' The leading? themght brought put at tins' morning'a service was that there is a limit to all ski, and that when this limif is reached, - God withdraws' his rhetcy and. proceftds to" administer judgment j. v -r ' ' "How ' of ten. have we 'seen this brought out in- history both in the history of individVals'T and- nations," said ,the evangelist. Empires have risen' to greaf power, but upon com nig saturated' with, sin have crumbled and fallen. Their ,cup of sin. was filled ahd God administered his judgment. Where. iv& -the ; .Chaldeans, the Am morites, the HittieSja'nd ,' other- proud nations oa former; age?. Where is the great strength' and power of Egypt and of ancient Bablyon? Those na tions, and many others as well, at one time were considered ,the world's greatest' power. Today they are eith er , extinctaltogether or they are pit iable weaklings. "What has' happened to those na tions is going1 to happen to America. I am not trying to alarm you; I am merely giving you actual facts. The civilization of'lAmeriea is threatened in an alarming fashion. Its very foun- dation is now being weakened by mal gin and dammable influences. The great power of the world is now in tne nanas , or tne uentnes, but even this shall come to an end. The trouble is that the v majority of folks are blihded to these vital developments; they do not care to have their eyes opened. ; ".- :'. 1 "Every - failure to carry out God's teachings jidds another drop to your cup of sihV There . are many right here in New Bern whose cup is full. There are other who have only a short while to ' go. There are many who have been ; indifferent to these meetings; Oh, yes; they have' attended whent it was convenient for them to attend, but when business or pleasure interfered, then . the meetings were shoved into the ; background. "God is a merciful God and a just one. He gives you chance after chance the house no peace until her polls' to accept Him, but there, is a- limit to his't61erance. And when you reach that limit, my friends, you are up again, 'stern fatality. Just as sure as I am standing here before- you and just as sure as that body of yours is - going to become an inert piece of clay, God is going 'to bring His wrath down upon you - for neglecting Him. "You may- consider; yourself lm- j mune from- your -feUow-mah, but you i cannot consider yourself immune trom' God. He will not permit you to ignore Him. There are many of you ' wh think that you can accept Christ I whenever you- get. ready to 4o so, bu$ 'you are, mistakenly God wants you ,wnen iie is reaay to receive yob: ana not when you are.'". . The appeal at the end of the ser mon was a most powerful one and it was followed by a- number of promin ent people of the city coming forward and professing their faith ih Christ.
