FOR CHRISTIAN LIFE
Rev. H B Jenkins Delivers Impressive Sermon On!
"WhyjjWe Should Become Christians "
| Last n'.ght at tfe First Baptist
i Church, the new pjgptor, Edward B.
| Jenkins, preached &he first sermon
j of a series of Sueur Bight sermons,
jxia sub j yjx jfefcy Wa ?heaUl
'Become Christians." His text was
found In Matthew 7th chapter, 11. h
and 14th versus: "Entefr je In at the
straight gate, (or wider la the sate,
and broad Is the war that leads to
destruction, and many there be which
so in thereat; because straight is the
late and narrbw is the way. which
oadoth ULto .life, and few there be
hat find U." The speaker aatd in
jajrt:
The subject for tonight Is "Why
,Ve Should Become christians?"
>"lrat of all because of the penalty
if sin in this life. If there was no
4tCh thing as the suffering beyond
-fio grave, but only in this life, it
would pay to be a christian. Sin is j
a debt, a burden, a thief, a sicknet\
a leprosy, a cancer, a plague, a pois
on, a serpent ? sin Is a sting.
The second reason why we should
' become christians^! because of the |
' penalty of sin In the future life. Peo- j
, pie fane saying today that there is !
no such place as hell. Among the*!e
are Universalis. Spiritualists and
iufldels, an well as old man Russell
Hell is God's penitentiary. If it were ,
possible, people would even go up
and tear down the walla of the New
Jr-ru?alem, Hople in North Carolina,
r^op'e fiere in Washington. They
would dig up the gold on the street*
of the New Jerusalem would
go up and take Qod from hia thron<
it _|t* were possible. And these peo
I plo aer saying that Ood la too merci
i ful to punish us through eternity
for fains committed in thia life. Is
merciful? A man commits

Lk?^|p?nd guilty. He la to be taken
[Vrfritr his home, from hla faml'.y and
Uyoiujile children crying for bread.
laCpft lept to the penitentiary for life
or ^o^tbe electric chair. Why la the
3t*tBftot more merciful? I ety tf?al
we rimy claim that Ood tf too mer
but vfhlle Ood is merciful, He
*t God.
r.h* U?!rd reaaon we ahtftiM become
'rtus li because of the love that
Gods love |e constant.
JfwjBBs'27 l "Wh^n my rather and
mother forsake me. then He Lord
Fill take tee up." One t ype of Ood's
love Is that of a mother. A fatht r
may forsake his children, but a
mother never! Jesus Is the expres
.on of Qod's love (or us.

people losing their lives. Of course
you undersaud that the reason so J
many women and children wore
drowned waa because they were on
the lower deck. Tho young people
were on upper deck and had a chance
for their lives. One mother, who
realised that death had come, took
off her cloaR and wrapped It about
her little Infant babe, and looking j
up, placed It on a shelf, and then
'.he boat went to the bottom ard Bhel
fell back from where the child was
placed. Bodies and chairs fell over
lier and wedged her in and when the
liver found her she was standing i
there, her hair streaming in the w;i
er, with her hands up toward her
young child, but there was the child,
\bove th? water, laughing a^d chat
tering and cooing as only a child
can. Loving hands lifted it to saf
>ty. When the great Ship of Lifs
sunk by sin. Jesus Christ reached
iown and caught you ar.d me with
ii? loving hands and lifted us up

hps of God while the ship of sin
went down. For this great act of
ove we ought to give our hearts to
