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."

now, twice as largo, and then they

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

orrr the achievement by which they
had wronged the Lord of His holy
day. when the lightning" struck one
dead Instantly, and the other had
been two weeks in bed when we left
the Adirondaoks and has become an
Invalid, I suppose, for life. 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
