Look to Yourselves that You
Receive Full Reward from Jesus
"Billy' Punday preached Sunday on "A
Full Reward" as follows:
A great many people suppose that
after they have accepted Jesus Christ
as their Savior, made a public acknowl
edgment of Him as such and Joined a
church, that that Is all there Is to a
Christian life. Well, there Is something
more, that cornea by way of experience.
I am one of the kind that believes that
there are consistent and Increasing bless-

to think of the remuneration. You be

the railroad or In the public school that
you will fee paid your wages, therefore 1
you have faith to believe, and God aays,
"Now, I will reward you." 80 remem

promises Is faithful.
Look to Yoorselres.
"Look to yourself that we receive a

A friend of mine told me that he ac
cepted the pastorate of a church, and
when he preached his first sermon down
the aisle came an eld man, hobbling on a
crutch, and he aald, "I am afraid you
are going to make a failure out of this.
You're the first young man that has ever
been pastor here." (They thought that
success, was synonomous with gray hairs
and decrepitude and that youth and fail
ure were inseparably connected.) "But,"
he said. I listened to you and I'm going
I to help you." The pastor thought, ' Poor
old soul, what can vou do -to heln m.-
He said, "Four men c.tme to my home
and on our knees we promised God and
signed a pledge that every day you are
faster of our church we are going to priy
for you." And my friend aald It was the
first word of encouragement he had re
ceived. But he saw the four grow to ten.
then Jump to twenty-five, then to fifty,
then to 100, then to 200, S0J and 400. and
many a Sunday morning before he would
go Into the pulpit he would be ln the
church parlors with 400 men and on their
knees they would pray, "Bless our minis
ter, will you? Make him a soul-winner.

eousness. and he said that as he woulc
would
preach he knew there were 400 men that
would die for him and for Jesus Christ,
and while he was pastor of the church
over 1,200 pressed their way to the king
dom and over half of them were men.
Btrlkrs at the (runiblers.
I don't kaow what the power of the
ministers who have served In Omaha haa
been. I don't know what the power of
the men you have here now Is, but there
never was a man, there Isn't any now
and there never will be a man who will
serve you as pastor, but that that man's
power for Jesus Christ will be multiplied
if he only has a prayer behind him. But
a lot of you will go to church and ait
there and grumble and growl and go
home and pick the preacher and hla ser
mon as dry as you do the chicken on the
rlatter for your Sunday dinner and then
wonder why your church doesn't grow. I
wonder why it doesn't sink Into hell, with
a prayerless, beer-drlnkinir, dancing, card
playlng crowd like many of them have.
Sat Prenrhtngr for Money.
Oh, I can tell you of church members
that haven't come to this tabernacle ln
seven weeks, whS haven't lifted a little
finger or sweat one drop to bring old
Omaha to Its knees. Then whit right
have they to claim anything from Ood?
What right have you to walk up and In
sult God by tilling Him you are His child
when you have done all you can to pre
vent the success of these meetings? GoJ
pity such miserable people! It any of
them are here and have given me any
money, come up and I'll givo It back if
you want It. You can't charge me with
preaching for your mcney. If I was
working for some f Tow's pocketbook I
wouldn't throw as many rocks or thlr-teen-lnch
shells aa I do.
Why lh Tabernacle.
Paul says: "This one thing I do." I
tell you. I think that would be our state
of intud if we only realized that people
without Jesus Christ are lost. I tell you.
the church Is all wrong, by whatever
name or denomination she la known, if
she simply says. "Come and hear the
preacher preach and the choir sing, and
If you don't, why go to the devil." That
doctrine has paralysed the activities of
the earth. This is what I call going to
the multitudes, and I have never seen the
community that was willing to go into
their pockets to put up a tabernacle that
failed to get a blessing. I have had
preachers say "We hav a church that
holds so many." I say, "Then get some
other man; I'm not the one you are look
ing for.'
I won't go to a town and hold
a revival ln a church, for several rea
sons. There are lots of fellows who will
never darken a church, and therefore
God has seemed to call me be the
apostle to reach the fellow outside, that
the church never touches, and they moan
and groan and sigh and they didn't touch
him, then when God Almighty had been
pleased to honor me, they denoune me.
To perdition with such fools! They make

