<TITLE>04. Par 33-43</TITLE>L-33   I would like for you to, if you have your Bibles; and many times, people like to attend the service, and then listen to what the minister reads. Because, after all, the Word of God is Truth. There is no other truth can take Its place. It's all Truth. The Word is God, It's God in letter form.

L-34 God is going to judge the world someday by Jesus Christ. We know that.

L-35 He cannot judge it by a church. If it would, the Roman Catholic said, "He would judge it by our church," then what about the Greek Catholic? The Methodist say, "judge it by our church," then what about the Baptist? So you see there is too much difference.

L-36 There's got to be some standard. And if Jesus Christ is the Word, then He'll judge it by the Word. So whatever God has said in His Word, that's what we live by. "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."

L-37   Let us turn to Saint Mark, the 10th chapter, read just a portion of the Scripture.

L-38 And while you're turning, I would like to invite you to the auditorium. But I seen a saddening sight last evening, even when I got off the cab, or got out of the cab, rather, to go to the pulpit. There were literally hundreds walking down the street, many of them crying, because they were turned away from the auditorium. There was no room. We're sorry we couldn't find any place larger. But we hope, someday, if we can all come to see... if we don't, we'll see you just across the border, just on the other side.

L-39   Now 17th of the 10th chapter, beginning with the 17th, for just for a little text, to make a... to draw from it a conclusion of a context, that we trust that God will give us.
And when he had... was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeling down to him,... asking him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?
... Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but--but one, that is, God.
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and thy mother.
And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.
Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasures in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
And he was sad at this saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.

L-40   I want you to notice this young man, that he was not an atheist. He was supposed to be a believer. He was a church member. And I would like to speak this morning, for the next few minutes, I don't know just how long this is lotted, but I would like to speak to you on a few Scriptures I have written down here upon the subject of: Investments.

L-41   I would believe that any businessman ought to be interested in some good investment. And we are talking, I presume, to businessmen of this great, famous city, New York. And any man that can make an investment that would help him, he should be interested in it. Now we have all kinds of investments. But the investment I'm asking about this morning... You might have made many good ones, but this is the best one you could make. I, as I have just quoted, I am an agent for Eternal Life.

L-42   It's not a good business to gamble, take chances. The... our brother here was just speaking a few moments ago, on, he was going to the places and gambling. That, that's taking a chance. A good sound-thinking businessman won't do that. He shouldn't do it, anyhow. It's a gamble. You--you could go broke, at once, with such a--a thing as that.

L-43 And then a good sound businessman, or a good sound thinking businessman, would never invest in some "get rich over night," some unestablished firm, to make an investment. He, he would never do that, a good sound-thinking businessmen, as I believe you are, and women.
