It Is not to be tucked away In a corner and read only at fnnerals. The man who knows little about the Bible is ) poorly educated, though he may be a university graduate. I am glad that the T. M. C. A. puts emphasis on Ita Bible classes. At the cloee of Mr. Dickson's ser mon 14 men were converted. He took aa a text. "Blessed Is the man whose transgression Is forgiven and whoa sin Is covered." He said. In part: "When David said this he said It with aa overflowing heart. For a yesr he had covered his sin. He said God's hsnd wes heavy upon him. There are men In Portland upon whom the hand of God Is heavy because of unconfesaed sin. "I wonder. If there were a cleaning up In our churches, what would hap pen. Saul was told to do a certain thing, and he compromised, and It cost him his throne. Ananias and In these days a great deal Is said about the Ananias Club he lied; said he had put all his money Into the common fund of the church. But he didn't do It. He kept some of It for himself. "The greatest blessing today la not having a big bank account, a big au tomobile or a big mansion. It comes to the man who knows he is right with God. "We who are In the pulpit sometimes say things that are sharp. We want to awaken men to the danger of de-i laying this matter too long. You wouldn't give 2 cents for the doctor who knew In his heart you were a goner, and who would talk "hot air' and give you a prescription to quiet i your nerves.
