The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1922-05-08

There are two ends to everything
the apparent and the real. 1t Is
apparent that motion produces heat
and that heat produces light. That
is apparent; / know that. And on
and on and on it goes. l stand on
the shore of a lake or river, and
hurl stone out in the middle. or
to the edge. The waves start. They
will break upon the farthest short
of that lake or river That is APP
parent; we know that when that
stone hits the water it stirs up vi
brations and they make waves that
travel to the farthest shore.
Never Know
Effect of Act.
What about the real end? You per-
form an act. You think that is the
end. Somebody saw you; they will
take it up and do the same thing,
another and another. When you
make some one a Christian, you will
never know the effect of il until the
judgment, then God will tell you
how many were blessed by your act.
What shall the end be to them
that obey the gospel of God?"
Oh what is the use of Uncle Sam
erecting lighthouses and having fog
horns, my friends, to blow and bel
low, if the captains and the ships
crews are going to sleep and allow
the vessels to drift among the rocks?
oh, men and women, If | am to be
lost at last, If | am to be shipwrecked,
at last, ! would rather 90 down to des-
truction without the warning ringing
in my ears than would to drift to
destruction to the knocking cadence
of an alarm | would not heed, but
which if had needed would have
saved me.
To 60 down to hell with the mem
DRY of the admonition ringing in my
ears-oh, God that would be the hard
est kind of dying for me! To know
that l needn't have been there but 1
am there and can't get out, because
l wouldn't heed what has been said to
me-that would be the hardest death
can imagine for me.
And so the flowers fade and the
heart weakens; man grows old and
dies. The world lies down in the sep
ulchre of the ages, but time writes no
wrinkles upon the brow of Eternity.
1t is always as young as when it
starts.
what shall the end be to them
that obey not the gospel of God?"
1t has been said by certain man
that Moses made mistakes. Moses
may have made some mistakes, but he
never made a mistake when he wrote
these words:
! Our Rock
Is Secure
Their rock is not our rock our
enemies themselves being the judges"
When Voltaire, the famous infidel
of France, lay dying he said to his
doctor, "How long can / live?"
He said to him, "Six hours"
Voltaire said, Il will give you all
have, if you will spare my life six
months"
Then the doctor said, You can't
live six hours"
voltaire said, "Then I'll go to hell
and you will go with me-"
There was a shrek of agony and
the life of the famous French infidel
was no more.
When Hobbs, the famous English
infidel, lay dying, he said, 81 am TAX
ing leap into the night"
When King Charles TX, who gave
the order of the massacre of st. Bar
tholomew Day. when blood ran like
water-when King Charles lay dying,
he said, "Oh, God, how will it end :?
Blood, blood, rivers of blood. l am
lost"
And with a shrek the life of King
Charles TX was no more.
When King Philip III of Spain lay
dying, he said, II wish to God | had
never lived" then in sober moment
he said, II would to God l had lived
T
deigned and taught the people to fear
God"
With a shrek of agony his life
went out.
Years ago on the pretense of esteem
and love they would bring the prisoner
and show him hole through the
prison floor. Through it could be seen
the river of the lake of Geneva. They
would say to the prisoner, Don't say
that ! told you how to escape"
And the prisoner would step with
gIee through the hole, not knowing
that just underneath the surface was
sharp razor-like knife, and he
would be cut to pieces and his NUT
Hated body would drift out into the
waters.
Oh, infidelity has nothing, my
friends, to offer you. absolutely moth
ingi The greatest the world can give
you through it, will be crushed in the
end
Wesley said, when he lay dying, L
shall be satisfied when I awaken in
HIS likeness"
Neander said, Il am tired now and
must go to sleep, good night"
Frances E. Willard said, How beau
tiful to be with God"
Florence f. Foster said, The hill
tops are covered with angels. they
beckon me homeward-I bid you good
bye"
When Moody lay dying he said.
Earth recedes, heaven opens. God is
calling me This is to be my corona
ton day"
And the life of me great apostle of
God drifted out my friends forever.
