You say religion causes insanity; I say you’re a liar! You tell the doctor, who says you need beer for your health that he’s a liar. Knowledge is of no benefit unless you use it. The world is being born into sin 20 to 1 faster than into the spirit of God. Religion doesn’t make anybody mad; it’s hell that makes men mad. Any fool can criticise; it needs neither brains nor heart to find fault. Churches in New York City have 50,000 less members today than a year ago. All denominations are failing to reach the multitude. You’re either a patriot or a traitor to God’s cause in this revival. The man with real red blood in his veins scorns the path of roses our modern churches have made to accept Christ. Criticism is the scales on which you weigh yourself. THE PREACHERS AND THE LAYMEN. Lots of churches will sidestep the man with two dollars, but who ever heard of a man with five hundred thousands being turned out of church. Lots of sermons today are nothing but a book review with a little religion tacked on the end. A poor sinner couldn’t find Jesus Christ in some of the churches with a searchlight. We’ve got too many preachers breaking their necks, trying to please the worldly gang that is going to increase their salaries. Nobody nowadays is afraid of God; the picture of Jesus Christ is fading from the world; the word of God has been discarded as being too crude for this enlightened age. Many churches are nothing but social clearance houses. There are lots of people in this city who would rather have their friends go to hell than be saved by my preaching. The best Christian will be the best citizen everywhere. An employer is a thief if he takes advantage of his employe by not paying him for the honest work he does; the employe is a thief who does not give honest toil for honest wages. Public opinion is not always competent to judge whether or not a man is worthy. BELSHAZZAR’S FEAST. _What the Bible says._ “Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords and drank wine before the thousands. “Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king and his princes, his wives and his concubines might drink therein. “They drank wine and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood and of stone. “In the same hour came forth fingers of a man’s hand and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace; and the king saw part of the hand that wrote. “Then the king’s countenance was changed and his thoughts troubled him so that the joints of his loins were loosed and his knees smote one against another. “The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans and the soothsayers. “Then came the king’s wise men; but they could not read the writing nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof.
