Text: The way of the trans
gressor is hard.
Boys are animals according to
the broader classification. Boys
are byped animals, two legged
creatures. Every man except one
was once a boy, but every boy don’t
make a man. The boy or boyhood
Is the trenchent, or passing stage,
of this animal to maturity which
should develop* a man. The boy
is the image or likeness of man and
the first man was made in the
image of the creator. The first
man was made good and given a
law to keep, but he violated that
law and fell and brought the pen
alty of the law upon himselt and
his descendents. So every boy
that bas been born into the world
has been born a debtor to the law
of sin and transgression. Did I
say every one? Yes every one ex
cept One and b* was made sin for
us, he bore aar sin* in his own
body, he haviaf a* tins of his own.
Boys you w*w aonceived iu sin
and brought farth in iniquity.
You are prone to evil. Your na
ture is at varieaae with goodness.
Every thoughtful person would
know this even if the good book
your parents talk to you about
didh't Teach' it.
So when this first man violated
the law of ‘ his creator there was a
promise given him that one of his
offspring should keep the law and
that he should be both the son of
the creator and son of the created
to redeem them that were under
the law.
Now boys you know something
about this animal boy this mean
boy, this two footed boy that I
mentioned to you about at the be
ginning don’t you. You know he
wants to use bad words when he
stumps his toes. You know how
tempting it is to knock a chip off
the chaps head who dares him not
too. You know of his tricks and
pranks and mischief and how long
headed he is. He is just simply
and naturally a wild, rough, law
less, wicked boy. A chip off the
same old block prone to evil con
tinually. This puts all boys in
one class except One.
This One boy of whom we now
speak was born over 1900 years
ago. This boy kept the law that
all other boys did and have ever
violated. This boy was the son of
man as you boys are and he was
the only son of God. He kept all
the law, that all the violated law
of his heavenly father might be
reconciled to each of you boys.
He bore each of sins as your
sins as your brother that each of
vou might be reconciled to his
father and your creator.
This boy lived a perfect life as a
boy and as a man became an offer
ing for the sins of all the people of
all ages of the world.
And he requires nothing impos
sible of you to become an equal
heir with himself.
He demands repentence of you
for your own actual sins and traus
CUMMING, GA. SEPTEMBER 1909
gression and the exercise of faith
in Him to forgive all your sins.
This is easy isn’t it boys?
Now some of you boys if I were
talking with you would say ; But I
don’t know this fellow of whom
you speak. Let me tell you boys
you do know about this fellow this
Jesus of Nazareth. For he said I
will send my spirit which shall re
prove the world of sin of righteous
ness and of judgment.
Now boys when you tell a false
hood don’t something say thats
wrong? When you have cursed,
is there no reproof? That reproof
comes from the soil of righteous
ness. In every mean act you do
is there not the spirit of reproof
follows it ? if you answer yes then
you are to that extent acquainted
with Him that suffered for your
sins and is beseeching you to ac
cept offered mercy. It you answer
no then you are either lying or are
unrational or sure enough an ani
mal who should be classed with
the lower order of animals. And
I dismiss vou.
Now boys if you violate the phys
ical laws you become a physical
failure. If you violate the mental
laws you become a mental failure.
If you violate the moral laws you
become a moral failure. If you
violat3 the laws governing society
you become a society '/allure. And
for the violation of each of the laws
you must suffer the penalty.
You have already transgressed
the divine laws and are already
condemned and unless you accept
offered mercy through repentance
and claim Christ by faith as yonr
righteousness you will beau eter
nal failure.
The law or word kills but the
spirit makes alive. I write you
boys to get yau to think for each
of you have heads full of sense, if
you will just use it and unless you
do exercise your brain it will become
numb, inactive and stagnant.
If you ever amount to much you
must have a purpose in life, and
you can never reach a higher plan
than your ideal. You can’t afford
to trust your future to chance or
haphazard.
I have been hinting along at the
Divine law that you might obey it
and if so I assure you that you will
never neea the assistance ot a law
yer in the superior courts so far as
the criminal docket is concerned.
Now as to our state laws it seems.
“The way of the transgressor is
hard/’
The thing I want to discuss a
while with you boys is: “That
something in a bottle.”
I’m no extremist, every boy that
is acquainted with me know I like
boys and wish them well and 1
don’t try to snare them and I look
over all their faults I just can’t
help loving ard sympathizing with
boys. I was once a boy. I know
how to sympathize with you. But
the law loves no one.
The law sympathizes with no
one. “The way of the transgress
or is hard.” The greater part ot
the cases on our criminal docket
is in some way connected with,
“that something in & bottle.”
A few years ago you could gat a
-jug full” pretty reasonable from a
tolerable reliable fellow and tbo
law against the sale and use was
new and appeared to kind a wink
at the business. But now boys let
me tell you : The days of this ig
norance is passed and all men are
going to repent unless they let the
“stuff” alone.
Now bays let me give you a piece
of advice when you get up you
bottle full you just hide it away
and go to Cumming and see a law
yer and get him to council you as
to ’vhat he would charge you to de
fend you for drinking at church or
being drunk on the public high
way or using abusive language &c.
Also what your fine would be &c,
then go tell your father what your
lawyer told you and get his con
sent. then get your mothers con
sent. And if your parents don't
give their consent then go and des
troy the stuff that had like to have
ruined your character.
I want you to think, act sensible
consult your lawyer, consult your
father, consult your mother. Sit
down and count up the coat and
balance accounts and see if it would
be a profitable investment. See
if you could afford to spend say $75 :
to get your name on the criminal
dockett. Now boys you let the
bottled stuff alone It don’t mai
ler whetker it is sold at the “blind
tiger” or from the wagon or buggy
or by your Christian merchant. It
is either a dangerous strong drink
or a stepping stone to strong drink
This soft drink business is worse
than the old fashioned double cop
pered whiskey and brandy. This
chemically poisoned stuff has de
moralized the old world and is fast
getting its clutches on America
Boys let it a'one, it will lead you
wrong. Fellows will step into a
store and ca’l for a bottle and hang
the cap on a nail pull it off turn up
the bottle drink its contents smack
their mouth while their wife or
mother sister are at home knocking
the dirt out of their old shirts and
battleing their already darned old
socks. Think boys. Why not
leave off ten bottles and hire two
weeks washing done. Or if those
drinks are needful buy a crate take
it hom* and divide with your wife,
mother or sister. Think boys lets
reason together.
I heard n*t any years "ago that
there were preachers of more than
one demonination in Georgia who
would call for a refreshing drink.
I can’t hardly believe it to be true.
But if it is I had rather spend mon
ey for snake eggs than for their
support. It would be a better in
vestment.
Now boys I have just lightly
hinted along the line that I would
like to talk to you about. I want
ycu to grow up to be men not just
mere things who have to shave to
distinguish themselves from other
animals.
I believe many of you boys are
g. ing to think more than you have
along the right lines and you are
going to consider cost before yo
go into this bottle business further.
It will pay, I know what I’m talk
ing about.
Now boys if you don’t heed a
good part of the above warning, it
won’t be many years before yon
will be stepping around with a.
rabbit hide in your pocket to get
the attention of a decent dog.
Each one of you boys want to
know what you will be when yon
become a man and what yon will
be thaught of; don’t you boys?
Now let me give you two rule*
that will determine those two very
important questions. First you
will be (by the grace of God) just
what you make yourself.
Second you will be rated just ac
cording to the company you keep
either good or bad. Your own ac
tions will select your associates.
Boys think of the responsibility
that rests upon you, think of your
duty to your family name to your
parents to your country and to
your God.
