/WtalTVui m .1 HE ENTERS A DENIAL. Sermon Regarding the Diminishing of Sunday Audiences. Dr. Tulnmiie rrcumti tomr II mil Faoti khonlns 'Mint t liuroh A (l?uiUnr? in America It Not ) lu Drraiirurv. [Copyright. 'I0O1. by l.oul* Klopseti. N Y.) Washington, Sept. IS Most encouraging to nil Christian workers is this discourse of Or. I almage while denying the aocnrnoj of statistics which represent Sunduy audiences uk diminishing. Text, Hebrews 10:25, "Not forsaking the u? sembling of ourselves together." Startling si a lonrnts hat e been made in many of the pulpits and in some of the religious newspapers. It is heard over and over again that church attendance in America is In decadence. I deny the statements by presenting some hard facts. No one will dispute the fact that there are more churches in America than ever before, one dewi n re 1 VI'. , !?# V\ iiviiiiiim i iuii a ? r j 1 " w "v " churches every day of the year. The law of demand and supply is "s inexorable in the kingdom of (iod as it i? in the world. More churches supplied argues more church privileges demanded. More hanks, more bankers; more factories, more manufacturers; more ships, more importers; more churches, more attendants. Iu all our clttcs, within a few years churches have been built large enough to swallow up two or three of the oldtime churches. I cannot understand with what kind of arithmetic and slate pencil a man caloult.le* when become* to the conclusion that church attendance in America is in decadence. Take the aggregate of the number of people who enter the house of (iod now and compare it with the aggregate of the people who entered the house of God 25 years ago, and the present attendance is four to one. The facts are most exhilarating instead of being depressing. That man who presents the opposite statistics must have been no fnrt tin* ta in hlk pKurrK no. quaintance. You are not to argue adversely because here and there ? church is depleted. Churches have their day. Bonietimes merchandise will entirely occupy a neighborhood and crowd out the churches and families ordinarily attendant upon them. Sometime* a ohuroh perishes through internecine strife. U\it there arc no facts to overthrew the statement that 1 have made in regard to the increasing attendance upon the house of Hod. Now, I an\ ready to admit, as every intelligent man will admit, that there are chxtrches which have been depleted, and it is high time that n sermon be preached for the benetlt of young men who are just entering the Gospel ministry and for the warning of prosperous ohurches us to what are the caus? >of decline in any case. If merchandise crowd out a church, that cannot be helped, but under ull other circumstances decadence in church attendance is the fault either of the church or of the pastor. Churches are often cleared of their audiences by the attempt to transplant the mode* of the past into the present. The modes and methods of f<0 ; years ago are no more appropriate for to-day than the modes and methods of to-day will he appropriate for ">0 years hence. l")r. Kirk, Dr. MoElroy, Dr. Mason, Dr. IV Witt, Dr. Yermilyca and hundreds of other men just a* good as they were never lackrd audiences, because they were abraatt of the time In which they lived. People will not be interested in what we say unless we understand the spirit of th? day in which wt live. All the woe-begonish tatiatica are given by those who are trying In our time to work with the worn-out machinery of the past times. Such men might just ns well throw the furnaces out of our church basements and substitute the foot st-oves which our grandmothers used to carry with them to mvoting, and throw out our organs and our cornets and tuke the old-fashianed tuning fork, litriking it on tho knee and then lifting it to the ear to catch the pitch of the hymn, and might us well throw out our modern platforms and modern pulpits and xubatltute the wineglass pulpit up which the minister used to cliinb to the dirzy height of Mont Diane 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 lluffalo in atage eoach or canal boat in preference to the lightning express train which does it in four hours, then you can get the great musses of the people to go to a church half a century behind the time. The trouble begins away back in the theological seminaries, ft is n shame that larger provision is not made for minister* of religion, for the sick and the aged and the