In a dlsouaalon of economics and Its

"Crime produces mora poverty than

Final Rejection of Christ is an
Unpardonable Sin, Says Sunday
"Unty" Pundny's sermon on "Tha TTn-
pardnnable filn." preached this afternoon,
follows. Ills text:
Wherefore I say unto you. all man
ner of eln and blasphemy shall he for
given unto men, hut the Maaphemy
against the Holy Ohort. It shall not be
foralvcn unto men.
And wtioooever ennaJteth a wnrd
Slalnst the Hon of Men, It shall he for
given him; but whomsoever speaxeth
xsnlnst the Holy Ohoet, It sail not be
forgiven him. neither In thla woril.
rrlthrr In the world to come. Matt, xll,
I'd like to know where your t'nlver-
sallat gets any ground to stand on there.
I'd believe Ood before I would any old
blatherskite of a Vnlveraallat, you can
bank on that.
I say unto you, all manner of sin and
blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men.
but tha blasphemy against the Holy
Ohoat shall not be forgiven, neither In
this world, neither In tha world to come."
I believe thera were people In the daya
of Jesus that believed future probation.
Neither in this world, neither In tha
world to come." "Whomsoever apeaheth
a word agalnat tha Ron of Man, It shall
be forgiven him. but whoeoever apeaketh
agalnat the Holy Ghost, It shall not be
forgiven him."
I have stretched out My hand; no man
regarded.
But ye have set at naught my coun
sel, and would have none of My re
proof. I will also laugh at your calamity; I
will mock when your fear cometh.
When your fear cometh aa desolation
and your destruction cometh aa a whirl
wind. Then shall they call upon Me. nut i
will not answer; they shall seek Me
eerly, out they shall not find Me.
For they that natea anowienge, sno
did not rhooee the fear of the Iord.
Therefore shall they eat or the rnm
of their own way, and be filled with
thHr own device.
Tha Pharlseea charged jesua wnn Be
ing In league with tha devil. They aald
lo him: "Tou have a devil." They grew
holder In their denunciation and said:
"Why, you ara a devil. Tou ara not tha
Bon of Ood. Tou ara a devil; you do
what you do through Beelsebub, the
prince of devils."
Jesus aald: " How It that so? If what
I do I do through the devil, explain why
It Is I am overthrowing the worka of
the devil. If I am a devil, and if what
do I do through the devil, then I
wouldn't be working to hurt the worka
of the devil.
A house divided against Itself ran
never stand, if I am a devil, and If what
I am doing I am doing because of the
devil In me. then I would not be work
ing to destrov the works of the devil, nut
would be working to destroy the works
of Ood.
From that day forth they dared not
ask htm any questions, for they could
not answer His common sense logic.
81b Ae-alnat the Holy Ghost.
I know there ara varloua opinions held
by men aa to what they believe or think
constitutes the sin against the Holy
Qhoet There ara those who think it
could have been committed only by those
who heard Jesus Christ apeak and aaw
Him In tha flesh.
If that be true, then neither you nor
I am In danger, for neither has ever seen
Jesus In ths flesh.
Another class thinks It has been com
mitted since the days of Jesua, but at
extremely rare Intervals, and still a third
data think they have committed It and
they spend their Ufa In gloom and 'dread
and ara perfectly uaelosa to themselves
or tha community.
And yet I haven't the slightest doubt
but that there ara hundreds hare now
In thla tabernacle that come under tha
head of my message, who ara never
gloomy, never depressed, never down
cast: their conscience la at ease; their
spirits are light and gay; they eat three
meals a day and sleep aa aound aa a
babe at night. Nothing seems to disturb
them; Ufa la all pleasure and song.
If you will do me thla favor, for the
good I might ha to you by your so
doing. If you will lay aside any pre
conceived Ideas or oplnlona which you
may have had or atlll have aa to what
you Imagine,, think or believe constitutes
tha sin agalnat tha Holy Ghoat. or the
unpardonable sin, and If you will listen
to ma (for I have read every sermon I
could ever get my hands upon on tlie
subject, and have listened to every man
I have ever had an opportunity to hear
preach, and have read everything the
Bible haa taught on tha subject).
I do not say that my views on the
subject are Infallible; but I will give yon
the result of what I have wept and
prayed over and what I have read and
studied, and If time will permit and my
strength allow and my patience endure.
I will try to ask and answer a few ques
tions:
What Is ttT Who can oommlt It? Haw
can it show Itself T How may I know f I
have committed It Why will not Ood
forgive T lie tsys He never will.
What tt ta Not mmd Wkavt It is.
It Is not swearing.
If a wearing were the unpardonable aln
lota of men In heaven would have to go
to hell tonight, and there ara multitudes
on earth, on their way to heaven, that
would have to go to hell and I would have
to go with them, because I am standing
here to tell you that you never looked Into
tha face of a man that eoul l swear more
than I could, and I think a man la a dirty-
low-down dog that will cuss.
Ood never had anything but good, kind
thoughts towards you. and for a man to
cuss Ood because He wants tt keep him
out of hell Is tha limit.
It'a not drunkenness.
Thera are muttltudoe In heaven that
have crept and crawled out of the sewers
of Infamy and drunkenness. Roma of ths
brishteet Hunts that ver biased for Ood
have been men that God saved from htlL
It's not adultery.
Jesua aald to tha woman committing
adultery: "Neither do I condemn three;
go and sin no more. '
Out of Mary Magdalene He cast sere a
devils
Thera ara multitudes In heaven tonlrht
that would have to turn for hell If adul
tery were tha unpardonable sin, and thera
ara multltudea on eaith on their way to
heaven who woukl have t stop and turn
to hell.
It'a not murder.
Men's hands have been red mlth blood
and God haa forgives them. The Apostle
Paul'a hands were red with blood.
Rejection of Christ.
To ma It Is plain. It 'a constant and
continual and final rejection if Jesi'S
