AM OLD REPROBATE HIDES WIFE'S I0FFIN WITH FLOWERS WHO NEVER GAVE HER FIVE DOLLARS IN HIS LIFE BILLY

I'M I ' The text "Power with God and with r men, and hast prevailed." Genesis 32nd chapter, 28th verse. , . . -. , j : , The character of Jacob was (hp by Billy Sunday, who said: It is not necessary for me to consume my strength and your time to give you the story in detail. For there is no. character in all history with whom the average man or woman is mdre familiar than Jacob. Someone has named him the Peter of the Old Testament; and the history of Jacob Is lamely the history of the Jewigh nation in epitome; and I think that the existence and the history of the Jewish nation is one of the stupendous monuments of the inspiration of the Bible. The seed of Abraham is the miracle of history. It makes my blood boil to hear a man speak of the Jew as a sheeny or a Christ-killer. If ever you walk the streets of glory and are kept out of hell it will be because of your repentence and faith in the shed blood of a Jew. for humanly speaking. Jesus . Christ came from the Jewish nation. And Mirabeau in the French Assembly, Patrick Henry in the House of Bourgeoisis, and Samuel Adams in Independence Hall, and Daniel Webster in the United State3 Senate, never uttered anything more eloquent than the response to the common people made by Jesus, when they taunted and sneered at him for being a Jew. Jews Have Kept Nationality Intact. He said,, "Yes, I am a Jew, and when your ancestors were naked savages wandering through the forests, mine were High Priests in the Temple of God." And a Jew is just as distinctively a Jew today as he wa3 8,000 years ago. ... All other nations have lost their nationality by marrying and inter-marrying and assimilating, but not the Jew. Some . of the shrewdest financiers of the world are Jews. You pay trib ute to the Jew for the suit you have an. and the dress you wear; for they control the tailoring and the custom-made business of the United States. There is not a cabinet in Europe that hasn't had Jews in its membership. If you visit a poorhouse you will not find a single Jew father or mother living off the county. You won't find a Jew among the hoboes or weary . Willies : panhandling for a hand-out. A Jew organized the New York pure milk supply my friend Nathan Strauss. And there is nothing more important today than to help the people obtain pure milk. That has been one of the greatest sources for the prevention of disease. It was recently discovered that there are over three thousand kinds of germs in milk. We have only been able to classify four hundred of them. When milk comes from the udder of the cow it is about the same temperature as your blood, and at that temperature the germs will double over twenty million times. So they reduce it down to a cold temperature to freeze and destroy them. It was a Jew that gave the money that sent Columbus on his voyage of discovery. Isabelle had to hock her jewels and they were hocked to a Jew. And the map Columbus used was drawn by a Jew. one or his officers, was a Jew, and his doctor and interpreter were Jews. And the I Interpreter was the first one to land upon the new soil. Three of George Washington's staff were Jews. Colonel Frederick North was a Jew. and gave George Washington $658,000 to prosecute the Revolutionary War; to help make possible our American Independence, - And the Jews have been living in every land, but they have selected America as their home. In 1665, the British Government, which had the whole control of this country, gave them the right to make this, my friends, their home, and for 2,000 years.. they, had been without a home, without a country, without a flag. And when 20,000,000 boys and girls in the public schools of America rise and salute and pledge allegiance to the Stars and Stripes, 650,000 of the patriots are Jews. And it is the only nation that God selected through which to reveal himself to the world, and they have outlived the Tudors, the Stuarts, and the Plantagenets. They have outlived the Romanoffs of Russia; they have outlived the tyranny of Spain; they have outlived the dynasties of France; the glory of Charlemagne; or the name of Julius Caesar; or the conquering power of Alexander the Great; and the Babylonian Kings in Egypt; and the Pharaohs. All hail to the Jews! So

