People will not be lEte;cst(d in wliat we say tmlesM we understand the spirit of the day in Which ^ve live. AU the woebegotiish Statistics are given by those who are trying in our time to work with the wornout machinery of the past times. Such men might Just as well throw the furnaces out of our church basements and substitute the foot stoves which our grandmothers used to carry with them to meeting, and throw out our or gans and our cornets and take the old fashioned tuning fork, striking it on the knee and then lifting it to the ear to catch the pitch of the hymn, and might as well throw out our modern platforms and modern pulpits and sub ute the wineglass pulpit up which minister used to climb to the dizzy fbt of Mont Blanc solitariness and then go in out of sight and shut the door after him. The trouble hugins away back In the theological seminaries. It is a sham- that larger provision is not made fer ministers cf religion, for tie- si<-k ami the aged and the Infirm who have worn themselves out In the service o« Gmi We have naval asylums and r.oidi -is asylums for men who fought on land and sea forour country when thes<* m.-n have become aged or crippled, and it Is a shame that larger provision is not made for the good soldiers of Jesus Christ who have worn themselves out In battling for the Lord.

When a man begins to go down, they give him the ti.ie ol D. D. by way of resuscitation. If that falls, then^be tendency is to eh-ct him to ft professorate in some th<*nlog;<-:-l seminary. There are grand exceptions to the rule, but it Is oft< n tin* case that the professorate in a theological smni- nary Is occupied by some minister of fhe gospel who. not being able t« preneb himself, is «<*t to teach others hoWto preach.

We want loss deudwood in the thealogl.-al seininarii's a: 1 more liamhi.g evangels, i declare that a man who cannot preach himself cannot teach others ho’, to j.reach. Practical Go»peI. At a meeiing of the general assem bly of the Presbyterian church of the United SStat, s a clergyman aceust >med on the b'abbath to preach to an audi ence of two or three hundred people in an audience room that could 1: id l.bno was appointed to preach a sermon on how to reach the masses! 1 am told the incongruity was too much for the risibilities of many of the clergy in the audience. Now. a young man coining out from such bedwariing influences, how can he enter into the wants and the woes and the sympathies, ri people who want on the Lord’s day a practical gospel that will help them all the week and help them forever? Young ministers are told they must preach Christ and him crucified. Yes. but not as an abstraction. Many a minister lias preached Christ and him crucified in such a way that he preach ed an audience of 300 down to l!00 and from l’i-ii to 100 and from loo 30 and from 50 to 12<» and on down until there was but little left save (be sexton, who was paid to stay until the service was over and lock up! There is a great deal of cant about Christ and him crucified. It is not Christ and him crucifled as an abstraction, but as an omnipotent sympathy applied to all the wants and woes of our immortal nature, a Christ who will help us in every domestic, so cial, tinancial, political, national snug gle. a Christ for the parlor, a Christ for the nursery, a Christ for the kitchen, a Christ for the barn, a Christ for the street, a Christ for the store, a Christ for the banking house, a Christ for the factory, a Christ for the congressional assembly, a Christ for the courtroom, a Christ for every trial and every emer gency and every perturbation. It is often the case that the difficulty begins clear back in the home circle, with misapprehension as to which child ought to be consecrated to the minis try. John is a keen, bright boy. He Is good at a bargain. When be trades at school, he always gets the best of it. Make him a merchant. He will soon gather a fortune and go right up to take his place among tire commercial princes. George has groat cerebral de velopment. Phreiiologically, language Is large. Make him u lawyer. He will argue his way to the front, and be will take his place among the Manstields and the Storys. Henry has large girth at the chest and is military In his step and bearing. Send him to West Point. We shall see him ye* a brigadier gen eral. William is fond of sketch lug, es pecially of sketching ships, and he knows as much about a vessel us an old sailor. Make him a shipbuilder. The vessel that lie builds will success fully wrestle with the Caribbean whirl wind. Aleck Is not very well. He has never had v*ry good digestion. Since that last malarial attack hia spleen is enlarged. lie has a morbid way of looking at things. He will sit for hours looking at one figure in the carpet. His manners are so mild, so soft, so gentle, so affectionate, so heavenly, and he cries easily. Make him a minister. Now. my friends, that is a great mis take. If yon want to- consecrate one of your sons to the gospel ministry, take the one widest awake, the brawn iest, the most brilliant, the most Irre sistible, the most potent. A tremen dous work opens before a profession whose one object Is to lift the nations toward God and prepare them for heaven. Ministerial LnsinMia Denounced. All. my friends, churches will b<* largely attended Just In proportion as we ministers can meet their wants, meet their sufferings, meet their be reavements and meet their sympathies. If there be a church with small help, small audience; medium help, medium audience: large help, large audience. If there be a famine in a city and three depots of bread and one de pot have a hundred loaves and an other depot five hundred loaves and an other depot ten thousand loaves, the depot that has a hundred loaves will have applicants, the depot that lias live hundred loaves will have far more ap plicants, the depot that has ten thou sand loaves will have throngs, turouga, throngs. Oh. my brethren In the Christian ministry, \v» must somehow get our shoulder under the burden of tin* peo ple on the Lord’s day and give them a good stout lift, and we can do it. We have it all our own way. It Is a great pity if. with the floor clear and no in terruption, we cannot during the course o! an hour get our hymn *r oar prayer or our sermon under such mouieutuiu we can. by the help of God, lift the people, body, mind and soul, clear out of th»*lr sins, temptations au.1 troubles. 1 think that miuist *rial larJness often empties the church of auditars. Hear ers who are intelligent through reading newspapers and by active association in business cireles will not oa the Sab bath sit and listen to pkititada? Hear ers will uot come to sermons which have In them no Important facts, no Information, no stirring pawer. uo adaptation, no lire. The i*ew will not listen to the pulpit unleas at least on the subject that day under ^Mcusslon, tin* pulpit knows more than the pew. Ministerial laziness has cleared out many churches.

