Frank DeWitt Talmatfe, D.D. Los AnsMes. Cal.. May 20.—That the Civiue power for life and service con- j forred on the disciples at Pentecost is 1 still accessible to present day Chris- | (ians and will be conferred on those j who fulfill its conditions is the conteu- , tiou of the preacher in this sermon on the text Luke xxiv. 40, “Until ye lx* endued with power from on high.’’ While I was pondering on this text like a flash this sentence rose to my 1 lips: “How many men and women there are who have all the mighty ele ments for gospel power except the one fact that they are not developed! What service they might render as gospel evangelists if they would only follow the leadings of Jesus Christ and plead with him that they might he baptized ! with the power of the Holy Ghost.” These men and women are like the dis- ! cipies of Jesus Christ before the day | of Pentecost. They believe in Jesus. ] lu one sense they have been followers j of Christ, but in another sense they have not had their souls fired with the | | living coals from off his altars. These men and women are in exactly the J same position as was Dwight L. Moo- 1 y during the first years of his minis- Wben James A. Garfield was elected president of the United States, one day he said to his secretary of state: “Blaine, all my life I have been study ing the theories of government, but since I have been elected president in stead of thinking about theories I have had to spend most of my time listening to the pleas of candidates for office. Who is to be postmaster of Springfield or district attorney of Chicago or judge of Ohio has monopolized all my atten tion ” So you say: “I have not had time to think whether Christ is super natural or not or whether he can give me supernalural power or not. I have been using up my time In service and not in theories. I have been trying to obey the voice of God, who tells me to aerator from Oregon, and he was the mrfii who left thg United States sena torial hails clad in a soldier's uniform to lay down his life at Ball’s Bluff, with these words upon his lips: “A senator of the United States should never retreat.” But with all his intel lectuality and mental ability do you not consider that it was presumptuous for the boy, Edward Dickinson Baker, to feel that he would yet have ability enough to he elected president of the United States? It is possible for any boy to 1h> elected chief executive of this nation, but is it probable that your son or mine ’should ever grace the White House? We )>elieve in the the ory, but to very few is it an actual possibility.

After f * !r in New York <: I tank o') Wail stre : felt a strange and 1: ing over me. I wr md there in my room I wept before God and cried. ‘O my God. stay thy hand!’ He gave me such fullness that it seemed more than I could contain. May God forgive me if I speak in a boastful way. but I do not know that I have preached a sermon since hut God has given me some soul. Oh, I would not lie back where I was four years ago for all the wealth of this world. If you would roll it at my feet j I would kick it away like a football. I I seem a wonder to some of you. but j I am a greater wonder to myself than to any one else. These are the very same sermons I preached in Chicago word for word. It is not new sermons, but the power of God. It is not a new gospel, but the old gospel with the Holy Ghost of power.” This is the tes timony of the greatest winner of souls in the evangelistic field of the last cen tury. Brethren, we desire this higher pow- pr. As ministers we want it. Pome of ns. like Vr. ?' )idy, have spent the !a-t on ce of energy in fhe preparation of sermon.

