A BRILLiANT SUNDAY SERMON BY j ?
GIPSY SMITH. a

Theme: Prevailing Trayer. v

n
New York City.?Gipsy Smith Is "V
conducting a mission in this city, and I E
Sunday he preached in the Fifth Ave- ' a
nue Presbyterian Church.
Gipsy Smith said: You will find the . s
text in Mark 9, beginning at the! E
twenty-eighth verse, "And when j'
Jesus was come into the house His j o
disciples asked Him privately, why o
could not we cast the devil out? Jesus a
said unto them, this kind can come
forth by nothing but by prayer"? <1
prayer! This is only one picture out. J
of the life of Jesus, just a little view a
of what was going on all the time j ti
with Him. You who are students of j ii
this book, remember that He had just I tl
been upon the Mount of Transfigura- | o
tion; that He had taken with Him j S
Peter, James and John; that He was
transngurea Deiore mem. we are ^
told that while He prayed up there
on the mountain the fashion of His u
countenance was changed, and all tl
countenances change as men pray, d
While He prayed His face was n
changed. The glory from within and n
the glory from without met. That H
happened always, I believe, when s1
Jesus prayed, but this was the first b
time that the disciples had been al- n:
lowed to see Him communing with f<
His Father. They were allowed, for
certain reasons, to see what happened n:
when He talked to His Father. While tl
He prayed there appeared Moses and h
Elijah. Moses representing the law y<
and Elijah the prophets, and Jesus, r<
the fulfillment of both, in the midst, n:
And the apostles had a wonderful ex- ai
perience to equip them forever to go n
forth and evangelize the world. The a:
scene was soon over, and Jesus and ^
the disciples came down from the u
mountain. Down in the-valley was u;
another group, the other disciples, sc
who had been left down there to go hi
on with the work while Jedus was ab- tt
sent. When the people see Jesus and si
the three disciples coming, they run ui
to meet them, and one of them, a "3
father, outstrips the rest and runs to g<
Jesus with his child, who is possessed bi
with a devil, an unclean spirit, and C?
says: "Master, I have brought to Thee
my son. He has a dumb spirit. I ni
brought him to Thy disciples down hi
here that they might cast the devil in
out of him, and they could not."
Please remember that; they could a
not. Jesus made no excuse for His m
disciples' failure. He never does di
when they ought to succeed. He did pi
not excuse them. ni
He said: "O, faithless generation: fo
how long shall I be with you? How
long shall I suffer you? How long sa
shall I suffer because of you?" I th
want to say this: If Jesus said that of ca
a few fishermen, who had only been te
with Him for two and a half years, bi
because they failed once to bring fo
a poor lad out of darkness into light, wi
out of the thralldom of the devil into h?
the liberty of the people of God, what I
do you think he would say to some of le
you here who have been professing th
Christ for ten, fifteen, twenty and a
even forty years, and you do not know Hi
a soul in this city whom you have fie
brought to Jesus Christ? Hear me! m
Your religion stands or falls by what ha
it does for the next man. Your relig- -in
ion is tested by what it does for hu- ai
manity. Does it get into your life? gi
Does it make you pity with a divine m
pity, love with a divine love, spend ar
yourself with a divine prodigality? 01
It made Jesus empty Himself. He te
took upon Himself the form of a servant
and humbled Himself, even to fo
the death of the cross?"even Christ cii
pleased not Himself." Listen: The pa
unanswerable argument for your re- Ci
ligion is the healed man. What the ar
world is waiting for is a bit of hu- th
manity out of whom the church has Li
cast a devil. It waits for that. God yc
help us to be able to prpduct it! No, us
Jesus did not excuse these men, and as
He does not excuse us. either. You .Te
know what happened. Jesus said to ve
the man: "If thou canst believe, all hj
things are possible to him that be- sa
lievetb." And the man cried out, cii
with tears, "Lord, I believe, help Thou Li
mine unbelief;" 'and Jesus said, h(
"Bring him (the child) to Me," and pr
then Jesus spake the word that did m
the work. The disciples did not for- t.h
get the rebuke, and they went to
Jesus?and I want you Christian people
to refaember this ? and said,
"Master, why could not we cast him
out?" and Jesus said, "This kind can pc
come forth by nothing but by prayer."
They were not praying; they were w
discussing with the scribes and PhariBees,
doing anything else but praying. ai
And that is the weak part of the ej
church to-day?the prayer meeting. ^
Have you tried to do anything in jn
the way of helping anybody up who is ]a
down? Haye you spoken to anybody tr
lately about Jesus and His love? Your e(
boy, for whom you have to sit up late aj
sometimes? You do not tell anybody, U(
but your tears can tell volumes you
never put into words. You know
what It 1 c tn cit 11 r? fnr an imctooJu
m
8tep, and you are bearing that trag- w
edy alone. Have you prayed with
that hoy? If I came to your house. m
could you show me the place where u
you kneel to pray? Has your boy sl
ever seen you pray? Have you ever tc
put your arms around him and said. j|
"My boy> Jesus can break the power
of the sin that is binding you?" Have Cl
you ever prayed him into living con- Dj
tact with Christ? That is what Jesus C(
* means. All about us are men and S
women, paralyzed by sin, half damned 01
by sin, and we are doing nothing to ti
deliver them?and we profess to be I tj
Christians! And Jesus is looking at I ^
us, and, from a broken, disappointed | jt
heart, He is saying: "How long am I !
to suffer'because of you?"
How often do vou ladies eet into I
your carriag^ or automobile and set
out for an afternoon's calling to pray I b
with people?1! I know that would i u
mean a good' deal, but that is what I e
Jesus wants you to do, and that is d
what you wjll have to do if you are to t<
carry out the mission Jesus wants you u
to carry out. How often do you business
men go home earlier to spend g
an hour with somebody that the devil ir
has got hold of and try to liberate a
that soul from the thralldom of sin A
and Satan? Why. if all the people in ^
