I'd see to it that facts and figures were placed in their 'minds and hands that would make it possible for them to put up a real sales talk" Among other things, this would include the growth of the town in the last five years and why, population of trade zone and the income derived from the trade zone, historical facts, high lights -of interest, and industries: If the town had anything that no other town had, I'd see that those people had all the details. In othei words, I'd start right now to place in the hands' of those whor come in contact with the potential customers of the town, sales ammunition to SELL the town. These people are the logical people to start with and through them thousands', of dollars can be made for every merchant: Every day there is a constant' flow of gold dollars going through your city, but no town, can expect to get an even break unless. they ask for it.

";lay unto thetas, As I live, suith the Lord Jehovah "--The prophet's hear- ers are expecting death, rout God, their God, is the . Ever -living, the Lord of 'life, and can gave life to His popple; so let thein not despond, "I havenp pleasure in the(der th of the wicked."—Why should he have? Did not God make all men? How can He have anything but the deepest grief when one of His children falls into eternal death? "But (I seek rather) that the wicked turn from his way and live." -God is working ceaselessly for repentance.: In the fulness of time God; would die on the cross to produce repentance and bring si:naicrs from , death to life. "Turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, 0 House of Israel?" "A yearning tenderness here manifests itself, still seeking; notwithstanding all that has taken place, the return 3o f those who sur- vived to the way of peace. But with that tenderness, what a stern and unflinching holiness! "And thou, son of ratan,' say unto the children of thy people."—That is, to thy people. "The- righteousness of the righteous shall not deliverhim in the day of his transgression." Of course this is not to say that one's righteous life goes for naught. It has set up a wall against Satan; it has helped him to resist .temptation; and even if he sins, it has made hire readier to hear God's voice and re- turn' from his evil ways, his ;former, righteousness will not deliver hire front the penalty. "And as for the wickedness of the' wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneflr from his wickedness."—His THE FATHERS' SINS "Proclaim to each man that he is not bound to yield to the current of the stream! Bid him remember that he can resist the current! Revealto him the sceret of his own personality -its secret and it§ awfulness! Tell:. him to practice inflexibility, to prac- tice resistance to the waters! Bid him cultivate determination, revolution, unwaveringness of purpose! Teach him to train his will as he would train his eye! Exhort 'him to withstand by daily exercise the pressure of that ancestral stream of ,passion which has widened ;into a river andis deep- ening into a seal" THE WATCHMAN'S DUTY "So thou, son of man."—The title by .which, Ezekiel is addressed most frequently in his Book. "1 have set thee a watchman `unto the house of Israel."—There is great dramatic force `in this application of the rule to the prophet. "Therefore hear the word at my mouth, and .give them warning from me."-Ezekiel's duty was twofold: to listen to God, to speak ' to men. What he heard, and that only, he was, to pass on to t]ie people. This should be true of all religious teach- ers, and their work would be in- finitely more effective if they re - Trained from giving- out their own thoughts and confined themselves: to the thoughts of God. wicked, "When I say unto the � cl d, d: wicked man, thou shalt surely It is understood here as always, that God's condemnation is condi- tional; the sinner has a chance to repent, or the message would. have no force as a warning. "And thou dost not speak to warn the wicked. from his way."—Perhaps from cow- ardice, perhaps from sloth, perhaps because the teacher himself :is liv- ing an impure life, perhaps because his mind is clouded with philisophic doubts and he does not see the n re- sults . sults.. of sin. "That wicked an shall die in his iniquity."