vour God. - - -- - Too Few Pray In Real Sincerity. How many people pray In real sincerity? Then seem to dress up for the occasion like some grocer who puts the large apples on the top of ihe barrel and the worm-eaten windfalls in the bottom. Or when you go to buy strawberries you find the red ones are on top and the green ones in the bottom, acJ maybe th? s o naif inrh shv Or vou walk tip to buy a basket of peaches; they look ripe under the red mosquito netting, but I'll bet" that you could kill a man at thirty yards with one of them. They aro so hard! 4 My friends, the world is asking God for a picture of Jesus Christ, and in response he points to the photographs of the people whose names are on the church record. Oh, what a sad reproduction! No wonder the world isn't crowding around God's photograph gallery. No wonder it is standing there with a lonely sign hanging out. It makes a sad reproduction of Jesus Christ and his truth. Il think a man is a fool who thinks he can gain anything by growling and finding fault at home and making; Hll on earth. If some people grow led over what they get to eat at a hotel like they do about the things they get-to eat'lat ihome, they'd be kicked .out in . ftve ? minutes and be without a tooth in their head. - ,1 waB preaching in a town in Iowa one time and a fellow came up to me and said. "Will you pray for a friend of mine?" I said. Sure, -does he come to the meetings?". "Yes. regularly." And so this fellow that had made the request went and sat down about three Feats from the front, right on the end. Ite hadn't been there more than five lmnutes when an . usher brought a

THE RICHMOND

young fellow in and gave him a seat in front. I saw this fellow bow his head on the back of the seat and remain in that attitude most of the time I was preaching. When I got through I gave the invitation, and the first one to come was this fellow who has been sitting here in front of thia other fel-1 low. When the service was over the man who had made the request of me rushed up, his face aglow, and he said, "Do you remember what I asked you to pray for?" He said, "I had no sooner taken my seat than the usher gave him a seat up in front of me, and when you gave the invitation he was the first man to go to the front, and I never was so surprised in all my life." Power of God Never Thwarted. New, Jacob undertook to struggle with God, and God broke his thigh. Thigh is the symbol of power, and ho had to do it to make him realize his weakness. Oh, God may have to reach in behind the counter and grab some of you bankers by your collar and yank you out and throw you on your backs and shake shrouds over you, and ask you how you have solved the problem. "What doth it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" God may have to take some of you women and shake a shroud over you. He may have to back a hearse up in front of your house before you will ever pray. He will do it if he has to. He will show you how weak you are and how helpless you are. Then you turn to him. He said, "Lord deliver me." If you will all offer an honest prayer you will make that prayer "God deliver me." I don't know what your trouble is. I don't care to know. I have no disposition to butt Into your affairs or your weakness. Some person would say, "God deliver me from my pride." Some people are so contemptibly proud they are uncomfortable. - And some, "Lord deliver me from my lust," "Lord deliver me from my strong drink." "Lord, deliver me from ray spirit of deception." "Lord, deliver me from the gossiping disposi tion that I possess." God will come as a nurse Kina, gentle, lenaer, sympathetic, with the opiates and the panaceas and if you don't listen to him then, he will come as a surgeon. He will drive his scapel and trocar into the very putrifying abscesses that are boring their way toward your vitals. God Wants to Keep You Out of Hell. God's doing his best to keep you out of hell. You'd better listen to the Lord and give him a chance. God's your friend. He wants to do you good. If God would have his way this old world would be a grand, glorious place in which to live. We have reached the crisis as a nation. The nations of the world are in the midst of such a crisis as has not been recorded on the pages of history for centuries and centuries; in the midst of a crisis spiritually and morally. God won't be here but will be particularly near in these days. He reached a crisis. Is God wrestling with you to give up some sin that you roll like a sweet morsel under your tongue; to give up your companion that is dragging you down as a mill stone about your neck? You may have brougnt mm nere lomgai uecause il is a convenient place to spend a little time, and you have a suspicion that is within your heart tne leasi mougm about sin and the companion with whom you are going to sin may rub elbows with you now. Take it from me. "Be sure your sin will find you out." Give up your companion anybody that will drag you down and away from God and decency and truth. Some of you may have to pull out your bankbooks, write a check on he bank, pay back some man you skinned j Wltn some lane numus tauun, ur juu sold him real estate down in Florida and you'd have to have a submarine to find. it. What Is Your Real Name? He confessed his sin. He said, "What is your name?" He said, "My name is Jacob." When God named the Children of IsTael In those days the name stood for something. Now we name them because it sounds pretty. What is your name? Jacob! That means supplant and scheme. What is your name? I don't mean the name on your doorplate. What is your name? I don't mean the one the people call you by. I don't mean that. Not the one in which you got an automobile license; not the one with which you pay your income tax, or your county or your city tax; not the one on your marriage certiWhat is your name? Not the one in the telephone directory. What is your name? I mean the one that God knows you by. Somebody said "Good Morning." God said, "You weaseleyed, hatchet-faced, lantern-Jawed, neighborhood gossips. You can start more factions and feuds and stir up more trouble." What is your name? "Good morning." God says, "You old boozeholster, keeping somebody in the bide. "YVnai IS your name? He earn, - il is jacoo. i ,au a ovuemc. . l am a suppiainer. uuu oajo, i won't call you Jacob any more. I'll give you a new name. Ill call you Israel. "As a prince thou hast power with God and with men." Oh, prayer, my friends, can move God. And God can move things. It won't be easy to come out and put on a badge and usher people; it won't be easy to come and sing in a choir: it won't be easy to go and pray; It won't be easy to climb these office buildings and Invite the girls; It won't be easy to do that. Be Good to Family While You Have Chance. Now, I will say this, and then I am done: I just got through the introduction, but I'm going to quit anyway Every good wife would rather have the flowers that's going to be put on her coffin scattered through life while she can admire them. And I will tell you another thing: I think there are too many big rosewood caskets, tube roses, anchors, gates ajar. wheel3 with a spoke broken out of them, bought with money that ought to have been spent for a hired girl. Many an old repro bate hides his wife's coffin with flowers who never gave her five dollars In his life. Why? I will tell you. The only reason he spent so much money at the funeral was to try and pull the .....

