TODAY'S BEST STORY
IN BILLY'S SERMON A friend of mine was preaching in a town and he stepped up to a man who was an engineer of one of the Overland trains and he said, "Are you a Christian?" He said, "No." He said, "Why don't you give your heart to Christ?" He said, "I have to take my train out tonight." He said, "How much time have you got?" He said, "I have to leave here In ten minutes, I pull the Overland limited." "Well," he said, '"You don't need ten minutes to get right with God." He said, "Do you mean to tell me It doesn't take that long?" He said, "Come on with me." He came. up and got down on his
knees and he said, "Pray: Jesus.
accept you as my savior." He prayed and wrote down his name and pulled out his watch, and said, "1 have got seven minutes left." Some of you come in here grayhaired. Do you mean to tell me it takes you fifty or sixty years to find Jesus. No, you find Jesus in ten seconds! It is wonderful the Savior can save so quickly in the world. This wonderful Savior ha3 saved me, , otherwise I wouldn't stand and tell you.

heard him. His life was wonderful in its sinlessness, and usefulness and unselfish

He inherited the nature of God and of,
man. He came to be the prince of Princes and the King of Kings, and yet His birth was not looked forward to with the glad expectation as is the case when a child is to be born in a royal household. There was no room for Him in the inn, so He was cradled in the manger, sad yet the angels proclaimed His birth with joy, and the humble shepherds as they watched their flocks, heard the angels sing "glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward man." That is how much interest heaven took in a birth in a manger. Comes In Humble 'Manner. Mark how He might have come. He mieht have come with all the Domp

no graver cnarges against miu man that he claimed God was His father. He let sinful women come close enough to touch Him, and He would do good on the Sabbath day. If anybody was in distress it made no difference to Jesus Christ whether it was Thursday or Sabbath, He'd help them just the same.

me," and Jesus stopped to neip mm. Never did He seek for His own, but He lived for others that He might alleviate their misery and suffering. The first miracle that He performed was not before a gaping, wondering crowd to satisfy their curiosity, but to save a peasant's wife from humiliation when at the wedding feast He turned the water into wine. He had compassion on the multitudes but none on Himself. He wept for
i Jerusalem but not for Himself. That
is the Jesus Christ, "His name shall be called Wonderful." - Let's see if anything that He did justifies the prophet in saying 200 years before His mother gave Him birth in the manger, "His name shall be called Wonderful." His Teachings Were Wonderful. And his teaching was wonderful. The way He taught was wonderful.

Teaches Wonderful Lesson His teaching was wonderful, and the way He taught was wonderful, and what He taught was wonderful. He taught that He was greater than Moses. Imagine the audacity of a man standing before a crowd of Jews and saying, "I am greater than Moses." Imagine the audacity of a man standing before a crowd of Americans and saying, "I am greater than George Washington!" How long would we stand for that? That is what Jesus dfd. He said, "I' am greater than Moses" or "I am the one that Moses was talking about." What He taught was wonderful and the way He taught it was wonderful. He said. "I fulfill the law of Moses. I am fulfilling all of that. Here I am, the One." Now, then, He made no proof, no effort to prove His claims. He said, "I am the Son of God." They said, "We do not believe it," and all He did was to point to His works.
That is all the evidence I need. You needn't present anything more to me. That is proof that He was the Son of God to me all through. "His name shall be called Wonderful." Teaches Equality With God He taught that He was equal with God. He said, "I am equal with God,
I do these things because I am His
only begotten Son. Come unto me and I will give you rest." I can't give you. rest, but Jesu3 said, "You can come to me and I will give you rest. I have power on earth to forgive sins." There is no man or woman on earth that has power to forgive sins. We can tell people about God and God can forgive sins," but no man on earth can forgive sins. It is an infamous and damnable slander! Nobody on earth can do it; but God alone can do it. I can urge you to repent and turn to God, but I can't forgive you. He said, "I am come that they might have life." He said, "I am the resurrection and the life."

HAGERSTOWNPRESENT Enthusiasm and delegations greeted Billy Sunday Tuesday night when West Siders with an attendance of 1,000, and seven other special delegations filled the tabernacle to overflowing, with an attendance of 5,500. The W. C. T. U., with canes deco
rated with white ribbons, and the delegation from Hagerstown with its band created the most excitement, while the Men's and Women's Bible classes from the First Christian, church and the W. C. T. U. sang specialsongs, written for the occasion. The Epworth League of the First Methodist church, , through - Max Stoakes, son of the pastor of the church, furnished the gifts of the evening. A huge' box, tied with ribbons, containing a gift for each member of the Sunday party, was given to Mr. Sunday to untie, and the gifts were distributed immediately.

He just pointed to His works. They said, "We don't believe you are the Son of God." He said, "There was a fellow who was blind; he has good eyes now." They said, "We don't believe you are the Son of God." He said, "That fellow was lame; he Is walking now." That is all He djd. He never argued with them a min

And it was wonderful that He should be betrayed by one of His trusted disciples; wonderful that $15.92 in silver money, wonderful that they'd sell the Son of God so cheap; wonderful that He was condemned to death by the religious and civil power. Two Powers Condemned Rome represented the civil power, the Jews represented the religious power; and those two powers combined to condemn Him to death. Wonderful that He was condemned by false and lying witnesses. There is many a man who goes into an electric chair that was put there by a lot of dirty liars. If they let out all the fellows that are there on . false testimony, half of them would get out. It was wonderful that He should be tormented and tortured so cruelly before He was crucified.
