Bob Johnson Delivers a
Powerful Sermon to
Women nd Men
SAYS SMOKING IS SIN
God Would Have Pro-
vided Chimney If Man
Meant to Smoke

Another tremendous audience
greeted Rev. Bob johnson last night
when he delivered a powerful sermon
to the industrial men and women of
Palatka in which he adjured them to
cast out devils and to resist sin. The
singing again was a feature and the
momentum already gained by the re-
vival was greatly accentuateG. Mr..
johnson said, in part:
81 think there is something like
100000 women who are wage earn
ers in the United States. If they
should stop the wheel of industry it
would be serious condition all over
the country. 1t would mean as much
and more than if all the wives and
mothers went on strike. l want you
all to know that l always look for
ward to the evening when have the
pleasure of talking to the business
women of any profession such as
teachers, stenographers, directors,
etc.
"Now, dear friends, | want to ask
that you go from this tabernacle,
telephone, talk and tell people of the
ways of Christ. 1t is absolutely on
the shoulders of the Christian peo-
pie to win sinners for Christ. 1t is
privilege to win men to Jesus and if
could win two men in this town to
Christ you would be losing pleas
ure and l would be winning.
"The Lord said, "Come for all
things are ready You know and |
know that if you go up and down the
streets of Palatka you will find so
many that will make excuses so un-
reasonable and so unthinkable. We
must quit sin or be lost. Jesus says
"He that cometh unto me | will in
no wise cast out" Men say that they
cannot be a Christian and could never
break away from their habit of sin.
The devil within says this, but cast
him out and say Satan, have no
use for you" The devil is a liar and
the father of liars. People do not
start out to be wicked sinful man
or woman. They don5t start out to
be thief.
"You may go on and on and get
ting more and more, but some day
your sins will find you out. Some
men may not start out to be muir
derer. He may try to get revenge
for this or that and finally he feels
in his heart that he hated them and
finally some day when the thing
flashed across his path he fired the
fatal shot and was murderer. l
don't believe any man started out to
be a drunkard or a gambler. A fell
low starts out to take drink or play
social game of cards and don't think
he will become a drunkard or
gambler. He may be a college grad
uate but some day he is asked to take
drink. After awhile he wants to
go himself and get something. Still
later on he gets someone else to go
with him and finally he has to have
it three times day and chaser be-
(! fore going to bed and all the while
the habit is binding him as fast as
anyone bound in steel and sending
him to the devil. Jesus will deliver
us from whatever sin may be in our
life.
"A sweet little girl whose father
was a drunkard was Stunned by her
playmates at school. They said
"your Papa staggers. When she came
home she said, Papa you don't stag
ger, do youf" Think of all the cow
ardly things a man can do is to live
life that so mean that his children
are subject to scorn and reproach.

What a pity for a child to bear the
reprcach of her fathers sin. Not
very long afterwards she was taken
ill and the father was awfully wor-
ried for he loved the little child,
and finally the little thing became
unconscious and she kept looking out
at him and saying Papa, do you
stagger?"
"Oh my friends, how much better
it would have been if he had become
Christian man before God came to
take his little darling away. These
things will come back to you. God
says Whatsoever man soweth so
shall he reap" If you are not will
ing to give up your sins you will have
to pay the price. Whatever your
sins are, gambling, stealing or drink

invitation you shall be saved. God
says "if any man be in Christ he is
a new creature, behold old things
have passed away and all things be-
come new" l would not ask you to
be a Christian if l knew you would
have to grit your teeth tomorrow tc
do right.

Groundhog Didn't

Some one gave the legend editor of
The News the wrong steer yesterday
and he printed a lot of bull about
grounding day beng on February 1.
The editor in chalet knew early this
morning that a mistake had been
made when the society editor said:
LA, ground hawgs don't come out un-
til February second and l see in my
paper that they has changed it to
February first" Then the editor in
chief looked in the book Sure enough,
his first fears were verified. The
ground 4grunt wasn't scheduled to take
the air until this morning. But he
didn't see his shadow and all of the
bunk printed about it yesterday will
do for today.
