MAvifi wis rowaorncN coor UulsviM* MioUtor Sound* of Wanting. There, in one thlug absolutely oer tain, the vast throngs of i>eople wo HV>e ou the streets crowding through the doors of amusemeut hull where the course ami vulgar picture is displayed indicate tb$t the amusement offered in side are certaiuly not elevating. The gay and thoughtless throngs to be seen ?? very where . AEft-JMl JUible christians. There is ai\ air of pride, Uullffereuee, and daroing about us that very plainly indicate^ the multitudes of our fellow helngs have forgotten (Jod. Tliey are not humble, or revere>nu %l, or prayer ful. they are not thinking of nor pre paring to meet In peacf the Lord and master at the day of judgement. The world is chasing the dollar and hurrying froui place to place seeking after amusement. It is drowning the conscience in the gulf of oblivion. ? It Is filling It's wind so full of the pass ing show tlytt there Is neither dispo sition nor ttoue for serious reflation. 'i*his state of things is not confined to ( the great mass of people who make no pretext at savlug faith ot* life of devo tion. to Ohrijrt ; it is startlingly maul* fested in the Church. Those preachers which have been so bitterly opposed to the Holiness Movement, aud have so constantly objected to their people may congratulate themselves that the masses of the Protestant ehurch mem bers of this country are seeking after holiness; they are not hungering add thirsting after righteousness; they are uot finding the secret place of prayer, and crying out to God. "Search me. O (Jod. and know my heart, and see if there be any wicked way ?Q me, and lead me in the way everlasting." If the Bible is true-^-and we believe with all of our heart that it Is true^ the great masses of fellow beiugs are hurrying on to outer darkness. They are without Clod aud have ho scriptural ground of hope for the fhtUre. Their creed Is to "eat, drink, and be merry." They are scklng to satisfy their spirit ual nature with temporal things. They have "a form of godliness but deny the power thereof.". There can be no thing more startling to serious and de vout people than the fact that a large number of preachers are catering to the wishes of their godless throng. In stead of rebuking and warning the peo ple tliey are turning the house of CJ<">tl into a place of amusement and pastime. They an- "lie Miragiau: the jteople in their mad pursuit <f pleasure. Oue can but :*s'< \vh:?t will the future be! How long will thi< carnival of sin hold sway? When will lh<> servants <>f <k?d awake tnd call the people to repentance? Tt is a startling fact that these God tnul til tides are hastening t c> bell. They have persuaded themselves that there Is no hell. They hate, laugh at. ami I'tdicule, and faithful man loft in out pulpits who wan*, them of their danger and- thc?r doom. lint the litoie being true they are falling headlong into Hie pit of torment In countless thousands and increasing millions. They certainly are unfit for hea?n. People who do not love and who will not obey, the God of fhe liible. who have no -saving faith in Jesus Christ, who have M> desire or intention of seeking after holiness, are. certainly unfit for heaven. The great need of the hour is a< faith ful. fearless ministry- ? a ministry with an unshaken faith in the Holy Scrip tures; a' ministry walking in-commun 1on with God; a ministry that will cry aloud jnd spare not. May the Lord awaken our preachers to warn the peo ple faithfully of their danger, to point out to them whether they will hear or whether they will forbear, the fact that they will spend eternity in torment Such preaching will put some people thinking. There are those tn every community who will repent if they are faithfully warned. What must be the judgment and remorse in that great day of the unfaithful minister who enter tained. cajoled, and comforted sinners on their way to doom. Men of God baptized with the Holy Ghost, with an unlimited faith in Christ, faithfully preaching the eternal truth can get a hearing, can awaken sleeping souls, and lead men to repentance.
