The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1922-05-03

In his sermon Wednesday afternoon
at the tabernacle, Rev. w. A. Sunday
says:
In Proverbs 1880: HE that WIN
meth souls is wise" GO ye into all
the world and preach the gospel to
every creature" HE that goeth forth
and reapeth shall doubtless come
again with rejoicing, bringing precious
seed with him" 1--WE SOW and then
we harvest" when I say unto the
wicked man, o wicked man, thou
shalt surely die in thine iniquity if
thou doest not speak to warn that
wicked man to turn from his way,
but If he do not turn from 1t he shall
die in his sins, you have delivered
your soul. You are free when you
warn people, but you are condemned
if you don't.
LET him that heareth keep his
mouth shut?" No. LET him that
heareth say Come"
If it's a good thing for you, it's as
good for the other fellow.
Fear not, / am with thee, be not
dismayed. ! am thy God. / will help
thee, will strengthen thee, l will up
hold thee with the right hand of my
righteousness"
wonder why God said fright
hand?" Because the Lord isn't a
southpaw. You are stronger in your
right hand than In your left hand.
He said: al will uphold you with
the right hand of my righteousness"
Most people are right-handed, any
way, SO you know what is meant. OF
Course IFS the rioht hand
i believe there are hundreds of peo-
pie today that want to win somebody
for Jesus Christ, but they are waiting
to be told how. l think there are
hundreds of people that want to work
and there are hundreds that wouldn't
lift their hand or open their lips to
help anybody for Jesus.
Believes Many
Want To Help.
l believe there are hundreds, if not
thousands, of people that are anxious
not five talented men, not talented
but men and women of ordinary abil
ity that are sick and tired of a mere
empty profession.
They are getting tired of just
beating a path from their home to
the church and back again on Sun
never go in the afternoon and never
go at night and their entire Chris
tian life consists in going to church
on Sunday morning and putting a lit
tie money in the collection plate. They
never pray In their home, never have
family prayer, never visit the sick
never try to alleviate human misery
or suffering, never try to win anybody
for Jesus Christ. That's the entire
extent of the religion of the majority
of the people in the church and ex
pect you are a fairly good specime.
of the majority of them In YOU
church, all right.
So listen! If everybody did no more
than YOU do, the world would be il
hell-if that's all you do-and ther'
are thousands of people have got t
awaken and come TO the rescue if thi
old sin-cursed world is to be won TO
Jesus Christ.
The first recorded words of Jesu
are: twist We not that l must b.
about nv Fathers business?"
When He was II years of age HI
was conscious that He was the Sol
of God, for He uttered those word
in the temple after they'd gone oil
their Journey, when they'd been VI
to Jerusalem to the Passover Feas
and they missed Him and Hi
mother went back to look for Him
and they found Him in the templ'
discussing religion with the doctor
of the law, and He said to them
twist We not that I must be about m.
Fathers BUSINESS
Calls Men
Unto Salvation.
This is what came into tn
world for" And He has been calling
men and women ever since.
Oh, God wants mothers that viii
turn pale over their children goinI
down to the devil He wants parent
that will weep, He wants workers tina
will groan; He wants church member
and ministers that will be concerne'

going to perdition and nothing beini
done 10 win then1-only service on
day in seven.
Now there are certain gifts, If yo'
are going to do It, First of al
salvation - because, l want to re
peat, multitudes in the church,
believe, have never been save,
They don't know what religion
experience is. don't need to cor
sumo my strength and your tim
telling you how good bread and bu
ter are, how good apples are, hoy
good water is-you've eaten, you'v
drunk. That's an experience. S
you know they are good, becaus
you have eaten. That's an exper
ence. Therefore, if you have eve
had Athe experience you know ther
is a God. He answers your praye,
Multitudes of people never have an
experience; they don't know what
is, They don't live so that God ca
answer their prayer. Therefore, a
they know about God is second-han
they get it from somebody else.
You can so live that God can man
fest His power through you. The
you know from experience that ther
is a God, and you are not going
follow all these isms and schisms thu
may come laundering along to lea
YOU away from Jesus Christ.
Jesus said to Peter, when thou a.
converted, strengthen thy brethren
So you are in no position to help an,
body else If You haven't been helpe
yourself.