—Your failure to do your duty will' not be accepted as his excuse "But his blood will I require at thy hand." --If you had. spoken, you might have saved hint. If there is any one Christian duty which should have the pre-eminence iq our thinking, it is the imperative duty of personal evangelistic. "Nevertheless, if thou warn the. wicked of his way to turn from it:" Warn him to turn front it because it ]eads only to ruin and death. "And he turn not from his way." -Ezekiel implies throughout that he can turn from sin, he is not bound by; inevit- able fate, he is master of his des- tiny, in control of his will. He shall die in his iniquity,'' -The good inten- tions and the wisdom of the preach- er will not save the sinner; no one can force goodness :capon him, ' he must reach out after it. himself. "Gut thou hast delivered thy soul." The faithful watchman will not be con- demned because he fail to, ,profit by his faithfulness. TURN FROM YOUR EVIL WAYS "And thou, son of man, say unto the house of Israel,"—Ezekiel ,ekiel would remind the Jews in exile that in spite of their suis they were still children of the covenant made with Israel (Jacob), and in spite of, their dispersion they were of God's fam- ily. "Thus ye speak""—The prophet understood has people, and voiced their unspoken fears and longings, "Saying, Our transgressions and our sinsare upon us, and we pine away in them,"--Formerly,when the pro- phet had given them warning of itn- I:ending judgments, the people had refused ' to believe; now, however, when those. judgments had been realized, they despaired, and cried out, `If all this is in putiishtnent for our sits, how can there yet be any hope for us?" "How Hien can we live?" -What "life" and "death" sig- nify in Ezekiel ir,`• "not eo much life and death itt a future state, as life and death itt co,nttnt,nion with or seliar•ation frotn God—that idea of .stir Spcnd)6urWeatthn a the CANS', NATIO Augistese m Ye HE World's Annual Expo sition-a colossal achieve- ment where products are ex- hibited xhibited from the four corners of the earth; here, the greatest international sports program, featuring the FOURTH W MARATHON SW1 in two vents (Friday, August 23 for women, and Wednesday, August 28 for men and prize winners of women's race) for the world championship and, $50,000 purse.

"When I Say to the righteous, that he shall surely live."—Ezekiel ima- gines a righteous roanlistening to his preaching and taking to him- self the promise of life to the right- eous, and then presuming on that promise. "If he trust to his 'right- eousness, and commit iniquity, none of his righteous deeds shall be re tnemhered:"—In a way, it is worse for Lim ,than, if he had never been a r.ghteous man; he has sinned against. great light; he should have known better. "But ire his iniquity that he hath committed, therein shall he die;" —It would seem that Ezekiel had trade himself perfectly plain before; but like all wise teachers, he will drive the lesson home : by repetition and review. "Again, ai>hen I say unto the tvick- ecl, Thou shalt surely die."—Ezekiel imagines another' set of hearers, g wicked people, but people with a horrified sense of the sins they have committed, and terrified:by the stern Prophet's condemnation, "If he 'turn front his sin, and do' that whiCli' is lawful and right."—Turning from sin is repentance, upon which, with all his hopeful promise of divine for - money Ezekiel persistently in- $lets. `If the wicked restore the pledge." —The starving man pledged his gar- pare or his tools for the loan of money or of food at a'price far be- sacrifice, its value. There was a real self- sacrifiee, a proof of the power of the. faith that worketh by love,; when the creditor restored it. The prim ary duty, when a nian turned from evil; was, as far as in hnn lay, to overcome his' besetting sin and. make restitution for the past. Cont pare the words of the :Baptist (Luke 3:12-14), and'those • of 'Zacchaeus (Luke 19:8). "Give again that which he had taken by robbery." -Man's law, which cannot read the heart, may require in such a case more than the restitutidn; it may insist on a penalty for the infraction of the law, usually iniprisonrnent. "Walk in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity."—The "statutes of life" are the laws the Corn - keeping of which gives life; but Paul has shown sis how we need more thelawto keeping in of thernere e than P g give us eternal life, even the presence in our hearts of Hini Who is the Life. (Rom. 7•:10; s:3). "He shall ` surely live, he shall not die."—Ezekiel speak- ing by divine inspiration and in the words of Jehovah, asserts with con- fidence what he would . never' dare assert without such authority. "None of his sins that he hath cont-., nutted shall be remenatbered against trim."—Compare Ps; 25:7; 7:8; 137:7;, Isa. 64:9. How this forgetfulness like so mer aspects Testa - m i lecannot be ;rent terrchanyothtn,,, is pose bof Old c understood apart front. the New Tes- tament. There we learn that sin: is forgotten because in the acceptance of Christ by faith the old sinful per- sonality ceases to be. "He hath done. that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live."—With these em- phatic words Ezekiel reiterates his teaching and his message of hope for sinners; but he repeats it once more in the following verses, 17-20, as if be could not be too sure of being un- derstood, and he closes with the sol - emit words, "0 house of Israel, 1 will judge you every one after his ways."