Now. then, get down Into the old
Mother book. Go to the old Bible and
read It for yourself. One of the pro
lific sources of unbelief and back-sliding
today la a bottle-fed church, where
the whole membership lets the preacher
do the studying of the Bible for them.
He will go to the pulpit with hla
mind full of hla sermon and they wl.l
come to church with tr.elr minds f.llol
with society and last night's card play
ing, beer and wine drinking and mvel
reading party and will sit there hair
asleep. Great God, it would take fo ty
thousand Gabriels with trumpets to
arouse a crowd like that! It's a hard
thing for a man to be eloquent to a
lot of corn shocks. If you want your
preacher to be eloquent you have to be
In sympathy with what he la trying to
teach you.
Secret of Earnestness.
You will agree with me. In closing,
that I'm not a crank; at least I try not
to be. I have not preached about my
first, second, third or hundreth blessing.
I have not talked about baptism or Im
mersion. I told you that while I was
here my creed would be. "With Christ
you are saved; without Him you are lost,"
Are you saved? Are you lostT Going
to heaven? Going to hell? I have tried
to build every sermon right around and
answer those questions and steer clear
of anything else, but I want to say to
you thla morning, in closing, that it Is
the Inspiration of my Ufa, the secret of
my earnestness. ,
"V Kaow Not the Hoar."
If John were here and I would Invite
him to preach, he would preach about
the love of God. If James were hero
and I would say. "James, will you
pray?" he would say "Faith without
works Is dead." James would aay:
"Get a move on you." James would
preach the Gospel of works. If Peter
were here and I would say, "Peter,
preach us a sermon," he would preach
about the Holy Ghost. If Paul were
here and I would say, "Paul, preach us
a sermon," and Paul would get up and
talk about the resurrection. He would
talk about Jesus when He comes to this
old world. I would say, "Luke, will you
preach us a sermon," and he would
talk along a similar strain, as you
will read It In Acts. Now, then, I say
to you. "Watch, for ye know not the
day or hour." In Revelations I read:
"Around about the throne were four
and twenty seats and I saw there four
and twenty elders sitting clothed in
white raiment, crowns of gold on their
heads, fl know some elders that won't
wear crowns unless they get converted.
They don't live In Omaha, these fellows
I'm talking about.) "I saw four and
twenty elders, clothed In white raiment,
on their heads crowns of gold, and they
cast their crowns at His feet." That's
a picture of the glorified church. Hero
It is the church militant; there It ts the
church triumphant. I sometimes think
here It Is the church somnamhiilcnt. Here
we call It the church militant, there
the church triumphant, where all things
have passed away and we atand before
God to receive the record of our labors
and our tolls for Him there. Wha a
grand thing!
That was a wonderful time. In 18'?,

"What was the battle?" He replied.
"Ills name Is TrowbrMse and Inkerman
the battle. " She said. "Give me the
medal." She arose, walked down the
steps, went down the aisle and met the
soldiers hearing the wounded comrade
on the stretcher. Thee stopped, she
leaned over and brushed the hair back
from his forehead. The tears trickled
down her cheeks and fell on his upturned
face and she said, "Poor fellow, hew you
(must have suffered! How I grieve for
you: How terrible are the ravages of
war that they leave mn like this! God
i speed tne day when they shall be no
more.' And with hrr own hand she
pinned tho .medal on his tirenst, and the
royal musicians trlrd to play, but they
broke down. The royal singers In the
gallery tried to sing and their song
ended with a sob. and then all. seemingly
simultaneously, cried out. "God savs the
queen!" 1 saw an old tYlmean veteran
out In Iowa who showed me his medal
and ho said It was a marvelous sight. I
met him ten years ago and he was then
S years old.
He said, "I wish you could have wit
nessed It." I wish I could mvself. but I
thought it would have been more wonder
ful If every soldier had pulled the medal
from his breast, walked past the throne
and thrown them at tho queen's feet and
said, -Your majesty. It la reward enough
for us to look Into your face and stand
In your presence and feel the power of
your personality. We are Klad ws rn.
JdureJ all we did. Just for the blesxlng
and honor of standing In your presence."
I think, when my eyes to earth's glories
grow dim and I have gone to the last
city and preached my last sermon and
offered my last prayer and have given
the last Invitation to the unsaved, and
the death dew gathers on my brow and
the death rattle in my throat, and my
wife and little ones stand around my bed
side and I look Into their faces, I want
to tell you, ln a tlmo and an hour like
that, when the world recedes and heaven
opens and I burst through the gates Into
the city and look Into the face of Him
who, having not seen. I love, whatever
reward Jesus feeU I have earned. I will
feel like taking the crown off my head
and throwing It at His feet and atand
and gase on His face and say: "Jesus,
It Is reward enough for me to look Into
Yo.U face. It la reward enough for me
to know that the pearly gates have
swung behind my back on their Jeweled
hinges and I will go In and out no more
forever. I just want to stand and look
at you, Jesus."
"Look to yourselves that you receive
a full reward."

