A year ago the papers were so full of scare lines and cartoons of Epedem- icGrip, that the local advertisers protested that people were being frightened away from the stores, threatening the holiday trade. The paperstook the hint and the next day it was "Grip under control, Grip snhsidiug, etc.” This year Grip is quite as prevalent but the papers are mum.

Five hundred attempts lat such contrivance have been made, ‘ but all ol them dead failures. Hear it! -~There is none other ni-me under heav- ien given among men whereby.we must :be saved" th~~n the name ol Jesus. The imighty swimmer of my text comes ;down off the beach of heaven and :through the breakers comes buffet-d ,and bruised, and reddeuing the wa veit i!rom his own lacerations,he cries: "Lay »liold ot my arm! Put your head on my lshculder! Hear the beating of my, lov- §ing heart! Hear ye saved, for I am Goo Jand there is no other!" 1 I want to persuade you to lay hold Soi this strong swimmer. "Nc, " you fsay, "it is always disastrous fora drown- ling ma'i to lay hold ol a swimmer.” 'There is not a river or lake but has a calamity resultant from the tact that .when a strong swimmer went out to save a sinking man the drowning man ,clutched him. threw his artns around him. pinloned his arms. and then they both went down together. When you are saving a n in the water. you do not want to sie up by his lace. You not want him to hold you while you take hold ot him. But. bl' ssed be God. Jesus Christ is so strong a swimmer hs comes not to our hack. but to our face, and he a»ks us to throw around him the arms ol our love and then promise to want to come up by his bask. Youhl are us tc the beach. and he will do it. Do not trust that plank ol good works. Do not tiust that shiveicd spar 'l your own righteousnest-. (.`hri~i ~ i.l. can give you sale transportation.

My brother you begin wrong. When a man is drowning. anda strong swim- mer comes out to help him. he s.ys to him "Now be quiet. Put your arm on my shoulder. but don’t struggle. don‘t try to help ycurseil, and l’ll take you ashore. The more you struggle and the more you try to help yourself the more you impede ma. Now be quiot,and I`ll take you ashore. ”Wh»n Christ. the strong swimmer, comes out to save a soul, the sinner says: ~-That’s right. I sm going to help him in the work ol my redemption. I am going to pray more, and that will help him, and I am going to weep sxtravagantlv over my sins, and that will help him."l “Never quit cerhinty for hops.” No, it will not. Stop your d-ting.
