from the pressing table,
devil" But he answered her not a
word.
And his disciples came and be
sought him, saying, Send her away;
for she crieth after US.
But he answered and said Il am
not sent but unto the lost sheep of the
house of Israel
Woman Persists
In Selling Christ
Then came she and worshipped him
saying, Lord, help me-"
But he answered and said, at is not
meet to take the children's bread, and
to cast it to dogs"
And she said, Truth, Lord, yet the
dogs eat of the crumbs which fall
from their masters table"
Then Jesus answered and said unto
her, 20, woman, great is thy faith; be
it unto thee even as thou wilt" And
her daughter was made whole from
that very hour.
1t is great the way her daughter
was made whole and, what is COM
passion? You let the church of God
have a compassion to bring themselves
to Jesus Christ and they will have to
build an addition to all the churches.
That is what they will have to do but
they haven't got it.
Some church members haven't even
got to this Tabernacle, and | have
been here some two weeks and they
/ haven't been near it. Gosh! haven't
seen some of the preachers even.
Compassion! Some people when they
see the crowds, see money. Thy say,
Gosh! If | had all they have,
wouldn't be rlch?"
! Some people say, "Oh! If they'd all
trade with me, I'd put an addition in
my store"
/ Some people, when they see a
crowd, see the politicians and say, ''If
they'd all vote for me, I'd go to
| Washington"
What effect does crowd have on
you? 1t depends altogether on your
viewpoint. If the life you now live in
the flesh, you live by faith in the Son
of God, when you see the crowd, you
will see them from Gods standpoint
and he wants them to be saved and SC
do you. See? You can't get around
(; it,-not at all.
!, When 1 quit playing baseball went
into the Y. M. C. A. in Chicago and
among other duties 1 had the saloon
route. Every Tuesday and Saturday
night | went ont through the saloons
giving out tickets inviting men tt
come to Fargo's hall to the mems
meetings. l was talking to young
fellow l met one night in a saloon
that used to stand where the Boston
store stands now. We walked out and
were standing there talking. He said
Il was just thinking of this crowd
that Jesus Christ died for. There are
one hundred and fifty saloons anC
seventeen theatres right down in the
Loop" he said, land to think thai
you and l are the only two Christian:
of all the tens of thousands in Chi
cago that are down here in the LooI
trying to get this great crowd tt
Jesus Christ.
God Wants Persons
To Believe
When he saw the multitude. |
brought tears down his cheeks Why
He was living in the presence of God
So, therefore, as to what affect {
crowd has upon you depends on you
viewpoint altogether.
Now, hold on minute and / an
through. God doesn't want anybod!
whose, heart isn't there. Jesus said
THE harvest truly is plenteous bu
the laborers are few. Pray We there
fore the Lord of the harvest, that HI
will send forth laborers into his har
vest" Evidently he wants you Il
pray or he wouldn't ask you to do it
And they were driven to thei
knees. If you are serving the flesl
you won't pray. Prayer is the resul
of compassion. When the inside i
burned it will show on the outsid
: like the measles or the scarlet fever
you bet your lifei 1t will show, vol
will see it.
Pray, not for the crowd,-nc
Jesus never did pray for the crowd
Understand, he never did it. H
said, 81 pray, not for the world h
never did either He said, Il pray 70
those who will believe on me through
your words, / pray that you may b
: kept from the evil that is in tn
: world" but he never prayed for tn
world.
Pray for Men to
Gather Harvest.
Pray not for the crowd,-no. Pra
, what for? That God will send labor
ers into the harvest That is wha
. he wants. The harvest is there blu
you can't get it without laborers.
That Is what God Almighty need
/, in here oh, this meeting needs te
, thousand men and women that vii
work and pray and weep and plea
with men to come to Christ. That i
what it needs. You will re-write his
tory, il you do. You've got the chanc
, that you never had. Never will hav
/, it again, not while you are alive. Go
! send somebody, but don't send ms
But if you are honest when you pray
then you say, "God, ! am ready to g
: sure"
He said to the disciples, GO al
: swer your own prayer"
When your compassion moves 20
to pray, then God will say, go, al
swer your own prayer"
4 Your prayers are worth no more i
: the sight of God than you are willin
to work to redeem them there-n
: sir!
This, and l am through. "Freel
/ I'VE have received, freely give"
What does that mean? 1t mean
| simply this. When you can measur
the depths of the blessings that Go
; has given to you, through your fat
in Jesus Christ, by that same stan,
: ard you can measure the depths {
u your responsibility to go out and te