Ail vice to Yoiiok I*ri*:ipljei'». IVopK' wbl not go to church merely as a matter of duly. Tin i,- v, .1 not n.-xt Sabbath be a thousand p* pie in a■ 1 y city why will cd up in the morn ing and say: “The Bible says 1 must go lo church. It is my duty to g > to chin .-h: therefore I will go t • * hi k." T! vast multitude* of p opie wh go lo eliureii gu to church because they dike it. and the multitude of peopk* who stay awaj from church stay away In- cau-c they do not like* it. 1 am not sp* iking about the way the world ought to be*; I am speaking about the way the world is. Taking things as tin n-v. we must make the centripetal fore - of the church mightier ihau the cen'i ’.fugal. We must make our church es magnets to draw the -people there- so that a man will feel uneasy if he does not go to church, saying: “I wish I had gone this morning. I won der if I can't dress yet ami get there in time. It is 11 o’clock: now th y are singing. It is half past 11; now they arc preaching. I wonder when the folks will be home to tell us what was said, what lias been going on." When the impression is continued that our churches, by architecture, by music, by sociality and by sermon, shall be made the most attractive places on earth, then we will want twice as many churches as we have now, twice as large, ami then they will not half accommodate the people. I say to the young men who are en tering the ministry, we must put on more force, more energy, and into our religious services more vivacity if we want the people to come. You look in to a church court cf any denomination of Christians. First you will find the men of large common sense and ear nest look. The education of their minds, the piety of their hearts, the holiness ef their lives qualify them for their work. Then you will find in ev ery church court of every denomina tion a group of men who utterly amaze you with the fact that such semi-imbe cility can get any pulpits to preach in! Those are the men who give forlorn statistics about church decadence. Frogs never croak in running water; always in stagnant. But I say to all Christian workers, to all Sunday school teachers, to all evangelists, to all min isters of the gospel, if we want oar Sunday schools and our prayer meet ings and our churclies to gather the people we must freshen up. The sim ple fact is the people are tired of the humdrum of religionists. You say that ail Sunday school teach ers and all evangelists and all minis ters must bring their illustrations from the Bible. Christ did not when he preached. The most of the Bible was written before Christ’s time, but where did be get bis illustrations? He drew them from the lilies, from the ravens, from salt, from a candle, from a bush el, from long faced hypocrites, from gnats, from moths, from large gates end small gates, from a camel, from the noodle's eye, from yeast in the dough of bread, from a mustard seed, from a fishing net, from debtors and creditors. That is the reason multi tudes followed Christ. His illustra tions were so easy and so understand able. Therefore, my brother Christian worker. If you and 1 find two illustra tions for a religious subject, and the one is a Bible illustration and the oth er is outside the Bible, I will take the latter because I want to be like my Master. Looking across to a bill, Christ saw the city of Jerusalem. Talking t«< the people about the conspicuity of Christian example, he said: “The world is looking at you; be careful. A city that is set on a bill cannot be hid.’’ While he was speaking of the divine care of God’s children a bird flew past. He said, “Behold the ravens." Then, looking down into the valley, all covered at that season with flowers, he said, “Consider the lilies.” Oh, my brother Christian workers, what is the use of our going away off in some ob scure part of history or on the other side of the earth to get an Illustration when the earth and the heavens arc full of illustrations? Modern Christianity. Why should we go away to get an il lustration of the vicarious suffering of Jesus Christ when at Bloomfield, N. J., two little children were walking on the rail traek and a train was coming, but they were on u bridge of trestlework, and the little girl took her brother and let him down through the trestlework us gently as she could toward the wa ter. 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 standing near by? While doing that the train struek her, and hardly enough of her body was left to gather into a funeral casket. What was (hat? Vicarious suffering; like Christ; pang for others; woe for others; suffering for others; death for others. What is the use of our going away off to find an Illustration in past ages w1h‘u in Michigan a mail carrier on horseback, riding on, pursued by those flames which had swept over a hundred miles, saw an old man by the roadside, dismounted, helped the old- man on the hors:*, saying, “Now whip up and get away?” The old man got away, but the mail carrier perished. Just like Christ dlMiiouutlng from the glories of In a veil to put us on the way of deliverance, then falling back Into the flumes of sacrifice for others. Pang for others; woe for others; death for others; vicarious suffering.