They saw him raise Lazarus from the tomb. They believed that just as a shipbuilder :*ould knock out a rotten plank from the hull of the boat he had once built and put a new plank in its place, so Jesus Christ, who bad created the body, could put in a new eye in the \ 'dace of a bUnd eye. He actually per- 1 formed this miracle In tbe physical ! lody again and again before their own ' ryes. They believed in his Inspiring ! power. Just as man can today take :he currents of electricity which he has trodu<-ed and carry thos- currents over ( 1 wire and store them up in an electric machine called an automobile they be lieved that this Jesus, who is a super natural Christ, could transmit his pow er into the lives of his disciples if lie wished so to do. In other words, they looked upon Christ as a supernatural 1 neing, able to give supernatural gifts to those to whom lie wistie! to give those gifts. Do you Isdieve that Christ is a supernatural being and able to do tills as tiie disciples of old believed it on | tbe days preceding Pente<-ost? Well” you answer, “to tell the truth. tie a guide for the blind. I truly try to live right. I do all the good I can to as many people us I can in as many different ways as I can. Therefore I let hair splitting theological questions alone. Whether Christ i: divine or not. whether he can give to his disciples a | supernatural gift, rarely enters my mind. To tell the truth, I do but little else than try to help my fellow men, and 1 guess God does not care much ! what I think about Christ as long as I try to serve him as faithfully find ear nestly as I can.” Ah, my friends, you are wrong. It does make a good deal of difference in reference to your gospel work what you think about Christ. It may mean the difference be tween the possible higher power and the lower spiritual life. Work* Without Faith. “Faith without works is dead.” But without faith in the divinity of Jesus Christ and in his supernatural power “works” in the sight of God are worse than dead. The lack of faith in Christ means that you are utterly devoid of the Christ power. This belief in Christ is the very foundation of the gospel. What would you think of an architect who takes you down to the seashore and shows you a beautiful temple which lie has erected upon the sands? Oh, it is exquisite in design. The lights come shining through the most expen sive of glass windows. The altars are rich with gold and beautiful tapestries. The floors are exquisite mosaics. The dome is a perfect heaven of bine. What would you think if that architect, after he had taken you through that building, would reply to you when you asked: | "How are the foundations of this beau tiful structure? Are they strong and true?” “Oh, I did not put much work on the foundations.' Instead of digging them deep and strong, where all the work would be hidden from the eyes of man, I simply builded these walls upon the surface. I expended all my energies upon the superstructure.” | What w'ould you think of a ship de signer who did not lay the keel of his ship straight and true? Why, on the day of the launching of that ixiat the hull would turn “turtle,” or In the flrsi great storm at sea that boat would go to pieces or sink with all on board. | Now, it is not sufficient in the Chris- j tian life for a man to say, “I am all right because I have visited the sick and fed the hungry and was eyes to the blind.” It is not sufficient for the archi tect to say, “I am all right because I have worked hard and builded my su perstructure well.” It is not rational for the shiii designer to talk about set ting his masts before he has laid his keel well. The questions of the divin ity of Christ and the divine power of Christ are the most vital questions in th** gospel life. It is a foundation ques tion. This question precedes all other questions. “Whom say ye that I am?” Jesus asked the disciples of old. Deter answered. “Thou art tbe Christ, the son of tiie living God.” Do you answer thus? Do you believe thus? Do you be lieve in the supernatural power of J Jesus as the disciples did when they gathered in Jerusalem to be endued with power from on high? These disciples believed that Christ could give his supernatural power to I his disciples if he would. They did more. They iielieved that Christ would give to them, as Individuals, this super- ! natural power, if they were only obedi ent to his divine commands and tar ried still in Jerusalem until they were endued with power from on high. Now, it is one fact to feel that Christ can give to others his power if he would or that he will give to me indi vidually bis higher power if I am will ing to obey his commands and do as he wishes me to do. Let me explain this demarcation. Realising PoMlbllltlea. All American boys are born free and equal. All have a possibility of some i day being elected president of the I United States if they live. We were all taught this theory from the cradle. The story of Lincoln, the