It is Beneath the Dignity of No
Man to Take His Stand for Christ
Th tlU which the nov. William A. us tursnr ef tlf. Tou don't kaow but
Sunday cave to his irrmon Int venln,
t the tabernacle win "Fcues." The
sermon wit an arraignment of men and
women who matt xcuses for not ac
centing Christ and refutation of their
arguments. Mr. Sunday nald:
John v, 40: "And ye will not come to
Ma that ye might have life."
I think of all the words that ever fell ,
from the Up of Jesue of which we have
record, to my mind these are among the
aaddeat.
Ood came to you and offered salvation,
and you spurned it; and after you have
run tha earthly career and gone Into the
grava. then you will Just think over your
Ufa and remember the thing that kept
you from taking your at and for Christ,
and you wilt think what a fool you wore
to do It
Nobody la lot because ha naeda to be
lost, because the salvation of Jesua Christ
cover all tha sins of all the people. He
tasted death for avary man.
Man to not lost because of any pur
pose or decree on the part of Ood.
We all deserve hell If we get our just
deserts, for salvation does not come as
a reward for merit. Everybody la weak.
but God's strength Is made perfect In
weakness. Don't look at your weakness,
but at tha Saviour that you have. Well,
then, why don't you come to ChristT
Kept Away from ln.
Well. I hope tonight, with tha help of
Ood, to answer a few fool excuses peo
ple offer. I don't know whether Ood
Himself would answer them all or would
try, but I will try to answer a few of
them.
In tha first place, because of sin. Bin
has kept multitudes away from Christ.
Moody preached one night and pictured
ain in all Us black repuislveness, and
when he gave the Invitation a man lifted
his hand, and a worker went and talked
with him and aajd:
"Will you give Mr. Moody your handT"
"No. I won't. I'm held in the meshes
of an awful sin, and as a result of In
dulgence In it, I make money out of It,
and to take Mr. Moody by tha hand
means that I would have to give It up,
and I won't do it."
And he turned his back on Jesus. Bin
is keeping many a man from Jesua Christ.
With others It is the love of money,
Many know that if they become Chris
tians they would lose money by the deal,
and there are certain thing In your busi
ness that you would have to give up If
you became a Christian and took your
stand for Jesus Christ
Many a man will not aacrlfice the
crooked business or the crooked price of
an honest business.
There Is many a man chooses a larger
Income and turns Jesus Christ down,
Many a man would have to give up his
situation
Suppose that you get $1,000 a year and
live for twenty years, that would be
(20,000, and you would sell your soul to the
devil for $30,000.
If I should tell you you are not worth
that you would be offended, yet you cell
your soul for less than that.
That la what Is tha matter with the
whisky business. I know of brewery em
ployes that have taken their stand for
Jesus Chrlet, and they have gone back
to work only to ba discharged because
they choae to ba decent. Better men In
the town have given them jobs that are
paying them far better salaries.
Baaiaeas Dishonesty.
I will tell you:" I would rather walk to
heaven over a rough and stony road with
bare and bleeding feet than to ride to
bell on dirty money.
Say, God will damn in the hottest way
any merchant that will make his clerks
He to sell a few dirty goods from hia
shelves, in order to put money in his till.
He will damn you, wherever you are.
Thera is many a man grown rich by
over-reaching his neighbor. He robs the
widow and tha orphan. He does it by
legal means, he Is too sleek to get caught
in tha meshes of the law. He Uvea In a
magnificent home, and he rolls down the
street In a faultless equipage, and aome
old fellow with a child stands on the
atreet and says:
"Thera goes Mr. So-and-Sol And his
ham la known and honored, and It'a only
necessary to attach hla name to any
project lo insure success, i wian yuu iu j
that you are listening to your funeral ser
mnn tonight.
Vanderbllt was talking with Garret, the
vice president ef the Baltimore St Ohio,
about the Investment of H10,W0,(f9. when
he fell dead. All that he had could not
give htm the naaurance of sitting there
and flntuhlng that huslnera transaction.
The world ran glva you no hop. The
love of money la keeping men away from
Jt sus. I don't believe that any man ever
lost by being decent. If I was In busi-
nea snd could not serve God In It, I
would get out of It. Nobody ever lost by
being decent and by being a man-nobody
on God' dirt.
Again somebody says: "I would, but I
want to naive a good time."
well, so do I. God bless your heart.
you never looked Into anybody's face who
had a better time than I do.
But I don't hav to fill myself with
boose and go down the street whooping
use a itimancne Indian or a maniac.
What do you think constitutes a good
timet
Some little fool thing you have be
tween you and God. Will you put it be
neath your feet and b a man, or go
through the world and be a fool? Ood
doe not ask you to glv up things save
those that do you harm, for the Lord
God la a sun and a shield to those who
put their strength In Him.
I stepped up to a young girl on tlm
and said: "Ar you a Christian T" "No."
"Do you believe that you ar a sinner?'
"Do you believe that Jesua died to save
you?" "tea." "Why don't you be a
Christian?" "Well. I win have to give
up so much." "What?" "Welt. I don't
Ilk to tell you." "I can guess in five
guesses. First, you dance." "Guilty!"
Uoeaaed It First Time.
Ouesaed It the first time and I have
four guesses left.
I can tie the average girl up in one of
five thing.
I said: "I.ook here, do you believe that
God loves you?" "Tes. He loved me
well enough to give Jesus Christ to save
me." "Do you believe that God wants
to keep from you anything for your
good?" "No." "Are you big enough fool
to want to keep anything for your In
jury?" "Why, no."

Nevertheless, among the chief rulors

What you give up Is nothing compared

glass If you are going to get diamond.
No, suppose a fellow is keeping com

But he com back th next night and

And he takes up a diamond ring and
it Is a beautiful one, with a Tiffany set

those old brass rings off and put these

Would it b hard for her to glv up
And when th Invitation ia given, mul
titudes know that they ought . to be
Christians, but they get cold feet right
there, and alt glued to th seat, and all
heaven could not Induce them to take
a stand for Jesus. They aro afraid that
somebody will laugh. They are afraid
that some member of th lodg would
laugh at them, or that some old whisky
soak will glv you the horse-laugh.
Bay, t had rather be brave and decent