PRAYER MEETINGS WILL DRIVE HOME VALUE OF SUNDAY'S REVIVAL TO SOULS OF MANY

Neighborhood prayer meetings for every Tuesday and Friday during the series of Billy Sunday meetings, in various sections of the city, is the aim of the neighborhood prayer meeting group which met Wednesday with Miss Florence Kinney in the tabernacle immediately following the afternoon sermon of Mr. Sunday. "The task of the leaders i3 not always easy," declared Miss Kinney, "but it is one of the most important parts of the whole campaign. "Souls can be saved and individuals converted in those neighborhood meetings, just as well as at the big tabernacle meetings." Ten Sections Arranged The whole city is divided into ten sections, each of which is under a superintendent, who is responsible to Miss Kinney or to Rev. A. H. Backus, who is chairman of the prayer meeting committee and is the clearing house for all information relating to the meetings. Women who had been attending the prayer meetings which have been held for the last two weeks among the different sections of the city, told of the success of the meetings, attendence from six to 25 being reported. Miss Kinney also announced the beginnig on Thursday of her Bible Class which meets every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday immediately after the afternoon sermon. "I am using the synthetic method, she said, "and. you may be sure that

Trombone Player Rodeheaber Inspires Hearts With Music

How the audience was, where he could find a tennis court to keep in shape on, and when he could find his new car that was supposed te be de livered to him in Richmond, were questions that were on Homer Rodeheaver's mind the first thing after he got to Richmond. "Oh, you don't want to write about me; you want to write about the work of Miss Kinney and Mrs. Asher," was his first comment. "I just lead the choir and follow Billy Sunday around," he said. But big, hearty Rody has more of a job than that. Rody is the fellow who gets the crowd in a good humor by stirring up the singing and playing rousing hymns on his celebrated trombone. He Is Popular "I don't know whether it is Rody who made the song famous or the seng that made Rody famous," said cme visitor at the tabernacle, "but 'Brighten the Corner Where You Are and Rody can't be separated." Then, when a shop meeting is to be held, Rody is there to lead the singing and to make a talk, and when Billy goes anywhere, Rody is there to get the singing started right again. Just let any of the other workers want for anything special and they come to Rody and ask him to help wool over some other woman's eyes, or he would never have another wife. And there are a lot of men who never say anything good about their wives until they have it carved on a tombstone. Oh, the mocking irony of carving on a tombstone "At rest" when the poor slave was worked to death. Then, I would rather have a rosebud while I am here to see, Than have the costliest flowers placed on my coffin for me. I would rather have a rosebud, a tribute of today, Than have the richeat laurels when I have passed away. I would rather have a kindly smile, Oh, from hearts forever true, Than tears shed round my lifeless form when earth I've bade adieu. I would rather have the kindliest words that can be said to me. Than flattered when my heart is still, and life has ceased to be. Then, give me a rosebud, a rosebud pink or red, I'd rather have just one tonight, than ten million when I'm dead.

