SERMON'S TEXT
Great Congregation nt Baptist
. Clnircli Hears Dr. aPlmcr Talk on
Men Who Believes His Good Moral
Character Is Enough.
"BILLY" PAPKE IS THROUGH WITH BOXING GAME
fl
The pront congrcpntion nt tbe
Itnptist ehureli Tluirsdiij night whs
i1ooily impi-ossed hy the sermon de
livered hy Dr. Hay Pnlmcr on : "The
bod loo short nnd the covering too
narrow." Isn. SS:20.
Prof. Forest Kdmemlcs smir an
impressive polo.
A number of people enino forward
to confers Christ.
The prencher said in part:
The man who is trusting Jo his
pood moral character, nlone, will find
the "bed too short." All we know
about the plan of salvation, wo gvl
from tho Bible. I will give any man
ton dollars who will show me where
God in the Biblo ever promises to
save nnjbody except through Jous
Cl'risr.
T tun n lodge man. Godhless my
brethren of nil tho lodges but, oh
1 find so many men who hope to be
saved because they are god lodgo
men. Now, brother, the lodge is a
grand thing for this world, but it
can't give n man n pass jort to hea
ven. In every lodge room of this
country on tho central stand you will
find the Holy Bible. All your work
is based on thnt book of God. Lis
ten, does that book anywhere tell you.
you can bo saved without Christ!
Listen, thnt book says: "Who so
ever shall confess mo before men
him will I nlso confess beforo my
Father." It declares ngain "Mnrvel
not that I said'unto thee, ye must be
born again." Jesus said: "I am the
way, the trutb and the life"! no man
'cometh unto tho oFthcr but by me."
No, no, brother, n good moral life
is an excellent thing but it will not
save you, your good works cannot
save you.
"Well, Mr. Preacher," you nsk
how then are you to be sned?" Well,
mybrothc'r, I assure wou I have no
hope of being saved by ray works and
yet, with Paul I have somewhat to
boast I became a Christian at six
teen years' 'of age, entered tho minis
try in two months thereafter, and I
have- given my whole life to Jesus
my Lord, and to tbe cause of human
ity, and yet listen, I hnve no hopo
of being saved 'because of anything
I ever sacrificed or suffered for
Christ, my Lord. Oh, I realize thnt
I have been sof ar from being per
fect in all these years yes, I know
I am only a poor sinner snved by
grace. My constant plea before the
throno is: "The blood, the blood," is
all my plea.
"Hallelujah -' it clonnscth me."
Oh, I full before tho cross and cry
with tho immortal Whittier:
"I bow my forehond in the rust.
And veil mine eyes for shame,
And plead in trembling self-distrm.t
A prayer without n claim;
No offering of mine own I hnve,
Nor works to prove my faith,
I can but give the gifts Ho gave,
And plead his lovo for love.
I dimly guess by blessings known,
Still greater out of sight,
And with the chastened psnlmist own
Thy judgments too are right;
And if my heart and flosh nrc weak
To bear some untried pain,
A bruised reed lie will not break,
But comfort and sustain.
I know not what the future hath, "of
nmrvel or surprise,
Assured nlono that life or death,
His morcy underlies;
And so beside tho silent sea,
I ynjt tho muffled onr.
No barm from Him cnu conic p me,
On ocean or on shore.
I know not where his islnnds
Lifo their frondod palms in air,
I only know I can not drift
Beyond his lovo and care;
And liroti 0 Lord to whom urc known
Thy peoplo as they bo,
Forgive mo if too close I lean
My human head on thee."
Again tho man who lies down on
the bed of uulvorsnlUm will find the
bed too short.

of the gninc, is now on bis way home, having decl.uvd himself through

vcrsalist but cannot. It is not
taught in the Bible, it is, not taught
in nature around. God has made
provision for the salvation of nil, but
fill will not comply with the condi
tions. Did you ever think that there
arc some things God fan not do? He,
cnu not lie. lie can not make a
thing round and square at the same
time. 'He can not make a thing white
and black at the same time. He can
not make two bodies occuoy the same
space at tho same time? Why? Be
cause these things would be contra
dictions of Himself and his inexora
ble laws. Listen, God can not niuko
a mnn holy against the man's will. It
logically follows that God chii not
make a innti happy so long as thnt
is a rebel airainsf God.
CONVICTS MAY WORK
At a recent meeting of the Ashland
commercial club President E. D
Briggs reported that he had been as
sured by the proner authorities that
when spring opens f.iin twentv-tive
to thirty convict will be :i-ynct' to
work on the Klamath Falls road and
.substantial improvement of tint
highway is expected as n result of
this phfh.
Tho groat need of improvement on
thn? road, which had u I ready been
put in excellent shape o.v the Klam
ath county side of the li;'i, has been
urged for some time. Tho road is one
whose improvement means much for
both Klamath and Jackson counties
and Mr. Briggs' reort was received
with great satisfaction.
If you want to find the best possi
ble place to live rafter your contem
plated removal study the "to lot"

MRS7 LARAM0RE
TELLS TROUBLES
Lady In Goodwater Describes Her
Distressing Experience and
Tells How She Was
Finally Relieved.
Goodwater, Mo. "Ever since 1 was
a little girl," says Mrs. Riley Laramore,
"I was a great sufferer from dyspepsia.
1 suffered misery after eating, and had
terrible heartburn. . f
I thought I had to suffer this way as;
long as 1 lived, but when I began to take ;
Thedtord's Black-Draught, in small,
doses, every night, the heartburn was all
gone in a few days, and I could eat
without distress.
I took two small packages in all, and
although that was some time ago, the
dyspepsia has not returned.
I speak a good word for Thedford'i
Black-Draught whenever 1 have the op
portunity." If eating causes distress, we urge you
to try Thedford's Black-Draught. II
cleanses the system, helps the stomach tc
digest its food, regulates the bowels, and
stimulates the liver.
It acts gently and fs without bad after
effects. Try it Price 25c.
