evening a gentleman asked me. * What

1 supposed lie was asking mo in regard
lo some new discourse ot Dr. ( umming
of London, who sometimes preached
startling sermons, and 1 replied, "i

erward that he meant to ask what 1
thought would be the chamotoristies of
the eoming sermon of the world, the
sermons of tho future, the word “tTun-
ming” as a noun pronounced the same
as the word “coining” as an adjective.
Hut my mistake suggested to rue a
very important and practical theme, |
“Tho Coining Sermon.”

shaping that weapon of power, or there
nniy be coming some new baptism of
the Holy Ghost on the churches, so
that some of us who now stand in the
v.atclitowers of ”ioii. waking to a real
ization of our present Inefficiency, may
preach it ourselves. That coming dis
course may net be .”f) years off. Ami
let us pray God that its arrival may
be ‘hastened while I announce to you
what I think will be the chief char
acteristics of that discourse or exhorta
tion when It docs arrive, and 1 want to j
make my remarks appropriate and sug- i
g. .stive to all classes of Christian work
ers.
,\ T.lvinty CiiriMt.
First of all, 1 remark that that future
religious discourse will be full of a liv-
j ing Christ in contradistinction to di-
! dactie technicalities. A discourse may
i be full of Christ though hardly men-
j Honing his mime, and a sermon may be
j empty of Christ while every sentence
| is b petitions of his titles. The world
j wants a living Christ, not a Christ
standing at the head of a formal sys- I
tern of theology, but a Christ who
' M-aiis pardon and sympathy and con-
! doletiee and brotherhood and life and
j heaven, a poor man’s Christ, a rich
man’s Christ, an overworked man’s
Christ, an Invalid's Christ, a farm
er’s Christ, a merchant’s Christ, an
artisan’s Christ, an every man’s Christ.
A symmetrical and tine worded sys
tem of theology is well enough for the
ological classes, but it lias no more
business in a pulpit than have the
technical phrases of an anatomist or a
psychologist ora physician in the sick
room of a patient. The world wants
help, Immediate and world uplifting,
and It wiil come through a discourse in
which Christ shall walk right down
into the immortal soul and take ever
lasting possession of it. liliing it as full
of light as Is th!s.noon lay firmament.
That sermon or exhortation of the
future will not deal with men in the
threadbare Illustrations of JesusClirist. I
In that coming address there will be ]
instances of vicarious suffering taken
right out of everyday life, for ihere is
not a day when somebody is not dying
for others -as the physician saving his
diphtheritic patient by sacrificing Ids
own life; as tho ship captain going
down with his vessel while he Is get
ting his passengers into the lifeboat; as
the fireman consuming in the burning
building while he is taking a child out
of a fourth story window; as in sum
mer the strong swimmer at East
Hampton or Long Branch or Cape May
or Lake George himself perished try
ing to rescue the drowning; as the
newspaper hoy one summer, support
ing his mother for some years. Ids in
valid mother, when offered by a gentle
man hf) cents ft) get some special pa
per. and he got it and rushed up in his
anxiety to deliver It ami was crushed
under the wheels of the train and lay
on the grass with only strength enough
to say, “Oh, what will become of my
poor, sick mother now?” Vlearlov»f<
suffering—the world is full of it. An
engineer said to me on a locomotive In
Dakota: “\Vc men seen to he coming
to bettor appreciation than we used to.
Did you see that account the other day
of an engineer who to save Ids passen
gers stuck to Ids place, ami when he
was found dead In the locomotive,
which was upside down, ho was found

