Now, my brother, if you believe In
Jesus Christ and hope some day to be
saved by him why is it that your belief
does not affect your life? Why are you
not man enough to go and work in his
vineyardV Your slothful, lazy habits,
in a spiritual sense, ought to make you
despise yourself and have utter con

to your church. You know it is ingrain

But I would like to speak a word
before I close to the good, moral, Chris

is not a church member. You are
ready to confess him in private con

though in that way you might help
the women who are laboring in the
gospel. In spite of orthodox doetrjne
I shrink from the thought that you
will ever lie ultimately destroyed. But
this I do know—your actions in refus

means of destroying scores and scores
of immortal souls.
That church membership is a mighty
help to every man in his struggle to
lead a truer, purer, nobler Christian
life there is no doubt. Every true
Christian is a better Christian when he,
gives his alle

his name to be placed upon the church

Now, if you despise a shirk in pleas

how Is it that you are willing to be

brother, believing in Jesus Christ and
hoping some day to lie eternally saved
by bis blood, ought in common hon

toward the church are Just as despica
ble and contemptible as the shirking
characteristics which you despise in
others. You are practically saying to
yourself: “I want to some day reach

my wife, my mother, my sister, my
daughter, to do all my praying and

The Duty of At a u.
Every true man knows that his wife
is not as useful and active a member
if the Christian church when she goes
to church alone as she would be if her
husband were ready to go by her side
and help her In her Christian endeavor
to spread the gospel. The marital^ties
are very sacred. They unify in more
ways than one the twain who once
stood at the nuptial altar. After a
husband and a wife have been living
together for many, many years they

ship? Do it without a public profession
of Jesus Christ before the church al
tars?
Being able by the grace of God to
persuade a good, moral, upright man to j
publicly profess Jesus Christ in a
church aisle was the means. I believe,
by which I have accomplished my
greatest single work for good in the
gospel ministry w That man was one of
the leading millionaires of Pittsburg.
velt, “I had not charged the enemy at rigious faith without lifting a hand no t only begin to think alike, but also Every one who knew him was ready tc
a dead run I would have been run

