Speaker

"Stn Win Bring You Doton
Samson was a Nazarite, blessed
with the strength of God, a man
who was to be the conqueror of
the Philistines, the great enemy
Of the Israelites; but being Sc
dueed by sin, he lost his strength
and was made a slave by his
enemy. to do the work Of an OK
instead Of a hero. Sin brought
down David from his throne and
caused him to fall on his knees.
1t destroyed Belshazzar. the
great king. turning a night Of
feStivity into a night of blood
1t made a fool of Solomon with
all his wisdom. It destroyed Ju-
das, the man who walked
throughout the daily social life
Of God. - Yes, sin will bring
you down.
You may get by for a little
while; but as sure as the last
straw will break the back of the
camel, there is one sin, one fatal
act, one bad habit repeated for
the last time, one unforgiYen,
lastnon- forSaken sin, one last
zone more time, that is going
to break your back, destroy your
soul, put you out Of the reach Of
Gods mercy, for sin will bring
you down.
Just when a door is opened to
you, just when you are about to
take a high seat soneday, some
past deed that bGlt a monu-
ment on your road, some float
ing cloud that cast its shadow
in your way, eclipseS the sun
shine Of your life and shuts. the
doors Of opportunity once and
for all; as SIN will bring you
down.
God declared in his word that
there shall be some that shall
reach all the way up to the Gate
of Heaven and shall knock and
say open unto us Lord Jesus =
and the Lord shall say, who are
you and what are you doing
here? Lord have been healed
in Thy name. I have cast out
devils in Thy name, I have
preached in Thy name, I have
called on Thee all through the
midnight hours Of my life, and
now Lord I come unto Thee to
seek my reward. Sad shall be
that day when the answer comes
Depart from Me, ye workers Of
iniquity, I never knew you" Sad
shall be that day when the dis
appointed worker shall hear the
sentence pronounced upon his
soul that dooms him to ever
lasting destruction, because Of
the weight of unforgiven and
hidden sin. - Yes, sin will bring
you down.
We do not always commit sin
by doing that which is wrong,
but also by falling to do that
which is right, when right pre-
sents itself. You sin by not do
ing as well as by doing, for what
greater sin can q man commit
than he who sits idly by and
watches his brother in suffering.
The sin of omissions is ofttimes
far greater than that of COM
mission, for ofttimes the right or
the good we fail TO do brings on
greater harm than the wrong
We wilfully do.

They see lovely models wear

occasionally they find a really

We talked with one of the
well-known designers recently
and asked her if it wouldn't be
profitable to design Smar I
clothes for large women.
This is what she said: II do
make clothes for full figures,
some are even copies of the slim
models but no one would think
of putting out her best models

tons must be presented TO ac-
cent grace and suppleness and

clear the fact that we have enemies
out to destroy us and our Govern

can do so," Mr.. Murphy declared.
"If we in the District or anywhere
else are not thoroughly versed in
defending ourselves against bomb
ing raids, conditions under raids
may be considerably more serious
than they need be-"
Mr.. Murphy paid high tribute to
Col. Lemuel Bolles for his work
along with that Of a "large and i'm
portant handful" Of deputies who
are still doing their utmost in or
ganizing civilian defense here.