lied. Ob, my friends, what the world
wants Is not a cold Chrlsf, not an in
tellectual Christ, not a severely magis
terial Christ, but a loving Christ,
spreading out his arms of sympathy to
press tiie whole world to his loving
heart.
Short Sermons.
But I remark again that the religious
discourse of the future will have to be
short. Con leiisation is demanded by
the ago in which we live. No more
introduction:! and long u[s
plications ami so many divisions to a
discourse belt it may be said to be
ii'.rd. In ether days men got
information from the pulpit,
re f«w b ioks, and there were
papers, and there was little
travel from [dace to place, and people
I would sit and listen two and a half
hours to a religious discourse, and
I “Si-venteenthly” would find them fresh
! and chipper. In those days there was
I enough time for a man to take an hour
i to warm him elf up to the subject and
! an hour to cool off. But what was a
I *
| necessity then is a supertluity now.
j Congregations are full of knowledge
from books, from newspapers, from
S rapid and continuous intcreoinmuuicu-
j tion and long disquisitions of what
! th.-y know already will not he abided,
j if a religious teacher cannot compress
! what he wishes to say to tiie people In
| the space of -lb minutes, better adjourn
i it. to some other day.
The trouble is we preach audiences
i into a Christian frame, and then we
| preach Uu m out uf it. We forget that
! every auditor has so much capacity of
‘ attention, and when that is exhausted
he Is restless. That accident on the
Long Island railroad years ago came
from the fact that the brakes Mere oat
of order, and when they wanted to stop
the train they could not stop, and
hence the casualty was torrilic. In all
religious discourse we want locomotive
power and propulsion. We want at the
..';me time stout brakes to let down at
the right instant. It is a dismal thing,
afur a hearer has comprehended the
whole subject, to hear a man ray,
“Sow to recapitulate,” and. “A few
words by way of application,” and
"Once more,” and "Filially,” and “N’ow
to coeeiudo.”
Haul preached until midnight, and
Eutycliiis get sound asleep and fell out
of a window and broke his neck. Some
would : ay. “Good for him.” 1 would
rather be sympathetic, like Haul, and
resuscitate him. That accident is often
quoted now in religious circles as a
warning against somnolence in church.
It is just as much a warning to minis
ters against prolixity. Eutychus was
wrong in his somnolence, but Fatil
made a mistake when he kept on until
midnight, lie ought to have stepped at
11 o'clock, and there would have been
no accident. If be id might have gone
on to too great length, let all those of
us who are now preaching the gospel
remember tiiat there is a limit to re
ligious discourse, or ought to be, and
that in our time we have no apostolic
power of mirach s. Napoleon in an ad
dress of seven minutes thrilled hi-s
army and thrilled Europe. Christ's
sermon on the mount, tiie model ser
mon, was lees than l-' minutes long at
ordinary mode of delivery. It is not
elrcii'ieity scattered ail over the sky
that strikes, hut electricity gathered
inte a thunderbolt and hurled, and it is
not religious truth altered over and
spread out over a vast reach of time,
but religious truth projected in com
pact form that Hashes light upon tho
soul and rives its indifference.
I'o polar 15 1m e.'i nr.
When the religious discourse of the
future arrives in this hind and In tho
Christian ehureii, the discourse which
Is to arouse the world and startle the
nations ami usher in the kingdom, it
wiil bo a brief discourse. Hear it, all
theological students, all ye just cater
ing upon religious work, all ye men
ami women who in Sabhath schools
and other departments are tolling for
Christ and the salvation of immortals
— brevity, brevity!
But I remark also that the religious
discourse of the future of which I
speak will lie a popular discourse.
There are those in these times Mho
speak of ti popular sermon as though
there must he something wrong about
it. As these critics are dull themselves,
the world gets the Impression that
a sermon Is guild in proportion as it is
stiqi'd. Christ was the most popular
preacher the world ever saw and, con
sidering the small number of the
world's population, had the largest au
dience ever gathered. He never preach
ed anywhere without making a great
sensation. Feople rushed out in the
wilderness to hear him reckless of
their physical necessities. Bo great
was their anxiety to hear Christ that,
taking no food with them, they would
have fainted and starved had not
Christ performed a miracle and fed
them. Why did so many people take
the truth at Christ’s hands? Because
they all understood it. He Illustrated
his subject hy a hen and her chickens,
by a bushel measure, by a handful of
teilt, by a bird’s flight and by a Lily’s
groimi. All the p; ople knew wliat he
meant, and they Hocked to him. And
M'hcn the religious discourse of the
future appears it will not be ITlneeto-
nian, not Koehestcrian, not Antloverlan,
not Mlddletonlnn, but Olivetie plain,
practical, unique, earnest, comprehen
sive of all the woes, wants, sins ami
torroM's of an auditory.
But when that exhortation or dis
course does come there will be a thou
sand gleaming selmlteis to charge on
It. There are in so many theological
seiiilaarles professors tilling young
men how to preach, themselves not
knowing how, and 1 am told that if ft
young man in Mini • of our theological
seiiiiuaiies says anything quaint or
thrilling or unique faculty uu l stu
dents Hy at him and set him right arid
straighten him out and smooth him
down and chop him off iiutil he says
who have had trouble only thought
they could get practical and sympa
thetic help in the Christian church,
there would not be a street in Wash
ington or New York or any other city
which would be passable on tin* Sab
bath day if there were a chinch on it,
for all the people would press to that
asylum of mercy, that great house of
comfort and consolation.