He always has some droll word for the

He bustled Into the office yesterday
with the quick query:
"la Mr. Sunday In?"
"No." said "Bob." "You can't see him
now."
"Well, I have to sea him. I Just want
about an hour of his time."
"Well, he can't see you," aald "Bob."
"I might get him to see you for fifty-
five minutes, but an hour is out of the
question."
"All right, all right." aald "Billy,"
pretending to get angry, "Aa soon as
one of you fellows gets to be secretary
to a great man you think you're the
whole cheese."
"Now, see here," said Mathews, also
pretending to get angry and rising from
his chair, "aa long as you were courteous
I treated you like a gentleman, but If
you're going to get rough you'll have to
get out, that's all. Come back when
you're sober."
Thereupon 'Billy." with a grin, turned
up the collar of his coat and went out
muttering.

Be Thou Strong and Show Thyself
a Man" Is Topic of Men's Sermon
Mr. Sunday preached yesterday after-
noon to men only on the subject. "M.tn
or a Mutt, Gasoline or IMMiwster, Heads
or Tails." He said:
Text: I Kings. II 2. "lie thou strong
and show thyself a man."
No one can read the Hlhle In a thought
ful way without being Impressed with the
ract that it makes much of manhood and ,
UuUls It up as something thst should b ;
sought after with diligence and perse- I
vera nee.
1 In fact, the Bible exalts and emnli.-
slies manhood In a rmikhi. . .,,.1
shows that real manhood la the greatest
thing in the world.
The book of Genesis contains sixty
chapters snd covers 2.3"n years of human
history, snd yet one-half of It Is devoted
to telling us about the cohssal manhood
of Abraham and a third to that of Joseph.
The story of creation Is dismissed In
X won!, but a great deal more space
la given to the etory of Caleb's rugged
manhood.
It shows that God thinks the making of
a man more Important than the maklmr
I of a world. A whole book Is occupied
with the story of Job. and another with
that of Daniel. Hundreds of others are
passed up aa unfit In the same way that
a tramp passes up a pay car or a hum
ming bird flits by a swlil barrel.
Hear His admiration of the character
of Job. In the strongest language that
even God can use. In declaring, "He is
perfect!"
That's double A O. Some people look
all right, but It's character that counts.
You cant hide character. A fool may
havo a knowing look, but when he opens
his mouth It s all off. All that some peo-
pie cere about Is the appearance thy
ran keep up. They're all front door, but
when you open the door, you're In the
back yard. It s character that counts
every time. Whenever gold's around
you'll find brass around trying to shine
up and Imitate the gold. You can do like
a woman who went Into a Jewelry store

Look at Joaeph, when he was ln the
house of Potiphar. how he stood up and
shewed his character. Potlphar's wife
tried a frame-up on him. When her hus
band was away ahe went after Joseph,
but he pulled away from her and ahe
grabbed hla coat and held It, But Jo
seph pulled out of his coat. Then when
her husband came home she showed him
the coat and said. "I have the goods on
him." But Joseph looked her square In
the eye and said, "Nothing doing." !
They tried a frame-up on Joseph, but
It didn't work. And the old gang haa
been trying a frame-up on you ever
since Joseph's day. And yet you'll run
out after aome fusxy-halred, callcoed
little chicken Just the same.
And Abraham towers like a mountain
above molehills when he pushed aside
the rich spoils that the unrighteous king
of Sodom tried to force on him. But
Abraham pushed them aside bees use he

Stand up, you God-forsaken, hog

wanted Solomon to be anchored to a
noble purpose. He didn't want ths!

wanted him to have his eye set on

his while to strain every energy to
reach.

David himself had been a man of high
and lofty purposes. His own life must
have been greatly Influenced by the
character of Moses and the other mighty
men of God who had preceded him. That
his aim was high and his purpose lofty
Is clearly evident from hla life and his
writings.
Saul stumbled to tht throne of Isreal,
and he didn't stay there. A young man
that Inherits hla money has It aoout
that long. A fellow that's got to earn
every cent he has won't part with it
for a gold brick.
David was faithful to all hla duties
aa a shepherd, but he looked higher than
that humble calling, and made of It a
supping aton. He wouldn't sit on a limb
of a tree and saw between him and the
tree. He wouldn't stick hla head In a
lion's mouth unless there were a hundred
chances to one that he could get It
out again. Half the failures in the world
come from men attempting to do some
thing that's not In their line. And no
man can be a man who Is not a Chris

nowledges Jesus Christ.

Then King Saul sent his armor to David

laughed: "Well, who are you?" But
David Just took that sling, whirled It
around and soaked him on the coco be
