UNSAVED PEOPLE

You may be cultured and refined, and have many things to commend you, but God places you in the same class with the most debauched sinners of the world, and brands you “guilty.” All in that company are not equally degraded, but all are equally guilty, for “there is no difference.” * What an awful picture presents itself as we think of- the great deluge, when the flood destroyed the entire race with the exception of Noah and those who were with him in the ark! Sinners who had lived good moral lives along with the most degraded and depraved drowned beneath' the mighty waters that swept them into Eternity. Only two classes, only two companies, those in the ark and those outside. It mat­ tered not whether their sin had been small or great, whether their lives had been, as people say, good or bad, they had disobeyed God; they had refused to be warned and to enter the ark of safety, and there was no other alterna­ tive. It was the ark or death. Oh! the weeping and wailing as they clambered to the highest mountain peak, only to find that their prayers and tears came all too late, and availed them nothing; there was no escape. All alike must perish. - They had neglected to enter the ark. Not because you have committed murder, not because your hands are red with blood, will your doom be sealed; not because of these or other things, but because you have neglected the only hope of escape offered you, must you perish. Have you not ignored the un­ answerable question, “How shall -we es­ cape, if we neglect so great salvation? (Heb. 2:3.) Listen! “The wicked shall be turned into hell and all na-

‘ YOU ABE GUILTY There are only two companies of peo­ ple in this world today, those'who are guilty and those who are not guilty, the saved and the lost, the sinners and the saints, and you, my friend, belong to one or the other. You are either a Christian or you are not a Christian. There' are only two ways, the Broad Way that leads to destruction and death, and the Narrow Way that leads to Heaven and Eternal Life, and you, my fellow traveler, are on the one or the other, the Broad or the Narrow, for there is no third-—no place between— you are either traveling to Heaven or to Hell. There are only two Masters, God and the Devil, and you are serving either one or the other, for “no man can serve two masters.” You are living for this world or the next, but not for both. Therefore, let me ask you, to which company do you belong? Where are you going? Whom are you serving? Over the one group is written the word “guilty,” and over the other “not guilty,” and “there is no difference.” It matters not whether you have been very good or very bad, whether you consider yourself a great sinner or a small sinner; you are either “guilty” or “not guilty,” and must stand with all the rest in your allotted place. You may have your name on the rolls of a thousand churches, you may be the most active worker in the church; or you may have spent years of your life in the penitentiary for some great crime, but it makes no difference; if you are unsaved you are guilty—the curse of God is resting upon you, and you be­ long to the company that is traveling on the Broad Way to destruction.
