In closing his sermon Dr. Greaves appealed to sinners to come to God and cry for his salvation. There comes a time in every man's life when his soul faces the same thing Esau faced when he sold his birthright. Many a man goes down to death and realizes a time when he w&s impressed to accept God, but sold hi birthright. ' It is then that ! hp weeps, but it is too late then.

Workl Dominion, the Kaiser's Aim "There is one remaining mili tary autocracy left, a military autocracy the like of which the world has never known, headed by an autocrat of limitless and lustful ambition, whose covet ous eyes rest upon the whole world.

The First Duty of Every Man and Woman "This bond offering is not going to be successful of its ,own momentum. Every man and woman in this country must realize the first duty they can perform for their country is to take some of these bonds."
