McLendon' Describes Some of Them-Cherish' Pleas urable Sins t Slaves to Money Pride Some "Haven't the Sand" r (By D. T. EDWARDS) "Ye will not come to me that ye might hive life." These words of Jesus Christ as recoixled in John 5:40, Mack uid Thursday night, he con siders the saddest of the Lord's ut- erar.ces. , After the tremendous sacrifice made for the salvation of humanity t6 have it all rejected by vast num bers of men was enough to break the heart of the Son of God. '- The atonement, shid Mack,, covers every man be he high or low. And nil banker or bobtblack if eyer asrved must come to Christ in the same way through' the' bldod. God has arranged no special plan for my man or set of men. Why Will Men Not ComeT Mack said he would note a few of the "fool exe-uses" 'men and women tfive for not coming to Christ. They cherish sin that they are not willing to give up. Slavery to mon ey and pleasure bind them. They are hindered" bjr pride the Ifcar of man. They havte not the "sand," be cause it takes bravery to come out on Chrwt's side and stay there, Then they frequently wait for 'feeling." Feeling is alright, said Mack, but you- must hot put tho cart before the horse. Feeling is a re sult of believing and comes only af ter you have become a Christian and know that the "old account is settl ed." - ' God's Program VVl and the Devil's. God says that the course of eal- vatiorV' . is through facts, through faith to feelings. The devil a saint would be-once in a while and he keeps the sinne"r in custody by Dreaciiirus; to him that he must start with f eoling and through faith to ?et to the facts. Mack says he knows that there is a devil, first because the Bible says ?o and in the second place because e hat! done business with him. And the woild is full of the foot prints of tho devil juet as God Almighty. 'Sparks" From the Sermon. :., . Some of Mack'S- observation in the' course of his sernioh were: "In many fine mansions there is a skeleton in the closet. : Ofttimes a smile hidiss.-a" guilty' conscience and a silkdrcss a broken heart." ' " "You dont ' expect to have the feeling of a Christian before you be- eome a Christian." ' ' . "Many will not sacrifice a crook ed business nor the crooked price of an hor.23t business. "Tim ekvery of money is as com plete - and as degrading as is the slavery of strong drink."
