*Lot's Fate Warning To
The Worldly Christian
^vangelUl in Drumutie Sermon Portray* (iliararlcr of
ul When He Tries to Save Oh ii Household
At times sitting in his chair on I
the rostrum, at times paring rap-1
Idly up and down the platform, I
und then abruptly stopping and
throwing-, his weight oil Ike uuluit |
Bland as he hurled some pithy I
statement straight at his audience. I
Evangelist Hum last night preach- I
ed the most dramatic sermon yet I
heard in the pine temple, back of I
the old Commrnder residence, on I
Poplar street.
Baaing his sermon on the story I
of Lot. and Impersonating in turns
Lot himself. Abraham. Lot's wij.
Lot "a daughters and other chaiac
?tera-Jn. the draiua of the jdiadruc
tion of Sodom. and ?then ?miri h
assuming the roll of Lot s wife
Afv'linm hi' represented us tin- real
Jfhesd of the household. ||?. ?.van
gellst displayed u not her phase of
his versatile delivery.
However, though highly dra
matic. there was In Mr. Ham's de
livery none of tin* gymnastic an
tics of a Hilly Sunday or Cyclone
M*ck. Engaging. and with wit as
- fi**" aw l'al>l',r- there was noth^~
i&g sensational about the evange
list's sermon except the astound
ing bluntness of the charges
brought by the preacher against
modem church members when he
drew parallels between the mis
takes of Lot and those of the
modern Christian who tries to
live at peace with the world.
The Song Program
The song program, in keeping
with the remainder of the service,
eclipsed any previous "program Tri
effectiveness and enthusiasm. Fea
tured by the individualistic inter
pretation of one of Mr. Ramsay's
own compositions, u descriptive
number entitled "The Christian's
~ Race." the music was thoroughly
onjoyed by the entire audience
from the opening rythmic melody.
"Held by His Mighty Hand." to
the closing familiar hymn. "There
Is a Fountain Filled With Blood,"
In which the audience Joined. Tim
colored folks agalu rendered a
highly appreciated number under
Mr. Ramsay's direction. "Lord I
Want to be More Holy In My
Heart," the audience expressing
its appreciation by a round of ap
plause.
This morning Mr. Ham dellv
. ered a most helpful and instruc
L live message to a large audience
prpn#"The Prayer of Faith." The
YUornlng audiences are most cred
itable for this stage of the cam
paign. the ' attendance being
swelled by the business forces of
the city which are now attending
almost enmasse. Some twenty
business llrniB Joined the ranks of
those closing for the morning ser
vice yesterday and still others
Joined this niurning until now the
town is exceedingly quiet during
- the service hour.
Thursday night's sermon fol
lowi:
Lot a Light eons .Man
"And I?Ot went out. and spake
unto his sons-in-law, which mar
ried his daughters, and said I'p.
get you out of this place: for the
Lord will destroy this city. Hut lie
seemed unto his sons-in-law as
orie that mocked."
Lot was a righteous man. Cod
said so. We are told that "his
righteous soul was vexed at the
lascivious conduct of the wicked
city." his soul revolted at the evil
that went on around him every
day and for nineteen years he I
livfd In Hodom under these clr-,
cumstances and yet, at the crisis.
Of his life, when he would have j
delivered bin family, this "right-1
eous man" "deemed unto his son?-j
In-law as one that mocked.
That peems hard to reconcile.
A righteous man and yet one In
whom his own family had no con
fidence. Cod wasn't fluttering
when he said !x>t was righteous.
He meant It. I^ot no doubt wan
a good man; he led a moral and
upright life, he was a kind and
g^ndulgcnt father; u progressive
| ;<nd religious citizen; h? didn't In
?wd"!?" with the Sodomites In their
vifc sins and more than that, he
was vexed by them. And yet this
righteous man. at the time when
of all times, he wanted to be of
help to his family, at the time of
their greatest danger, at the time
when he was moat In earnest for
the Welfare, did not have their
confidence enough to deliver them
from the tragic fate of Sodom. His
very earnestness made his family
think he waa Jesting with them
Now we wsnt to see what the
trouble was with Lot and prob
ably as we go along we will pick
you up along the way and help
you to see why It Is that you have
no Influence with your family In'
the crucial periods that come
when they need the warning of a I
father or mother. To do this we
will trace Lot's history and study
ths character of the man
1*4 and Abraham
Over In Pr of the Chaldeea wan
a man named Abraham. The I/>rd
called to Abraham to follow Him
and leave his family and home In
Cbalden and although Abraham
did nut know where he was go
Ing, yet he was a min of faith
and he followed Ood His nephew
l,ot went with hlin. Why he went
\ w* do not know He was prob
ably Just a restless young man
and wsnted to 'go west ' to bet
ter hi* condition and he took thl*j
opportunity of going with his un-1
i cle. H - didn't umi? rotund (Iml's
. purpose with Abraham and he
? probably never save It~iT thought.
