If All Americans Were Christians Crime Would Be Less in Dull Times “Billy” Sunday preached at noon at the Brandels theater to men only on “The Inner Wall.”” His text was taken from Ephesians 1ii: 14-16: “For this cause I bow my knee unto the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, that He would grant you to be strength- ened with might by His Spirit in the inner man.* The pages of ancient history tell of a certain Dutch city bombarded by the Spaniards, The city was surrounded by a great wall which gave the Dutch in- habitants a sense of security; and against this wall the Spaniards hurled their battering rams in persistent as- sault. Finally, to the consternation of the Dutch, the wall showed signs of breaking. The Dutch called a council of war and decidéd to erect another wall inside of the! one which was weakening. All able-| bodied men were drafted into service for the purpose of building the inside wall | Inch by inch it arose, and just as the, last brick was lald upon the inner wall| the outer wall gave way. Through a breach in this outer wall the swarthy Spaniards rushed, but they were stopped by the inner wall; thelr batter- ing rams fell to no avail; the inner wall was impregnable. Now it is the business of Christianity to erect in the inner life of the individual | & wall which will render that individual | safe from the assaults of the enemies of | the soul. Our Welj Being Constantly Attacked ‘We live our life in the enemy’s country —we are constantly surrounded by ene- mies to our well being. To use Bunyan's figure, the city of man's soul is con. stant)y bombarded at the five gates of the senses: 1. Physical-Disease is constantly seek- ing to obtaln a strangle hold through con- sumption, pheumonia, cancer, paralysf bacteria in the alr, germs in the water and in the milk. 2. Mental—What we have once seen we can never “unsee.” The bonks we read, the pictures we gaze upon, the things we hear, these all pertain to the mental. 3. Moral—Organized soclety has seen that the Individual is surrounded by these enemies; organized soclety has seen that the individual needs protection, and has buiit around the individual certain outer ‘walls to protect him from the enemies of his physical, mental and moral well-be- ing. Some of these walls are: 1 Legislation—The laws of soclety act as a constant protection to the individual. They specify what are his rights, level a penalty for violation. It would be hard sledding for the individual if the laws of soclety were rubbed from the books and every one left a law unto him- self, Education Against Ignorance. 2 Education—Organized soclety has seen that ignorance is soll in which seeds of badness grow with alarming rapidity, 80 it has set about the erection of a wall of education about the individual. All things being equal, the educated man should be better able to protect him. selt against the enemies of the body, the mind and the soul, and the Individual is much safer when surrounded by the outer wall of education 3. Business—Organized soclety has statute | who have risen to acts of sublime heroism when prompted by love of country. Now, I yield to no man in my gratitude to organized soclety for building the outer walls about the individual. It is easfer to follow the path of duty, to listen to the volce of right In a land where these walls surround the individ- ual. I feel like taking off my hat to organized soclety for the real service it has rendered the cause of religion by erecting these outer walls of legislation, education, business, home and patriotism; but there is no one who does not know that there are exigencles in life when no one or all of these walls can render the individual safe. (a) Take legislation, for instance. In spite of our statute books every day there is an innumerable company of men who throw law and order to the winds and outrage decency and honor. Over 10,000 were committed in this country last year. Over 60,000 girls were sold as white slaves during the year. For them at least the outer wall of legislation breaks down. Education Without Purity, (b) Educat‘on. Education has the power to develop man's abilities, but there are innumerable cases where It fails to direct those abilities. (¢) Business. There is no doubt that poverty causes crime with some, just as crime causes poverty. There is no doubt that being without a job 18 a severe strain on man's morality. If abject poverty tends to eat away the foundation of moral powers, there seems {to be a sort of acid in money and pros- | perity that eats the virtue and purity out of many who possess it. (@) Home. With all the moral jnflu- j ence of the home every copy of the morn- ing paper adds to the sickening list of men and women.who violate all the sacred Precious’ Text BEE: OMAHA, WED | Behoo! of Commerce s head of the re- “Promisel of GOd Are Great and of Sunday Sermon Promises of God are great and precicus, sald “Billy"” Sunday in his afwrnoon ser- mon at the Tabernacle yesterday: Text: “Whereby are given unto us ex- ceeding gieat and precious promises; that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corrup- tion that is in the world through lust 11 Peter 1:4. world was found a few years ago South Africa, in the Kimberiy i | The dlamond was as large as your first and weighed one and one-half pound was perfect in color and luster and was presented to King Edward.