infirm who have worn themselves out in the service of God. We have naval asylums and soldiers' aiylumK for men who fought on land and sea for our country when these men nave nccouie aged or crippled, and it is a shame that larger provision is rot mitde for the good soldiers of .lesus Christ who have worn themselves out In battling for the Lord. Hut lack of provision in that respect makes a tendency to turn our theological seminaries into hoapitals for sick and aged and infirm ministers. When a man begins to go down, they give him the title of D. I). by way of resuscitation. If thnt falls, then the tendency is to elect him to a professorship in some theloglcal seminary. There arc grand except ions to the rale. hut it is often the case thai the professorate in a theological sem tnary ia oooupied by some minister ol the Gospel who, not being able t< preaoh, is set to tench others how ti preach. In more cases than one the poorest speaker in the faculty is th< professor of elocution. We want m r< wide-awake, uiuk abla-bodicd, able Boers .Still Fi^litin^. A dispatoh from Lord Kitchonei from Pretoria, datod Saptember 18, announoes that tho Boors on Septembei 18, ambushed three oompanios ol mounted infantry with threo guns oommanded by Major Qough, in th< vioinity of Scheeper's Nek. After ss ere fighting the British were overpow erod and lost their guns, the sightt and breechblooks of whioh were firs1 destroyed. Two officers and 14 met were killed and five officers and 2f> mei were wounded. Five officers and 15( men were mado priKoncr^. M n j,, bilndtd men, more enthusiastic turn In our theologioal seminaries aiul in the professorate* aim like Addison Alex- < under, who could during the week tench young men the theory of preaching and then on Suuday go into the pul- J pit and with the thunder and lightning of Christian eloquence show them how. What would you think of a faculty of unsuccessful merchants to train young merchants or a faculty of unsuccessful lawyers to train young lawyers? It is often the case that theologicnl seminaries cut a man and clip him and square him and mold him and hore him and twist him until all tlie indi? dniil is gone out of hiui and he Is only a poor copy of a man who was elected to a professorate because he ootlld not preach. We want leas dendwood in the theological semi* naries and more flaming evangels. At a meeting of the general assembly of the 1'resbyterlsh church of the I'nited States a elergyuiun accustomed on the Sabbath to preach to nn audience of '-.'GO or 300 people, in an audience room that could hold 1,500, was appointed to preach a sermon on Iwiw I rt I'imi <>li f he muuunu I is its t nlrl the incongruity un* too much for the risibilities of many of the clergy in the audience. Now, n young uiun coming out trom such hcdwarflng influences, how can he cuter into the wants and the woes and the sympathies of the people who want on the Lord's day a practical (lospel that will help them all the week and help them forever? Young1 ministers arc told they must preach Christ and Him crucified. Yes, but not as an abstraction. Many a minister has preached Christ and Him crucified in such a way that ho preached an audience of 500 down to 200, and from 200 to 100, and from 100 to 50, and from .'0 to 20, and on down until there was little left save tho sexton, who wlls paid to stay until IIip service was over and lock up. There is a prca* d<*t.l o' cant about. Christ and lliin crucified. It is not Christ and Him crucified ns an abstraction, but ns an Omnipotent sympathy applied to all the wants and woes of our immortal nature?a Christ who will help us in every domestic, social, financial, political, national struggle a Christ for the parlor, a Christ for the nursery, a Christ for the kitchen, a Christ for the barn, n Christ for the ?,reet, a Christ for the store, a Christ for the bunking house, u Christ for tho factory, a Christ for the congressional assembly. a Christ for the courtroom, a Christ for every trial ami every emergency and ever perturbation. It is often the case tliut. the difficulty begins clear beck in tlie home circle with misapprehension as to which chihl ought to be consecrated tothc ministry. John is u keen, bright boy. lie is good at a bargain. When lie trades at school, he always gets the best of it. Make hlni a merchant, lie will soon gather a fortune and go right up to take his pine- among the commercial princes. Cleorge has