rail splitter, and of James A. Garfield, following the towpath, have been repeated again and again in almost ever?' nursery. But though the poor boy, the boy of the humble home, may yet be elected presi dent of the United States, do we in the highest flights of our Imagination sup pose that our own boys will ever be Christ is ready to endue us. We know he can give it, and we know there are some to whom he does give it, but we think it is not for us. These disciples of Pentecost first believed that Christ could give this Supernatural power to his disciples if he would, because he was divine; second, that he would give it to them as individuals if they would only obey God's commands and tarry in Jerusalem until they were endued with power from on high. Are we ready to believe that Christ will give us this higher power if we obey his commands? A frnolnl Te»t. Oh, that is a crucial test of faith! It is not difficult for me to understand how God could give the higher power to a Moody or a Finney or a Wesley or a Peter or a James or a John or a Mary on the day of Pentecost, but that he will give to me this higher power if I obey his will—ah, me, that is hard to believe! And yet is not God keeping his promises with those who are men tally and physically no stronger or better than you or 1? Some time ago I was riding out to the grave of a southern lady who had been a member of my church. Among the pallbearers was a gentleman who. with all his family, had lieen rescued from the Galveston flood of a few years ago. I said, “Tell me about it.” Then lie told me how the waters rose higher and higher. First they came to the top of the gates. Then they rose to the first floors. They grew higher and higher when the winds in an angry hurricane blew them in. Then the people were drowned, not by the hundreds, but by the thousands. The walls tottered. The houses were battered to pieces. Flying through the air went great beams. It was death overhead. It was death all around. It was death everywhere. The dead were so many that after the water had subsided they were piled into Ixiats and taken out and dumped into the gulf stream. They were too many even to be buried. “How did you feel during that awful tragedy?” I asked. “As calm as I do now.” he replied. “ I knew that in the face of this storm and flood no human arm could save me. Human help was beyond the question. It could do uo good if it came. I could not swim. Besides that, 1 had in my house a wife and two little children and five or six old people who had come there for shelter. So when the storm was raging its fiercest I gathered them all togeth er in an upper room. Then I said: 'Friends, the Bible tells us that if we come to God in believing prayer and ask of him anything we will he will grant us that request. Now. I believe God will save us if w-o ask him. Do you believe as 1 believe?’ ‘Yes,’ they said. Then we all knelt and we all prayed. When I arose, I felt that God would save us. I never had a tremor aixmt the result. He did save us. Aft er awhile a roof came floating past. My aged negro servant caught it. He held it for a little while by the side of the house. I placed the whole family ujion the roof. Then I climbed there myself. It was an awful night No horror could l>e greater than those hours we passed through. Yet all through the night I kept saying: T be lieve. I believe. I believe lie will save us. I believe.' And save us he i did.” Could you in a time of trouble make a believing prater like that? Could you appropriate to yourself the promise as he did? Do you believe God will bless you as an individual if you obey his commandments the same as he blessed his people in tbe Gal veston flood and blessed the disciples of old who tarried still in Jerusalem until they were endued with power from on high? Why the Power Cone. But these disciples of old did more than to simply believe that Christ would give to them the higher power if they would obey his commands. Dur ing the days preceding Pentecost, by prayer, by supplication and by conse cration of their full lives to God, they put themselves into a proper condition to receive this power of the Holy Spirit. They not only threw themselves upon the divine love, but they prayed and kept on praying something like this: “O God, cleanse me from sin! O God, make me a clean vessel for the spirit life! O God, take all selfishness and fleeted chief executive of this nation? meannesa and world lines out of my We know it is possible, but do we feel , life! O God. may I live and breathe thfct there is any probability of thia and plan and work only for thceT la possibility coming true? Furthermore, not that your Idea of how the disciples when we were young, in the wildest of old passed the days in Jerusalem flights of our Imagination did we ever preceding the moment when the power have the assurance of the successful of the Holy Spirit came upon them in outcome of our own powers, as did tongues of fire?