Then he told thent there were teakettles England that could draw fifty oxcarts. Of course, they dldn’t belleve it, but years later when he took one of them back with him and he saw a locomotive pull out a train, he sald, “Big teakettle, steav oxcart.” He belleved it when he saw it, but he couldn’t understand it by merely hearing about It 8o we cannot understand what exceed- ing great and precious really means. The best God says is only & hint at the real expressions fall “~r short of reallzat.on. The promises are great because they are from God to his children. The promise of the father to his chiid should be the most sacred promise known. You can make promises and forget them, but God can't forget; it he did he wouldn't be God. All of the promises are based on the four geat pillars of religion. Justice, by which all must be treated alike if they all fulfill the condition. Grace, by which God cannot forget. Truth, which never changes, God is the same yesterday, today and forever. Power, by which he is able to do anything ke promises. The promises have back of them the throne of God. God's Promises. The Bible has promises running all through it and God wants you to ap- propriate them for your use. They are like & bank note. They are of no value unless used. You might starve to death if you have money in your pockets but won't use it. So the promises may not do you any good because you will not use them A preacher went to call on a woman who was In poverty. He asked her if she didn't have any children. She sald she had a son. He asked her if the son didn't write to her, if he never sent her anything, and she sald he did, a lot of picture papers. He asked to see them and she showed him a vase stuffed full of bank notes. They did her no good be- cause she couldn't use them. It's like that today. People sit down and won't glve God a chance. If you have never used the Bible promises as they were meant to be used they have never done you any good. Use the Fromises. General Booth heard of a man in great want and he sent him a check. The man was astonished and said he would have that framed and hung up on the wall. He was foolish. It would never do him any good unless he used it. Use the promise: The Lord tells you to use the promises. Millions don't know the promises are in the Bible. In reading Exodus how many times you lose patience with those thick- headed Israelites. God was continually promising to care for them and yet many were living on the hillside on sage tea and greens when they might just as well have been up to their knees in clover. They wouldn't take God's word and too many are just as slow today, things that bind them to, home. They sin against themselves, agalnst thelir children and against soclety. Every day | the outer wall of the home as protect- ing force breaksg down. (e) Patriotism. Although in the time of war patriotism does Inspire small men to big action, yet in times of peace when ! the smell of powder is not in the air, and | the rattle of the drum is still, men find {It easy to fail m their duty, and in a thousand and one ways, by low ideals or dishonest practices, commit treason to their country in innumerable ways. There are more Benediot Arnolds than history jrecords. Every day, therefore, the outer wall of patriotism breaks down. Christian Character Impregnable. 1 want now to pay a tribute to that one inner wall of genuine Christian char- acter which will stand when all these outer walls have crumbled into dust. If every man in America was a genuine Christian, we: could dispense with the outer wall of legislation, for it is be- cause the principles of Christignity are not accepted and lived out that we need police, jalls, penitentiaries, electric chairs and scaffolds, If every man in America was genuine | Christian, even though we lacked the { wall of education, it would be found that | the ignorance of a man who is a Chris- tian would not be as friitful a soll for the seeds of wickedness as the ignorance of the man who is not a Christian. If every man in America was a genuine Christian our perlods of unemployment seen that an idle mind is the devil's workshop. It has seen when men have no business moorings, when they are without & job, many of the baser things come to the surface. Organized soclety has as its ideal an economic order in which every able-bodied man or woman can reach that ideal. Handcuffs Base Elements. 4 The Home—Organized society has Been that the influence of wife and chil- dren is onme of the most wholesome in- fluences of life. The stability of soclety, virtue of womanhood and honor of man- hood depends upon the development of a good home life. The fact is, the love of a good, pure woman handcuffs the baser elements in the individual and calls into being the noblest qualities, which until then have been asleep. There is no question but that society and the individual are better off for this outer wall called the home. & Patriotlam—Organized soclety has seen that the love of one's country is a wholesome force in the life of &n Indi- vidual. History ls full of stories of men would not be productice of crime as they are now. The inner wall of Christianity helps a man more than anything else! to hold his ruder true, when his sense of morality is being strained to the breaking point by temptations which come in the hour of poverty or want. If every man In America was a_genuine Christian we could beat our swords into pruning hooks, our bayonets into plow- shares, sink our battleships, spike our guns and hang a “For Rent” sign over every brewery, over every saloon, and houses of shame would become houses of virtue. No one of these walls, nor all without the inner wall of Christianity, can render the nation or the individual safe from the enemies which attack us on all sides, but the inner wall of the religion of Jesus Christ can protect him even though every other wall be torn down. On the Rock of Ages founded What can shake my sure repose! By Salvation’s walls surrounded, I can laugh at all my foes! (Copyright, 1915, W. A. Bunday.) when they might be living In blessings. When you are in trouble, instead of golng into the Bible to find a help you let them grow and they grow faster than Jonah's gourd vine. You are afrald to step out om the promises. Like a man who went to cross a river on the ice and after he had gotten a little way he thought he heard a crack and he fell on his knees and prayed and began to crawl to shore, and as he ar- rived he heard a noise and looked behind to see a six-horse team with a wagon- load of pig iron coming after him. Whatever Ye Shall Ask. Let's look at some of the promises: “Whatever ye shall ask through faith in my name that shall surely be given you.” Or if you ask anything of the Father in my name I'll do it. It some of you would receive such a promise from John D. Rockefeller or Andrew Carnegle, you'd sit up all night writing out checks to be cashed in in the morning. And yet you leave the Bible lay on the table and go to hell. “All power is given to Me In heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore unto all pations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, and lo I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” All power is given to Me. I'll be with you and yet some never lift their hands. You say you can't do everything. No. But you're not lifting your finger to do anything.

"'0ld worry came and rang my bell, And awakened me from slumber; 1 yelled, see here, old guy, move on, You'va knocked at the wrong number." The heaviest burdens of this world are those of tomorrow, which we take up today. An old man said, “I've had many troubles. but the worst were the ones that never happened.” An old woman got up to give testimony one day and sald, “I feel bad when I feel good, be- causo I know I shall soon feel bad again.” ‘The Lord has an awful time with some of you.

The trouble with most thin folks who wish to gain welght is that they Insist on drugging thelr stomach or stuffing 1t with greasy foods: rubbing on useless “flesh creams,” or following some fool- ish physical culture stunt, while the real cause of thinness goes untouched. You cannot get fat until your digestive tract properly assimilates the food you eat. There Ia a preparation known to rellable druggiats almost everywhere, which seem- ingly embodies the missing elements needed by the digestive organs to help them convert food into rich, fat-laden blogd. This preparation Is called Sarwol and much remarkable testimony is given as to its successtul use in flesh bullding. Sargol, which comes in the form of a small non-injurious tablet, taken at meals and mixing with the digesting food, tends to prepare its fat, flesh and muscle build- ing elements so that the blood can read- |1ly accept and carry them to the statved portions of the body.
