IYciley Points Panzer of procrastination In Obtain ing Saltation. CONSIDER PLANS TO REMODEL TWO PARKS St. Louis Landscape Artist Presents IVciv Outlines to Park Board for Consideration. 'Tomorrow,'' was the subject of Hew W. II. Freshley. pastor of the First Evangelical church, Friday evening in his sermon at the City Rescue mission on Jefferson blvd. In part he said: "God's word says 'today is the day of salvation. Today if you hear His voice, harden not your hearts.' The soft couch upon which you may lie down tomorrow may be your last rest ing place. Today you can be saved. Tomorrow you may go to the judg ment. "For 4 30 years the Israelites were in Egvpt and most of this time they were slaves. They suffered untold cruelties at the hands of the Egyp tians. This powerful nation was try ing to crush them. The Lord had promised Joseph that they should be freed, but Feneration after generation and year after year passed and God did not come to deliver them. But God never forgets. "When the cup of Ksryfotlan wick edness was full, God appeared under the leadership of Moses. Moses aked Pharaoh the king to let the people go but ho refused and answered by making their burdens harder. Tho 10 plagues were brought from Egypt as a punishment. After the plagues had begun Pharaoh came to Moses and asked to have the plagues re moved and Moses asked him 'When shall I pray the Lord to remove these plagues?' Pharaoh said 'Tomorrow.' We say that is not good sense. Why not today? Why be pestered with them another day "The plagues are types of sin. Paraoh is a type of the sinner. Just as sin was everywhere so is sin and the sinner." Come And Sc? Us.
