Judgment Stares Every Man In Face; He Cannot Escape Day of Reckoning-Sunday Christians Need Not Fear Death and Eternity Because They Have Prepared for That Event, But Unbelievers and Infidels Should Take Warning, Says Evangelist on Sunday Night Asks for Repentance While There Is Time.

"The Judgment" was the topic on which Rev. W. A. Sunday preached as follows Sunday night: I have a text tonight, a part of which at least every man or woman In this tabernacle believes In. Some one may say, "I do not believe In eternal ' life." Still another may say, "I do not bet lieve In Jesus Christ." And a third may say, "I do not believe In the Bible." I do not care whether you believe that there is a heaven or hell or Christ or God or anything or anybody. "It is appointed unto men once to

die." You believe that much, don't i you, whether you believe in God or not. ; "It is appointed unto men one to die." And if you admit that Is true, you are forced by all logic to admit that the rest of It is true. ' So, you know you have to die, and ; you may also knew that after death ' you will be judged. I "It its appointed unto men once to die, but. after death, the judgment" We are startled at the very announcement of the word, "Judgment." You'd be forever lost, not that you haven't known what to do, but you have known and refused. No man is absolutely indifferent, if I could prove that this is your last week on earth, you wouldn't be concerned whether we could succeed

in business or not. If I could prove this was your last day on earth and that tomorrow afternoon you'd be in the coffin, - I know what you'd do. You'd spend the intervening time getting ready to meet the God that some of you have spurned, and you'd prepare to stand before the God you know you'd have to meet in twenty-four hours. Everything that has happened can happen in the next hour. In the next hour, children will be born, 6,000 people will die, your house may burn, your fortune may be stolen, the train may go into the ditch, an automobile may turn turtle, you may be on the operating table, you may be in heaven or you may be in hell every thing that has happened can happen in the next hour or In the next twenty-four hours. Change Your ;. Way Now What change there'd be In our Jiv

ing if we only believed! They say there is a railroad up In Canada

which hangs red lights on one side, of the track when there Is danger on that side. If you are going in the opposite direction. It shows on the right hand side of the track and means danger, but it depends altogether upon the direction on which

you are going.

It win aepena upon your aimuue toward God. But if your back is turned toward Jesus Christ, I pray from the depths of my soul I may be privileged to say something to arouse you from utter indifference.

We are looking for the best of

goods with you over the border, and every man and woman who passes the boundary of the grave, you've got to be searched to see if you have any contraband goods on you; you can't get in if you have. Mother's Love For Son. Some years ago, a woman whose son in New York 6pent all that she could earn over the wash tub for whiskey she said to him, "Son, I think If the Judge sends you to the Island for a few weeks, you might

sober up and earn a living for me, instead of taking all I earn." So at her request they appeared one morning at Jefferson Park police court, and the judge said, "Stand up and receive your sentence."

The old mother Jumped to her feet

and ran to his side and she said,

"Judge, I can't, I can't, I can't! He is my boy, and I love him with all his sins." and she swooned and fell

dead at his feet At the post mortem the examination revealed the fact that she literally died of a broken heart As dearly as she loved that

Godless, wayward, drunken loafer of!

a bum, she couldn't answer for him in the judgment It is a personal question. Also, I have chosen it for another reason, that it will make you stop and think. I pray God you may hear my text above the tick of the clock. I pray Him you may hear it above the roar of business. I pray you may hear it above the voice of your children. I pray as you walk the streets your steps may echo and resound back the

words of Judgment I pray it way! ring through your ears long after myj voice has ceased its pleadings, long.

after my face has been forgotten, and

I have turned to other parts of the country to hold up the bleeding form of Jesus Christ And I stand with the old Book of God beneath my feet and behind my back as authority and I cry out to every unsaved man, "And after death, the judgment." The most startling question ever asked was, "If a man die, shall he live again?" ' " Next to life, the most universal thing is death dead cities, dead nations, dead republics, dead -ambitions, dead consciences, dead loved ones oh, how short is life! Spencer said, "It seems that all

that a man can do Is to make his mark and then put on his shroud." George Eliot said, "How swiftly the years rush by." Wants a Few Years More. Pope Leo XIII, when he was ninety years old, said, "I feel that I need