Christ as your Saviour.
Ood's offer of mercy and salvation
cornea to you, and you eay "Nu" and purh
It aside. I do not know when tha time
takes rlaoe In tha life of an I ml W. dual
when you can aay "No" to God for the
last tune, but I do know tliat thera la
such a thing aa a last call to every man
and to every woman, and wnen a maa ir
a woman says "No" as 3od'e npl'tt atrlves
within you In these daya may forever
seal your doom.
Tou hear ths call; you gj about your
business; go about ths caret of homx,
about tbs requirements aa.l demand of
society, snd Ood will keep on calling sni
you will keep on saying "No" until thera
will come a time In every man's life when
God will call for the laet time.
It Is no special form of aln. It might
be swearing. It might be drunkenness. It
might be adultery or theft.
Any one becomes unpardonable If Ood
keeps on railing on you to forake that
sin and you keep on refusing to forsake
It for the Inst time, and If you don't, then
He will withdraw and let you alone and
that sin will become unpardonable, for
Ood don't ask you again to f'rraki it.
Soma people ara too proud to be Chris
tiana. I know people In Omaha too proud to
walk dewn these aisles and acknowledge
themselves sinners. Ood' spirit keeps
calling on you to stand up before the peo
ple and acknowledge your slna. and you
keep refusing.
Ood will keep on asking, you keep on
saying "No," and Ood will ask you for
the Isst tlma and then let yu a lona.
Ood has been ssklng some of ou men
for ten or fifteen years to give up whisky,
and over every sermon and bette ratura
of your life you keep aaylng "No.",
Ood will ask you for the last time, and
If you say "No." Ood will say; "All tight;
If you think mora of your whisky bottle
than you do of me, take It an 1 go." Ha
will never ask you again.
It may be your adultery. You will keep
refusing and Ood will say: "Very well;
If you think mora of that than Ma and
My salvation, take It and go."
It Is no one glaring act, but the constant
repetition of tha same thing.
I believe there ara men In Omaha who
have Just aa truly sealed their dooms as
If thay were In hell tonight. I believe that
through ervery sermon that s preached. If
It be a true sermon, Ood calls men and
women for tha last tlma, and I believe
Ood la giving some In Omaha, by and
through this revival meeting, the last
opportunity to forsake their sins and ac
cept Jesua Christ aa their Saviour.
I believe If these meetings ctoae and
If you people are atlll outside the pale of
Ood'e mercy, I believe you have forever
sesled your doom.
Trnth Restated Weakens Trath.
By svery known Isw of the mind, con
version must be effected by the Influence
of tha truth on tha mind.
It Is also a known lsw of the mind that
truth resisted loses Its power on the mind
that resists and each resistance weakens
me trutn. Mvary tlma you resist the truth
the next tlma you hear It It loaea Its force
on your mind. And every tlma you hear
a truth and resist tha truth, then you be
come stronger in your power to resist ths
truth.
Wa all know this, that each resistance
strengthens you agalnat the truth. When
a man hears the truth and resists it, the
truth grows weaker and he (rows
stronger.
No matter what sermon ou hear
what evidence you see. a great mans-
men and women and any man or woman
mat can look upon tha movements of
uoa a spirit In Omaha la these days and
steel their hearts aatUnat uod must be
(Ike adamant.
There la no hope that Ood can reach
you If. after a manifestation of His
power such as this, you say "No."
xou haven't had to use your kancU
kerchlefs very muoh since Tvo been
here. I don't picture deathbed scenes;
t try to appeal to your reason, to ahow
you that you ara only reasonable whan
you are righteous, and ara a fool when
you ara not, and the only reasonable
person on earth Is a Christian.
xou never did a more reasonable thins
In, your Ufa than to be a Christian, nor
a mora unreasonable thing than to re
fuse to serve Ood and keep His com
mandments.
Who Cm Commit Thla tint
Who can oommlt HT
I used to think, when I first started to
read and to study, that only a vile man.
only a prostitute, only a libertine, only
tna orrscouring scum of the earth could
commit It.
Whom did Jesus warn? The Phar
isees.
And who were they? The best man.
morally, In Jerusalem.
There la not a man or a woman In
thla audience that could live up te a
higher standard of morality than the
Pharisees attained in tha days of Jesua
Chrlat.
Who can commit It?
Any man or woman that eaya "No" te
Ood'a offer of mercy. Tou may be a
man down In aln, or, like the Pharlseea,
you may ba the best man. morally, in
tha community. Tou may even defend
the Bible, the church, you may even be
my friend; you may even stand on tha
street and apeak well of thla great
campaign: but I say let Jesus try to get
you to walk out publicly before tha
people and you say "No" to every ap
peal, and He will keep on asking you
and there will come a time when He
will ask you for tha last tlma and then
Ha will let you alone. He will pass you
by. Ood pity youl
What Is tha work of the Holy Spirit
To aave your eoulT No, sir. The Holy
Bplrlt hasn't a drop of blood, not a
drop.
The Holy Spirit does not save you;
Ha hasn't a drop of blood. Jesus died
on ins cross ror your ems. ood par
dons you on the i. rounds that you accept
Jesus, but the Holy Spirit convicts you
that you are a sinner and He takes the
sermons, ths messages, tha prayers of tha
people, the memory of your mother, and
calls you to ba a Christian.
The Holy Spirit brings that conviction
now and God keeps bringing the convic
tion and you keep resisting it until ths
tlma will come when tha Spirit will not
coma any mora.
I am looking Inta the faces of men In
this audlcnee who for twenty years
haven't had a conviction of aln. Away
back yonder, twenty years ago, your
wife, your baby, died. Tha same Provi
dence saved your Ufa and you aald you
would. But you haven't yielded to God.
Ood called you and Ha hasn't called you
slnoa. Tou haven't had a conviction of sin.
Bitter Malla-Blty Skews tke Bin.

