Dr. Hinson said that lor a long time het did not know what a lelt handed compliment was, until his choir lender exnlalned it one day. I received one of these leit-nanaea compliments last week," he said, "when man aajd to me. 'loll are not a loot, but you have a fool's religion. 1 have been thinking of what he said. nd decided to speak today on ine Religion of a Fool." " Atheism is the religion 01 tne 1001 said the clergyman. "We were taught school, 'Out of nothing, notning comes.' Thereiore, it is an ijnpua- ibllty to say, out of nothing every thing cornea Even when atheism ex presses itself in tha words. There is no God," It is loonsn. now ao you know there is no God? Have you trav eled the whole world over? Have you been among the stars? Cover these statements with scientific versatility, and they remain Just as foolish. "A man said to me, I reiuse to De- lleve anything I cannot aee. I asked im if he had seen his brains, and he hasn't asked about my health since. Do you understand how the same grass makes wool on the sheep, hair on the horse, and feathers on the goose? They tell me in these days mere is no actual fire in hell. But there's hell In the heart when a man s gone wrong. Even repentance will not wipe out the mtstakea of yesterday. I am member of the Baptist Church, but the man who comes and tells me he can wash away my disease with a little water, whether tt is in the basin or in the baptismal tank, or in the river. Is mistaken. But when Jesus comes to me and says, 'I will wash away those mistakes of the past,' I say, "But I am a bundle of evil habits, and I can't change my life." He replies, 'I will put my apirlt within you, caus ing you to love the right where you once loved the wrong. When he says. 1 will never leave you nor forsake you,' I feel I can face the Judgment and eternity.