this house who take communion and Ii
call themselves by His name were at "w
the work God wants them to do, we j o
could set this city in a blaze in less j e
man a T.eeK. ims Kina can come i v
forth by nothing but prayer." Do ! li
not think you are going to have it |
done because you have sent for a
stranger. The stranger cannot do it. ;
He is no magician, he is no conjurer,
no trickster, no quack. He is only a 1
man; an old-fashioned preacher of n
Christ's gospel. I do not believe in n'
getting up a revival. I believe in a
praying one down. If it comes down
it will be right. These things come
to pass as we pray, and what is needed
in our work for Christ is more ^
prayer.
Will you begin to pray? We "have
not because we ask not, or because we
ask amiss." I wonder how many of . C
you knelt down to-day just to talk to I c<
lod. One of my friends in the old
ountry, a woman, the mother of six
oys, with her husband, came to one j
f my services in the city of Lincoln,
t was th? first service of the mission,
nd as they left she said to her husand:
"Holt, what do you think of
hat man?" He said, "I don't know
hat I think of him, but I will tell
ou what I think of myself. He
lade me see myself; I am all wrong." .
I'hen they got home and sat at the *s
,'nglish tea table she looked at him "
nd said, "Are you going to hear him f'
D-night?" "No," he said (he was a li
ignalman on the Great Northern b
Lailway), "I could not go unless I g
rent in my uniform, for I have to go
n duty. You can go and take one
f the boys." They came, the mother
nd her boy, and before the meeting
'as over both of them entered the inuiry
room and gave themselves to
esus. When you looked at the womn
her face showed that a change had
iken place. The light of the mornlg
was there, a little bit of the light
bat breaks over the tops of the cliffs
f eternity, and made it beautiful,
he had been praying, and the fashm
of her countenance was changed.
>n the Saturday night following, at
le prayer meeting, this woman got
p and said: "God has done great
lings for me this week. Last Sunay
He saved me, and since five of
ly boys have been converted. And
ow I am praying for. ray husband.
[e is a wicked man and drinics ana
R'ears. But he is the father of my
oys and I am praying for him and
ly first born. I have been praying
?r them all this week, night and .day.
"They will both be converted tolorrow.
If God does not save them,
lat book (holding the Bible up in
er hand) is not true." I cannot tell
au the thrill that swept through the
>on as that woman made that statelent.
Sunday morning broke crisp
ad clear, for it was a January morning,
and that man left his signal box ix
nd started for his little cottage. ei
fhen he reached it his wife was still t
p stairs. It was her custom to be .
p and waiting for him, but she was "
) exercised about her husband and w
ad worn herself out praying for him,
lat she had fallen asleep and-over- tb
ept. "Not down yet?" he shouted ?
p to her. "I am sorry," she replied.*
[ will be down directly." When she
3t down he said: "Let me have my
reakfast. I will get what sleep I
in this morning. I am going to
sar that man this afternoon and toght."
"That's right," she said, "we
ive been praying for you." "Pray
g for me? You prayed?" he asked.
Fes." said the -wife, "I have not had
chance to tell you, but God saved
e last Sunday, and five of our chil en
are converted, and we have been
*aying for you. all of us." "For
e?" "Yes, and Gipsy Smith prayed
r you last night." "'For me?"
Tes. and everybody in the church
id 'Amen.' " "What time was it?"
ie husband asked. "As near as I
m tell, it was half-past eight." The
ars ran down the man's cheeks like ,
lbbles on a mountain stream, and
r a few minutes' he could not find
otds, but when he did he said: "At
ilf-past eight the line was clear, and
had nothing to do but think. I was
ft alone with my conscience, and I
ought of you and the boys and what
wicked life I have lived, a Christless
:e, and I threw myself on the cabin
)or and cried,'God be merciful to
e. a sinner.' He heard me, and at
ilf-past eight, while you were prayg
for me. He answered your prayer
id saved my eouI." That woman
ipped God and her husband with
ighty, prevailing prayer, and you
id I may do the same thing if we
lly have faith in God. The Lord
ach us how to pray!
Don't you think there is great need
r something to be done in this great
ty? Something needs to come to
tss to make the peonle of New York
tv ctftn in their mad rush for money
id pleasure and their selfishness and.
ink about God and better things,
sten! That will come to pass if
iu and I will pray. The Lord help
i to pray! Jesus prayed, and Ho
ked His discioles to pray. And
:sus prayed "the Lord of the barst"
to "send forth laborers into Hig
irvest." Will you, for His dear
ke, get beneath the weight of this
tv and lift it a little nearer to God?
.ft it in your arms of faith, in your
iart of pity. In your believing and
evailing prayer, nearer to God. We
ust all pray, you, me, and pray all
e time.
Buffet the Right Felloxv.
Paul wjote that he buffeted hi3
)dy to render it submissive to high
>wers of the soul. With the self
.auigence wuitu is lumiufi
orld, buffeting would almost seem
be a lost art. True, most persons
e ready to pommel somebody else,
reusing themselves for the same
nd of conduct which they condemn
others. As much as impartiality i?
uded, we should be partial in our
eatment of men; other things being
lual, we should treat everybody
ike except ourselves. The world
?eds more Pauls?those who are ^
irder on themselves than upon any- ^
3dy else. When a man condemns
imself for sin, he is more apt to be <v
orth something to somebody else.
It is not meant that one should ce
iark out a path of thorns and tread P1
pon them through life, but that he m
lould have rules of stern rigidity tt
? which he makes himself conform.
he is going to ease up at any time, jj
t him do it in the case of a brother,
ot of himself. There will be plenty *
f men to buffet other people if we '
infine that sort of treatment to our
fives. In such case, we will be doing I
urselves a greater service than all ' yt
le others do for us, and at the same 01
me will be profiting the world more 0i