I will not ask you any question until I get to know you pretty well." The class meets for a half hour only. Work with the boys takes Miss Kinney's time on Saturday afternoon, the first of which is to be held at 3:30 on April 22. Miss Kinney, and perhaps Mrs. Ash-

Wants to Play Golf Tennis is the favorite sport of the choir leader. Maybe the long strokes of the trombone have something to do with the way he takes to the swing of a racket. But he cannot play golf. "I have got to learn," he said, "so this time while I was in New York I ordered a set and had them sent out here to Richmond. Maybe if I have the time I can learn a little here and then not be such a dub if I have to play with anyone I know. "Of course, I know a lot of people here, but they won't say so much about learning." Mr. Rodeheaver has just returned from New York, where he has been making records for the Gennetts. With Sunday 12 Years Ago Mr. Rodeheaver is one of the best known gospel singers in the country. He has been with Mr. Sunday for 12 years, and his work with the trombone is celebrated. He got his education in eastern Tennessee and then went to college at Ohio Wesleyan. His first public appearance as a musician was with the Jellico Tennessee Silver band when he played the drums. He has studied music under Oscar Saener and Madame Turner Kurtz. During the World war he, like Fred Kapp.-was overseas with the Y. M. C.'i A. and played at most all of the battle fronts. He is a member of the Rotary club. ! Sons of Veterans, Spanish-American War Veterans, Knights of Pythias, Mystic Shrine, and Methodist church. HAS HAY FEVER "I have the hay fever when I am around here in the summer time, so I go out to Hood River in Oregon, then. That is the most beautiful natural scenery in the world." Sunday said. "The most beautiful artificial scenery is at Pasadena, Cal." YOU CAN'T (Continued from preceding page) so much the doing of what God tells you not to do as it is the not doing of what God tells you to do. There are two pillars that support the gospel, the "thou shalt nots" and the "thou shalts." Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord In vain. . Thou ehalt love the . Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul and with all thy strength. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. The trouble with a lot of people

today is that It is not the things that' God tells them not to do that they do, but it is the things that God tells ' them to do that they don't do. "Curse ye Meroz. said the angel of the Lord, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to help of the Lord, to the help of the. Lord against the mighty." God cursed them not for what they did, but for what they did not do that God told them to do. They did

