Weekly Devotional I Column By James Mackenzie "It is appointed unto m£n once to die, but after this the judgment” (He brews 9: 27). Why are men afraid to die? Because after death comes judg ment. Man may say, “I am young. I have many years left in which to prepare for death.” Man may say, "I want nothing to do with the Bible, Christ, God, religion.” Man may push the thought of death out of his mind, refuse to think of it; but that does not make it any the less ominous, nor bny the less imminent. Man may say, ■ "I am progressing;” but this World knows no progress gave as a progress to the grave, and "it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” Where will you be 100 years from now? What difference will it make then whether you drove a Cadillac or a Ford, whether you lived in a pa latial mansion or a log cabin? No difference at all. But it will mlake all the difference between heaven and hell what you do with Jesus Christ today, for "it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judg ment.” According to a recent poll, some 72 per cent of adult Americans believe there is a heaven, but only 68 per cent believe there is a hell “in which people who died without regretting their sins yill live in eternal dam nation.” But their disbelief does not make it any the less real. No hell? The Bible gives us fourteen sermons of Jesus, and in all fourteen He speaks and warns of hell. If there is one fact the Bible teaches in terms clear and concise, it is the fact of hell, a hell of eternal torment, and that those who are sent there remain through I h roc WILKEN COMPANY.

In Mark ?;48 Jesus tells us that the fire in heH shall never be quench ed; and in Matthew 25: 46 He speaks of everlasting punishment. The Greek phrase translated “everlasting” here is the some one used to describe “ever lasting” Kfe. If one is eternal, so is the other. There is no second chance spoken of in the Bible. There is a terrible finality about hell. Men may say there is no hell, but Jesus says that the wicked shall be cast into hell, and that a hell of eternal torment But thanks be unto God, the Bible also teaches us this about hell: it is escapable. “He that beheveth in Him is not condemned” (John 3: 18). "He thiat heareth my word, and believeth on Him that sent me, hath everlast ing life, and shall not come into con demnation, but hath everlasting life” (John 5: 24). The blood of Jesus (Christ is still available to lokt and dying sinners, and is all sufficient to cleanse the sins of those who come to Him in simple, trusting faith, to receive Him as a Saviour and Lord. There is a story about a judge who rushed out into the street, and risked his life to save a boy who was about to be run down by a heavy delivery truck. Years later a young man was brought before this same judge, guil ty of a serious crime, and was sen tenced to death. The young man said to the judge, “Don’t you remember me? I am the boy whose life you saved so many years ago. Won’t you let me off-easy because of that?” Refusing, the judge answered, “Yes terday I was your saviour; today I am your judge.” Today, Jesus longs to be your Sav iour. If you neglect Him now, some day you will have to stand before Him as your Judge, for “it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” What will you do with Jesus ? Neutral you cannot be; Someday your heart will’be asking, “(What will He do with me?” CHRISTIAN CHURCH SERVICES Services at the First Christian JhuTch have been announced as fob OW3 by the pastor, the Rev.
