There Is a sense In which we live

that are closed to the message of
love and of salvation found in the

without the door and knocks. He
Is knocking at "The Door of Tour
Heart" And that is the Sunday
evening topic at the Church of
Christ Morning subject "How
Are the Heathen Judged?" Bible

and cummin and left undone "the
weightier matter of the law, faith
nnd justice and mercy." To illus
trate the absurdity of their conduct
He said that they "strained out the
gnat and swallowed the camel."
No one can read the account and
doubt that Jesus very justly con
demned those Pharisees who observ
ed the little things and then claim
ed righteousness while neglecting
the things most worth while- But
we believe that they were no more
to be condemned than those of our
own day who aie pursuing a similar
course.
Here are some of the little things
which men ought to do but which
are of comparatively small import
ance after all. A man may pay his
debts and treat his family well, be
a good neighbor, and a moral man
and so forth without being at all
acceptable in the sight of God.
Why? Because these are simply to
keep us on good terms with our
fellow man.
What are the "weightier mat
ters"? In order to be acceptable
in the sight of God we must first of
all be on good terms with God. We
must be on good terms with our
fellow man and be sure but that
will take care of itself if we will
first get on good terms with God.
But how? And what of those
weighty matters? "Believe on the
Lord Jesus and thou shalt be sav
ed." Acts 16:30. "He that believeth
not the Son shall not see life." John
3:36. "Except ye believe that I am
He ye shall die in your sins." John
8:24. "He that believeth not shall
be condemned." Mark 16:16. "With
the heart man believeth unto right

SWALLOWING CAMELS.
(Summary of a sermon preached by
the pastor at the Church of Christ,
Sunday evening, March 4.)
Jesus was very harsh in his con
demnation of the Pharisees as re
corded in the twenty-third chapter
of Matthew. He called them "hyp
ocrites," "fools" and "blind." He
said that their estimate of values
was absurd in the extreme. It was
because they tithed mint and anise

fession is made unto salvation."
Rom. 10:10. Belief in Jesus as the
Son of God is then regarded as a
weighty matter in the New Testa
ment scriptures and linked with
this is obedience to the commands
of Christ See one scripture out of
the many. II Thess. 1:8: "Render
ing vengeance to them that know
not God and obey not the gospel of
the Lord Jesus."
Believing and obeying the gospel
then are the weightier matters ne
glected by the self styled man. "Not
by deeds done in righteousness
which we did ourselves but accord
ing to his mercy he saved us by the
washing of water and the renewing
of the Holy Spirit" Titus 3:5. Those
then who depend upon their own
good deeds and refuse the offer of
mercy and pardon which can be
had through belief and obedience
will come to the Judgment as the
Pharisees of old condemned as cam
el swallower8, as fools and blind, as
having done the little things and
left undone the weightier matters
of God's word.
