In a dlaouaalon of economic and Ita

Final Rejection of Christ is an
Unpardonable Sin, Says Sunday
"Mly" Pundny'a aermon on "Th Un
pardonable Sin," preached this afternoon,
follow. Ilia text:
Wherefore I any unto you, all man
ner of sin and blasphemy shall he for
given unto men, hut the Waaphemy
eralnst the Holy Ohoot, It ahall not be
foi'Klvi-n unto men.
And whoenever erwaJteth a wvrd
ssalnat the Hon of Wen. It shall be for
given him; wit whomsoever speakrtn
rntnat the Holy (ihoet. It sell not he
fors-lven him, neither In thl world,
relihr In the world to come. Matt, xli,
I'd like to know where your ITnlver-
eallst gets any ground to stand on there.
I'd bellev Ood before I would any old
blathereklt of a Vnlvereallat, you can
bank on that.
"I aay unto you, all manner of Bin and
blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men,
hut th blaophemy against th Holy
Ohoet shall not b forgiven, neither In
this world, neither In th world to come."
I believe there were people In the day
of Jesua that believed future probation.
"Neither In this world, neither In th
world to come." "Whomsoever apeaketh
a word against th Bon of Man, It ahall
be forgiven him, but whosoever apeaketh
against th Holy Ghost. It ahall not b
forgiven him."
I have stretched out My hand; no man
regarded.
Hut 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 wh-n your fear cometh.
When your fear cometh as desolation
and your destruction cometh aa a whirl
wind. . . .
Then ahall they call upon M. nut i
will not answer; they shall seek Me
early, hut they ahall not find Ma.
For they that hated knowledge, ana
did not choose the fear of the Ixird.
Therefore shall they eat of the rnni
of their own way, and be filled with
their own devices.
Th Pharisee charged Jeeua witn Be
ing In league with th devil. They aald
to him: "Tou hava a devil." They grew
holder In their denunciation and aald:
Why, you ar a devil. Tou are not th
Son of Ood. Tou ar a devil; you do
what you do through Beelicbub, the
prlne of devlla."
Jesus said: " How It that so 7 If what
I do I do through the devil, explain why
It Is I am overthrowing th works of
th devil. If I am a devil, and If what
I do I do through tha devil, then I
wouldn't b working to hurt th works
of tha devil.
A house divided against itself can
never eland. 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 destroy the work of the devil, but
would b working to destroy th works
of Uod.
From that day forth they dared not
ask him any questions, for they could
not answer Hla common sense logic.
la Aaalaat tho 111 y Ghost.
I know there ar varloua opinions held
by men as to what they bellev or think
constitutes th sin against th Holy
Ohoet. Ther ar those who think It
could have been committed only by those
who heard Jesua Christ apeak and saw
Him In tha flesh.
If that be true, then neither you nor
I am In danger, for neither haa ever aeen
Jeaue In the flesh.
Another class thlnka It haa been com
mitted since th day of Jesus, but at
extremely rare intervals, and atttl a third
data think they hav committed It and
they spend their life In gloom and 'dread
and are perfeotly useless to themselves
or th community.
And yet I haven't th slightest doubt
but that ther ar hundred her now
In this tabernacle that come under th
head of my message, who ara never
gloomy, never depressed, never down
cast: their confidence la at aae; their
spirits ar light and gay; they eat thre
meal a day and sleep aa sound as a
bab at night. Nothing seem to disturb
them; life la all pleasure and song.
If you will do me this favor, for tha
good I might be to you by your ao
doing. If you will lay aald any pre
conceived Ideas or opinion which you
may have had or still hav aa to what
you Imagine,, think or bellev conatltutea
th aln against th Holy Ohoet, or th
unpardonable sin, and If you will listen
to me (for I hav read every sermon I
could ever get my hand upon on th
subject, and hava listened to every man
I hav ever had an opportunity to hear
preach, and hav read everything the
Ulble haa taught on th subject).
I do not say that my vlewa on th
subject ar Infallible; but I will air yon
th result of what I hav wept and
prayed over and what I hava read and
studied, and If tlm will permit and niy
strength allow and my patlenc endure,
I will try to ask and answer a few ques
tions: What 1 Itt Who can commit itt Haw
can It ahow Itself T How may I know 'f I
hav committed It Why will not Ood
forflveT He aaya He never will.
What It 1 Not and What It I.
It I not swearing.
If swearing war th unpardonable aln
lota of men In heaven would have to go
to hall tonight, and ther ar multitude
on earth, on their way to heaven, that
would hav to go to hell and I would hav
to go with them, because I am standing
her to tell you that you never looked Into
th fac ef a man that eoul l awear mora
than I could, and I think a man la a dirty-low-down
