Simpson Turner, Speaker
"A LION ON THE ROAD"


During the days of King Jeroboam
God sent one of his prophets with a
message to the King and told him to
eat no bread while on this mission.
But this prophet after delivering the
message was stopped on his way back
home by another prophet who induced
him to dine. The mission was COM
pleted and he of himself could find no
reason why he should eat no bread so
stepping out of Gods care-away
from Gods command, he disobeyed and
dined. He started his homeward
march down the road wondering what
would be the outcome of eating the
bread. Seeing no danger-feeling no
i'll effects with great confidence and
faith in God he continued his journey
until lion appeared on the road and
devoured him.
The price paid of disobedience was
death-the destruction of his voca-
tion-the end of his work. Obedience
in the sight of God is far greater than
sacrifice for it is an attribute of faith
of love-of humility and sacrifice.
We obey those we love,-We abide by
the commands of those in whom we
have faith,-we humble ourselves to
the voice of those respect and in
order for God to be your God-for you
to be His son you must hear His
voice.
When God says "do" He means edo"
When He says Ego" He means ego"
When He says "don't" He meant
don't" whether you know the reason
or not. Gods way is the only way to
heaven Gods method is the only
method for salvation,-God's Plan is
the only plan for redemption and in
Gods kingdom is it do or die.
The wages of sin is death-disobe-
dience is sin so it must bring on death,
so you who are yielding the mem
bers of your body to serve the devil
are making yourselves servants of
the Devil and must pay the price of
death, while you who are yielding the
members of your body to serve the
true and living God are becoming sons
of God and shall reap the blessings
within the fold.
There's a lion waiting on the road
for the hard of hearts to devour your
home; he'll devour the home that
finds contentment or compromise with
sin, he'll devour the church that oper-
ates below Gods standard, he'll devour

much to destroy complacency based on
low recent lynching figures.
A native white Southerner, unnamed,

and his report declares that the num-
Der of colored people lynched annually
is countless, and that these killings
do not reach the statistics solely be-
cause a new method of lynching has
been developed-one which avoids pub
licity and escapes the attention of the
