HIE BEK: OMAHA. SATriiOAY, (KTOUKU 2.1. 1915. f I I ( i 1 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." "Billy's" Picturo of Heaven Yt CAN H(Tt YOU UfliClO YOUR CONSTITUTION ' SCHOOL X v.WsV AV V Po you see a fellow come down and glv me hla hand. I he the fool or nro I ouT Takes Ortt Maaaaa. Will yn? Not Then you ar a fool. A fool la a fellow that has not decency enough to do It "The fear of mnn brlng eth a snare." Nevertheless, among the chief rulors also many believed on Him, but they did not roa fees Him lest thsy should b put out of th synagogue, for they beloved th glory of men more than the glory of Ood. I tell you this a 0xl-hatlng. a DIM, hating and a Chriat-hatlng world, and It take grit and manhood to llv for Jesua It doea not take any manhood to llv (Contlnuod ofaeevnTCoiumn Four.) "Well. then, give your heart to Jesus. nd tould not get any light, and finally God wanta youto aive that uo. and the he threw down aome- loaded dice, and devil don't, and If you are big enough ': "Now, I can glv you my hand." fool to keep what Ood wants you to give up, which will injure you, you are a aid: "I never heard It put that way before and I am not a fool; I will give you my hand." What you give up Is nothing compared to what you get. , It to not hard to give up tin if you are going to get gold; or glass If you are going to get diamond. No, suppose a fellow is keeping com pany with a girl, and sh was on of those fool kind of girls, on that put on everything and overdid everything, and wore a great big string of beads around her neck and brass earrings with glass Another fellow came forward and strug gled and didn't get any light, and pretty soon h ran hla hands down Into tha pocket of hia pantaloon and pulled out a pink flask of whisky and said: "Now, I can pray." Then, if It Is hard for you to giv up th devil to get Jesu Christ, If you lie-con- a Christian, think Of what you ret Sensible Standpoint. Than look at religion from a sensible standpoint For no good thing will b withheld from them that walk uprightly. Whatevtr may ba your lw about the inspiration of th Bible, If I ever found In them and ahe thought people Imagined , a that was specially written for that they were diamonds and rubies, and' Omaha, it was this on: I i HT Vi .... nf man hHnfAlh annr sho put on all the ribbons and filagree businoss and this young fellow was en gaged to her. No sensible young fellow would get en gaged to a girl Ilk that. But you can't tell what a fellow would do. But sup posing that, for the argument, that he was. He said to her: "Look here, every body is making fun Of you and your old bras Jewelry. Glv It up," "Look here, I lov you, and If any thing Is needed to demonstrate that fact It Is that I have promised to marry you But if it comes to giving up the Jewelry for you, I will Just have to giv you up." fllres Her Real Jewels. But he com back th next night and has a brown leather box, and he pushes' the spring and pulls out a string of real pearls, and saya: "Thow your old dough beads away and I will glv you th real thing." And he takes up a diamond ring and it Is a beautiful one, with a Tiffany set ting, and he says: "You must glv up that old brass ring," and he says, "take those old brass rings off and put these ! solltalrss on." , 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 and brave enough to walk on th side of Jesus Christ and live en th aid of Jo-us Christ and livo for Him, and tot eona old devils her In Omaha laugh at me because I did It than to refuse to do it and tot th devils laugh at me through eternity, because I was not man enough to take a atand. You know that on the first day of April all of the fools In America will try U fool all the other fools In lot of fool ways. An old farmer went Into a bank and drew a wallet of money, and stuffed It down In his pocket, and wa going along looking trp at tha skycrapsrs with hi little bird tall whiskers sticking up. After a while along came some foots out for a blow-out and they saw th pocketbook lying on the sidewalk, and they had picked up some things and had been given tho horse-laugh, and they mere afraid to try It again. ' They stood ther daring each other, when the did farmer steamed up and grabbed tha pocketbook and counted th money and aid: "April fool, you darned fool, you."