not come up and help God. God says, "You are cursed because you did not do it." Don't Persist In Your Enmity. That may be your trouble. You are refusing to apologize to somebody.' My , friend Campbell Morgan was i preaching in England, and a lady; came up to him and said, "Dr. Mor--gan, can't you tell me what's the! trouble with me?" He said, "No, ma'am, I am not a physician." She said, "It is not a physical disability with which I am afflicted, it is a spiritual malady. Four years ago, I lost the joy of salvation." He said, "Bless the Lord!" In amazement she said, "What!" He said, "You said four years ago. I said Bless the Lord! because you specify the time; if you know when, you know why." Her eyes dropped to the floor and she said, "Yes, I do. Four years ago, I had a quarrel with my best friend, and we have not spoken since. He said, "If you had died, you would be in Hell For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you." He said, "Where does your friend live?" She said, "She lives 400 miles away." "All right, write her a letter." He left her. He went back to that same town about a year later, and the first woman he met was this woman; her face was lighted up like a halo of glory. He took her by the hand, and said, "Sister, you have written that letter that we talked about a year ago." She said, "Yes, Doctor, I wrote it that night." And Ehe said. "When I did the peace of God flooded my soul!" Poor chump! It would have flooded her soul four years ago, if she had written the letter then. Maybe it i3 that. Pay Your Debts And Be Happy. Maybe you don't pay your debts. Maybe you don't pray. Maybe you are a coward about witnessing for Jesus Christ and standing up for the Lord and for his truth. Would you be ashamed tJ stand f hus. band or d ashamed to stand up for your children? Are you days. Why should you be ashamed to stanrf im for Tcsns rhrist?" Now here are seven scriptural defi nitions of sin. There are lots of ripsorintinns f sin W T mMn ar-Hn. "Sin is the transgression of the law." That is the common, ordinary definition. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred people will give, if you ask them what is sin, "the transgression of the law." Sin is doing what God tells you not to do. Second, "Whatsoever is not a faith In sin."- Anybody that doesn't believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God;? in God as the only God; the Bible as the Word of God; Heaven for the repentent sinner; Hell for the unrepentent sinner; the Holy Ghost. "Whatsoever is not of faith is sin." See? It doesn't make any difference who preaches it or who practices it, it i3 sin. If they stand up and preach thai Jesu3 Christ is not the Son of God. it is sin. When they say, "saved by character," they lie, because you are not. You are saved by faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. i ThiW,"To him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him it is sin." What is sin? Oh, you just thought it was doing something God told you not to do. It is that, but it is something else too. Here is another: "If you have respect of person, ye commit sin." God offers salvation to everybody. If the rich man doesn't repent, he will go to Hell. If the poor man doesn't repent, he will go to Hell, and if the banker doesn't repent, that won't save him. God doesn't condemn a man simply because he happens to be successful and prosperous in the world; it is a question of his attitude toward Jesus Christ. "The thought of foolishness is sin," God knows there is plenty of that about religion and about the Divinity of Christ and the doctrine of salvation and all that. If what I preach is not taught in the Bible, get up and tell me! if it is, keep your darned mouths shut, for I am preaching God's truth. I am not standing up here airing my opinions, and if you sit out there and listen to me and don't agree with me, that shows you are a fool, for what I am preaching is the Bible. You are the ass, not me. "A high look, a proud heart is sin." "All unrighteousness is sin." ' There are seven scriptural definitions of sin. All right! You just please trot me out somebody that does not stand convicted before one of those seven counts. You say, "I have been sanctified." All right, line up with the rest of them. Nobody is Clean After Examining Self You say, "I have been confirmed." All right, come on stand up. You say you know there are thirty-nine articles of confession. All right, come on. Been in the mass, all right, get in with the rest of them. Show me somebody that does not stand cenvicted before one of those seven definitions. Here is the point of it: What are we going to do? First, confess your sins. If we confess our sins. He will forgive us our sins. Lay a hold of the thing that the spirit reveals to you that is wrong in your life. Never mind me now! The trouble is, you butt in with other people. Tend to your own affairs; lay a hold on the thing that TABERNACLE DATA Albert Peterson, custodian of the tabernacle, places its seating capacity, including choir and platform, at just about 5,000. Collection Tuesday afternoon was $58; evening, $215.

