BE ENTERS A DENIAL. Sermon Re&nrding tho Diminishing of Sunday Audiences. Dr. Tnlmnae Prc?cnt? Somo Hard VaotH Shuwtnv That Churoli At teudnnae In Amorloa IM Not I Au DuuKiknuu, {Copyright, 1001, by J-ouls Klopsen. N. Y.J Washington, Sept. 15. Mont encouraging to all Christian workers is this discourse of Dr. Tal mage whilo denying tho-accuracy of statistiou which represent Sunday au dience? as diminishing. Text, He brews 10:2fi, "Not forsaking the as sembling of ourselves together." Startling statements have been made In many of the pulpits and in some of tho religious newspapers, lt is heard over and over again that church at tendance lu America is in decadence. I deny the statements by presenting nomo hard facts. No ono will dispute tho fact that there aro more churches in America than ever before, one de nomination averaging two new churches overy day of tho year. Thc law of domand and supply is ns inex orable in tho kingdom of God as it is tn tho world. Moro churches supplied argues more church privileges demand ad. More bank?, more bankers; more factories, more manufacturers; more ships, more Importers; more churches, more attendants. In all our cities within a few years Churches have been built large enough to swallow up two or throe of thc old time churches. I cannot understand with what kind of arithmetic and slate pencil ii man calculates when ho oomcfi to the oonoluslou that chureh attend ance in America is in decadence. Take the aggregate of tho number of people who enter th? house of God now and oom pare it with the aggregate of Hie people who entered tho house of God SS years ago, and the present attend ance is four to one. Tho facts aro most exhilarating instead of hoing de pressing. That mon who presents tho opposite statistics must liavo been most unfortunate in his chureh oo qualntauce. You arc r.ct ts argus adverssly be cause- here and thoro a church is de Sleted. Churches have .their day. ometimes merchandise will entirely oooupy a neighborhood and crowd out tho churches and families ordinarily attendant upon them. Sometimes a church perishes through internecine otrife. But thoro aro no facts to o-ver thr>ow the statement that I have made In regard to the increasing attendanco upon tho house of God. Now, I am ready to admit, as every intelligent man will admit, that there are ehurohes which have been dopletcd, and it is high time that a sermon bo preached for the benellt of young raen who are just entering the Gospel min istry and for tho warning of prosper ous churches as to what aro the causes of decline in any oase. If merchandise crowd out a church, that cannot bo kelped, but under all ether circum stances decodenoe in church attend ance is tho fault either of tho church or of the paetor. Churohes are often cleared of their audience* by tho attempt to transplant th? modes of the past into thc pres ent. The modes and methods of 50 years ago aro no mora appropriate for to-day than tho modes and methods of to-day will be appropriate for 50 years henoe. Dr. Kirk, Dr. McElroy, Dr. Ma son, Dr. Do Witt, Dr. Vormtlyea and hundreds of other mon just as good nt they wero never lacked audiencos, beoausc they wcro abreast of the time In whioh they lived. People will not be interested In what wo Bay unless wa understand the spirit of the day in whioh we live. All the woe-begonlsh Statistics are given by th osa who are trying in our timo to work with tho worn-out maohinery of the past times. Such men might just as well throw tho furnaces out of our ohurch basenionts .nd substitute tho foot stoves which our grandmothers used tn carry with them to meeting, and throw out our organs and our cornets and take tho old-fashioned tuning fork, striking lt on the knee and then lifting lt to the esr to oatoh the pitch of the hymn, and might as well throw out ?ur mod ern platforms and modern pulpits and substitute the wlnegluss pulpit up whioh the minister used to climb to the dizzy height of Mont Blanc solitariness and then go in out of sight and shut the door after him. When you can get the great masses of the people to take passage from Albany to Buffalo in stage ooach or canal boat In prefer ence to tho lightning express train which does it in four hours, then you can get the great masses of the peo ple to go to a church half n century be hind the time. The trouble begins away back in the theological seminarios, it is a shaina that larger provision is uot made for ministers of religion, for the sick ar d the aged and thc inllrrn who have worn themselves out in the service of God. Wa have naval asylums and soldiers' asylums for men who fought on land and sea for .our country when these men have become aged or crippled, and it is a shame that larger provision Is not made for the good soldiers of Jesus Christ who havo worn themselves out in battling for the Lord. But lack of provision In that respect makes n tend ency to turn our theological seminaries into hospitals for sick and aged and infirm mlmsters. When a mart begins to go down, they give him the title of D. D. by way of resuscitation. Jf that fails, th?n the tendency is to elect him to s professorship in some I he logical ?eruinary. There are grand exceptions to the rvile, but it is often 1 he enso tba t th? professorate in a theological sem inary ls ocoupied by some minister bf th? Gospel who, not being abie to preach, is set to teach others how to preach. In more cases than one Hie poorest speaker in the faculty is ibo professor of elocution.

