True^hrlBtlan Hy Iihii WW pwewHi anybody, - It nooks only to nave and help the I lost and weak. Here we Bee get forth Paul's master passion- to win others to ' Christ. From the time of hla con- | version this passion mastered him ' and wherever we find him he la* Lord as zealously as he had per- j secuted the Christians before his! conversion. We see him in Romo where he has been seized by the infuriated mob because of hisi pestiferous preaching ami was ? only saved from death by the In tervention of the Praetorian guard, yet he stands In the face' of that angry mob aud before the ! - Praetorian - guard -of- the nr*?ati itomaii Entpim and preaches?to 1 them Christ. We see him before i the Sxrilii'drin. before the worldly I "wise, the philosophers, the ration-j allsts and religious bigots of his ? day. nnd here he la Just as zeal ous in trying to win them to | Christ. We see him ln~Athens as j he stands on Mars Hill before the I philosophers of that creat city, standing right in sight of the spot i where Socrates was made to drink the hemlock for declaring for the immortality of the soul, and he. preaches Jesus. In Rome again and chained to a soldier, he con verts him tp Christ, and then an-, other soldier Is chained to him ! with like results, and then anoth er until finally we hear his tri-1 umphant testimony: "Praise God,' I have the whole Praetorian Guard preaching Jesus." Why,' brother put Paul In Jail and he will baptize the jailer before 12 o'clock. His master passion was to win souls, and brother I'll tell you that Is the master passion of every true follower of Christ from ; that day to this. Thin modern su perficial, shallow, formal religion of temples and shrines and drives and movements and socials and soups Is not nkln In the least to' real Christianity. The Master Passion What is a Christian again? One whose master passion is to win others to Jesuit. Those who do not have this passion are pot saved. I never saw a sure enough Christian that wouldn't grasp ev ery opportunity to participate In anything that would get folks saved. Then In the third place we llnd the expression "suffer as a Christian." What does that1 mean? How does the Christian [ suffer? The fourth Chapter of I. Peter tells us. Listen: ""Forasmuch then as Christ suf fered In the flesh, arm ye your selves with the same m In <V?that ye no longer shonld live the rest of your time In the flesh to the' lusts of men. hut the will of God. For the time past may hare fuf-i flced to have wrought the desire : of the Gentiles and to have j walked In lafeclvlousneas, lusts, wlneblbhlngs. revelrlei, carous-1 i Ings, and abominable Idolatries, j Wherein they think It strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you." And again we read In the ir.th verse; "Let none of yon Miffer as a murderer, or a thlof. lor an evil do%r, or as a meddler in : ' other men's matters, but *f a man suffer as a Christian, let him not i be ashamed." How does the Christian suffer? (In that he does not Indulge In the i things of the flesh such as "revel-' I Ings" (dancing to music) carous Ings" "wlnebfbhlngfl" and the like , and because of his atiUtude the, world "think It Strang* that ye do { not run with them to the same ex ices* of riot" and they speak evil | of you. Buffering With Christ The Christian suffers "with Christ" and "for Christ." When I I llrtten to your troubles and diffi culties, I suffer with you. I tym pathixe with you In your suffer ing. When i suffer with Jesus. I sympathize with his suffering for I the lost of this world. Jesuii' suf i ferine was not the physical suf fering on the cross. It wasn't the spear In his side that caused Him I ?to suffer. Me was dead when that 1 spear was thrust In. When he was pierced blood flowed from the pleural cavity, showing that . the heart had hurst, allowing the blood to enter the cavKy. Jesus (?died of a broken heart. His great heart of sympathy and com pasnlon broke for the sins of this I old world. When you suffer with Jesus you suffer for the lost and sinful of the earth. That Is one way. I am suffering now with Jesus for this great host of young lads here who loaf on jrour streets, idling, frittering away these pre cious momenta of youth, making a 1 playground ont of life. I suffered today as I saw them wildly en Ithualastlc afcout their little hall game and then tonight when aaked to come to the meeting. whore their soul could Ik? stirred, tney weren't even inieresred. *TT one bojr. Raid, when I asked him last night If he had been at s?-r Ylce ho replied "So, I had to paint algna on the walk? for thw font ball game." ?It'* a tragedy for parents to. be so blind as to lot their children grow up with such an attitude to ward God and His work and their own eternal welfare. Oh, the har vest that awaits them. I tell yrnrniTonira? you tiuie Mils luaf Ing on your streets, this idle gos sip and waste of time, your boys and girls hanging around In your, soda founts, in their cars, on .the streets, ?n their home?, just idling, it doesn't make any dlffer?>n< ?? how much you spend on their Mil* cation, these Idle hours will tear down faster than you can ever build up. When you pet right with TTirf?l such condTUons as that wffi distress and pain you. You, too., will suffer with Christ at this < rimlnal negligence of the souls and characters of your youths. Suffering For <*hrint But this text refers primarily to suffering "for Christ." You as a Christian will suffer for non-conformity to the world. You can't do what it does. The world can dance, and indulge in all sorts of revelries, carousal* and wlnoblbblngs. but the Chris tian can't and of course ho suffers from thair reproaches,. "Well," you say, "how can I entertain my friends. If you are going to trot with the same crowd you have been with, you can't do It without giv ing them the same thing.? to which they have 1)een accustomed. How you entertain must depend on whom you are entertaining. A young lady once asked me how ehe could entertain her company. "Well." I said, "it depends on EL DALLO CIGARS Famous ?or Quality D. R.