YOU CAN'T BOSS HIM

If the preacher stands up to speak the truth, some Godforsaken old mountebank will object, but take it from me. Bud, I want to tell you you've got no more business to run the church because you've got a little more dough than that fellow who sits there that hasn't got a sou. Take your money and go to the devil with it. You can dictate to some preachers because you've got a little money, but you won't tell this preacher how to preach. You've put your eyeball on one you can't tell how to preach. It won't do you any good. Not that I know all about it, but I know I am preaching to the people. There's a big difference between preaching for God and preaching to God. Any time you don't like it you can- beat it the spirit reveals to you and name that. Say, Lord I have been impure. Lord I have been untruthful. Lord I have been worldly (I am assuming! that these may be the sins of somebody) Lord, I have been proud, Lord I have been niggardly in my gift. Lord, I have got a hot temper; Lord, I don't read my Bible; Lord, I don't pray; Lord, I don't pay my debts; Lord, I talk about my neighbors; Lord, I am a coward about witnessing for Jesus Christ. Humiliating, I will agree, but it will bring you blessing. I am assuming you want to be blessed. I will tell you how to get it. (The first thing is, confess your sins. i Second, renounce sin, abandon It. ."Whosoever is convicted of his sin shall not prosper, but who confesses and forsakes his sin shall find mercy." Separate your life from that sin, tear that 6ln out of your life, get rid of it, get away from it. "If thy right hand offend thee, cut it off." If there is anything in the world that is useful to you and it is keeping you away from God, God says get rid of it. God doesn't mean to dig your eye out. If there is anything in the world that s as valuable to you as your right hand and arm and that thing is keeping you away from God, get rid of It. Renunciation Must Follow Confession. Confession without renunciation doesn't amount to anything. If a man confesses sin and keeps on living in sin, he did not mean anything by his confession. And if man stops living in sin without confessing it, that doesn't mean anything, for that's the reformation. But if he confesses and forsakes, the forsaking shows the confession was genuine. So it is no good to confess it ' it you don't forsake it, vice versa, because the confessing shows that you were sorry, that you did it so God will forgive it. That doesn't mean that you have to stand up and I 1 thlnk you can go back too far on 'the trail of anybody. It is none of your business. "Whatsoever ye woujd that men should do to you, do ye even so to them." If you know anything about anybody keep your mouth shut. You would be mighty glad if anybody had anything on you and they'd keep their mouth shut. If you say to that child, don't do it, and it does it, and if you say to this child, do it and it doesn't, in its case it is disobedient, and so are you. You don't do what God tells you to i wnen 1" "e lm?F' I? al noia your neaa so mgn. 10 in in mai knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, j (to him it is sin." "All unrighteous-; ness Is 'sin." Instant obedience. When Jesus confessed his glory at the Kingdom of Galilee, his mother turned around j and said to the crowd, "Whatsoever ! he salth unto ye, do it in instant obedience." j Wait a minute! I'd make that definite. I'd say, Lord, I will write that letter of apology. Lord, I will pay my debts. Lord, I will read my Bible. Lord, I will stop talking about my neighbors. Lord, I will confess Jesus. Lord, I will pray in public. Lord, I will ask for blessings. Lord, I will go to prayer meeting and give the preacher nervous prostration when he sees me come in, for I have never been there. I will, I will, I will! Give Yourself Up Entirely to God. Give yourself up to God, wholly, fully, unreservedly, irrevocably, give yourself. That is what you promised to do when you were married. You said, "Yes," and that, fellow said, "Yes." All right give yourself to the Lord. Give yourself. Say, "Lord.here I am." That is the whole thing, bring your sins and lay them at the foot of the Cross, and say, "Lord, nothing in my hand I bring, simply to Thy cross I cling." I don't bring my culture, my money; I don't bring anything and plead that I ought to have salvation because of that. In my hand no prize I bring, simply to Thy cross I cling. Just as I am, without one plea, I come, I come. Just as I am, without one plea. And do you know what He will do? He will take out of your life that which made you do the things he told you not to do, and he will put in your life that which will keep you from doing that which he tells you not to do, and will help you to do the things he tells you to do. Say. "Lord. I want to renounce these things, but they seem to cling to me. Lord, I don t want to lose my temper, but sometimes I do get under a fifty-pound pressure, when I have a blow-out or my carburetor stops working and I will just get an awful fit." Say, "Lord, I don't want to be stingy, but I go to church with my purse filled with gold and I hunt around and find a nickel and then I sing 'Jesus Paid It All.' ' Say, "Lord, I don't want to neglect my Bible, I take it and read it quietly where nobody sees me." Grace of God Will Cleanse Your Soul ' Tell God! And the Grace of God will go a3 deep as the roots of sin, and if they have takten hold upon you the Grace of God will take it out of you. So if the roots of sin have gone deeper, remember that the Grace of God will go down and uproot the roots of sin. He said, "I will take away all thy alloy." , Remember that. Uncle Sam puts one percent copper in all gold money, the copper is alloy. Why? Gold is soft, and must be hardened with alloy. The Lord said, "I will take away all they alloy." ' The Bank of England never receives gold for its face value. The Bank of England always weighs the golcU they have acales so delicate 'that 'jour breath r foair from your head jwill turn the scales, and if it is short. It is tipped to one side, and if it is not. it is tipped to the other side. So

TIGHTWAD HAS HARD TIME TO GET INTO HEAVEN, SAYS BILLY "These are the two pillars of the