What would you think of a fae ulty of unsuccessful merchants to train young merchants or a faculty of unsuccessful lawyers to train young lawyers? It is often the case that theological seminaries cut a man and clip him and squnro him and mold him and bore him ?nd twist him until all the individual is gone out of him and ho is only ti poor copy of a man who was elected to a professorate because ho could not preach. Wo want less deadwood In tho theological eemi? naries and more fluming evangels. At a mooting of thc general assem bly of thc Presbyterian church of tho United Slates a clergyman accus tomed on the Sabbath to preach to an audience of 2?Q or 300 people, in an audience room that could hold 1,500, was appointed to preach a sermon on how to reach the masses. 1 am told the incongruity was too much for tho risibilities of many of thc clergy in tho audience. Now, a young man Coining ont irom such bcd wa i'll ng in fluences, how can he enter into tho wants and tho woes and thc sympa thies ol' the people who want on tho hold's day a practical Gospel that will help them all the week and help them forever? Young ministers aro told they must preach Christ and Him crucified. Yes, but not ns an abstraction. Many ? minister lins preached Christ and Him crucified in such a way that he preached an audience of COO down to 200, and from 200 to 100, and from 100 to 50, and from .'0 to 20, and on down until there was litllo left sayo tho eoxlon, who was paid to slay until Die service was over and lock up. Thero is a cr?ai dat.l of cant about Christ and Him crucified, lt is not Christ and Him crucified a? an ab straction, but as an Omnipotent sym pathy applied to nil tho wants end woes of our immortal nature-o Christ who will help us in every do mestic, souial, financial, political, na tional struggle-n Christ for tho par lor, i\ Christ for tho nursory, a Christ for tho kitchen, a Christ for tho barn, a Christ for tho svrect, a Christ for tho storo, a Christ for tho banking house, a Christ for tho factory, u Christ, for thc congressional assem bly, a Christ for tho courtroom, a Christ, for overy trial and every emer gency and ever perturbation. lt is often tho caso Hint the dif ficulty bobina clear hack in tho homo circlo with misapprehension ns to which child ought to bc consecrated to tho ministry. John is a keen, bright boy. lio is good at a bargain. V/hen ho trndos at school, ho always geta the host of lt. Make him a merchant. Ho will noon gather a fortune and go right up to take his place among tho commcroinl princos. (J co rp-o has great cerebral aevolopment. Phreno logloally, lnnguago ls large. Mako him a lawyer. Ho will argua his way to th o front, and he will tako his placo among tho Mansfields and the .Storys. Henry has n largo girth at tho chest and is military in his rtep and bearing. Send him to West Point. We shall seo him yet a brigadier gen eral, William is fond of sketching ships, and he knows as much about a vess?l as a? old sailor. Make him a shipbuilder. The vessel tliat ho builds will successfully wrestle with tho Caribocan whirlwind. Alcok is not very well. Ha hat} novcr had vory good digestion. Sinco that last ma larial attack lils spleen io enlarged. Ho has a morbid way of looking at things. Ho will nit for hours look ing at ono figure in the carpet. His manners are BO mild, so soft, so gen tle, so al?ictlouato, co Heavenly, and he cries cagily. Make him a minister. Now, my friends, that is a great mis take. If you want to consecrate ono of your sons to tho Gospel ministry, take the one widest awako, tho brawniest, the most brilliant, the most irresistible, the most potent. A tremendous work o/ions before a pro fession whose one object is to lift tho nations toward God and preparo them for Heaven. Ah, my friends, churches will be largely attended just in proportion as we ministors can meet their wants, meet their sufferings, meet their bereavements and meet their sympathies. If there ba a church with small help, tina ll audience, medi um help, medium audience; hugo help, large audience. If there bo n family in a city and three depots of bread and ono depot lias 100 loaves and another 500 loaves and another depot 10,000 loaves, thc depot that has 100 loaves will hara applicants, tue depot that has 500 loaves will have far more applicants, tho depot that has 10,000 loaros will have throngs, throngs, throngs. Oh, my brethren in tho Christian ministry, we must somehow get our shoulders under the burdon of tho peoplo on tba Lord's day and givo them a good stout lift, and wc cnn do it. Wo huvo it all our own way. It ls n great pity If with tho floor clear and no Interruption, we cannot dur ing the course of an hour get our liymn or our prnyor or our sermon under such momentum we cnn, by tho help of God, lift tho people, body, mind and soul, clear out of their sins, temptations and troubles. We must maleo our churches mag nets to draw tho people thereunto, so that a man will feel uneasy if he does not go to church, saying: "I wish I lind gone this morning. I wonder If I can't dress yet and get there in time, lt ls ll o'clock; now they aro singing. It ls half past il; now they are preaching. I wonder when tho folks will bo home to toll us what wa.s said, what has boon going on."

But I say to all Christian workers, to all Sunday school teachers, to all evangelists, to all minister; of tho Gospel, if WO want our Sunday schools and our prayer meetings and our churches to gut her tho peoplo wo must fresh en up. , Why should wo go away to get an illustration of the vicarious suffering1 of Jesus Christ when at Bloomfield, N.

'What was that? Vicarious suffering. Liko Christ. Pang for oth ers. Wu? for others, BuiToring for others. Death for othors.

Tho roports during tho labt ton days rcfloot a Btago in tho dovolopinont of growing and maturing cotton that ususally ooours during tho last days of August, and accounts for tho wido spread provalonoo of rust and shed ding. Of itsolf it doos not mark any unusual deterioration, but ooourring so lato in tho season, it does indioato nn unusual baokwardnose of tho orop, that makes tho yiold moro problematical than gonorally is chooaso in tho middle of September, ard moro dopondont on an oarly or lato frost whothor tho orop will bo of a record broaking size or morely a full ono. Woot of. tho Mis?ioBippi, it scorns, tho roports indioato a loss under last yoar's yiold ovon with tho inoroaucd aoroago, whito to tho eastward thoro will bo a largo oxooBS over last yoar. Sinoo tho roportu woro roooivod upon whioh tho Stato summaries aro based, horwy rn ii H havo ooourrod over tho oastorn and oontral portions of tho bolt that lowered tho quantity of opon ootton in tho bolls, hut did no other material damago^oxoopt on bottom lands that woro aSftJlowtd.

Tho ooudi tion of tho orop has bcon suroraarizod for tho different Staten as follows: In North Carolina tho condition of ootton, as reported by tito department of ogrioulturo, is tho lowest through out tho ootton holt, oxoopt in Texan and Arkansas. Tho weather conditions CHunot further boncfit tho plants in this State, oxoopt that showers would so ouro botter maturity of tho uppor bolls.