A mother with a dead babe in her
arms came to tho god Siva and asked
to have her child restored to life. The
god Siva said to her. “You go and get
a handful of mustard seed from a
house in which there has been no
sorrow and in which there lias been no
death, and I will restore your child to
life.” So the mother went out, and she
went from house to house and from
homo to home looking for a place
I where there had been no soitom’ and
^ where there hail been no death, but she
| found none. She went back to the god
! Siva and said: “My mission is a failure.
You see, I haven’t brought the mustard
seed. I can’t find a place where there
has been no sorrow and no death.”
“Oh!” says the god Siva. “Understand,
your sorroM’s are no worse than the
Borrows of others. We all have our
griefs, and all have our heartbreaks.”
Laugh, an l the world laughs with .vou;
Weep, and you weep alone;
For tho sad old earth must borrow its mirth,
Dut has trouble enough of its own.
We hear a groat deal o? discussion
now all over the land about why peo
ple do not go to church. Some say it is
because Christianity is dying <*ut and
because people do uot believe iti the
truth of God's word, and all that.
They are false reasons. The reason is
because our sermons and exhortations
are not Interesting and practical and
helpful. Bo me one might as well tell
the whole truth on this subject, and so
I will tell it. The religious discourse
begins.” Oh, my friends, when oi.r
watch has ticked away for us the last
moment, and our clock has struck for
us tho last hour, may It bn found we
did our work well, that we did it In the
very best way, and, whether we
preached tho gospel in pulpits, or
taught Sabbath classes, or administer
ed to the sick as physicians, or bar
gained as merchants, or pleaded the
law as attorneys, or were busy as arti
sans or husbandmen or as mechanic g
or were, like Martha, called to give i
meal to a hungry Christ, or like Han
nah, to make a coat for a prophet, or
like Deborah, to rouse the courage of
some timid Barak in tho Lord’s con
flict, wo did our work in such a way
that it Mill stand the test of the judg
ment! And in the long procession of
the redeemed that march around the
throne may it he found that there are
many there brought to God through
our instrumentality and in whose res
cue wo exult. But let none of us M’lio
are still unsaved Malt for that religious
discourse of the future. It may come

II. Oh, when the future religious dla-
( i.'ir c of the Chjlstliiu church arrive•
tdl the churches of Christ In our great
cities will be thronged! The world
wants spiritual help. All who have
burled their dead went comfort. All
know themselves to be titortal and to
be immortal, and they want to hear
about the great future. I tell you, my
friends, If the people ojf our great cities
Hflluio'is AwuUeiilnK.
But, I remark again, the religions
discourse of the future will be tin
awakening sermon. From altar rail to
the front doorstep, under that sermon,
an audience Mill get up and start for
heaven. There will be in it many a
staccato passage. It will not be a lul
laby. It Mill be a battle charge. Men
Mill drop their sins, for they will feel
the hot breath of pursuing retribution
on the back of their necks. It will be
sympathtic with all the physical dis
tresses as well as the spiritual dis
tresses of the world. Christ not only
j preached, but ho healed paralysis, and
he healed epilepsy, and he healed the
dumb and the blind and the lepers.
That religious discourse of the future
will be an everyday sermon, going
right doM t. into every man’s life, and it
will teach him how to vote, how to bar
gain, how to plow, bow to do any work
he is called to do. how to M'ield trowel
mid pen and pencil and yardstick and
plane, and it M’ill teach women how to
preside over their households and how
to educate their children and how to
Imitate Miriam aud Esther and Yashtl
and Eunice, tho mother of Timothy,
and Mary, the mother of Christ, and
those women Mho on northern and
southern battlefields More mistaken bj
the wounded for angels of mercy, fresh
from the throne of God.
Yes, I have to toll you, the religious
discourse of the future will he a re
ported sermon. If you have any Idea
that printing Mas Invented simply to
print secular books, and stenography
and phonography were contrived mere
ly to set forth secular Ideas, you arc
mistaken. The printing press it» to be
the great agency of gospel proclama
tion. It Is high time that good men,
instead of denouncing the press, em
ploy it to scatter forth tho gospel of
Jesus Christ. The vast majority of
people In our cities do uot come to
church, and nothing but the printed
termon can reach them and call them
to pardon and life and peace and
heaven.
I So I cannot understand the nervous-
- ness of boine of my brethren of the
ministry. When they see a newspaper
man coming in, they say, “Alas, there
Is a reporter!” Every added reporter
is 10,tMK), 50,000, 100,000 immortal souls
added to the auditory. The time Mill
come when all the village, tovvit and
city newspapers will reproduce the
gospel of Jesus Christ, and sermons

Story of ;i S!at e.
To be bound hand and foot
years by the chains of disease is
worst form of slavery. George
Williams, of Manchester, Mich., tells
how such a slave was made free. II3
says: “My wife has been so helpless
5 r five years that she could not turn
over in the bed alone. After using
two bottles of Electric Bitters, si. j
i: wonderfully improved and able to
do her own' work.” This supremo
remedy for fe* ’e diseases quiekly
cures nervouciiess, sleeplessness,
melancholy, headache, backache,
fainting and dizzy spells. This mira
cle working medicine is a godsend to
weak, sickly, run down people.

To Wash Ui'iinIh's and Comiis,
To wash hair brushes and combs,
dissolve a tablespoonful of Gold Dust
Washing Powder in boiling water;
when it is nearly cold, dab the bris
tles up and down, without allowing
tho backs of tho brushes to become
wet; when the brushes are clean, dip
them in plain cold water, and dry
1 them either by the fire or in the open
air.
Soap turns the ivory-black coml s
or brushes vellow, but Gold Dust does
not injure them.

when you proposed?” “Yes I re