great cerebral development. Pltrcnologicallv. language is large. Make him a lawyer, lie will argue his way to the front, and he will take his place among the Mnnstiehls and the Storvs. Henry has a large girth at the chest and is military in his ?tep and bearing. Semi him to West Point. We shall see (him yet a brigadier general. Wlllinin is fond of sketching ships, and lie knows as much about n vessel as an old sailor. Make him a shipbuilder. The vessel that he builds will successfully wrestle with the Cariboean whirlwind. Aleck Is not very well. He bus nkver had very good digestion. Since that last malarial attack his splacn is enlarged, lie has a morbid way of looking nt things. He will sit for hours looking at one flgnre in the oarpet. His manners are so mild, so soft, so gentle, so atfeetionate, so Heavenly, and be cries easily. Make bint a minister. Now, my friends, that is a great mistake. If you want to consecrate one nf vntll' enne t/t f Its* r.nciuti nt'miet vv take the one widest awake. the brawniest, the most brilliant, the most irresistible, the most potent. A tremendous ork o ten* before a profession whose one object is to lift the nations toward God and prepare them for Ilenven. Alt, niy friends, ohurcliea will be largely attended just in proportion as we ministers can meet their wants, meet their sufferings, meet their bereavements and meet their sympathies. If there be a church with small help, small audience, medium help, medium aud*enee; large help, large audience. If there be a family in a city and three depots of bread and one depot has 100 loaves and another 500 loaves and another depot 10,000 loaves, the depot that has 100 loaves will have applicants, the depot that has 500 loaves will have far more applicants, the depot that has 10,000 loaves will have throngs, throngs, throngs. Oh, my brethren In the Christian ministry, we must somehow get our shoulders under the burden of the people oil the Lord's dav and give thrin s good stout lift, and wr onn do it. We have it all our own way. It is ? greM pity if with the lloor clear and no interruption, wr cannot during the course of an hour get our hymn or our prayer or our sermon under such momentum we can, by th? help of (iod, lift the people, body, mind and soul. clear out of their sins, temptations and troubles. 1 We must nialie our churches magnets to draw the people thereunto, so i that a man will feel uneasy if he does I not go to church, saying: "T wish 1 had gone this morning. 1 wonder if t i can't dress yet ami get there in time. It is 11 o'clock; now they are f singing. It is half past 11; now they > are preaching. I wonder when the > iolks will be home to tell ua what was said, what has been going on." ? When the impression is confirmed that our churches, by architecture, by xuusiu, by sociability uiui by seruiou, reports that the Boer* numberod 1.000 r mon and that t'ey woro oinmandod by . Qen. Botha. G n.

Tho Boers, who wcro drossed i in khaki, and who wero mistaken for t British troops, lost heavily. i i Every eubsoribor to this psper is ) requested to oall and soule for the r same. No honest tnan will read a - ... ^ . ... eball be mndf 'he moat attractive place on earth, Mien wo will want twice hs many churches as wa bare now, twice as largo, and then they will not half accommodate the people. I aay to l be young men who are entcring the ministry, we must put on more force, more energy and into our religion* services more vivacity if we want the people to come. You look Into a church court of any denomination of Christ ian*. First you will | llm! the incn of large common aanae and earnest look. The education of | their minds, the plfty of their hearts, the holiness of their lives, qualify them for their work. Then you will 11 ml in every church court of every denomination a group of , men who utterly nmar.e you with the .fact tliut such semi-Imbecility can get any pulpits to preach in! Those are the men who give forlorn statistics about church decadence. Frog# never crouk in running water; always in stagnant. Put I say to all Christian workers, to all Suuday school teachers, to nil evangelists, to all ministers of the Uoapcl, if we want our Sunday schools and our prayer meetings and our eliurohea to gather the people we must freshen up. | Why should we go away to get an Illustration of the viearious suffering of Jesus Christ when at. Itloomfleld, N. J., two little children were walking on