The Death of the Soul
Text: "The soul that sinneth, it shall die." -- Ezek. 18:4. It becomes the duty of the faithful ambassador of Christ, to speak, not only of the glories of heaven, but of the horrors of hell; not only of the felicities of the redeemed, but of the torments of the damned. I am to speak to you tonight o... Read More

Text: If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9.

The Man Who Died Too Soon
Text: "It is the man of God who was disobedient unto the word of the Lord." -- I Kings 13:26.

The Value of Tribulation
Text: "In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." John 16:33.

The Witness of the Spirit
Text: "The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit that we are children of God." Rom. 8:16. (R. V.) "Hereby know we that we dwell in him and he in us because he hath given us of his Spirit." 1 John 4:13. This is a very much neglected theme. In early Methodism it was one of the principal sloga...

Too Busy
"And He said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place and rest a while: for there were many coming and going and they had no leisure so much as to eat." Mark 6:31.

I have known Rev. E. E. Shelhamer for a number of years, and I have no doubt as to his ability and fitness for such a work. As Rev. H. C. Morrison has said, "He is strikingly original, truly scriptural, powerfully in earnest and reaches the heart of the people as few men we have heard, but always in the spirit of love and tenderness." Brother Shelhamer has a special gift of selection; he knows when and how to garner the best fruit He knows where the apples grow. With the splendid array of talent he has called to his assistance, we would have been surprised with anything but the best results.
