well. then you win accept Jesus
Christi"
Il know that ought to, but that
sin is remuneratiye to me and brings
me degree of pleasure at least, and
know that II took you by the hand,
would have to give up that sin"
So the poor man made his choice
Preferring to keep the sin rather than
Jesus Christ.
All Reasons
don't know what Is keeping you
out Of the kingdom I wouldn't tell
you II did know.
A colored preacher in Georgia was
asked to resign for something he did
that his parishioners did not approve
CT. So he went over into Alabama
and got church there. Everything
was going his way. So he decided one
morning to preach a sermon on
Thanksgiving" and he came out with
mis- robe one and who should he spy
in the front seat but one OF the par
ishioners from his old church in
Georgia.
When he say him, he said: '1 amt
\ gwine to preach. Use got a text and
it is in the Sculptures, but / amt
gwine to tell you. You knows me and
l knows you, and what l knows about
you l amt a gwine to tell, and if
you tells about me, what you knows.
will hit you so hard that I will make
dent in your shadow"
And so I don't know what is keep
ing you out of the kingdom, and Il
l did, / wouldn't tell.
Love of Money
Prevents Some
The love of money keeps some peo-
pie out of the kingdom and away from
God. Many a person knows he will
lose money If he becomes a Christian

! No good thing will be withheld
from those that walk uprightly.
! And to be shady in your transac-
lions with others in the world is wrong
and a great many would rather keep
this up than to accept Jesus Christ.

will you take your stand for Jesus
Christi"
And he said: '1f did would have
to send in my resignation to the firm

whiskey house in Louisville, and
would have to send my resignation.
l am getting $500 year and have
raised my wife and two daughters
in a good living and l could not cut
them down now"
How long do you suppose you will
live?"
81 don't know"
Suppose you live ten years. That
would mean thirty-five hundred dol
lars year. Suppose I could hand
you a check for thirty-five thousand
dollars, would you sign release and
say that you would repent?'
mo sir, I would not"
And you don't know that you will
be living tomorrow to draw another
cent, and yet you will sell your soul
TO the devil for few dirty dollars"
Why Girls Could
Not Attend
was preaching in West Pullman,
Illinois and there were lot of de-
partment store girls there and I said,
, Girls, why don't you give your hearts
to Christi"
They said: I'VE have to work in a
rtore and stand behind a counter and
sell goods that is misrepresented. We
, cannot do that and be Christians.
l would rather walk over q rough
and stony road to heaven than to

things he was member of. Stains

Do YOU mean teo tell me there I;

Many a fellow lives TODAY without