hill, and he should have his share of
the glory, which belongs not to Theo
dore Roosevelt or any other officer
alone.
Tilt* AVoiuitu Behind the Gnxpel Gap.
But, though in military parlance we
may talk about the “man behind the
gun,” we cannot in the church mili
tant. It is the “woman behind the gos
pel gun” who for centuries upon cen-
1#ries has borne the greatest brunt of
religious strife, it is the “woman be
hind the gospel gun” in the luime, in
the church, on the street, in the coun
try, in the city and in the foreign
missions who has carried the name of
Jesus Christ all around the world. If
is the “woman behind the gospel gun”
who has won the greatest gospel vic
tories for our churches in the past.
Therefore the purpose of this sermon
i|| to make a manly plea to tin* fathers
and husbands, brothers and sons, of
the families of our churches to take
their positions in religious work beside
their mothers and wives, sisters and
daughters.
Nearly every man in my audience
today is a believer in Jesus Christ. It
is so with other churches. Infidels and
agnostics are still numerous, unhap
pily, but they are not in our churches,
aud the voice from the pulpit does not
reach their ears. My ministry so far
as preaching to Infidels and atheists
and agnostics is concerned is practical
ly ended. Theodore Cuyler, the grand
old man of the Brooklyn pulpit, lately
declared that in a ministry of over
sixty years he had never yet preached
a sermon upon the divine authenticity
of the Scriptures. He believed that
almost every person with whom his
work came in contact was not only a
believer in the Bible, but also in the
divinity »f Jesus Christ. I believe that
Dr. Cuyler is right. 1 believe that ev
ery man in church today is not only a
believer in Jesus Christ, but that he
also expects some day to receive Christ
as his Saviour and to lie redeemed
from sin by the atonement of the cross.
Chrlnt’a NuvinK Power.
You show the fact involuntarily, al
most automatically. I can prove to
you in very few words that you are a
believer in the saving power of a divine
Christ. How do you act? What do you
say in a crisis? Supposing you were
swept off tin* deck of a transatlantic
steamer like Captain Courageous in
Rudyard Kipling’s story? What would
be the first cry which would involun
tarily come to your lips? Would you
not call out at the top of your voice,
"My God, help?" Supposing you were
caught In a blizzard upon the western
prairie. After you had for hours been
floundering around aud around in the
ever deepening snow, would you not,
with your benumbed faculties, moan:
b "O Christ, save me! O Christ, save
" me!” When we were climbing over
the Johnstown mins a few days after
the awful Concmangh flood, Rev. Dr.
Beale told me that during the pande
monium of death a saloon keeper, us ho
was sweeping by, ennght hold of his
church’s steeple. As he hung there he
was heard again and again to beseech
God for ids life. Mr. Moody said that
when he was returning from Europe
on the last trip of his life the steamer
for a whole day was every moment ex-
4 peeted to go to the bottom. Then he
heard men everywhere publicly pray
ing to God for help—men who, perhaps,
had not publicly or privately' prayed to
God for years. Their prayers at that
time proved conclusively that most men
do believe in Jesus Christ; that most
for Christ, without doing one stroke of
work in the Master’s service.” Oh, my
brother, such a statement as that is so
mean and despicable I do not believe
you have ever fully realized what your
gospel shirking lias signified. Come,
man, and be a true man in the spiritu
al as well as in the temporal way.
Come and take off your coat in holy
enthusiasm. Do not compel the wom
en folks of your families lo longer
bear the brunt of the gospel struggle.
At It in the name of the Jx>rd Jesus!
At It now! At It all the time! Hear
the plea of the manliest rhristiau man
who ever lived. This plea he made to
men: "Help those women! Help
those women!” Help them now.
A strong, robust, manly man compels
tin* admiration of other men. There is
a popular theory abroad that a manly
man can never fascinate the mascu
line world as a beautiful woman can.
Rut I do not think that that theory is
true. I know it is not in my own case.
I also know it is not true with many
of my gentlemen friends. Often, when
walking through the crowded thor-
oughtares of Chicago. I have hud a
member of my family say, "Did ynu
ever see a more beautiful face than
that?” “Who? Where?” I would ask.
“Why, that beautiful woman who was
walking there with that man.” "Oh.”
I would answer. “I did not see the
woman, but I did see the man. I was
watching him very closely. My! He
w;us a strong man. There was a some
thing in the look of his eye, in the set
of his mouth, in the strength of his
shoulders and in his well poised, self
confident walk that proved to me he
was a leader among men. I did not see
the woman, but what a fine sih-cimen
of a man he was!” I believe that the
fascination which a strong man has
upon me is the same fascination which
he has upon all men exisirt those men
tal weaklings and masculine nonenti
ties who think that the chief purpose
for which a man was created was to
eat and sleep, to dress and undress.
If a manly man is to have such a
great influence upon other men, who
will he able to do your Christian work
unless you are willing to do it? There
arc persons and spheres which you. aud
only you, can reach. The women who
have labored with I’aul In the gospel
cannot do it. Your mother, wife, or
sister, or daughter cannot do it. You
know that there are today dowm in
your store some clerks whom no human
being can touch for Christ as you,
their employer, can touch, if you will.
Would you not be a Christian mer
chant like William E. Dodge, or a
Christian statesman like Governor
George N. Briggs, or a Christian soldier
like General O, O. Howard or A. W.
Reilly, or a Christian physician like
Charles Jewett, or a Christian lay
president of a college like Msrk Hop
kins? These men had great influence
in the financial, or the professional, or
the political realm. Their greatest and
most fur reaching influence, however,
w r as when, ns earnest, oonseersted
Christian leaders, they stood tx fpre the
young men of this world as living ex
amples of faith in Jesus Christ. They
were manly Christians in the busy
marts appealing to#men.
True Courage.
Would you not like to be a Christian
scientist like Henry Drummond? Borne
people are foolish enough to suppose
that his greatest work was In the l»c-
tures on natural history, which'be first
delivered before ids classes in the Free
Church college of Glasgow. But I tell
you that the greatest of all the work
Henry Drummond did in his life was
done when he stood before the young
university men of Edinburgh, gathered
to grow to look alike. I have again
and again noticed the similarity of
looks which are seen upon the faces
of aged husbands and wives wd>o have
long lived side by side. They have un
consciously absorbed parts of each oth
er's physical as well as mental person
alitles. Ho when a husband is an ir
religious man. a noneburebgoer, a
scoffer, a ridiculer, his sneers and
shortcomings have a marked evil effect
upon the life of the Christian woman
who at tlie marriage altar has pledged
to him her love and lier life. She may
fight against deterioration as she will,
but in spite of herself she cannot be
as good a woman as if she hud married
a good Christian man, who has lioen
consecrated to the service of the lA>rd
Jesus Christ from the day that he left
his mother's home.
Husbands, in view of this tremendous
fact, are you ready today to curtail

year in and year out he went among
the business men of the Smoky City
as a good, moral man and not as a
Christian man. The young man said:
“Well, if I can be as straight and true
ns Mr. So-and-So, that is all 1 ask. I
guess my chance for heaven will be

made by the young men. I made up
