of Jesus Christ to the people, anu
every ruler in Russia today is II sym
pathy with the Y. NJ. C. A. and otner
movements that are spreading the Cos
pei of Jesus Christ, so not only, my
friends, did they overthrow and ban
ish vodka, but they opened the doors
so that the Christian religion can be |
preached.
Many Are
Christians
Another thing. the secretary of the
Republic of China is Christian; the
treasurer is a Christian, many leading
officials are Christians. and the next
man who will be president was grad
uate of Yale college, and the doors OF
China are thrown open to Christianity,
for the reigning heads today are SYM
pathetic with it. This old world is on
the very verge of the greatest changes,
, politically, morally, religiously, since
Jesus Christ hung on the cross. You
| ought to be thankful that you are
alive, you ought to be thankful that
God is giving you the opportunity here
in this city to do something by your
| influence to help re-write the history
! of America.
There never has been a time in the
history of Christianity. my friends,
| when the great cities opened their
minds and hearts so toward God. They
had an idea that the gospel was
| good thing for the rural community
! and all that but that they were i'm
mune in big cities. I am glad that
movements like this let the man in
| the country know that you are common
! folks whether you live in a palace, or
/ in a dugout or a log cabin on the
mountain sides of Tennessee. The eyes
! of the ungodly are turned toward the
/ godly everywhere-the congregation.
! the home, the Office, the store and

There were Peter and John. They
walked by the Gate Beautiful and a
fellow lying there begged aims and
Peter said:
Believes in
Power of Christ
Silver and gold have we none but
such as we have we are willing to
give you in the name of Jesus Christ.
Arise and walk"
And the man leaped to his feet like
hart painting after the water brooks,
and when they that stood by saw it,
they believed in Christ through the
power of God, through Peter and John.
to make lame man walk.
But if Peter had been out hitting
the booze, hugging some other mans
wife, the spirit of God couldn't have
been manifested through him.
And there was Joseph! Joseph had
dream, and you remember his broth
ers saw him coming and they said,
"Ha, ha! ha! Yonder comes that
dreamer. Well fix him." and so they
killed kid and they took his coat and
dipped it in the blood and sent it back
home to his father and said:
I'VE found this coat We don't know
whether it belongs to Joe or not"
Liars! They knew all about it.
The old man commenced to cry He
said, "An evil beast hath devoured
him. My gray hairs shall go down
unto the grave"
And then you know how along came
: the Ishmaelites and they sold JOSEPH
down into Egypt. He went down there
and that miserable old God-forsaken
licentious woman, Potiphars wife
tried to put one over on him. But
tell you he stood pat for God and de
cency, and she failed and framed il
I'D on him and they threw him in Jail
He lay there for four years. Their
YOU remember the dream and how he
interpreted it.

He came out then, and they made
