in and breathing out with regularity
that preserves us physically. Don't
you know that about 20 per cent OF
your lungs don't get much air because
you don't breathe deeply? That is
the reason people have consumption
and catarrh. They breathe through
their mouth and not their nose. They
don't throw back their shoulders and
breathe, and that space becomes af-
fected and sore. Twenty per cent of
your lungs never get any air, Just be-
cause you simply bite it off like that.
Just that little suggestion may keep
you out of the coffin for ten years.
That we breathe in and breathe
out is true physically. Let US apply
1t spiritually. How many people pray?
How many have read their Bibles?
How many of you prayed before you
came here this afternoon? You have
| had your dinner. You have dressed.
| You go out and work hard to get
| money enough to feed you three
meals a day. You have to have clothes.
/ You have been educated, gone to
| school. That is the way we train our
! bodies.
! But what about our souls? Never
pray, never read the Bible. Lots of
people go to church Sunday morning,
i but they never go Sunday afternoon or
night. They think they can take a
, spiritual breath big enough on Sunday
morning to last them until next Sun
! day morning. That is the reason they
go to the devil. No wonder they drift
away from the Lord. You can't eat
4 enough today to last until next week
Don't forget to thank the Lord.
He Will Have
to Leave
I want the strongest body I can
have. the best intellect can get, and
want to be strong for Jesus Christ
III think I can preach better if | can
eat three meals day than / could il

est sleeper that you ever looked at
You never met a man that eats less
or sleeps less than / do. Yet l have
been sleeping better here than have
been in any place for three years.
II guess it is because you folks are sc

down here. l regret to look ahead tt
the day when l will have to bid yol
goodbye and take the train.
And then, there is another thing
: get right with each other. l read o
: three confessions in the Bible. First
confess Christ as your Savior. Sec
, ond, confess your sins. Third, comics;
! your fault one to another.
Did you ever go UP to man ant
say, This is my trouble, what is you
) fault?" Now, on the level, did you?"
/ don't know what your fault is
Mine is my temper. have no appetite
; for drink, am not tempted along othe
lines, but temper is mine. l have ;
: temper like sheet iron stove.
E bunch of shavings and match woul'
make it red hot in two minutes. Blu
l am making progress along that line
g Lots of things come up to provoke, an
q hold in and do well.
Christ is your Savior. Confess you
v sins and faults one to another. SUI
pose the third is a condensation tina
) few people are willing to stoop to an
y yet it is essential. We want to &c
d along and grow and develop and the
q get right with each other.
