person to the Lord! There are many
professors who think that job belongs
to the minister. Well, if / thought
for one minute that you imagined
that | was going to do all this work,
I'd pack my trunk and go home so
quick that it would make your head
swim
l didn't ask for the privilege OF
coming to this city. They begged us
to come for years. We are here in
response to the appeal of the preach
ers and the church and the people
that want to benefit the fellowmen
and fellow-women with the gospel OF
Jesus Christ That's why we are
here! l am here to do my part, and
guess | have been here long enough
for you to know that | will not shirk
it: I will go to the limit of my strength
every time for God and for the truth
/ have got just as much right to ex
pect you to do your best as you have
got right to expect me to do my
best. And | will dot it, but you mus
do yours.
And so many think that once
they've made a public confession OF
| their faith, then their hope of eternal
| life is secure; there's nothing fol
them to do. The church members are
target for the world. It's not enough
I to have the love of God in your heart
but that love must express itself in
words and in deeds.
| What would happen if the farmer
| left all his grain in the granary and
never planted any of it? You'd never
: have any crop-never in the world.
Let Religion Work
f, Its Way.
! And so. don't leave religion in you

Z! others if you are going to be a bene
diction and blessing. You have go

! Lords hand is not so short that HI
! cannot save; neither is His ear so dea
j that he cannot hear, but your sins hav,
| separated you and your God, and ge
! your face way from Him and you will
not hear. God says. You cannot serve
s., God and Mammon"
Just rs God had said, bird canno
! fly without wings, you cannot SET
without eyes, you cannot hear withou
ears, you cannot breathe without lungs
you cannot serve God and Mammon
You can't be partakers of the table o.
the Lord and the devil too. You cam
please God and the devil. You can
[, live half day with one man and tn,
other half day with another and ther
! please your husband. That's RICH
now! You can't do it.
You cannot serve god and Mammon
+; A German soldier couldn't fight m,
friends under the German flag AM
then switch over and fight under
British Jack in the afternoon n,
man can be loyal soldier in two dit
ferent armies You can't serve Go,
Lord aud the devil So make up YOU
mind that if you are going to pleas
the devil you will have to slap God il
the face and tell him to go; and yo
are going to please God then tell tn
devil to go and show your colors! Yo
can let me know who you want tn
devil or God Heaven or hell!

of somebody else and make 1t harde
for them to do right you have no RICH
to do it although the doing of it Nigh
not hurt you. You haven't any RICH
to do it, None whatever! Non
whatever! None whatever,
