Walhalla, 8. C. Phone 37. The Deaths In Walhalla-A Pulpit Call. A solemn sermon was preached by Pastor G. H. Judd Inst Munday morning at the Walhalla Baptist church in con nection with the many sudden deaths that have occurred in the town lately. He said that God's voice was saying to all by these deaths, "Be ye also ready," and the only message he could deliver that morning waa the command in Amos IV:12: " PREPARE TO MEET THY GOD !" He said that one thing was cer tain beforo everyone, aud we knew not how soon-the inevitable meeting with God-and it was folly not to prepare for it. Some were living and acting as if there was no God. These had better give up their indifference towards Him; Borne wero fighting against God's com mando. These had better fight against their sins instead. Sin was the fuel of hoi), and many were busy adding more fuel to the awful fire. Tho soul's salva tion from siu and the "wrath to come" onght to bo tho most important business ouliand; all would dio either prepared or unprepared, and to some present eter nal j ?y or everlasting woe, might depend upon how tlioy treated God's message in the text rh.it morning. "Dolays aro dan gerous" in th?i all-important matter of the soul's salvation. He urged obedi ence to thc command of tho text, by heart-searching alone before God in tho light of eternity, and preparation by re pentance, and unloading tho conscience of sin at Calvary's Cross by confession, and theu personal appropriation by faith of tho great remedy God's love has pro vided there, relying on his word, "The blood of .11 sus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin." To prepare by being clothed in the righteousness of God "which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe." To prepare by daily walking in Christ as the way, who said "No man cometh unto tho Father hut by me." Then the com mand "Prepare to moet thy God" would sound as sweet as a command to a ohild away from home to get ready to go and meet a loviug parent. If any would not fiay any attention to God's warnings aud Hs command in the text they would have all eternity in a lost world in which to bewail thoir folly.