II** Just went along to wi* what ho
fftmhi iiad iliui uuul.l Uiiu hi*
condition In this world.
They got to liaian and there
Abraham stopped. lil? faith go!
weak and (!ud couldn't gel him to
move on to the land where he
purposed to use him. Abrnham
i offered as an excuse ?lint his fm li
ter. Terah. wasn't able to ?o and
Cod hud lo tak- Terali to gel him
out of the way Just as IV*> Is koIhk
to have to brin? affliction on
many or you to get you to do His
will. Many ? f you will I?n* chll
"dren or parents because you let
?tli? iii get In the way of tiod'H pur
pose for >cn. After Terali died
Abraham went on to ih<' land
i Here Cod wanted to t?*st Abraham
and In* went a famine on the land
and again Abraham h:i<J a deflec
tion of faith and pulled out for
Kgypt without consulting God.
Now. Kgypt. which In scriptural
usane ftl|rnt*i?-s -the w??rld. in no
place for the child of God nnd
God couldn't go with h!m Into
that land. And as was to be ex
pected Abraham -pit Into trouble
down there and had to come back.
You Christians can't t;?ke chauc
es with this world Ilk.- the man
of the vor'd can. You will al
ways suffer f??r running ahead of
Cod.
Hut the-Lord delivered Abru
1 ham out of his trouble finally, but
"he and Lot had no "sooiierrei"urn
.ed to the laud until more trouble
'arose. The herdsmen of tluae two
men got to fluhtltii; and the quar
rel got buck to them and here
was the first time We SCe Lot test
ed. A test doesn't make charac
ter; but It reveals character, and
here we nee the character of the
two men very clearly.
IxmN I'Iisi Test.
'Abrahnm called Lot in and
said:
"Now. Lot, we ere. brethren; we
can't afTord to i|uan?|. So >ou
take your choice r,f the laud and
tak<> it for your own_uml I will
take what Is left.*'
Here Lot gets a chance to do
what has been in his heart for a
long time. He had wanted the
fertile plain for his own for a
| long' time, so lie Immediately
chose "for lilmaelf" the fertile
plnins and "pitched bin tent to
ward Sodom." At first lt< didn't
go all the way Into Sf.dom. lie Jui-t
went a little way "toward Sod
om." That was his first compro
mise. Lot walked by sight. He
ffiw only the fertile plains and the
rich cities of the plains, but Abra
ham. walking by fAlth. raw b>
yond the cities of the world to a
"city not made with hand* whose
builder and maker 1? God." After
the choice hid been made nnd
Abraham had retired to the hill
side*. God came to him and said:
''Abraham. I am gcdng ? ?> give all
of (his to you." Abraham, walk
ing bv faith, wan to receive all;
hut Lot. walking by Fight and I
choosing "for himself," was to
lose all. That wan what he did
n't see and that I* what you don't
see when you are choosing for
yourself Instead of letting God
choose for you. You who would
save this life shall lose the next
life: you who choose for yourself
will get nothing.
| Hut after Lot made thin choice,
fhe never received a visit from
God for nineteen years. He was
separated from God as aro all
those who pitch their tents to
ward the world, flut becaiiso he
van prospering, he probably
thought God was still with him.
That was the tragedy. He didn't
know when he wa* separated. He
cause God blesses you is not al
ways a sign that He is with you
His blessltiKS may follow you,
when He Is wot there.
No Compromise in Abraham
Then another test revealed the
contrast in the characters of these
two men. When the Kings of
Sodom came out tA try to .reward
old Abraham for service done
their city he replied: "I will not
take one shoe latchet from the
Kings of Sodom lest they say they f
made Abraham rich." In other,
words lie would not allow himself
to be placed under obligations to
this world, leat lie lose his rela
tionship to God and his depend
ence on c;od. He wan walking by
faith. Ho# different from Ix?t.
One day probably some shewd
real estate agents from Sodom
came out to lad's prosperous
ranch on the plains end convlnc??d
him that he should move his fam
ily Into the city where he could
give them the advantages of the
conveniences and the schools and
the culture of the wcsllhy city
and Ix?t moved In. He was walk
ing by sight.
There were four thin** he did
n't consider when he went Into
Sodom: first, the glory of God:
second the spiritual Welfare of
hI? children; third, the splrltusl
welfare of Sodom and fourth, his
own snirlfonl welfare and peace
of soul. He wasn't consider!"*
snvthing of s solrltual nature. His
mind wns whMlv on the materhl.
He wasn't IhlnVlne about glorlfv- ,
in* God and avoiding any entan- ?
gllne alliances with the world
which would crlfiple his testimony ;
as a child of God; he wasn't
