PURIFY LIKE SNOW
 WHITENESS URGED
Rev. Walton at Cumberland Presbyterian Church De-
 flyers Strong Sermon

Making ones life as nearly as pos sible pure like the white of snow was the message of Rev. H. c. Walton, pastor of the Cumberland Presby- tsrian church, near Twelfth avenue on Twenty-seventh street, north, to his congregation yesterday.
 Taking as his text Psalms 5l:7, wash me and I shall be whiter than snow" he said in part;
 "whiter than snow! What can be winter than newly fallen snow,
 You have seen 1t in the first early light of the morning, before it was stained by the dust and smoke and 1t was so dazzingly pure that 1t made your weak eyes smart with the bril- lance.
 White!
 Tt stretched out before you as clean and white as an angels wing Then we say, can anything be winter or more beautiful?
 Yet the text says, And l shall be whiter than snow, As we look into 
 of a babe. we hear admirers say, Why he's white as snow Fathers and mothers strive to thus keep their young, but it is impossible.
 They become whiter or become stained. At first the child is inno- cent, untempted and untried. But when he reaches the age of account ability, he chooses his way and estab- fishes his character. If he chooses the ways of sin and worid1iness, he becomes stained with sin and spotted with leprosy of the soul. But if he chooses the Christ as his own per sonal savior, he then shall have the light of life and is cleansed and is made whlter than snow.
 ''Innoeence is purity untempted, while virtue is purity tempted and triumphant.
 Jesus Can Purify
 Jesus came into the world to seek and save that which Is lost. He alone can lift up the fallen, cleanse and purify the prodigal and in him alone is power to forgive sins and change the polluted life and make It bright and beautiful, even 'whiter than snow
 David prayed, Wash me thorough
 
 mans~ Every man in the wide, Nwide world may be cleansed and may be spotless in the blood of Jesus Christ which cleanseth from all sim
 Man must come himself and pray. Wash me, that l may become pure and spotless.. Then 1t is that God looks down in tender love and com passion. and speaks peace to the soul. even as Jesus did to the sea of GaliIee. Mans part is, as Paul expressed 1t, Repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ quitting and turning from sin and accepting Jesus Christ as his own personal savior, surrenderin.g fully to him for saliva tion and service.
 To every unsaved man in Birming- ham, the words of our Lord are: Come now, and let us reason together. saith the Lsrd: Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crlm son, they shall be as woor."