In tha world Is the Holy Spirit God
spoke to tha people through tha Mosaic
law; He spoke through Jesus Christ and
they killed Jesus. Ha ta speaking today
through tha Holy Spirit. Thla is tha last
dispensation God wUl use te litduca you
to be a Christian.
Who can commit It?
Any maa that says "No" ta Ood'e
offer .
How does It show Itself?
Lota of ways, but really anly tn two,
Because I thing all others are subdi
visions. Listen and I will help you,
rirei; timer maiumny. xatte a maa
or a woman that has alnnad a Bay their

these meetings than they and they will
make you believe It Is what 1 preach or
something like that
No, poor, miserable wretches. Ood'a
spirit has left them and they are to ba
pitied.
Hitter malignity. There Is not a man
against whom they would say harsher
things than they would aralnst me. It
disturbs them to read In the papers that
JS.OM people packed the tabernaclo every
night to hear the gospel. Ood haa called
them and they have aald "No," and they
won't even darken thla place.
I can name some of your moat repu
table rltlsens, financially, who haven't
darkened this tabernacle. Why? Ood a
spirit has left them, that's why. They
sre resisting every attempt on Ood'a part
to keep them out of hell. They are to
be pitied.
How does It show Itself? Bitter ma
lignity. I tier laairfrrenee Bad tke Dea Ik

I hava never said that all unbelievers
ara in agony. Ordinarily a man diej a

die without Ood.
I am one that doesn't so that much on
these so-called death-bed repentances. It
Is, I think, a most mlaerabin, good-for-
nothing, lOW-dOWn. Unmanlv. unwntnanlv
thing for a person to refuse to wnn and
follow godliness In their dsya of health
ana strength, and wait until Ood throws
them on their back and shakes a shmu l
over them, and when tha doctor telle

A friend of mlna was preaching In a
town In Iowa and a maa came to him
one evening at the close and the service
and said:
"I want to talk with you a little while.
Can you give me half an hour? v
"Half an hour? I wouldn't give you
half an hour for $&. It tires ma as much
to talk to people as It does to preach.
Can't you coma and aea ma lnmnm.

