THE SUNDAY CHRISTIAN
Will going to church on Sunday and
being’ a Christian just that day l>e j
enought to purchase a ticket for that ,
glorious concert that is promised to i
them that have been faithful over a
few things until death?
The good hook speaks of the right
eous scarcely being saved. Does that j
mean the Sunday C hristian, or does it
mean the genuine seven day Christian? !
Can we go to church on Sunday, drop
a penny or nickel in the contribution
box and buy enough religion to last
us till the next Sunday? If the good
Lord is keeping a ledger and gives
us Sunday < Christians credit for all of
our good deeds, and charges '.us up
with all of our bad ones, He will sure
ly bring us out six days in debt every
week. So the good Lord will have us
charged up at the end of 11HI8 with 2(i0
days of bad service. I do not think
that all. that are church members are
Deacon Joneses. The good old min
ister was preaching to his flock and
was exhorting them to live the right
way. Calling off the diffent classes
of evil-doers, he at last asked the
drunkard where he stood. Old Uncle
Jake Tubwater loved his dram and
hearing the preacher ask for the drunk
ard, stood up. When the preacher
got through with Jake he sat down,
but the preacher went on asking the
other classes of evil-does where they
stood. After a bit he asked the
hypocrite where he stood. The old
toper pointed to old Deacon Jones
and says to him, “Now Deacon Jones
you get up, I got up when he called
me.” '
I think there is too often a few
Deacon Jones that are a dawback to
the church. The rush for gain with
with the most of us is going to be our
blunder in the world. Industry is
good, and right lazy man or lady
makes a very poor Christian or church
member, but we worship the almighty
dollar too much and lose sight of
everything else. We all want too
much toll. We are like old Muse
Smith who owned a little grist mill
over on Snake ( reek. Old Mose fell
sick and went off in a trance and when
he got back to where he could talk his
friends aked him how things appeared
to him. Pie told them that he died and
went to Heaven and all of tin1 Smiths
was there to stand trial for their con
duct on earth. The first called for
trial was Ben Smith. The good Lord
asked him what he had l>een on earth he
said he had l>een a miller, ana was
then asked if he ever took too much
toll. He suid he did “ven the vauter
vas low and the stones vas dull he vod
take a little hit too much toll.” The
good Lord told him that was wrong
and he would have to stand over on
the left with the goats. So the trial
of all the Smits went on and all of
them plead guilty to the charge of
taking too muce toll. Old Mose came
last and plead- guilty to taking too
much toll and the good Lord asked
him what he did with this toll. He
said he gave it to the preacher and to
the poor. The good Lord said to
Uncle Mose that was good, he could
stand to the right with the sheap, but
it was might tight squeze.
Now I think it will be a pretty tight
squeze with some of the Sunday Chris
tians. It will pay to get a seven day
Christian ticket. Pure and undefiled
religion is to visit the sick, not alto
gether the rich that are sick, for the
poor get sick some times and suffer
for attention within a block of some
of these Sunday »'hristian, hut if it is a
Christian that holds a full seven da\ |
ticket he or she will find their way to !
the siek room, let it lie a log cabin or
a beautiful mansion.
Dili, Dad's Daddy.