dog that will cuss.
Ood never had anything but good, kind
thougr ta toward you. and for a man to
cuaa Ood becaus H want 1 1 keep him
out of hell la the limit
It'a not drunkennea.
There ara multitude In heaven that
hav crept and crawled out of th aewera
of Infamy and drunkennea. Borne of th
brightest light that tver biased for Ood
hav been men that Ood saved from htlL
It'a not adultery.
Jesus aald to the woman commuting
adultery: "Neither do I condemn thre;
go and aln no more. '
Out of Mary Magdalen II cast seven
devila
Ther ar multitude In heaven tonlrht
that would hav to turn for hell If adul
tery were th unpardonable aln. and ther
are multitudes on eaith on their way to
heaven who would bar t atop and turn
to hell.
It' not murder.
Men's hands hav been red with blooj
and Ood has forg'vea them. Th Apostle
Paul' hands were red with blood.
Hejeetloa of thrlat.
To m It Is j. lain. It 'a constant and
continual and final rejection if Jest a
Christ as your Saviour.
God's offer of mercy and salvation
cornea to you, and you aay "No" and ruth
It aside. I do not know when th tlm
takes rlao In th Ufa of aa mJlv.dual
when you can aay "No" to God for th
last time, but I do know that ther I
such a thing aa a laet call to every man
aud to every woman, and w.-ien a ma a tr
a woman says "No" as 3od'a apt' It strives
within you in these Jays may forever
seal your doom.
Tou hear the call; you J about your
business; go about the carci of honw.
about the requirements anl demand- of
society, and God will keep on calling sal
you will keep on saying "No" until ther
will come a time In every min's life when
God will call for the laet time.
It la no special form of aln. It might
b swearing. It might be drunkenness. It
might be adultery or theft.
Any one becomes unpardonable If Ood
keeps on calling on you to forsake that
sin and you keep on refusing ti forsake
It for the last time, and If you don't, then
He will withdraw and let you alone and
that aln will become unpardonable, for
Ood don't aek you again to lyrraki It.
Bom people ar too proud to be Chris
tiana. I know people In Omaha too proud to
walk down thes aisles and acknowledge
themselves sinners. Ood' spirit keep
calling on you to stand up before th peo
ple and acknowledge your sins, and you
keep refusing.
Ood will keep on asking, you keep on
saying "No," and Ood will ask you for
th last time and then let 79a alone,
Ood has been asking some of ou men
for ten or fifteen years to give up whisky,
and over every sermon and bette- ratur
of your Ufa you keep saying "No.".
Ood will ask you for tha last time, and
If you aay "No." Ood will say; "All tight;
If you think more of your whisky bottl
than you do of me, take It anl 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 M and
My salvation, take It and go."
It Is no one glaring act. but th constant
repetition of th same thing.
I bellev there ar men In Omaha who
have Just aa truly sealed Ihelr doom aa
If they were In hell tonight, t bellev that
through ervery sermon that a preached. If
It be a true sermon, Ood calls men and
women for th last tlm. and I believe
Ood Is giving some In Omaha, by and
through this revival meeting, th lart
opportunity to forsake their sin and ac
cept Jeaua Christ aa their Bavtour.
I believe If the meetings close and
If you people are still outside th pal of
UM mercy, I bellev you hava forever
sealed your doom.
Troth Resisted Weaken, Troth.
By every known law of th mind, con
version must be effected by th tnfl.i-neo
of th truth on th mind.
It Is also a known law of th mind that
truth resisted loses Its power on the mind
that resists and each resistance weakens
th truth. Ervery time you resist tha truth
me next tlm you hear It It lose Its fore
on your mind. And every tlm you hear
a truth and resist th truth, then you be
come stronger In your power to realst tha
truth.
W all know thia. that each resistance
strengthens you against th truth. When
a man hears th truth and resists It, the
truth growa weaker and ha grow
stronger.
No matter what sermon you hear or
what evidence you aee, a great many
men and women and any man or woman
that can look upon the movements of
Ood' spirit in Omaha la then days and
steel their hearts against vod must b
Ilk adamant.
There I no hop that Ood can reach
you If, after a manifestation of Hla
power auch aa this, you aay "No."
Tou haven't had to use your hand
kerchiefs very much since Tv been
her. I don't picture deathbed scenes;
I try to appeal to your reason, to show
jrou that you ar only reasonable when
you ar righteous, and ar a fool when
you ar not, and th only reasonable
person on earth Is a Christian.
You never did a mora reasonabl thing
In your Ufa than to ba a Christian, nor
a more unreasonable thing than to re-
fus to aerv Ood and keep Hla com
mandments. Who Can Commit This glat
Who can commit It T
I used to think, when I first started to

