LIFE OF CHRISTIANS IS PROOF OF POWER OF REDEEMER TO SAVE AND EXALT, SAYS SUNDAY IN APPEAL TO ACCEPT MESSAGE

The Text: "Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord of hosts." (Isaiah, 43rd chapter, 10th verse). In his sermon Thursday afternoon, Rev. Sunday said: Jesus Christ has staked his cause upon the character and the uterances and the lives of his followers. But the world wants a religion of deeds rather than words. Talk's cheap! And when he wanted to leave the world, he wanted to leave behind him words they would remember and precepts they would propagate and spread broadcast throughout the world.

His claims to be the Son of God are to be witnessed to by those that have experienced the saving power through faith in his shed blood. In Isaiah, in my text, God issues a challenge to the world. He said: "You bring forth your witnesses and you let them tell what you are doing. I will bring forth mine and I will let Ihem tell what I am doing, and upon their testimony I am perfectly willing whether the Lord shall be God or the devil." And that a wonderful confidence that God places in it. He says: '"If it's better to be drunk than sober,

we want to Know it. "If we are better because we are vile than pure, let's know it." "If a man is better because he's a thief than honest, let's know it." "If a man who goes home and cusses and beats his wife up is beter than the one that goes home and kisses her, let's know it." , "Bring forth your witnesses and let them tell what they are doing and I

will bring forth mine and I win let

pathy with the Y. M. C. A. and other movements that are spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ, so not only, my friends, did they overthrow and banish vodka, but they opened the doors so that the Christian religion can be

preached. 1 Many Are Christians Another thing, the secretary of the Republic of China is a Christian; the treasurer is a Christian, many leading

offcials are Christians, and the next man who will be president was a graduate of Yale college, and the doors of China are thrown open to Christianity, for the reigning heads today are sympathetic with it. This old world Is on the very verge of the greatest change?, politically, morally, religiously, since Jesus Christ hung on the cross. You ought to be thankful that you are alive, you ought to be thankful that God is giving you the opportunity here

in this city to do something by your influence to help re-write the history

of America. (There never has been a time in the history of Christianity, my friends, when the great cities opened their minds and hearts so toward God. They had an idea that the gospel' was a good thing for the rural community and all that but that they were immune in big cities. I am glad that movements like this let the man in the country know that you are common folks whether you live in a palace, or in a dugout or a log cabin on the

mountain sides of Tennessee. The eyes

They give me a stomach ache and I want a soda mint to settle my stomach when they talk about moral effect. , , ' ' '. - Some people thing that nothing is to be Relieved unless they can understand it.

Christ. Christians, if you are not right in your experience you are wrong in your life. Some of you old sinners have held out so long and you haven't any hair on your heads between you and hell now. You've held out against the tears of your mothers, the pleadings of your wives, the piayers of your children, against the prayers of your preachers. ,If the Bible is a dull, dead book to you, if you haven't God's peace and joy. you ai e wrong in your life. If you'd fulfill the conditions you'd have the results. You will beget In the hearts and

lives of others, feelings that are anal

ogous to those that possess you. That

is why we quarantine scarlet fever. A lot of you fellers are afraid to d God's will because you know it will make you decent and you don't want to be decent. I don't give a rap how skeptical you are, you are complelled to believe on the authority of others or cease to live. There are no activities in life apart from your will.

TODAY'S BEST STORY IN BILLY'S SERMON If an infidel is going to build a universe you've got to give him a little star dust to knock off. Where did the first hen come from? And where did the first egg come from. First hen, first egg. No man knows so much but that some men know all you know and more than you know. , Not at all. So, there is my watch. I don't know anything about it. If I break it I can't fix it. I can take it down to the jeweler's and they can fix it. If I'd try to fix it and take the wheels out of it, I'd have wheels enough to make 10 or more watches out of it. All human machinery can be understood. Some fellow made it. If you can't understand it, he can. Don't say ho did not know because you didn't have brains enough to know. He willed to do it. To try to solve the creation and at the same time deny the Creator, you are as big a fool as the fellow who will try to explain a locomotive and deny steam. Try and explain these electric lights and deny electricity. The light explains the electricity and the electricity explains the light. When you try and explain the creation and deny the Creator you are a fool. When you try to explain creation and deny Jesus Christ, you can't do it. He explains salvation and salvation explains Jesus Christ. You can't get around it, no matter who you are. Skeptics oh, they don't believe. They didn't believe in the telephone and all that sort of thing. They did not know enough about it. They won't will. Then if you do that it will remove the stumb

ling block.

of God will be yours. Oh, an idolatorous king in other days committed adultery, and he cried unto the Lord, and the Lord said, he'd forgive his transgressions, though his sins were as scarlet they'd be white as snow! "Oh," an idolatorous woman cried, "God be merciful to me, a sinner," and Jesus sent back the answer, "Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more." A prodigal son 'out in the hog pen among the squealing bogs cried. "God

b? merciful to me a sinner," and back came the answer, . "Bring forth the best robe and put It. on him. and put a ring on his hand, and I will, bless him." Oh, a dying thief on the cross cried. "God, be merciful to me, a sinner." and back came the answer from heaven, "This day shalt thou be with me in Paradise." - And so, wherever, you cry unto the Lord, he will hear you. God hates sin, but he's got a pardon waiting for it, and it's up to you as to whether you get it or not. So you do your part and the blessing will be yours. There is a power in the man or woman who abhors sin hates it. The ashes, my friends, of the martyrs is the seed of the church. Those who resist sin have a great might and a blessing.

John Yasser during the last years

of his life, was an inveterate sufferer. He never knew what it was to be free from pain unless under the in-

! fluence of an opiate, and he'd walk

the floor and he'd fall prone upon the lounge and groan, while beads of perspiration would burst from his brow, and then he'd smile through his grief and wring his hands and say, "Thank God, how much better it is to suffer than to sin." Let that be your motto die before you do anything that would disgrace God. A brave man is the man who

Now a friend of mine passed by a beautiful Gothic church up in New England where the trees arched above the streets. There were stained glass windows from Tiffany's, and the entrance to the church was an archwav. and over it were the words, "Gateway to heaven." and he stepped inside and

They came to wThere a mudpuddle stretched from fence to fence, and you know hogs have an affinity for mud, and the sheep have a repulsion for it. and when the hogs caught sight of the mud thev bursted every attempted

Oh, the world can tell whether you are a hog or a sheep! The world can tell whether you are led by the flesh or by the spirit! Not as many as have been baptized or immersed. Not as many as know the catechism, long and short. Not as many as know the ?-9 articles of confession.

You know the famous French musician said. "There was a time in my life when I spoke only of myself. When I grew older I said, 'I and Mozart ' As I grew older I said "Mozart and I.' Now in my old age, I uncover my head and bow and say, 'Only Mozart'." Oh. the bitter pain and sorrow That a time could ever be Yv'hen I proudly said to Jesus: "All of se'.f and none of thee."
