The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-03-02


Night fell. The householder who
occupied the apartment opposite
their window came home and had
his supper, and now, comfortable
in his shirtsleeves, with pipe in
mouth, he sat in deep wicker
chair in front of his radio set, and
proceeded to explore the circum-
cumcambient either. So the watchers
by Paul's bedside got the news of
the election without leaving their
posts. Owing to difference in
time, California gets returns from
the east before it gets its own;
but it was all the same this Tues
day evening, east and west, the
fifty million dollar campaign fund
had done is work, and wherever
you listened, you learned that more
voters had cast their ballots for the
strong silent statesman than for all
his opponents put together. And
since that was the thing ardently
desired by the broadcasting sta
tions, and the great newspapers
and churches and temples and tab
ernacles which own them, there was
a tone of POPULARITY in the an
nouncements, and after you had
learned that Massachusetts was go
ing three to one for her favorite
son, you would hear the Six Jolly
Jazz Boys proclaiming, SCOT a hot
gal in railroad townw-or per-
haps the Chicago Comet, chuckling,

die in; but unfortunately Paul
wasn't hearing it.
The Tabernacle Of the Third Re-
velation on the air. Ellis followers
were not concerned with elections,
being soon to wing their way to
celestial regions which are con-
Quoted upon the monarchical prin-
ciple. They opened with an organ
recital, and the householder didn't
care for that, but perferred Radio
VIZ, program sponsored by the
Snow Baby Soap Company, intro
ducing the first appearance in
Angel City of the Pretty Pet Trio
singing their latest popular melody
hit, my Little Jazz-baby, Razz-
baby Coon" But later the house
holder tried the Tabernacle, and
there was the believing voice of
Eli, that all California householders
love. So Bunny and Rachel learned
what had been the meaning of Ellis
visit.
Brethren, the Lord has vouch-
safed a wonderful proof of His
mercy to me. Glorious tidings He
gives to the world tonight! l have
an older brother, the helpmate of
my boyhood, Paul by name, and he
was brought up in the fear of the
Lord; the voice of the Most Highest
was familiar to him on the lonely
hills where we rendered our IA
theirs flocks together. Shepherd
boys we were, sitting under the
stars, awaiting a sign of the
Lords mercy, and praying for the
lost ones of this world to be saved
from the devices Of the great
Tempter.
Brethren, this brother grew up.
and he strayed from the faith of
his childhood, he fell into evil com
pany, and became a scoffer at the
Lords Word. The love of our
Savior Jesus Christ was no longer
IN his heart, but hatred and strife
and jealously of those to whom the
Lord has revealed His Truth. And.
brethren, the ruin which this mis-
guided brother sought to bring
upon others has fallen upon his
own head, and tonight he lies dy-
ing, struck down by the evil pas
sions which he himself melted. II
was my painful task to go to his
bedside, and see him lying in a
stupor.
but oh my friends, who can
foresee the Wisdom of the Lord?
Who can understand His ways? It
was His viii TO answer my PRAYERS.
and permit my lost brother to open
his eyes, and hear the voice of the
Lord speaking by my lips, and to
answer, and confess his transgres-
sions, and repent, and be healed.
and washed in the Blood of the
Lamb. Glory hallelujah! Glory,
Though thy sins be as scarlet thew
shall become as white as snow.
blessed be the name of the Lord
Brethren, rejoice with me; for
have found my sheep which was
lost. | say unto you that likewise
joy shall be in heaven over one
sinner that repenteth, more than
over ninety and nine just persons,
which need no repentance. HalIelu-
jahl Hallelujahw
All through this discourse Won