If I could prove that this was your last day on earth and that tomorrow afternoon you would be in the coffin, I know what you would do. You'd spend the intervening time getting ready to meet the God that some of you have spurned, and you'd prepare to stand before the God you know you'd have to meet in 24 hours. Nobody else can substitute for you when it comes to standing before God in judgment. . Next to life the most universal thing is death dead cities, dead nations, dead republics, dead ambitions, dead consciences, dead loved ones oh, how short is life. Religion is not a product of emotion. Religion is obedience to a command of God. Don't put religion on a low basis of feeling alone, the feel- , ing is the result of your faith. A man believes to be saved. God holds you responsible for your

will, not your feelings, exercising your

will upon Christ through faith. Infidelity laughs at believing and

applauds dogma. I challenge all the combined forces of unbelief, for their achievements have utterly and eternally failed to bring relief. They have never gladdened one waste spot in the desert of doubt in the world and . lifted any one to a noble life. There are multitudes in hell. They regret the opportunities they let go by. They'd give worlds to have one more, but it isn't theirs. Your conscience is that sense with which you distinguish right from' wrong and white from black. Much of what is called modern doubt is -simply the neglect of fine feeling. Some people spend a lot of dough to have their lives written before they die. Don't waste it. God is writing a better book than you will ever write and when God gets through, it will be no work of fiction. Some plunge into pleasures trying to drown memories. Sin is the bar that prevents sinners from entering the harbor of salvation. God offers you the way of escape

now. God alone has the power of pardon, and that is only through your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Minnesota and I'd say: "Boys, there Is something wrong about me here.' It would be to me and to you an unmistakable evidence of my deplorable condition, and if I had no thoughts, no desire about religion. Great God! I wouldn't sit there and compliment .myself. You are in a horrible state and I'd get up and cry: "No," on my hands and knees. I'd do anything under Heaven that I might create within you a desire to know God and forsake your sins and be right with the Lord!

God holds you responsible for

found In the lodge, he is found in high office, and his influence permeates wherever the devil finds a plape to work, and that is every place that man goes. Factions in our society, that" talk doctrine, who favor and spew forth all of the isims and cisms that have just enough religion to make them float in their damnable designs to doubt the divinity of Christ and the existance of a hell for the damned and a heaven for the saved, are only typical men like the one that hung on the left Of course he scorned the Christ who was close to him. the Christ that could give him salvation, as he gave to the figure on the other cross. He is like some men who could listen to the 6ermons of Jesus himself, who could see him perform miracles, and still not recocnize that he was the

son of God. He was an ingrate. "If thou be Christ, save yourself and us," he cried, and the Bible says he railed on Je6us. He did not have the spirit that asks for forgiveness, or that has faith. Because he was not taken from his misery he railed. The man on the right cross was not as much to blame as the man of today who rejects Christ for he had seen him on that cross for the first time,

and Christ was not so widely known.

But thousands are being lost to hell today because of that little "if that the thief put into his speech. It was that "if" that lost Ingersoll, that lost all of the other doubters. The actions of the man on that cross were typical of the soldiers who mocked and called on Jesus to save himself. "Thou that destroyeth the temple and rebuildeth it In three days, save yourself. If thou be the Son of God

come down from the cross." They lacked the faith. We know that Christ died on the cross for our sins, that his "blood was shed as an atonement for us, but they could not understand that And those people that scorned Christ are just as alive in the world today. We find them all, in the church and out of It Doubting the word of God, calling Jesus Christ a

mortal man, and expecting things of him that it was not proper for him to do. Infidels Are Well Known. You know the doubters, the men who

blaspheme the holy word of God the Infidels who say, "I don't think there is a God." "Why down in their dirty souls they know there Is something which they cannot understand. They know that all of the morals which they boast as the panacea are based upon Christianity, and without it would never exist," declared Mr. Sunday. "And in their black ungrateful hearts they know that they have to thank Christ for all the honesty and the welfare

of man that, permits them to live in security and spit out their blasphemous ideas." -' Next are the sceptics, that are not willing to give God and Christ a chance to demonstrate through their lives that there Is a power in the love of Christ th&t has led men from sin to lives of usefulness, and snatched

them from the burning mouth of hell

Marshal Joffre. who was standing by, said, "Why didn't you tell her you bit them." So we are all looking for the best of it. Distance and time produce about the same effect as distance and space. If I should tell you you'd die within twenty-four hours and could prove it, your attitude toward God wouldn't be the same as It is now. If I'd tell you, "Yonder is a planet hundreds of miles away, and it would take twenty years for it to reach the earth," you wouldn't worry. If I said, "Yonder is a planet and ir won Id strike this world in twenty-

ment. 1 only know you will when you are through with this life. But I am not concerned about it for myself. I have the words of Jesus, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ho that hcareth my words, and believeth on Him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life" Unbelievers Are Doomed. I have the words of Paul, "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walks not after the flesh, but after