The man said: "if I am altva ril ba

(The man looked aa If ha would die) If
I'm alive I'll ba there."
And as tha clock struck W ths next
morning ha rapped on tha door, stepped
In and aald to my friend as ha eat down,
exhausted:
"I hsva come to tell you that I am a
murderer."
My friend aald: "Stop! Don't aay an
other word. I can't alt here and listen
to you and not deliver you to the au
thorities, for I would bo aa accessory
aftsr the fact."
Tha man aald: "I know that r

thought that atl out I am ready to go
on tha scaffold after I tell you. I am
ready to go behind tha bars for Ufa. ri

the whole story, and will do anvthin

Man's Forgiveness for Marderer.
My friend said that with that under
standing he would listen.
The man aald that out In Colorado he
had committed tha murder, told the
name and all the circumstances. My
friend telephoned down to the county
seat and tha sheriff cama up and ha
told him about It. The murderer came
to the meeting that night with the sher
rif and be ore preaching my friend said:
"There la a man la thta audience that
haa a confession to make. I ara going
to ask hire to tell you before J preach."
Ha asked the man ta the platform.
They helped him up, he grabbed hold of
tha pulpit and told his story, and the
audience seemed to shrink from him as
they sat down In the presence of a
murderer.
The. sheriff took him down and put
htm In Jail, then got In communication
with tbe officers In Colorado. They
found that two who would ba witnesses
for the stats had moved away and that
three others had died. At tha end of
two weeks ths officers said:
"We will not bother or molest htm If
ke mads that acknowledgment and wants
to live aa upright Ufa. Let hire go."

All manner of sins. Ood says. He Is
resdy snd willing to forgive. And I tell
you, when that mob nailed Him on the
cross. He would have forgiven them If
they had aaked Him.
Tou can't explain Ood like you can
that two and two make four. Certainly
not.
Tou love your wife snd you love your
children but with your sensibility, not
with cold Intellect.
Religion makes Ita appeal to your sen
sibility, not to your Intellect. That's no
argument against It. Everybody knows
that the older a man or woman becomes
the less and less susceptible they are to
any appeal being made to their sensibil
ities. Everybody knos that
Don't you know this, that seventeen
out of twenty who are converted are con
verted before they ' are JO years old?
Don't you know that nineteen out of
twenty who are converted before they
are 30 years old?
God bless your heart, don't you think
for a minute because there are compara
tively few gray haired men and women
saved, that that's sn argument against
religion. No; that's an argument In Its
favor.
Now, let me ask you something. How
msny people In this audience, who are
professing Christians, Catholic or Protes
tant (and I Include those who have come
forward during the meetings), were con
verted before they were 30 years old?

woman that waa converted before they
were 20 years old sit down.
Every man and woman that was con
verted before they ware W years old sit
down.
All who were ' converted before they
were 40 yeara years old sit down.
All who were converted before they
were W years old sit down.
If you ara here tonight and 10 years
of age and not a Christian, the chances
ara a thousand to one that you never
will ba a Christian.
I'll tell you something. Most people
who are converted are converted In tlmea
of revivals. How many of you men and
women who are professing Christianity
gave your hearts to Ood In revival meet
ings, outside of Just ordinary church
services?
How msny became Christians during
special meetings? Put up your hands.
Atl who gave their hearts to Ood in
times of revivals stand up.
Now thoae who gave their hearts to
Jesus during ordinary church services
stand up.
Now listen! If you are here tonight
and are 40 years of age and you are not
a Christian, the chances are you never
will be
lt you are not converted In times of a
revival the chances are you won't be.
Two-thirds of all people In the church
are converted In times of revival. That's
Ood'a way of doing.
That's no argument against religion.
If you want facta they will stagger you.
Ood is trying Ilia utmost to save people
and yet they are fighting against every
thing Ha brings to them.
Now listen! Why won't Ood forgive
you? He says He never will. ."Neither
In this world, neither In the world to
come." ,
It you would Injure ma and I would say
I would forgive you, you would say that I
had a good spirit I would have.
If God will spare my Ufa after this
week I will leave Omaha and not carry
with me the slightest particle of malice
agalnat anybody In this community.
I preach B hard end furious against
sin aa I know how and I will fight as
hard for Ood and the church as anybody
you aver looked at, but whatever you say
agalnat me, I aay I will forgive you. I
won't carry any malloa away with mo. .
If you would Injure ona of my loved
ones, if you would break up my home, If
you would alienate my wife's affections
and I would say I would forgive you (but
I would have to pray hard to keep from
shooting you, I ara frank to tell you that
right now, ao don't tempt me. I don't
know what I'd do) you would say I had
a good spirit
God says: "Tou can spurn my lore and
trample the blood under your feet but If
you seek my pardon I will forgive yju."
Tou might hava been Indifferent to the
appeala of tha minister, you might hava
been a thief or an adulterer or a blas
phemer or a scoffer and all that, but
God says: "I will forgive you."
Tou might have been Indifferent to fie
teara of your wife and children and
friends, but if you will seek God He will
forgive you.
Tou don't understand all about elec