only a prostitute, only a libertine, only

campaign,; but I say let Jesus try to get
you to walk out publicly before th

What la th work of th Holy BplritT
To aava your aoulT No. air, Tha Holy

Th Holy Spirit does not aava you;
He hasn't a drop of blood, Jeaua died
on th cross for your sins. Ood par
dons you on th around that you accept
Jeaua, but th Holy Spirit convicts you
that you ar a sinner ami He take th
sermons, th messagea, th prayers ef th
people, th memory of your mother, and
calls you to be a Christian.
Th Holy Spirit brings that conviction
now and Ood keep bringing th convic
tion and you keep resisting It until th
tiro will com whan th Spirit will not
com any more.
I am looking Inta tb face of men la
this audlcna who for twenty years
haven't had a conviction of aln. Away
back yonder, twenty year ago, your
wife, your baby, died. Th same Provi
dence saved your life and you said you
would. But you haven't yielded to Ood.
Ood called you and He hasn't called you

won't even darken this place.
I ran name some of your most repu

I am on that doesn't go that much on

Is, I think, a most miserable, good-for-nothing,
low-down, unmanly, unwomanly

Veroo Comforted Dying; Girl.
Tears ago In London a girl lay dying
In a houae of Ill-fame and they sent for
a minister to come and talk and pray
with her.
Ha stepped to her bedside and talked
then h prayed. H looked Into her
face, but saw no Indication of dawning
hope. Then he prayed again and In hla
Prayer he quoted Isaiah I. 18: "Though
your sin b aa aoarlet, they shall be aa
whit aa snow."
When he concluded he looked at her
and for th flrat Urn saw indications
of a dawning hope. She smiled faintly
and said: "Waa that In th Bible what
you said about scarlet sins?"
"Yes."
"I'd Ilk to ao It not that I doubt
you. but I think It would help me if I
could look at it.
H opened hla Bible, held It tip and
she looked at It
h aald: "Would you mind praying
again and In your prayer put In that
vers about scarlet sins?"
Th minister dropped on his knee and
eh aald: "Walt Would you mind put
ting my finger on th verse?"
He took hr thin finger and laid It on
Isaiah L 1. put hla hand over her hand
nd prayed, and In his prayer ho quoted
it a ram.
"Coma, now, and let ua reason together,
aalth th Lord. Though your slna be as
scarlet they will be aa whit a snow."
,When h concluded he looked Inta her
fac and ah ami led and aald:
"Thank you; I'm ao gUd Ood aald scar

