i have noticed that those who arr-
brought info the kingdom of God through
revivals have more persistence and more
determination in the Christian life than
those who come in under a low state of
religion. Pl‘llple born in an ir‘ohouso may
live, but they will never get over the. void

that there is so "illi'li oxhitumont that peo

them. People who in this day do not like
revivals nevertheless have not words to

whose names come to my mind. The
strength of their intellect and the holiness
of their lives make me think they would
not have anything to do with that which
was ephemeral. Oh. it is easy to'talk
against revivals.

A man said with. Dawson: “l llkeyoui

begins, 1 always go up into the gallery
and look down, and i am disgusted."

The Downward Road.

Oh. I am afraid to say anything against
revivals of religion. or against anything
that looks like them, because I think it
may be a sin against the Holy Ghost, and
you know the Bible says that a sin against
the Holy Ghost shall never be forgiven.
neither in this world our the world to
come! Now, if. you are a painter, and l
speak against your pictures. do i not speak
against youi if you are an architect, and
I speak against a building you put up, do
i not speak against you? if a revival be
the work of the Holy Ghost. and l speak
against that revival, do] not speak against
the Holy Ghost? And whosoever speaketh
against the Holy Ghost, says the Bible, he
shall never be forgiven, neither in this
world our in the world to come. i think
sometimes people have made a fatal mic
take in this direction.

\and public immorality.

Do you know where Aaron Burr started
on the downward road? It was when he
was in college. and he became anxious
about his soul and was about to put him-
self under the influences of a revival, and
a minister of religion said: “Don't go
there, Aaron; don‘t go there. That's a
place of wildliro and great excitement. No

The Real Ilimeulty.

When i am speaking oi excitement in
revivals. of course! do not mean tempo
rary derangement oi the nerves, 1 do not
mean the absurd things oi which we have
read as transpiring sometimes in the
church of Christ, buti “wall on intoili-
gent. intense, all absorbing agitation of
body, mind and soul in the work or spir-
lt‘uai escape and spiritual rescue.

Now I come to the real, genuine cause
of objection to revivals. Thiit is the cold-
ness of tho objector it is the sorrel. and
hidden but unmistakable cause in every
case, a low slate of religion in tho heart.
Wide awake. conemratedniseful Christians
are never afraid of revivals. it is the spir‘
ltually dead who are afraid of having their
repair-her molmir-ii. The chief agents at
the devil during a great awakening are al-
ways unconverted professors oi religion

when (‘hlr-ago was on fire might some one
have gone out with a garden water pot
trying to extinguish it.

The rliillrully is that when a revival ho-
glnt in a church it begins at so many
points that while you have doused one
anxious soul with apail oi cold water there
am 500 other anxious souls on fire. Uh,

Did you ever hear that there was a non
vontlrui once held among the icebergs in
the A relics? it acorns that the summer was
mining on, and the sun was getting hot-
ter and hum-r. and there was danger that
the whole loeilolrl would break up and flow
away Ho the tallest. and the coldest, and
the broadest of all the icebergs. lhii very
king oi the Motion, stood at the head of
the convention. and with a gavel of ion
smote on a table of ice calling the l‘.iillVi‘ll~
tion to order lint the sun kept growing
in intensity of limit. and the south wind
blew atrringer and stronger. and soon all
the leellalrl began to grind up. ieetmrg
against iceberg, and to flow away, The
first resolution passed by the convention
was. "Resolved. that we abolish the sun."

llut the rum would not be abolished.
The boat at the sari grew greator and
greater until after awhile the very king
or the icebergs began to peraplrc under the
glow. and tho atnallar icebergs labour,
and the cry was: “Too much creltbtneat.
ilnlavl Orderl“ Then the whole body.
the whole field, oi lcc began to ilow out.
and a thousand voices began to ask:
“Where are we going to now? Where
an we floating to? We will all break
to pieces.” iiy this time the icebergs
had reached the gulf stream, and they
were invited into the booms of the At-
lantic omen. The warm tan is the
eternal spirit. The icebergs arc frigid

of the parrlouing and syaipathlsing God.

icouid prove to a demonstration that
without revivals this world will never be
converted, and that in 100 or 200 yearn
without revivals Christianity will be prec
tically extinct. It is a matter oi astound
lngarithmctic. in each of our modern
generations there are at least 82,000,000
children. Now add 82,000,000 to the
world's population, and then have only
l00,000 or 200,000 converted every year,
and how long before the world will be
saved? Never—absolutely never!

During our war the president of the
United States made proclamation for 76,;
000 troops. Some of you remember the
big stir. But'tho King oi the universe to
day asks for 500000.000 more troops than
are enlisted, and we want it done softly.
imperceptibly, gently, no excitement, one
by one! ..

You are adry goods merchant on a large
scale, and i am a merchant on a small
scale. and i come to you and want to buy
1,000 yards of cloth. Do you say: "Thank
you. Hi sell you 1,000 yards of cloth.
but l'li sell you ‘20 yards today. and 20 to.

takes me six months l'll sell you the
whole 1,000 yards. You will want as long
as that to examine the goods. and i'll
want as long as that to examine the credit.
and, besides that, 1,000 yards oi cloth are
too much to sell all at once?" No: you do
not say that, You take mointc the count
log room. and in ten minutes the whole
transaction is consummated. The fact is
We cannot atlord to be tools ill anything
but religion!

'i‘hat. wry merchant who on Saturday
afternoon sold me the 1,000 yards of cloth
at. one x-troko the next Sabbath in church
will stroke his beard and wonder whether
it would not be better for 1.000 souls to
come straggling along for ten years. in-
stead of boiling in at one service.

We talk a good deal about the good times
that are coming and about the world's rd
doinpiion How long before they will
come? There is a man who says 000 years.

is some one more confident who says in 00
years What, (-0 years? Do you propose
to let twogvnemtlons pass oi! the stage
before the world is Converted?

A You Enterprise.

Suppose by some extra prolongation of
human life at the next 60 years you
should walk around the world. you would
not in all that walk find one person that
you recognize. Why? All dead or so
changed you would not know them in
other words. if you postpone the redemp
tion of this world ior 50 years, you admit
that the majority of the two whole gener-
ationn shall good the stage unblesaed and
unsaved. i tell you the church of Jesus
Christ cannot consent to it. We must
pray and toil and have the revival spirit.
and we must struggle to have the whole
world saved before the men and women
now in middle life pass off.

"Oh," you say. "it is too vast an enter-
prise to be conducted in so short a time!"
Do you know how long it Would take to
save the whole world if each man would
bring another? it would take ten years
iiy a calculation in compound interest,
each man bringing another, and that one
another. anrl that one another. in ten years
the whole wr-rld would be saved. if the
world is not, saved in the next ten years. it
will be the fault of the church of Christ.

is it too much to export each one to
bring one? Some of us must bring more
thrui one, for some will not do their duty.

ashamed to meet my God in judgment if.
with all my opportunities of commending

revival spirit. The book and line fishing