All right. Tou don't have to understand

I feel In closing this meeting that I am
In a position somewhat analogous to that
of a nurse during the war, at the close
of the battle of Franklin.
A soldier bad his srm shsttered by a
cannon ball and It necessitated amputa
tion. The operation was successfully per
formed snd ths surgeon said to the B iree,
a kind-hearted fellow. "I hops that sol
dier boy pulls through, for he msde a
magnificent fight never a murmur. I
hope that artery doesn't bleed. If the
vein should buret I think I eoull fir that
but not the artery, for he is so weak. I
hope he will pull through."
Presently the wound began to bleed.
The nurse put his thumb on the spot and
sent for the surgeon, who had gone to
rest He came and his practiced eye told
him he could stop It.
He said. "Thst's the vein; I can take
that up. but I hope the artery doesn't
bleed, for I couldn't take that up. If I
am needed send for me."
The surgeon threw himself on a cot to
reat. Pretty soon the stump startel to
bleed again, the nurse pressed Us thumb
on the spot and sent for tha surgeon.
He said: "Stop It, quick."
The nurse kept his thumb on it and
said: "I can't reach It."
The doctor said to the fellow: "When
the nurse removes his thumb, In three
minutes you will be dead."
Wonders If He Has Thamk or Artery
I know he must have felt hlmrelf In
some such position as I feel myself In
tonight It will not be long unUl this
series of meetings will hsve become a
matter of history.
The doctor said to him: "In three min
utes, when the nurse takes his thumb off,
you will ba dead."
I venture I've said to Ood fifty times
sines I've stood on this platform listening
to the song service, "Ood, I wonder If I
will have my thumb on the artery of any
man or woman's soul? I wonder if this
series of meetings will determine where
they will spend their eternity?"
The soldier boy said: 'Don't worry
about me. Put your hand under my pil
low." The nurse did so and pulled out the
Btbla, and the boy said: ";v you rr-e
where the bullet cut the corner? My
mother gave mo that I'm trusting in Its
promises."
The nurse removed his thumn, turned
away, burled his face In his hands and
In a few mlnutea the soldlur boy wan no
more. y
I wonder, I say. If I am standing here
tonight with my thumb on the artery of
your soul?
I wonder If tonight will determine what
you are going to do?
I wonder If thla Is the last eall? I
haven't appealed to your sympathy or
your tears.
I have tried to show the reasonableness
of It I want every man and tvoman in
this tabernacle, whether you are a Chris
tian or not I want every one of you to
say: "I have a desire to Btrve Ood."
Some of you may have been Christiana
for twenty or for fifty yeara Will you
keep on encouraging that desire? If you
have a desire, will you In some way en
courage It?
If you have no desire, it you care noth
ing about It please Just keep your seat;
but if you have a desire, will you encour
age that desire?
I have been a Christian for twenty-nine
years, i sun nave.tne ooire and I en
courage it every day by prayer and read
ing the Bible.
Have you a desire and do you want
to encourage It? If yo'i do, 1 want every
man and woman In this aailence to atand.
But I don't want anybody to bear false
testimony. If you care nothing about it
Just keep your seat If you do care. I
want every one that has a desire to stsnd
to their feet and bow your head with me
In silent prayer.

Does "Billy" Neglect
Those on His Eight?
If you go to the Tabernaclo and can't
get a seat In tho middle section, take one
on the eaat side of the house rather
than on tha west
It has been observed that "BUly" turns
his face lh that direction about nine
tenths of the time. It is a speaking
idlosyncracy and he does it - uncon
sciously. Sometimes ha apparently
neglects the audlenco at hla right for ten
or fifteen minutes at a time, never turn
ing his head In that direction.