the rail track and a train was .coming; but they were on a bridge of restlework, and the littlo girl , took her brother and let him down through the treat lework as gently ae she could toward tho water, very carefully and loVingly and cautiously, so that he might not. be hurt in the fall and might be picked up by those who were stnndlng near by; while doing- that the train struck her, ami hardly enough of her body I was left to gather Into a funeral casket? What was that? Vicarious suffering. T.ike Christ. Pang for othj ers. Woo for others. Suffering for i others. Death for others. What la the use of our going awny off to find nn illustration in pant ages when in Michigan u mail carrier on horseback, riding on, pursued by those Humes which had swept over n hundred miles, saw an old man by the roadside, dismounted, helped the old man on the horse, saying: "Now, whip up and get nway?" The old luan got nway, but the mail carrier purished. Just like Christ dismounting from the glories of Heaven ta put us on the way of deliverance, then falling back in the flames of sacrificu for others. Dang for others. Woe for others. Deuth for othsra. Vicarious suffering. What is the use of our going away off in ancient history to tind an illustration of the fact that it is dangerous to defy (Jod when in the Adlrondacks 1 saw a flash of lightning and bolt so vivid I said: "That struck something very near?" A few hours afterward ws found that two farmers that Monday morning had been seated under a tree, the one boasting how thut the r!;i\ before on the Lord's dav?ha h;ul if of his hay 'n and ?o cheated t)i?'

He did not make as much out. of the Lord as ha thought he did. Was it any leas an illustration for my soul becauao I met the clergyman 011 his way home from the funeral, end he told me of the facts and said the body 0/ the man who had been destroyed was black with the electricity? O Christjan workers, we have got to freshen up. "What is the uae of our going back in the Christian classics to find an illustration of the victorious Christian deathbed when my personal friend, Alfred Cooknian, a few years ngo went away In as imperial grandeur as did Edward Payson? Is it any less nn illustration to me and to you because 1 mot him few weeks before in front of Trinity church, Ttroadwray, and I said: "Cooknian, you look as if you were working too hard?" Where in all the classics is there such a story as that of Cooknian when, in hi? last moment, he cried: "I am sweeping through the gates washed In th? blood of the Lamb?" Oh, fvllow Christian workers, what la the use of our being stale and obsolete and ancient wnen ail around u? are these evidences of God's grace, God'* deliverance. God's mercy and God'a wisdom? We have got to freshen up in our sermons, freshen up in our songs, freshen up in our zeal, freshen up in our consecration, and if we do It, my brethren and sisters, we will no more have to coax people to come t-o church tliun If you throw corn on the ground you have to coax pigeons to come and eat it, no more than you would have to ooax a tired horse toeat oats you throw in his manger. Yes, we must freshen up in our Sunday schools and iu our prayer meetings and in our pulpits. It is high time that the church of God stopped writing apologies for the church. Get the men who are on the outside, w ho despise religion, writs the apologies. If any people do not went the church, they need not have it. It is a free country. If any man does not want the Gospel, he need not have it. It is a free country. But you go out, 0 people of God, and give the Gos* 1 pel to the millions of America who do i uuut it! It is high time tostopskir, mishing and bring on a general engage* meni. i wain 10 jive to see tho Ar, mageddon, all tlie armies of Heaven t and h?U is battle array, for I knowour conqueror on the while horse will fain I the day.

Tho prisoner ontcrod tho court room just as the city hall dock was striking, .'1 o'olock and as tnaDy of tho spootators as oould surged into tho oourt room bo hind him. A murmur ran through tho audioiico but the gavel of tho judge and tho tipstaff if tho crier soon restored order. As soon as Czolgoez was bofcro the bar and tho handcuffs wore removod, Distriot Attorney Penury began tho formal arraignment. Her..ad the principal charges of tho indictment in a voiooof severity and askod: 4 How do you plead, ?uihy or not guilty?" Not a sound was uttered by tho prisoner.