One day the lad of twelve was found weeping by a school friend. “Wliat is the mat ter, Eddie?” he asked. “Oh,” said Ed die, “I have Just been reading my American history and I find out that ings upon our lips, do you not believe that Christ w’ould also endue us with power from on high? If I might l>e pardoned a simile, my idea of those days preceding Pentecost were not like our evangelistic meet ings when a preacher would stand up by the American constitution no for- and deliver a text and then have an In- eign born child can ever be elected president of the United States. Ever since I could think and plan I have been planning what I should do when I liecame president of the United States.” 'Tls true this unknown lad became troduction and a conclusion. They wive rather like the days of the Welsh revival of 1905. There, I am told, the lieople crowded into the churches, and there was no set leader. Now a hymn would b4 started. Now the promises of God would be repeated by many differ ent f Ups. Now a testimony would be given. Now an earnest prayer would be lifted up. The meetings would.not start at 7 or 8 o’clock and run for an hour and a half and have every one look at his watch if the service went a second over ninety minutes. But there the meetings would start at any time. Then when the meetings once got started they would run on an 1 on, sometimes five or even ten hours long, as though the Christian peo;dp were loath to leave each other and go home and go to sleep. Yes, the Welsh revival was to me an exact duplication of the days preceding Pentecost. In tin* Ipper Chnnilier. Come, let me take you to the upper chamber in Jerusalem. It is the year JO A. D. It is about the 1st of June or the beginning of summer. All the hillsides about Jerusalem are covered with flowers. As we come to this up- jier chamber, which was supposed to belong to the Evangelist Mark, who was one of the biographers of Jesus, we find that these disciples had been abiding there for nearly ten days, or ever since the ascension. I hear a woman’s sweet voice lifted in prayer. It is the voice of Mary, the mother of Christ. The voice goes something like this: “O Lord Jesus, I cared for thee when thou wert a child. I am thy mother, but thou art my Lord. Send thy spirit into our midst. Come quick ly with thy power. Come and cleanse us from all sin.” Then as the prayer died away in pleading sobs methinks* I hoar a voice starting a song as we sometimes hear in a Methodist gather ing. but instead of a Methodist hymn the voice leads the little gathering through the noble melodies of the grand old Twenty-third Psalm of Da vid. which is a promise in music. And as the climax is reached a strange spiritual influon -e sweeps over the room when the voices chorus that last grand verse, “Surely goodness a ad mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of tiie Lord forever.” „ Then for a little while silence reigns. Why, it Is so still that you can almost hear each heart beat. Then another sob. Then Peter arises and says: “Oil. brethren, why did I deny him? Why did I desert him at tiie saddest moment of his life? I can now see him turning his great loving eyes upon me. I de- Thousands Hare Kidney Trouble and Don't Know it. How To Find Out.

But he forgives me, even me.” Then the prayer and the supplications and the confessions go on. But on the tenth day. while they were still praying, suddenly each man and woman and child turned to- | ward the others and cried: “Look! j Look! See the flames! It is the maui- | festatiou of the Holy Spirit.” And, oh. i my friends, if we come to God lieliev- I ing that he would bless us if we asked i him and if we would only meet and 1 I)raj' and agonize and consecrate our- } selves to his service as the disciples of i old did on tiie day of Pentecost do you ! not l>elieve Christ would give to us the i higher power of gospel life? He will. Will you not therefore here and now start forth to seek your Pentecost and begin to plead and to consecrate your whole life to the Master's service? Oime WIm-ii Moot Needed. But I cannot close without just one thought more. This baptism of the power of the Holy Spirit came to the disciples of old in the days when they felt their greatest need of the promis ed comforter or supernatural power. The crucifixion was over. Yes. The resurrection had come. Yes. But one day less than two weeks before sud dcnly Christ had again departed. Up from the Mount of Ascension lie went: higher and higher until his body dis appears behind the clouds; higher and higher until in bodil.v presence he was gone forever. Oil. the unulterzble lone- iihess wul helplessness! Christ gone, upon wnom were thej* to lean? Then came the power of the Holy Spirit. That power is ready to descend upon j-ou if you only prepare yourself for God’s gitt. Friend, jou need this higher power. You need it now. Let me see; bow long ago did she die—she who was so much to j'our spiritual life? You need this higher i»ower. You need it now. Last Sunday as a preacher you deliv ered a sermou which was lu a literary sense a poetic gem. But after you fin ished you knew as a messenger of Christ that it rang false all through. You need tills i»ower in the home. In your own strength you cannot rear that family aright for God. Can It be that we are going to refuse longer to seek this power of the higher spiritual life? It is said that on March 14, 1900, the British steamer Phenlx foundered at sea off the hanks of Newfoundland and nearly all on board were lost be cause its hull was battered to pieces by the barrels and heavy fixtures which were torn from the ship’s deck and then by the waves hurled against the ship’s side, until under these battering rams the ship went down. My Lord and my God. shall we he eternally de stroyed for service for thee because we continue to refuse to seek thy higher power? Shall we not seek this high power as thy disciples of old did at Pentecost? Shall these continued re fusals to seek that higher power de stroy us as ?he deck debris of the Brit ish steamer destroyed her off the New foundland hanks? Listen, friend.
