Mothers Do Hard Work. There is the hard-working mother. She works her heart out trying to cook attractive meals and food prices roaring as if they were tied to the tails of a kite. And perhaps the daughter goes wrong because the mother was so busy she did not have time to give her attention.
Then there is the ill-tempered, fault-finding mother. Slaps, whacks, yells and breeds ill temper. Oh! the daughter in such a home is exposed to

vid was a man after God's own heart. I am frank to tell you that I haven't very much respect for the choice of God." David's Sin Was Hagrant. I said to him, "David was not a man after God's heart, simply because he sinned; but David was a man after God's heart because when he sinned he was decent and man enough to tell God that he had sinned, and if you want to become a man after God's heart get down on your knees and tell God you are an old hell-bound sinner and you are

and then you will never land in perdition. David's Idleness Cause of Trouble.
David was living in the midst of
ease and luxury and do you know in one little corner of his kingdom he had a little case of insubordination, an incipient sort of a rebellion, and
instead of going down there to put down the insurrection he delegated that to Joab. David stayed at home and he was talking of walking on the housetops in the cool of the evening.
They built the houses close together;

come a man after God s heart, u you are man enough to tell God that you are an old sinner and that you want to square with him. And that is why David was a man after God's heart, not because he sinned, but when he
sinned he was man enough to ten ooa he was a sinner and so you will become a man after God's heart when you do that." . Now it was a great sin for David. I think it was a worse sia for David than it might have been for any other man in the world. God looks at r: man's surroundings. He takes into account your opportunities and If you have opportunities, and you have one tonight, that would condemn you. It is your business to know what God wants you to do. God takes into account the chances men have.. There is a church bell ringing, there is a
church near you, some of you haven't darkened the door. There is your opportunity, but you won't Improve it. Don't blame God. God has given you a mind of intelligence. He has revealed His word to us In His book, the Bible, and He has given the revelation within the capacity of our minds to understand it, and God holds us upon it. If God had revealed and told us to do something that He could not do. and told us to do it, and damned us when we could not, that would not be reasonable. But when God tells me to do so through His book. He will damn
me if I don't do it. So the Lord gives every man in this world a chance. He Is gifted by

den idea. And we gild the dome of our temples. The first dome that was gilded with gold was Solomon's temple. There is where we got the idea. We think we are great. Old Solomon did that way back yonder. See? So David was walking on the housetops in the cool of the evening and he saw a woman famed for her symmetry of form and beauty of face, Bathsheba. And there came to David a shot of sin. Thought Comes First.
No man or woman ever sinned that didn't first think the sin. No man ever reached out his hand to steal
that the thief in him didn't steal first No man ever used his lips to
lie that he didn't lie in his mind and your sins will find you out.'
And yet that hussy had the au
dacity to say she was a follower of Jesus Christ. She was so close to hell that she could look into it. "Whosoever is born of God believeth that Jesus is the Christ." "You believe that He is the Son of God and that your salvation is through faith in Him." "Whosoever is born of God be lieveth that Jesus is the Christ." "Who is a liar but he that denleth that Jesus is the Christ." Nobody is born of God who denies
mat Jesus Christ was the Son of God. They are not born of God; they
can t De. There is no Christianity outside of Jesus Christ. There are lots of peo,ple who live good lives that don't believe in the
Son or God. but they are not Christians, and the reason they live a decent life Is because of the restraining influence of Christianity. There is no Christianity outside of Christ
