An Open Letter
B> J. M. Little
My dear friends,
Last week we concluded the
series on The Saddest Day In
All The World." That judg
ment pictured there in the 20th
chapter of the Book of Reve
lation is the last judgment.
How is it between you and
Christ? Are you safe in Him?
It'll do you no good to
criticize the other fellow, the
state of your soul and where
you will spend eternity is what
is all important. You and I are
eternity bound. Where will you
spend eternity?
) Truly, we are living in the
_ last days now. The coming of
■* the Lord draweth nigh. I won
der how many of you heard
Brother Shelton this past Sun
day morning at seven over
i WAG1 FM 105.3?You should
' tune in and hear those mess
%',dges. 1 know, it has been said
that the messages are too stiff.
--'Well, I praise the Lord they
are stiff. It was messages like
that, by my late pastor that
' the> Holy Spirit used to awaken
me to mv lost and ruined
t condition as a soul on the road
to Hell. It’s no disgrace to be
awakened to your lost condit
ion. That is grace if you are
awakened to your lost cond
ition. That is the greatest
tiling that can happen to you
as a sinner My Lord said;
“For the Son of man is come to
seek and to save that which
was lost.’’(Lk. 19:10) Are you
lost? If you are, then Christ is
seeking you. Have you ever
been lost? If you have then you
have been saved.That’s right.
If you have ever been lost,
then Christ nas saved you. I
don’t mean lost in the head, I
mean lost in the heart. If you
have~eVer been brought down
in repentence, come to the end
rtf i./v..- ...... ___ ii s_
-J-»T iU( ou livpc
gone, and there was no way
out except Christ, then you
have been saved. And you can
say with me, Christ died for
me, I’m His, and He is mine.
Praise the Lord.
I’ll never forget when God
saved me. I don’t want to
forget it, and never will I get
over it. I want to tell you
friends. I was a lo6t sinner
without hope. I had done ev
erything under the sun to get
God to save me and nothing
had helped, I felt my condition
worse and worse. I had pray
ed, read messages, studied the
Word night and day, and
everywhere I went I was
crying; Lord, I am a lost
sinner, Lord help me, Lord
save me or I perish. I read in
the Scripture that only a few
would be saved. I cried; Lord,
if only one will be saved, I
want to be that one. I was
resolved that if I had to wade
through Hell to get to Christ
I’d go. What difference did it
make what others thought of
me, I knew I was going to Hell
anyway. But I was funner
resolved, Lord, if I go to Hell
I’ll go to Hell trusting you.
I knew God was omnipotent.
Somehow I knew the Word of
God was true. I couldn't be
lieve Christ but I knew the
Word of God was true. Now
that may sound like a con
tradiction to you. And I cannot
explain it. I don't have to, but I
knew everything in the Word
was true. And also the Holy
Spirit convinced me there was
no hope outside of Christ. I
saw clearly that if God saw
one hair’s breath of J.M.
Little, it would mean Hell for
me. Either I would be put
under the blood of Christ and
be safe there, or I would go to
Hell in my sins. I want to tell
you friends. Holy Spirit Con
viction is the closest thing to
Hell and death because you
are seeing yourself as God
sees you.Now get this; there is
no salvation in Christ apart
from Holy Spirit Conviction.
I'll stake my hope of Heaven
on the truth I’m laying down
here. The sinner who bypasses
Holy Spirit Conviction dies in
his sins and wakes up in Hell!
I know what I’m talking about.
Now you had better think
seriously on your way. Con
version is made easy today, no
pain, no parting with the
world, no repen tence etc. All
this soap box derby religion is
on the road to Hell.
u yuu ore sovra, wny can l
you talk to me about Christ?
Who ever heard you tell how
God saved you? As long as you
can sit there and pick me to
pieces, that is concrete evid
ence you are not saved. And
you’ll never be saved as long
as you criticize me. A woman
recently made fun of the mess
ages and said I wasn’t saved.
She cut me to shreds and then
said she was going to pray for
me. I just looked at her and
felt sorry for her. I wouldn’t be
in her place for ten thousand
worlds.
But I know of a certainty
that the greatest thing in all
this universe is just to know
Christ. I’m glad the Lord
saved me. He is my hope and
joy. Christ is my all in all. How
is it with you?Do you know
Christ? Do you? I’m not talk
ing about making a profession
and “jining” the church. What
I want to know from you is; do
you know Christ? Has He been
revealed to your heart? Just
because you are a Bible tea
cher is no sign you are saved. I
was a Bible teacher for years
before God saved me. You are
not saved because you are a
preacher either. You are sav
ed only if you know Christ.
Salvation is a Person, and that
Person is the Lord Jesus
Christ. Christ minus nothing,
and Christ plus nothing. I am
saved by a Person, not works!
You cannot mix works and
grace. Now you think serious
ly on your wav.
This world is the preparing
place for everyone, you are
either being prepared for Hea
ven or Hell. Which are you
being prepared for? Hundreds
of thousands are dying every
day, going out into eternity.
One day you will be in that
number. Since I sat down at
the typewriter .thousands have
gone out under the cloud with
out Christ. It is a
very rare occasion when a
soul enters Heaven. You may
try to resolve eternity with
atheism, but you can’t. You
are going to die friend, and as
Brother Shelton used to pr
each; “as death finds you, so
shall eternity hold you.” Think
and consider these eternal
realities. At death it’ll be too
late. It is too late for some of
you now. Remember the rich
man in Luke 16. That is a true
story, not a parable as many
preach. I beg you, turn to
Christ before it is too late.
Christ is coming soon.

in previous months.
White adult males had an

cent, adult women, 4.8 per
cent, and teenagers, both

On the nationwide basis, the
bureau reported that em

and unemployment declined.
The nation's overall un
employment rate was 5.8 per
cent, down slightly from 6.0
per cent in August but little
different from the rates which
have prevailed over the past
year.
Total Employment, as mea
sured by the monthly survey
of households, advanced by
610,000 in September to 97.5
million. Over the past year,
total employment grew by 2.5
million, with nearly three
fourths of the increase occur
ring in the 6 months from
September to March.
Nonfarm payroll employ
ment, as measured by the
monthly survey of establish
ments, rose by 135,000 in
September to 89.9 million.
Payroll employment has
advanced by 2.8 million over
the year; 2 million of that
increase occurred prior to
April.
The September unemploy
ment rate, 5.8 per cent, and
the number of unemployed
persons, 60 million, edged
down from the levels of the
previous month. Since August
1978, the jobless rate has
fluctuated within the range of
5.6 of 6.0 per cent.
