feeling well today? Here, take this
medicine"
But you say, Doctor, how do you
know that medicine is good for me?"
| "Oh, all my medicine is good. !
get it from Parke-Davis, Squibb and
! Jugman-the best on the market"
But maybe it isn't the medicine l
need The doctor alouts the RENE
| dy to the need.
| | said to woman one time, How
do you read the Bible, sister,"
She said, Brother Sunday, | close
my eyes, l offer silent prayer, then
open the Bible and l read"
| said, That's lazy way to do"
She said, Isn't all the Bible good ?"
yes, it's all good but it may not be
what you need at that time"
Suppose | try it. Over here in
Chronicles-"And Jahath begat Ahu-
mai, and Ahumia begat the other fell
low"
What's that got to do with talking
about your neighbors? What's that
got to do with paying your debts?
What's that got to do with keeping
somebody on the side? What's that
got to do with cussing? What's that
got to do about being stingy, puffed
up with pride?
Or, supposing you were sick and |
were physician and I'd come in and
say, How do you do? Let's see-this
is Tuesday. All right, here's my
Tuesday medicine
You might need Tuesdays medicine
on Saturday That's what l mean.
Try to get it.
Sympathy Also
Is Needed.
Have sympathy. That's one of the
loveliest traits of character in a hui
man being-sympathy 1t levels the
mountains-sympathy. 1t bridges
chasms- sympathy. 1t gives bread to
the hungry-sympathy. 1t melts the
icebergs-sympathy 1t brings peo-
pie into the church.
Beecher said, 1.-The man who lives
for himself will have the privilege of
being his own mourner at his funeral"
They are just simply shut up in
their own shell like an armadillo-no
concern about other people in the
world.
He that is not with me is against
me; he that gathereth not with me
scattereth abroad"
So whenever the devil wants to
show one of his corn piles he takes
you out and picks out the finest, most
respectable man or woman he can
find who isn't a Christian. He won't
show you the down-and-outer, the
thief and the prostitute or the fellow
waiting for the electric current, the
wrecks of humanity-he's too slick
for that.
But when he wants to show you
l..
to the Lords corn pile and show you
the worst, dred-up, miIdewed little
nubbin he can pick out, and you are
Just big enough fool to guIp it down,
too.
Did you ever shoot ducks We
have decoy-wooden ones, and put
them out in the pond among the
reeds and we hide behind the brush
and when the wild ducks came fly
ing across they'd see the supposed
ducks down there feeding and they'd
seem to say, This is a good place to
feed, come on down"
And they'd drop down among the
decoys and we'd shoot in among them
and bag as many as we wanted
Devil Has His
Decoy Ducks.
So the devil has got his decoy
ducks floating around this country,
floating around everywhere to lure
men and women in every way
Be like a farmer down in central
New York when he went to a circus
In sideshow they had a case full of
all kinds of snakes. He had his old
hickory cane in his hand and he be-
gan to pound through the glass when
fellow hurried up and grabbed him
Hey, Rubei What are you doing?"
He said, Smashing snakes; Il
smash 'em whenever l find emit
doesn't make any difference where"
That's the attitude you should take
toward the devil-hit at the devil any
place you get a chance. That's what
God wants you to do. That's what
do; that's my attitude.
| say to you in closing, begin on
yourself. You don't like to figure it
up if you know it's going against you
every time you put it down, do you?
Like little boy starting to school. !
His shirt waist was torn and his
mamma said. Here, put on your
coat; nobody will know it,"
But he said, Il will know it's there
and I'll be afraid somebody else will
find it,
~ wi u 10 CONCT up
"He that covereth his sin shall not
prosper, but who so confesseth and
forsaketh shall find mercy"
Moody tells that he had a fellow
helping him in Chicago-he was a
great power, had class of AZ girls
one day this fellow came down to
Moody at the Y NJ c. A. and said:
Moody, I've had four hemorrhages !
during the night and I've been spit |
ting blood, and the doctors tell me I /
have to leave this changeable, damp
climate of Chicago. | hate to leave; |
/ like the city, but the reason / hate |
to leave worst of all is that I've AZ |
girls in my class and | have never |
won any of them to Christ"
Moody said, Lets go see them"
But he said, 81 am too weak, l can't
stand it."
Moody said, I'VE will call a car
rage.
Soon Found
Many to Save
So they got carriage and spent a
couple of days driving around calling
on the girls and talking and praying
with them, and every one of them ac-
cepted Jesus Christ as their Saviour
and gave their Sunday school teacher
their hands and the promise that they
would be Christians. And then Moody
had the girls come to the home of a |
