The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1922-05-17

title to your property was no good
would you damn him and cuss him
and laugh at him? No, sir You'd
go hire the best title lawyer, and
you'd have him trace that title back
to the government grant. You'd see
who had ever owned it, and if there
was any back taxes unpaid. If there
was the slightest flaw, you wouldn't
rest if you knew the title to your
property was no good. We have
lawyer in Chicago who does nothing
but examine titles to pieces of prop
erty. There has never been a real
estate contract of any Importance in
Chicago that Wilson hasn't given his
opinion on.
John Wilson makes a million dol
lars a year, just giving his opinion
on the value of titles to property,
and when he gives his opinion, you
can go to bed and go to sleep and not
worry any more about it. A man
said not very long ago,
Yes, | paid him $150,000 for his
opinion on a piece of property, but
1t took him almost year to be able
to say it was all right, and now that
L
go to sleep and be certain that the
deal is o. K" z
Always hire the best there Is in
the world. That is what we want,
and there is only one book that can
tell you the truth about eternity.
Down yonder, In the records of that
! book, if it says that your title is
good, 60 to bed and go to sIep, and
you don't need to listen to the sneers
| of anybody else. That is final, and
when the Bible tells you you are on
the road to heaven, then don't worry
about it.
Here is the only book in the uni
verse, my friends, that can tell you
whether you will be saved or lost.
| Every man believes he is going to
live forever somewhere, and the BIZ
Bile tells him where.
| Shown Valuable
| Diamond.
When l was in New York l was
! in Tiffany's, and they showed me a
diamond worth hundred thousand
j dollars. They don't carry that
around and leave it lying on the coun-
ter. They keep it locked up in the
safe where no thief can get at it.
Then, why do you go around with
your immortal soul, which is worth
more to you than anything else in the
| world, exposed to every infidel and
thief and libertine that comes around
and wants to rob you of that precious
! thing. If you came down the aisle
now and asked me to give up my hope
in Jesus Christ or take a quitclan
/ deed for this world, I'd give you my
life, for I'd rather have standing-room
in heaven,-don't you forget that! -
than all the world, and go to hell.
Now, l meet good many folks,
| old and young, who think it is an
| evidence of intellectual freedom and
superiority to question the Bible and
the existence of God and the divin-
ity of Jesus Christ. l dispute the
right of no man or no woman to their
opinion, but why be a fool and be-
lieve that you have no pre-eminence
or prominence over a beast?
You say you can't believe in the
| in the resurrection. Let me tell you
the story of greater miracle, the
| story of a poor peasant, a member
of despised and of subject race
| the Jews, himself despised, the place
|
| ignorant followers went forth to
teach. There was nothing attractive
about the gospel that he taught tC
the carnal mind, as far as this world
was concerned. All he offered his
followers was poverty, self-sacrifice
scorn, strife, persecution, death. He
! said that was their reward for be
| lieving and obeying his teachings
/ nd bo4 orc irr
attached. And Furthermore, he went
on to try and show them,
Career Of
Jesus Christ.
He never wrote a line, except {
few forgotten words which he traced
with his fingers in the sand He
scattered his precepts abroad and ht
left them to the memories of men
After a little while, they nailed hin
on the cross, and he died a felon'!
death. The world all around forgo
that he ever lived and cared less, ant
osophy with all its wisdom, priest
craft with all its terrors, kings WELD
ing the iron powers of the world
have all united to try and resist ant
overthrow the strange power left be
Jesus Christ, who didn't have twt
coats to his back, and l have go
four-more than that nowi
:. And yet, over armies, over EN-
pires, over dying dynasties, over pei
secution, over erumbling thrones
. over kings, over queens, over pres
, idents, over republics, through river
of fire, through seas of blood, tina
, power has swept on, until it has cor
quered the world.
Every king on every throne &C

young people, wait minute! Don
you be among those who scott an
sheer at God and Christ and the b

/ the blasphemers and the sneerers!
When ranting round in pleasure
ring,
Religion may be blinded
Or if she give a random sting,
/ She may be little minded.

, never cry out, as my friend, Stricl

I'm an alien to the faith my mott
