It says, Be aimed, or dip Satan assaults.'The weld • teriepte, Death advances. Judgment burets up- onethe•s, and an eternity from which thou shalt not escape. One strain of :that trumpet is this, "It is appoint - e.4 unto men ones to die, and after death the judgment." Another strain, e" Who or xer can dwell amidst devour-. :leg flames.? Who of int can lie down in evereitsting burnings?" " Beware, • - • • • - beware 1" : • The Gospel trumpet is one of ea - emit.. During the latetaver you heard the trumpet calling from the recruit- ing 'stations; and at its callthe peo- ple flocked tothe standard Of the Government, and went out to battle. In a' spiritual sense war is declared. Who is on the Lord's side? Are ,you ready to answer the 'call of the trtun- pet ? There Ur no neutral' ground. You are •for God or fo Satan, for light or for darkstme for heaven or for ,hell. Some theologians take four on five vol- umes in which to state thole iillitious belief; 1 tell you all my theology in one sentence -Jesus Christ -take him and live, refuse hire and die. Soraetinaes, by mismanagement, are,. giment will get' in between the two opposing hosts, and be cut to pieces by both sides. Will you stand half -way be- ,tvreen the right side and the wrong side and take shot of both hots, or will you mine under our standard?' You will finally wish you had, for wn shall gain this war.
