NOW Iu6y dll 10 1I-DuL the AAIoL OAuU
that ever did that was the old Chi
Springs, Ark. We went down there !
and then we'd take the baths and i
train down under the southern sun
and we'd come back up the first Of /
April in the pink of physical condition
to stand the long hard strain Of the
seasons grind out on the diamond.
And one day we were strolling |
around through the Ozark noun I
! tains and we were going to a famous
| spring we'd been told about. We'd
wandered and roamed about, half
/ dozen of US, and we were tired and
covered with perspiration. and we
couldn't find the spring. We met a
colored boy. He had an old flintlock
gun and a couple of squirrels he'd
1 shot and an old yellow dog trailing
at his heels.
1 Leads Them
On Right Road.
l said, boy, are we on the right
road to the spring."
He said. mo, SIR"
/ said, Here's a quarter; vii You
| take u.s."
! He said, "Sure, boss; the road
you're on now goes to Little Rock"
/ said, 1--WE don't want to go to
/ Little Rock; we are looking for the
| spring"
/ He took us across a little noun
tain stream and up ravine, and bye
and bye he said, There's the spring,
sir"
! We saw a great stream. as large
or larger than my body, hubbling and
i shooting from the mountain side, and
i said to him: How did you know
how to bring us here?"
He said, "Boss, l live right up
around there and we gets our water
out of the spring, and hunt the
squirrels up there"
! He'd been there himself so he was
able to take seven great big warm,
, thirsty fellows there. So if you've
4 found Jesus Christ as your Savior,
you are able to tell somebody else
about 1t = don't you see? If you've
been sick and some doctor has given
YOU medicine that cured you, you
; know from experience that he's all
right. so you recommend him to your
friends when they are sick. You say
he's a good man, all right.
So, If Jesus Christ is any good,
4 lust recommend Him to the other
fellow. He'd like something good as
well as you do.
Then YOU need another thing
We've got to turn from every known
sin if we are going to be any power
for God. You can't have your own
, way about everything. A lot of peo-
pie repeat the Lords prayer-"Our
Father, who are in heaven, hallowed
be Thy name''-and never tell it to
, their dying day. Now that shows
, you that you ought to do something
, out of the ordinary.
Fire Wagons Always
, Have Right of Way.
/ have always noticed that every
body considers himself licensed to
impede the progress of an ice wagon,
, but fire engine always has clear
street Learn something Get move
, on you and all the devils of hell will
! begin to howl That's why you never
!. stir up the devil-because you're not
doing anything so he's been asleep
/. all the time you've been on the job.
= So you need Gods word. Pack
your heart and pack your head full
of the Word of God. That's the sword
, of the spirit. The sword of the spirit!
> You can quote Shakespeare, Carlyle,
! Emerson and Herodotus to a sinner
= and he won't bat an eye because that
: isn't what the spirit can use, but when
. you 90 with the Word of God, that
!, will put all the devils on earth to
I flight. Don't you see? So pack your
: heart full of it. You want to use It
to convince man that he's a sinner.
:, How does a man know he's a GRIM
inaI? He's broken the laws of the
state-that makes him a criminal.
How does man know he Is sinner?
o When he lives contrary to the Bible
!, he is a sinner, no matter whether he
, thinks he is sinner or not-he Is a
J, sinner. A man may not think he Is
!, criminal, but if he breaks the law
!. he Is a criminal. So use the Bible to
: convince a man he Is a sinner and
: to reveal Jesus Christ.
: You ought to know the Bible be.
. cause-listen! God Almighty has been
= revealed through Jesus Christ, and
2 Jesus Christ is revealed through the
Bible. / must know the Bible to know
:, Jesus. l must know Jesus to know
!, God, and there is no way you will
= ever know God or Christ except you
know them through the Bible. There.
: fore, if you turn your back on Jesus
: you will never know the Bible.
Jesus Gave Us
q Best Example.
!. So Jesus came into the world not
:, only to reveal God to man, but to re-
= veal man to man, and in Jesus we
y have the highest revelation of God
= possible for the human mind to con
!. ceive, and in Jesus 1 have a revela
:. ton of myself to myself, for Jesus
. reveals what God wants me to be