Supposing you ar here tonight and
guilty of murder. Tou did It perhaps
before you came to Omaha and nobody
here Is any the wiser. Perhaps you did
It back across th so, where you were
born, or In some other state, but your
bands are red with Mood.
Will bod forgive you?
A friend of mtn waa preaching In a
town In Iowa and a maa cam to him
on venlng at tb cloao and the service
and said:
"I want to talk with you a little while.
Can you give me half an hour? s
"Half an hour? I wouldn't give you
half aa hour for IB. It tires mo aa much
to talk to people aa It doea to preach.
Can't you come and see me tomorrow?
I'll give you five minutes tomorrow morn
ing at 19 o'clock."
Th man aald: "If I am allv ril be
ther. I cam to hear you preach eight
day ago. I haven't alnet of tasted food.
(The man looked aa If he would dle.t If
I'm allv ril be there."
And as the clock struck 10 th next
morning he rapped on th door, stepped
tn and said to my friend as he sat down,
exhausted :
"I hav com to tell you that I ara a
murderer."
My friend said: "Stop! Don't say an
other word. I can't alt her and listen
to you and not deliver you to the au
thorities, for I would be an accessory
after th fact."
Th man said: "I know that I'm as
wall posted on law as you, but I hav
thought that all out. I am ready to go
on th scaffold after I tell you. I am
ready to go behind th bar for Ufa. I'd
die If I didn't tell. I want to get right
with Ood and I hav come, to tell you
th whole story, and will do anything
you ask me to do."
Man' Forgrlvoaoaa for Morderer.
My friend aald that with that under
standing he would listen.
Th man said that out In Colorado ha
had committed th murder, told tha
name and all the circumstance. My
friend telephoned down to th county
seat and th sheriff cam up and he
told him about It. Th murderer came
to th meeting that night with th sher
rif and before preaching my friend said:
"Ther I a man In this audience that
haa a confession to make. I am going
to ask htm to' tell you before I preach."
He asked the man to the platform.
They helped him up. he grabbed hold cf
th pulpit and told hi story, and th
audience seemed to shrink from him aa
they sat down In th presence of a
murderer.
Th sheriff took him down and put
him In Jail, then got tn communication
with tb officer la Colorado. They
found that two who would be witnesses
for the state had moved away and that
thre other had died. At tb end of
two week th officers aald:
"W will not bother or molest hlra If
h mad that acknowledgment and wants
to llv aa upright Ufa. Let him go."
I can see you back to that town In the
state of Iowa and that maa la there to-
' day, a biasing light for Jesus Christ and
I a member of the First Methodist church.
At least he waa there up to two year
ago, when a friend of mine was back
there.
God' Appeal to the Heart.
All manner of sins, Ood says. Ha la
ready and willing to forgive. And I tell
you. when that mob palled Him on the
cross. He would hav forgiven them If
they had asked Him.
Tou can't explain Ood Ilk you can
that two and two make four. Certainly
not.
You love your wife and you love your
children but with your sensibility, not
with cold Intellect.
nellglon makes Ita appeal to your aen
illilllty, not to your Intellect. That's no
argument against It. Everybody knows
that the older a man or woman becomes
the lesa and leas susceptible they are to
any appeal being mad to their sensibil
ities. Everybody knows that
Don't you know this, that seventeen
out of twenty who are converted are con
verted before they ' ar 30 year oldT
Don't you know that nineteen out of
twenty who ar converted before they
re K year old?
Ood blcsa your heart, don't you think
for a minute because there ar compara
tively few gray haired men and women
saved, that that's an argument against
religion. No; that's an argument In Its
favor.
Now, let me ask you something. How
many people In this audience, who are
profeaaing Christiana, Catholic or Frotee
tnnt (and I Include those who have come
forward during the meetings), were con
verted before they were 20 year old?
Let m see your hands.
Chance Aaalaat the Maa of Forty.
ICt every Christian man and woman In
this building stand. Every man and
woman that was converted before they
were 20 years old sit down.
Every man and woman that waa con
verted before they were 80 year old alt
down.
All who were converted before they
were 40 yeara years old alt down.
All who were converted before they
were 00 yeara old alt down.
If you are here tonight and 40 years
of age and not a Christian, the chancea
are a thousand to one that you never
will be a Christian.
I'll tell you Bomethlng. Most people
who are converted are converted In tlmea
of revivals. How many of you men and
women who ar professing Christianity
gave your hearts to Ood in revival meet
ings, outside of Just ordinary church
services?
How many became Christians during
special meetings? Put up your hands.
All who gave their hearts to God in
tlmea of revivals atand up.
Now those who gave their hearts to
Jesua during ordinary church services
stand up.
Now listen! If you are bora tonight
and are 40 yeara of age and you are not
a Christian, the chancea ara you never
will be.
If you are not converted In tlmea cf a
revival the chancea are you won't be.
Two-thirds of all people In the church
are converted in tlmea of revival. That's
Ood'a way of doing.
That's no argument agatnat religion.
If you want facta they will stagger you.
Ood la trying His utmost to save people
and yet they are fighting against every
thing He brings to them.
Now listen I Why won't Ood forgive
you? He aaya He never will. ."Neither
In thia world, neither In tha world to
come." .
If you would Injure me and I would aay
I would forgive you, you would say that I
had a good spirit I would have.
If Ood will apare my life after thia
week I will leave Omaha and not cany
with me the slightest particle of malice
against anybody In thia community.
I preach as hard and furious against
aln as I know how and I will fight as
herd for Ood and the church aa anybody
you ever looked at but whatever you say
against m. I say I will forgive you. I
won't carry any malice away with mo. .
If you would Injure one of rr.y loved
ones. If you would break up my home. If
you would alienate my wife' affections
and I would aay I would forgive you (but
I would have to pray hard to keep from
shooting you, I am frank to tell you that
right now, ao don't tempt me. I don't
know fwhat I'd do) you would aay I had
a good spirit
Ood says: "You can apurn my lore and
trample the blood under your feet but If
you aeek my pardon I will forgive yju."
You might have been Indifferent to the
appeala of the minister, you might have
been a thief or an adulterer or a blas
phemer or a scoffer and ail that but
Ood say a: "I will forgive you."
You might hav been Indifferent to tie
tear of your wife and children and
friends, but if you will seek Ood He will
forglv you.
You don't understand all about elec
tricity before you can eend a telegram to
your wife. You don't hav to ender
atand all about electricity before yoa can
turn on the light when y,n go home. Tou
don't have to understand a thing. You
turn the button and ih3 I'tht come.
All right. You don't have to understand
about the Immaculate conception of Jesus
Chrlat Just believe, that'r all God taks
of you.
A Word of Comfort.
I bring you two words In closing. One
a word of comfort.
If you are her tonight and hav a de-
alr to be a Christian, let me congratulate
you. That' an evidence that the Spirit
haa pot left you.
Second, a word of warning. If you' are
here tonight and have a desire It be a
Christian, I beg of you encourage It, for
It may be your last Encourage it
It waa when you were atck, you aald:
Yea. I will If I get well."
It waa when your baby died that ycu
aid: "Yes, Lord. I will,"
It waa when your wife waa alck that

