But I want; to tell you that Christ's teachings are utterly at variance with such hypocritical nonsense. If a man is not a Chris- tian during the weekday, he is not a Christian on Sunday. If a.

And so, my brotiu-r,j if you want to consocrute your churches to God, you must also consecruto your stores and factories, your advertising columns, ‘ your commercial buyers, your ('iorks' salaries and your rlraymcn's wugvs. When some one asked George Whim- fleld whether a certain man was a Christian or no. the grout (“'Lliig‘l‘l', ist answered : “Iiow can I tell ?
