The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1922-05-19

laugh at you and the fear of those crit
icisms would keep you from Jesus
Christ, he is damnable and low down
that l would not insult a polecat by
comparing it with him. And if he is
as low in stature as he is in principle,
he could kiss rat without bending
his knees. Why, he hasn't brains
enough to make desert for a map.
In Philadelphia there was a fellow
who worked in one of the big factories
and he took his stand for Jesus Christ
and he stood at the door of the factory
the next morning and he said, Jack,
took my stand for Jesus Christ at
the tabernacle last night. Will you
help me?"
And he told every man that came
in what he had done. They boosted
him. They admired the one that had
given his heart to Jesus Christ.
Zacchaeus knew he was an old sin
ner when he climbed that tree, but
before he struck the ground he was
converted and his sins were all blotted
away.
Sin-you roll 1t like a sweet morsel
under you tongues, it may be remuner-
atiVe to you, but don't forget that the
the end of the road is a good deal
harder than the road.
Sin-with that one word SIN, l
can spell all the murders, all the
thefts, all the outrage, all the seduc-
ton, the lust, the drunkenness, bias
phemy, broken hearts, all that blights
like pestilence and causes the misery
of this world; all with that one word
SIN. Come down from your sin and
turn from it to the name Of Jesus
Christ and do His will.
Come down from your morality.
am not conveying the idea that you
should be immoral, no; but l want to
convey with all my power, stop trust
ing in your morality for salvation.
You have got to have something more
than that if you are ever saved. Nor
atty is included in Christianity, but
Christianity is not included in moral
ity.
Many People
Are Moral
There are lots Of good moral men
and women who are not Christians,
but there are no Christians who are
not moral
''The Son of Man is core" Jesus
said to Zacchaeus, THE Son of Man
! is come to save the lost" There are
many reasons why He did not say
The Son of God" Why? l will tell
/ you.
| There is a fear in the heart Of every
unsayed man or woman when they
| think of God. And why shouldn't
you? God could speak and the oceans
would break their appointed bounds.
God could speak and the tide would
not stop at or feet, she would
sweep over the Rocky Mountains.
Couldn't God speak and this continent
would sink into the sea?
Couldn't God speak, blow His breath
and twist your sky-scrapers until they
would lie in ruins at your feet
Couldn't God speak and every one of
us drop dead? Why shouldn't a man
fear when he thinks about God?
Don't God hold in His hands the
seas as they wash to and fro? Doesn't
He hold in His hands the winds as
! they blow? Certainly He does, but the
Son of Man, tempted as we are tempt
ed, tried as we tried, oh, He stoops
by the wayside to help every tempest
I tossed and discouraged soul on earth
The Son of God in power the Son OF
+ Man in sympathy. He comes to help
US, if we will let Him.
Did you ever read of the parting OF
Hector from his wife? Hector came
out to go to battle, and the nurse came
/ with his little baby boy. The child
failed to recognize the father with his
helmet on and he removed it and the
! little one recognized the father and
! leaped into his arms. He kissed the
child and was away to battle.
When l look at Jesus Christ 1t is
God with the helmet on and when He
| lays it off He is the Son of God in
power and the Son of Man in sympa
thy, come to help me-
Oh, there is a big difference between
/ seeking and looking. If should gel
off this platform tonight and wall
down that aisle and across the end anC
then l said to the ministers, LAS
night lost something" they would
have right to ask two things. First
what l lost and if it had any value
and second, if l were willing to spend
any time in the search. If so they
:, would gather all the shavings and gc
through them all in search of it. Tha
would be seeking.
Christ Came
For Sinners
THE Son of Man has come to seel
and to save that which is lost"
The trouble is Jesus Christ has beer
seeking you but you have turned you
back on Him. Turn around and yol
will find Him right here and read,
to throw His arms arond you
THE Son of Man has come to seel
and to save that which is lost" an,
He has been seeking some of you TO
ten, twenty, thirty, fifty years and 70,
have not found Him. For He is com
. to seek and save the lost.
I wish l were able to put into tina