Heaven Very Near. Oh. Christian workers, we have got to freshen up. What i.s the use of our gang back in the Christian classes to hied an illustrath ii o: the victorious Christian deathbed when my personal friend, Alfr'-d Cuo’um in. a f.vw years ago wont away in as imperial grandeur as did Ldward I’ayson? is it any less an illustration to me and to you be cause I met him a few weeks before in trout of Trinity church. Broadway, and I said. “Cookman, you look as if you were working too hard?” Where in ail the classics is there such a story as that of Cookman. when in his last mo ment he cried. "I am sweeping through the gates washed in the blood of the Lamb?” What is the use of going away off te get an illustration wh**i> in a house on Third avenue. Brooklyn. I saw a wo man dying, and she said, “Mr. Tal ma go. heaven used to be to me a great way off. but it now is just sit the foot of the bed?” What is the use of your going away off to get Illustrations of a victorious deathbed when all Wales was filled with the story of the dying experience of Frances Ridley Haver- gal? She got her feet wet standii g on the ground preaching temperance and the gospel to a group of boys and men. went home with a chill, and conges tion set in, and they told her she was dangerously sick. “I thought so.” she said, “but it is really too good to la- true that I am going. Doctor, do you really think I am going?” “Yes." “Today?” “Probably.” She said. “Beau tiful. splendid, to be so near the gate of heaven.” Then after a spasm of pain she nestled down in the pillows and said, “There, now. it is all over- blessed rest.” Then she tried to sing, and she struck one glad note, high note of praise to Christ, but could sing only one word, “he,” and then all was still. She finished It in Leaven. Oh, fellow Christian workers, what is the use of our being stale and obso lete and ancient when all around us are these evidences of God’s grace, God’s deliverance, God’s mercy and find’s 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 to church than If you throw corn ou liie ground you have to coax pigeons to come and eat it, no more than you would have to coax a tired horse to eat the oafs you throw in his manger. Yes, we must freshen up in our Sunday schools and in our prayer meetings and in our pulpits. Chnreh Needs No Apologies. It Is high time that the church of God stopped writing apologies for the church. Let the men who are on the outside, who despise religion, write the apologies. If any people do not want the church, they need not hav * it. It is a free country. If any man does not want the gospel, lie need not have It. It Is a free country. But you go out, oh, people of God. and give the gospel to the millions of America who do want It. It is high time we stop skirmishing and bring on a general engagement. I want to live to see the Armageddon, all the armies of heaven and hell in battle array, for I know our Conqueror on the white horse will gain the day. Let the church of God be de voted to nothing else, but go right on to tills conquest. When Moses with his army was try ing to conquer the Ethiopians, profane history says It was expected that be would go in a roundabout way and come by the banks of the river, as other armies had done, because the straight route was Infested with snakes, and uo army and no man had dared to go across tills serpent Infest ed region. But Moses sui prised them. He sent his men out to gather up ibis es. The ibis is a bird celebrated for serpent slaying, and these ibises were gathered into crates and into baskets, und they were carried at the head of the army of Moses, and, coining up to the serpent infested region, the crates were opened, and the ibises flew forth, and the way was cleared, and the ar my of Moses marched right on and cnine so unexpectedly on the Ethiopi ans that they flew in wild dismay. O church of God, you are not to march in a roundabout way, but to go straight forward, depending upon winged influ ences to clear the way. Hosts of the living God, march on, march on! Church attr ndanee. large now, is going to be larger yet. The sky Is ’'Tighten ing in every direction. I am glad for the boy und girl live years old: I think them may see the millwmilum. The wheel of Christian progress has never made one revolution backward. The world uioies, the kingdom advances. All nations will yet salute the stand ards of Prince Immanuel. To him b» glory In the church throughout all ages. Amen! (Copyright, 1901, Lo’jii Kloptch, N.
