The text "And He said tomorrow." Exodus 8th chapter, 10th verse. J The text of Rev. W. A. Sunday's tare-well sermon Sunday night follows: For four hundred and thirty years the Jews had been In Egyptian bondage. They had made brick without straw and bared their back to the lash of the taskmasters, and submitted to all the cruelty that powerful and heartless nation could inflict upon those who were their vassals and slaves. Ood had told Joseph that He would lead them out. Generation after generation had been born, matured to manhood and womanhood and then old age, and still God1 had not come,
until I can imagine the people began, to think that God had forgotten. But God's schedule may not harmonize with yours. He may delay his visitation according to your pro- . gram, but God will always be around In fulness of time. And he appeared under the leadership of Moses, and old Pharaoh wouldn't let the people go, and God was competed to send the famous ten plagues as evidence that Moses was the chosen vessel. And it was during these plagues that .the conflict between Moses and Pharaoh took place. It was the plague of frogs. They covered the land everywhere and the springs and wells and' they were in the homes. If you'd walk down the street, you'd step on frogs. Get up in the morning and get out of bed, and you'd crush a frog. Walk down the stairway, and it would be covered with frogs. Sit down at the table, and you'd sit on a frog. Go to drink water, there'd be a frog in it. Go to jab your fork in a dill pickle, and you'd stick it In a frog. Frogs Cover Everything The Bible says frogs were every

relieved of the heaviest burdens, the
burdens of guilt which bear down

future consequences.
Procrastination, Irresolution, Ian-

over the precipice we call "Failure"
and there is where you stand.
Great oportunities always love company. They rarely travel alone. They are gregarious in their habits; they fly in flocks, they swim in schools; they travel in herds. Each opportunity Is a bellwether to a school, a flock or a herd of opportunities. It is like the key log in the river Jam; when that is released, they all sweep on unobstructed to their destination. Years ago a ship was wrecked. The captain and his wife became stranded on an island. They fired the lifeline and then attached to that a larger rope, which the captain fastened under the arms of his wife.

Tou take your stand for Jesus Christ and lead them into the church and If they think as much of you you do of them, you will lead them into the church and heaven.- So you lead the way to God. Let them be the trailers, instead of you. Just reverse the proposition and they will follow you. ' Every friend you might influence is a reason. Every thorn on the brow is a reason. Every tear He ever shed is a reason. Every stone that was ever hurled was a reason. Oh! my friends, If you can get the world as a prize for youd soul, will you take it? Why not yield to Christ and take your stand for him It is up to you. And if you are unsaved when these meetings close it will be your own fault, not God's. And I say that you are a contemptible, idiotic cur, if you will hoggishly and selfishly allow yourself to be in
fluenced and moved to take your stand by the influence of these meetings, t.nd do not acknowledge it now. Do not acknowledge the Influence that brought you to the decision, but wait until it is over and sneak into the church. Do it now because then your influence will help somebody else. "And ye will come unto me that ye might have life." There is not a reason why you should not come. Every year you have to live should be a year In the service of God.

and Mosea said to him: "When shall I entreat the Lord that He take away the plague?" And so Pharaoh, the old fool, answered in the words of the text: "And he said tomorrow." I never thought that argued very much for bis . common sense. He knew thpi-e stood before him the only man la the kingdom that God would hfar, and he knew that God would hear him, and he knew the distress of tho ppryle because of the prevalence of this plague, and yet he said: "Tomorrow." It never argued very much for hi? common sense, and yet I don't think you have a right to condemn him. Many hv: "I wouldn't have done
what he did," and yet you are doing 1
the same thing in a chferent way. God has been calling you to leave your bondage. Instead of obeying, tonight still finds you enslaved by the powers of the devil. The Jew of old so wonderfully reverenced God that they wouldn't dare to step on a piece of parchment, lest the name of the Jehovah would be written on it, and they'd show disrespect for any one who would.

In no time or place have I ever preached where men and women seemed more hungry for the gospel of Jesus Christ and bent their ear more to hear it than here. -And tonight finds you still beyond the pale of God's mercies.

They are the" strong men and women that are coming down to take their stand for Jesus Christ. A young fellow said to a friend of mine, "Do I understand you to mean that religion is a matter of obedience to God?" "I hope you will, for it is." "Then I will come down and take you hand for I believe it is right and I want to do right. I am not coming because of any feeling, but I will come for my reason tells me It is right," Feeling Is not the requirement. Believe! God does not say feel on the

TODAY'S BEST STORY IN BILLY'S SERMON I think one of the greatest preachers was Charles G. Finney. He was preaching in Rochester. He was a clean-cut man, and he was trained for a lawyer. While he was preaching, up on the front seat in the gallery, sat the Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals, and this judgeturned to the man with him and said, "If that man was a lawyer and pleading a case, and if he would back up his statements with evidence like that, I would be compelled to give him the verdict." Finney preached on, and the Chief Justice said: He seems to be an honest man. I claim no man has a right to be an honest man unless he is in the right." Finney preached on. The Chief Justice jumped to his feet, took his coat and hat and wormed his way along the aisle down to the platform. .He pulled the tail of Finney's coat. He said, "If you will call for sinners to take the front seat, I will lead the way." Finney stopped preaching and said, "I am informed by the Chief Justice that if I will make a call for penltants, he will lead the way. I make that call now." ,He did, and nearly every lawyer in Rochester marched down the aisle, and inside of twelve months, one hundred thousand people in that section of the country swept into the kingdom of God. All by influence.

Richmond presented Billy Sunday with $10,718.04 as a result of the fin-
ial collections on Sunday, and the donations received during the week I from persons who did not. expect to
be in Richmond on Sunday. . "Fine, that's dandy, you did great." Sunday said as the total amount was read by Ed Wilson, treasurer of the campaign, who handed a draft for that amount to Mr. Sunday. "I saw more tears tonight, than I

Thanks Local People Thanks for the services of the men and women who had taken part in the campaign, were given before and after the sermon. "If the other people had stood behind the campaign and contributed in the same manner in which the ministers have taken their part, the campaign would have been a georgous success," Rev. E. Howard Brown, pastor of the East Main Street Friends meeting, said in asking for the collection. - - "I have envelopes here showing that 18 different Friends churches outside of the city have had cards sent to them of men and women who cani forward during the campaign," h' said, "and the same number of churches in the other denominations probably have been reached."

this portion of the Bible by different commentators or writers. One man called it the Creed Psalm. He was asked at a meeting similar to this to give hi3 creed, and he arose and repeated this psalm, saying: "That is all the creed I know that is all I need. My mother taught it to me and I have repeated it twice every day since. I don't understand it, and after 30 years I am just beginning to learn the ABC out of which to coin a few words with which to thank God for the blessings that have come to me." - Another man called it a Minstrel Psalm, and as such it has gone and

Yes, and he hasn't gotten three miles from where he started. David wrote this psalm and then sang it as a song: "The Lord is MY Shepherd; I shall not want, "He maketh ME to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth ME beside the still waters."