Years ago a friend of mine, who worked up in the north and lived in the south, returned to his town, and they said to him. "The old sheriff. Mr. Sackey. is dying. He has never allowed a preacher in his home. Maybe he will let you come." And my friend went and rapped on the door, and when they saw who was there they went in to ask him, and, to their surprise and delight the old infidel sheriff said, "Bring him in." My friend stepped to the bedside

and said to him: "Mr. Sackey, the doctors tell me you are a very sick man and that you haven't long to

live." He looked at my friend a moment. He struggled; raised up and said:

"Well, sir, I have walked into tho

cannons mouth In twenty-six bat-

and skirmishes. I have seen

and faced death in all forms and phases on the battlefield. I am not afraid to meet the enemy, you call death," and he fell back with a look of triumph over his face. Sees His Mistake. My friend bent over him and said: "What about the Judgment, the Bible says. It is appointed unto men once to die,' and you admit that death isn't far away; but what about the judgment after you are through?" The old man looked up and the tears glistened In his eyes and trick-

fled down his cheeks. He said: "I

There is Joy

To Be Saved. A man believes to be saved. Now he feels happy that he did believe. But hear me! If I had no thoughts on religion, I'd be alarmed. If I had no feeling in that arm. or that sid9. or that limb, do you know what I'd do? I'd hire the best doctors in this city and you've got some crackerJacks. If they couldn't do it, I'd wire to Baltimore for my friends Finney and Howard Kelley. If they couldn't help me. I'd rush to my friends In

Bob stood and he drew one ofi those famous word pictures tor t which he was Justly famed. Two young fellows afterwards, going out one said: "Bob cleaned everything up tonight I tell you; he swept the decks clean." "Yes," said the other fellow. "He!

cleaned up everything, but my old ; mother's religion that she taught me; before I ever came to Chicago; he' didn't clean that up. I've got that yet!" Ingersoll went to see Philips I Brooks one time, the greatest Epis-; copallan of Boston. They sat there and talked and a number of Brooks i

TODAY'S BEST STORY IN BILLY'S SERMON Your memory is immortal. Every county has a recorder's office, where papers are made out. If you want to know who owns a piece of property, if there is anything, against it go down to the recorder's office that's the last word. God makes every mind keep its own records. How will he do it except through your memory? Bacon had a marvelous memory. , Bocon says the human intellect never forgets a thing. This is a wonderful statement. . . Sometime in your life all you have ever known will come back to you and ycu will recall it. Kinq Cyrus could call by name 25,000 men in his army. That gave him a wonderful power over men. They say of Horace Greely that he could read column after column of the New York Tribune and then repeat It word for word from memory. They say of Dr. J. M. Buckley, who was for 30 years editor of the New York Christian Advocate, that he could repeat from memory column after column of that paper. Moody said he met a Scotchman m Glasgow that could repeat the Bible from Genesis to Revelations from memory. I saw. a Japanese student in the Armour institute in Chicago that, could repeat from memory the first five books of the Old Testament, Psalms and every book in the ' New Testament word for word. There was a man in Elkhart, Indiana, who worked for the railroad. He could stand on the platform and let a freight train of 50 cars go by and he'd look at the numbers and he'd turn around and put those numbers down accurately and chronologically as the cars went by. Let a train go by at 1C0 miles an hour and he'd stand there and look at them and put these numbers down accurately. -You couldn't repeat

Knights, Mrs. Asher and Mr. Rodeheaver sang "The Old Rugged Cross." Louis Jones of the South Eighth street church offered the opening prayer, while Rev. H. S. James, of the United Brethren, dressed in his regalia as a Knight offered the closing prayer. Dr. R. W. Stoakes, as chairman of the general committee of the campaign, in announcing the collection said that envelopes and checks for the final offering to Mr. Sunday were ready and that those who wished to give their donation this Sunday because they might not be here next Sunday could do so. Every Man Worthy of His Hire. "Every man is worthy of his hire," Rev. Stoakes said, "and Mr. Sunday as the greatest of the evangelists is

worthy of his. "Don't you worry about not being

able to hear me next Sunday," Mr.