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 had his arm shattered by a
cannon ball and It necessitated amputa
tion. The operation was successfully per
formed and the surgeon said to the n irse,
a kind-hearted fellow, "I hope that sol
dier boy pulls through, for he mad a
magnificent fight never a murmur. I
hope that artery doenn't bleed. If the
vein ahould buret I think I eoul l flic that
but not the artery, for he la ao weak. 1
hope he will pull through."
Presently the wound began to bleed.
The nurse put hi thumb on the spot and
sent for the surgeon, who had gone to
rest He came and his practiced eye told
him he could atop It.
He aald, "That'a the vein; 1 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 aurgeon threw himself on a cot to
real. Pretty soon the stump started to
bleed again, the nurse pressed Ms thumb
on the a pot and aent for the aurgeon.
He aald: "Stop It quick."
The nurse kept hla thumb on It and
aald: "I can't reach It."
The doctor aald to the fellow: "When
the nurse remove hla thumb. In three
mlnutia you will be dead."
Wonder If He Haa Thanh or Artery
I know ie must have felt himself In
some such position aa 1 feel myself In
tonight It will not be long until this
series of meeting will have become a
matter of history.
The doctor said to him: "In three min
utes, when tho nurse take his thumb off.
you will be dead."
I venture I've said to Ood fifty tlmea
since I've atood on thia platform listening
to the aong service, "Ood, I wender If I
will have my thumb on the artery of any
man or woman'a soul? I wonder If thia
scries of meetings will determine where
they will spend their eternly?"
The soldier boy aald: "Don't worry
about me. Put your hand under my pil
low." The nurse did so and pulled oJt the
Bible, and th boy said: ";V you rre
where the bullet cut the corner? My
mother gave me that I'm trusting la Its
promises."
The nurse removed hla thumh, turned
away, burled hla face in his handa and
In a few minutes th aoldiur boy wm no
more.
I wonder. I say. If I am standing here
tonight with my thumb on tha artery of
your aoul?
I wonder If tonight will determine, what
you are going to do?
I wonder if thia la the last call? I
haven't appealed to your avmpathy or
your tears.
I have tried to show the reasonableness
of It I want every man and woman In
this tabernacle, whether you are a Chris
tian or not I want every one of you to
aay: "I have a desire to ac.rve Ood."
Some of you may have been Christiana
for twenty or for fifty yeara Will ycu
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 denlre?
I have been a Christian for twenty-nine
yeara. I atlll have, the oovire 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 you do, I want every
man and woman In thlj a silence to aland.
But I don't want anybody to boar false
testimony. If you care nothing about It
Just keep your seat If you do care. I
want every one that bas a desire to atand
to their feet and bow your head with me
in allent prayer.

Does "Billy" Neglect
Those on His Eight?
If yon go to the Tabernacle and can't
get a seat In the middle section, take one
on the east aide of the house rather
than on the west
It haa been observed that "Billy" turns
hi face in that direction about nine
tenths of the time. It la a speaking
idlosyncracy and he does it uncon
sciously. Sometime he apparently
neglect th audience at hla right for ten
or fifteen minute at a tlm, never turn
ing hla head in that direction.
