charges here, Arbuckle passed

“Fatty, they’re paying seme things

nnd the others swarmed about the

“Thanks kid,” said Arbuckle, with
tears in his eyes.
Miss Rappe became prominent in
Chicago in 1913 when she announc-
id that sho was earning $4,000
year as a model, and urged other
girls to try that profession. A year
htor she was again in the limelight
due to reports that she and another
beautiful young woman had present

comedies. “The Punch of the Irish,”

Mr. Webster: “Ye Cannot Serve
God and Mammon;” Mat. 6-24, Mam-
mon, the God of prince or thty world
that is, the God and prince of usurem
and pennyfathers.
Many of us are serving the prince
of this world, for w*e are told tha 1
the road which he travels ic broad
and easy to travel so far ns the ways
of the world is concerned (it is much
easier to keep on running in he same
old rut for if we are forced to turn
out we have to put on much more
gas. slow up our rate and be very
careful about the sides of the road),
there are so many little things that
one can do that satisfies the carnal
man, selfishness, greed, etc.—the de
vil tells us to do as we please, that
are free agents and keeps leading
us on until he gets all our coin, our
health, our position, etc., nnd then he
leaves us helpless where he can taunt
us, until he gets ready to pitch us
Into our home of hell where we burn
forever and ever. It is so easy to
walk in that broad road we hear a
young person say that I don’t Ik*
lieve I will turn out yet uwhile, I
ill go on just n little bit longer,
hiving a pood time in the wilds of
the world, anyhow I do not believe
in letting any body tell me how I
shall live yet awhile. I know the
acher is right, but I am too young
t, so I will go on having a good
time and some of these days when 1
marry or get old 1 will then accept
my Saviour and will narm
town then to a life for the good -
country, but to save my life now
don’t see for the world of me why
any young person should be expected
not to have a good time. I will uc-
ept that as pretty good argument
f there were not an “if” in the way.
but there is one nnd it is a big one,
IF, we can get around two con
ditions I would then bo glad to listen
to your argument 1st: What as
surance have you that you are going
to live to be an old person? The av
erage life of oJr people is about 32
years c»d and many of us are older
than that. Just two illustrations:
About two years ago the pastor of
one of Savannah's Methodist churches
spent Thursday evening at supper
with a prominent family at the re
quest of the good wife that he might
pet an opportunity to talk to the
father at home. This pastor did his
l»e.»t in conversation, in prayer with
the family to touch the heart of this
prominent county officer who was
what the world called a good man,
for he was big hearted, attended his
clubs, received a salary of about f8,-
000, «u a good accrrt order man,
think I nm talking about the other
fellow. I mean you. Scrutinize
closely your ntvn life and sec' it you
arc not about as guilty as Dives was.
Friends, coming back to our sub
ject more directly, who arc you serv
ing tonight! You ore serving one
nr the other—you cannot be neutral
You have never seen yi car in your
life get anywhere in neutral—I be
lieve I did hear one time that the
owner was in neutral when he left
it on a down grade when it tore loose
and ran off down hill until it ran
into e ditch. There is a law in- sci
ence that says that nothing never
stays on n level as it will either de
cline or incline, decrease or increase,
etc. You are not on the fence. You
are either on one side nr the other.
I don't rare who you are, whera you
came from, where lyou are going,
what position you have or whether
you have millions or not i; is not a
question, for in Acts 10-3-1 God tells
us that He is no respecter of per
son, and that applies to you well as
to myself. We are all included. You
know whom you are serving—only
you and God know that. We may
think we know until we feel certain
about it, but then you are the only
person on earth that fully knows.
The message is yours and may I
pray God in conclusion that no one
will leave this house tonight with
out accepting Jesus ss their Savion
and may they resolve that they will
let ratan with all his devices go by and
will try to walk in tl-ai road that
will lead them to a home' at last
where happiness reigns supreme in-
itead of that home where the angels
it burn forever and ever.
What will you do with the ques
tion, which are you serving, God or
Mammon!