The Light of Faith.
y?
Faith is truly a light iu the soul, Q1
ut it is a light which only shines t
poh duties, and not upon results or
vents. It tells us what is now to be in
one, but it does not tell us what *
) follow, and accordingly it guides qi
s but a single step at a time, and ill
hen we take that step under the
uidance of faith, we advance directly
ito a land of surrounding shadows
nd darkness. Like the patriarch
braham, we go. not knowing wither se
e go, but only that God is with ur. w
i man's darkness we nevertheless ti:
sJk and live in Gcd's light. A way la
' living blessed and glorious. how- w
vor mysterious it may be to human a,
ioion. For "the Lord God will eu- m
ghten our darkness."

New York City.?The blouse that
5 made with long close sleeves is the
itest decree of fashion, and this one
alfllls that requirement without beig
severe. There are pleats over the
houlders that give a becoming effect,
nd the sleeves are tucked and
immed with buttons in an altogetb
attractive manner. In the illusation
cashmere is embroidered and
immed with buttons and combined
ith a yoke and collar of lace in

"etty, but there are a great many
aterials, both of silk and of wool,
lat are appropriate.
The blouse is made with a fitted
aing, which can be used or omitted

icks. Wide tucks are laid over the
loulders in both front and backs,
id the blouse is facod to form the

trds twenty-one or twenty-four, two

vo and one-half yards forty-four
ches wide with two and five-eighth
irds of lace insertion, one and threejarter

Lovely Chantilly.
The luxury of ivory white Cha
tilly lace has never been more clev<
ly adapted to the decoration of t
elaborate gown than it will be t
coming season. Long scarfs of la
with the floral design picked out in
silver thread will be an effective trii
ming seen on the new models.
Veils of Russian Tulle.
Veils of Russian tulle are ve
much in favor at present, either wit
out binding of any kind or else edg
with a band of taffeta to match. Th
of course, adds greater strength
the tulle, and, when it envelops t!
whole hat, as fashion at the mome
decrees, this reinforcement renders
far more satisfactory.
Blouse of Novel Style.
A new gingham or linen waist
cut straight up to the top of the nec
where it fits in somewhat the sai
way as a gored empire skirt fits ti
waist. To this is attached a turnov
collar, which fastens in front with
cameo pin. The effect of the novel
is odd, but it is practical and wash
well, while women of a special tyj
tall and lithe, it would suit admir
bly.
