die before they can know they are
going to heaven. 1t is your privi-
lege to know your standing in Jesus
Christ now. Yes, sir! More certain
than a captain can tell where his
ship is in mid-ocean and great deal
Of the New Testament was given to
give us the latitude and the longi-
tude of our spiritual life, to tell right
where you are all the time.
Here is another. "He that hear
eth my words, and believeth on Him
that sent me, hath everlasting life,
and shall not come into judgment"
That ought to tell you whether you
are going to heaven or not. l have
heard people stand up here and pray,
preachers, too, they'd say, Now,
Lord, save us at last for Jesus sake"
| am saved now | am not praying,
Save me at last" l am saved now.
Bless God, l am making no pro-
vision for relapse. I've got a through
ticket. Say, l am just Presbyterian
enough to believe that, by jinks.
Saved! So that is a good one.
Here is another one: eff any man
have not the spirit of Christ, he is
none of His"
If you have been baptized, sprinkled
or immersed or read the thirty-nine
articles of the confession, or the cate
chism long and short, and been sancti-
fled and gotten the second blessing,
and have not the spirit of Christ,
beat it. You are none of His. That
( ought to show you whether you are a
Christian, just as plain as looking in
the glass will show you a pink wart
on your nose.
/ We know we have passed from
death unto life. If not, / hope so.
We know that makes it easy as tell
ing day from night. We know, just
as rifle is exceeding great and
precious to a soldier whose life is in
danger, so the promises of God are
to the soldier of the cross. And there
is nothing against him from which
they will not be able to deliver him.
Take worry. What a dreadful thing
worry Isl Lots of people instead of
trying to drown their troubles, they
are giving them swimming lessons
Don't put a life preserver on your
troubles, tie lead to their feet
Worry! What a dreadful thing
worry is.
Old worry came and rang my bell
/ And awakened me from slumber
i / hollered: Here, old guy, move on,
You've knocked at the wrong mum
Der.
Trouble torments you day and night
God never made a Christian strong
enough to stand the strain of today
and the duties of tomorrow at the
same time. The quartet may be sing
ing, Lead Kindly Light
Did you get it, that is good one
What makes you think the bank i:
going to break, business is going tt
smash, you are going to die in tn,
poorhouse, the children are going t
get sick, the maid is going to leave
the house will burn? The heavies
) burdens of the world are the burden!
of tomorrow that you pick up toda,
and try to lug along with the dutie
of today. Let them alone. You ma,
never get there to pick them up to
morrow. Just let them alone. w
know. We pass from death unto life
An old man got up to give a test
mony. He said, Brothers and sisters
have had heap of trouble in m,
day, but the greatest trouble that
ever had was the trouble that l didn'
i have"
II A cheerful disposition, that beats
pedigree that takes you back to tn

An imaginary trouble kills a hur
dred where a real trouble wound
one. 1t is about as much a sin t
