82,000 in cash premiums and the

Jesus sat down by the road.side in
the evening and leaning his head
upon his aching arms, thought o
himself the first time since the
morning. 'I have been thinking o
the blind, the deaf, the diseased, the
sick woman ; my mind has been on
other people.' The man most like
Christ is he who says glory be

ANY CHRISTIANS IN NASHVILLE ?
I never said we didn't have, but
taking Christ as a Christian, have
we got them ? Sister, if you would
live like Christ from this morning
until , your death, do what you think
Christ would do. Blessed Christ,
give us thyself and we will be like
thee, and to be like him is the ulti
timatum of all our prayers and all
our efforts.
'T have tried this morning to talk
earnestly to you, and I want to hear
you say you are in earnest about get
ting to heaven. 1 am in earnest
about getting there, and 1 want to
meet manv of the good people of
Nashville in the better world; but
we have got to quit doing some
things that we are doing, 'and do
some things that we are not doing,
or all of us will not get there. That
is candid, so far as the Bible and
my honest convictions are concerned.
God help us to quit everything
wrong and do everything that is
right."
At the conclusion of the sermon,
in response to invitations, about a
score of persons came to the front
and asked the prayers of the meeting
in their behalf.