.Sunday 6aid, "for if necessary I shall

preach four times so as to accommodate every one that wants to hear me on that day." Speaking on Luke 23:33, "And when they came to the place which is called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left," Rev. Sunday said: The three crosses are typical of humanity in its relation -to the plan of salvation, Mr. Sunday said, the great question is to which class do you

belong? - Two of the crosses represent sinners. On the one side was the man that did not repent, even when he had the chance of salvation within his reach, within the sound of his voice.

What Two Crosses Represent On the other side hung the repentent pinner, who recognized his opportunities, who gave his heart to Christ,

i and who had faith. In the center was

the cross of our greatest Ideal of sacrifice and love. The left hand cross bore the robber who reviled Christ the sarcastic, spewing type of man, who could not see another attempt to be right and just without cursing him, and hating what he had done. That cross represents the elements of society that repudiate and reject Christ. No one knows the name of

the man who hung there, it has never

been recorded where man can find it, but in his story is found the history of that type of man from the beginning of the world unto the end. The left cross hated the middle

.cross with venom. The thief hated

Christ because he stood between him

Chain Lightning Evangelist Rips Coat and Sweating in Every Pore, Describes Day of Reckoning. VERDICT IslESCRIBED Coatless, sweating, and preaching under high pressure, Billy Sunday told an audience of 5,600 at the tabernacle Sunday night there would be one meeting at which everyone In Richmond would attend and stay to the end, and that was the Judgment day. Describing the final Judgment, tho session when . God would Judge the sinners and the saints. Sunday told of his meeting with God. "Well Bill, the bocks say that you have been pretty bad?" said Sunday, telling of the meeting.

"Yes, I was." "It says you got drunk." "Yes, sometimes." "It says you stole corn and watermelons." -,! "Yes." "It tells of lot of things you did that we just won't mention here." Thank you, Lord." . ; It also tells that one day in the Pacific Garden mission that you fell on your knees and give your heart to God, and that you went up and down the

land preaching the word of God. and salvation through the blood - of my own beloved Son." "Yes." "Well, Bill, enter thou the Kingdom of Heaven." "And," said Sunday, "in I will go!" Scathes Infidels Scathing the infidels and those that preach unbelief, telling of the courts on the earth and comparing them with the final judgment, which he declare! was for everyone irrespective of their belief or disbelief in God. Sunday threw himself into his sermon with an abandon anr1 recklessness of energy that astounded. Ending his sermon with a fervent prayer for those who were in the au

dience to come forward and confess their belief in Jesus Christ while the opportunity was still with them, Sunday gave the invitation and 35 persons came down the shavings trail, shook Billy's hand and signed pledges of belief in Jesus Christ. Before the sermon, Mrs. Asher and Mr. Rodeheaver sang one of Bob Matthews's new songs, "There is a Haven of Refuge." -. . .. . Mr. William Asher, husband of Mrs. Virginia Asher, was then called to the platform to be introduced, and received a round of applause. -. The "City Unseen," a duet by Homer Rodeheaver and his brother William Rodeheaver was so strongly applauded that when Mr. Rodeheaver tried to get the choru3 to sing a song the applause of the audience drowned out the piano. . The two brothers had ' to sing" the second verse before the regular program could be continued. Rev. J. J. Rae, in telling the audi-

"You see if I had been a bleared eyed booze fighter. I could not have come out of there," he announced as he reached the pulpit as his hearers applauded. : "Don't be afraid that you will not get to hear tne on the last Sunday," Rev. Billy Sunday said, after Dr. Rae

had returned to his seat by the same way that he had come up. "I have preached as many as five or six times

"I want to know why a prize fighter gets such large wages for just a little time, while a preacher has to work and preach for a full year to get $2,000."- - : - : Dashing across the platform, his fists shaking in the air, with the sweat scattering from his nose and forehead like drops of rain, Sunday leaned over the far corner of the platform, and shouted. "I don't know why, but I'm going to know." "The Love of God is the full tide that take you across the bar," he declared, telling of the sand bars that are to be found in the mouths of somo rivers, keeping only the smallest boats from entering harbor except at high tide.
