Therefore hell hath enlarged
| herself and opened her mouth
I without measure. Isaih 5-14.
Dear reader please get your
bible and read the sth chapter
of Isaih to the 14th verse that
you may better understand
what the Prophet means. He
was talking to Gods people
about their sins. If he was liv
ing now no doubt he could say
about the same things. If hell
,s not enlargng herself at the
present time the writer is mis
taken. 1 was glad when they
said unto me let us go into the
house of the Lord, Psalm 122.
How many are there at the
present time who are glad to
go to the house of God? There
is but few. Some will remain
at home during preaching hour
, 1 hat live in sight of the church
who are members of the
church, and we are told not to
neglect the assembling of our
selves together as the manner
of some is. Christ said by their
fruits ye shall know them. We
cannot look into a persons
heart to tell what kind of a per
son he is, we judge by his life
what he does and not what he
says. If he attends church reg
ular and takes a lively interest
in the Lords work that is good
evidence that he is a Christian,
but if he fails to do that the
evidence is against him. It
wont do for a Christian to let
the things of the world be
tween him and the worship of
his God, if he does the devil
has got him in his cluches. The
more property one has the
more thankful and considerate
he should be to the Lord for
llis blessings upon him. If any
one has any excuse to neglect
the assembling of themselves
tor worship it would be the
very poor members, but those
of moderate means up to the
rich have no excuse if not
providentialy hindered. W e
have no right to say we haven’t
got time to attend church, pray
er meeting, Sunday school or
preaching service. Who does
our time , belong to? What
does’ the word say? Ye are
bought with a price, ye are not
your own. If we have been
bought with the precious
! blood of Christ then we are his
■servants and our time belongs
to Christ and we are duty
bound to give a reasonable
amount in worship. We may
try to justify ourselves and
ease our conscience by giving
reasonable of our substance to
the Lordscause. Paul in writ
ing to the Corrinthians said
they first give themselves unto
'the Lord our personal service
!to the Lord is first then our
money, if we fail to render un
jto him the service due Him or
to render unto Him his dues of
our substance we become slack
ers and robbers of God. We
are represented in the book as
1 soldiers and no doubt it would
|do us all good to sing the old
song “Am Ia soldier of the
! cross?” Read it from begin-
ning to the end. If we are
soldiers then there must be a
war between righteousness and
sin, war between Christ and
Satan. If we, that claim to be
Christians were judged by our
lives which side would we he
found on for Christ or Satan?
In His war we are to obey the
laws of the land read Titus 3-1
put them in mind to be subject
ito principalities and powers to
obey magistrates to be ready
i tor every good work, Roman
13-1 to 8 let ever soul be sub
ject unto higher powers for
there is no power but of God
the powers that be are ordain
ed of God whosoever there
fore risisteth the power risis
teth the ordinance of God and
they that resist shall receive to
themselves damnation for rul
ers are not a terror to good
workers but to the evil, will
these then not be afraid of the
power? Do that which is good
and thou shall have praise of
the same for He is the minister
of God to thee for good. Read
to the 8 verse, Ist Peter 2-13
submit yourselves unto every
ordinance of man for the Lord
sake whether it be to the king
as supreme or unto governors
as unto them that are sent by
Him for the punishment of
evil doings. This is sufficient
to prove that we should be law
abiding citizens, in the face of
all this our church members
engage in the whiskey traffic
contrary to law. The traffic it
self should be an abomination
to Christians if the law permit
ted it. What must the chucrh
do? Use the pruning knife and
get rid of the dead branches.
C. S. Hawkins.

Buick Valve-In- Head Success
The Buick Valve-In-Head motorcar’s sales record each

future motor car purchasers. £