' gospel," cried Billy Sunday, Wednesday, clenching his fists and holding them up like two rigid pillars, "Thou j Shalt and Thou Shalt Not." ! Preaching on the "Secret of Failure," Billy declared that God didn't bless persons because they persisted I in their sins. "God is ready to pour i his blessings on you." Taking a shot at literature he de- ! clared, "I wish to God that we had I a revival in books. Why take Conan I Doyle, when he writes detective ! stories he is a peach, but when he talks about the future he Is a fool. No man can see beyond the veil, and tell what there is there. The Bible is our authority for that." uut;nM v. t m l"e in were infje in the religious work of the juiui j-jnij save mi uuiiaiiun ui an old man stroking his long beard, his knees bent, and his voice weak and wavery. "I hope so Brother Sunday, I hope that in my weak way I am serving the Lord." Blaa," sputtered Billy in his natural voice again. "If there Is anything I hate It is, those professing Christians that work behind your back, and deprecate and work against you. They are simply stabbing real work for Chrish right in the back." Letting Go of Coin Over and over again he declared that the Christian who thought first I of his pocketbook, could never be re vived. "When you forget about that, wtfen you loosen up, and get under the load of the cost of this tabernacle, then you will begin to get some of the blesings of revival. "It took us three weeks to raise the f funds In Charleston, when that was . done, and the people got under the load, we had one of the greatest revivals that I have ever had. But they had to forget their pocketbooks. "And then they were willing to stand all of your expense to get the time th2as been aside f?r Jon" wny you win never let a person talk against your political party, without showing your colors, but you will let a man damn and blaspheme your religion and you will say nothing." Rody Is Present The meeting was opened for the first time by Rody and his trombone. Homer Rodeheaver arrived from New York just in time to get ready for his first meeting. "We always do our best when it rains," declared Rody in introduction. "We feel that those who have braved the rain or the storms are worthy of the best we have, when the crowds on good days may deserve only ordinary things." Rodeheaver and Mrs. Asher sang a duet as part of the musical program, and Rody played parts from the Holy City on request. they never accept gold for its face value. Uncle Sam puts one percent copper in all the gold to, .give it hard ness-. I went through" the " United States mint in Denver and they had some 40,000,000 in gold bullion, 20,000,000 of copper stacked up. Now that is alloy, that is dross. The Lord said, "I will take away all thy al loy," all your dross. In other words, God will take out of your heart those things that make you disobey and he will nut in the thines that will make ' you 10 ao, men you win remove tne . hindrance and then the prophecy of Malachi will be fulfilled. Malachi was the last of the Oid Testament prophets, who came before John the Baptist, and Malachi had a promise through God that has not been ful filled yet. Collects All Tithes Without Trouble Malachi said, "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse." All right. If we'd do that, the church membership of this city would have passed this expense fund in one collection. "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse." . "Brits ye all the tithes Into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me - now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it." Well, God Is pouring down a blessing here that staggers me. I have seen great evidences of God's power, but I fall on my knees in humility, my friends, and remove my hat, and it seems to say, "This is holy ground where you are treading." God Almighty is giving you the privilege of witnessing things in the United States that have never been witnessed since the Stars and Stripes have waved over America. And yet, that is only a' part of what uoa Atmignty will do It you will only fulfill his wishes. If there is anything in your life as an individual, get out of ft. We have got to come as individuals. If I could deal with you In mass, and save you by anything, I'd do it, ! but I can't you must come as an individual. Say, "Jesus, we want to thank you for your unspeakable gift and salvation, for the Holy Spirit, for the revelation of Thyself, through Thy word, for giving us minds to un derstand it. , Lord Reserves Some Things for Himself.

Wouldnt a man be a wonderfully honored man if the Spirit were only willing to reveal all the hidden things . to him; but he never will. There are I some things there that are in tho' Council of God, and the Lord reserves them for Himself, not for you to know, as Jesus said to the disciples that times and the seasons that the Lord hath put in His Own Hand. You have been kind enough. Lord, but you have not told the world when Jesus would return to it, nobody knows, -not even the Sun or the angels In heaven, but the Father. We don't know when the history of this world will wind up, and there are some things that God has never revealed to man and he never will until the day of revelation. But the sin that is revealed to us is this, that we are sinners, and that God Almighty tells us: "Him that cometh unto me I shall no wise cast out." Oh, Jesus, you told us all that, and "Come unto me, all ye that laboiand are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." So our party is to serve ' God and then go out and become a

Diessmg, so we can make the world better because we have lived in it And if we have done our part, Lord", we will be forever with thee.
