"Remove sot the ancient lane mark !" The only argument ever us?d i defense of old methods is their age. As role, age causes a deterioration in a things, except ia wise and oh ure methods. Meanwhile, within the church ao without, the question is daily being pul . "What is che matter? The chore sectas to be losing im hold apo? mes. I have come before you to-night t bring, in part, at lease; as answer t that perplexing question. ?Let us star st the beginning. I. THE WORLD r8 PROGRESS. The world has pat os its seven Ieagu boots. Tes of these years are equal ti fifty of any other generation the worh bas ever sees Men have given them selves to hosest study is all the fields of science, and fresh revelations an daily made. Loud knocking has beet heard at every door, aod the earth, th? sea. the air, are surrendering theil long-hidden secrets. It is wonderful to think that among all the new things, no man has created a principle or au ounce of power. Everything new h hut the new application of an old prin? ciple, or the new application of an old power? Two thousand years ago, fire and water would have furnished power, or the latent electric currents could have carried messages, if men bad ooly known how to yoke them io harness. The discoveries made by some have provoked others to the same labor, and now .the whole world is seeking for nature's secrets and prying into her mysteries. The most marvelous, reve? lation would create but a slight sensa? tion among the men of to-day, because we are all in sn expectant attitude, pre? paring to welcome new measures, and adopt sew methods, assess they be of a religiosa sort. 1. Io the practice of medicine we see great progress. A new book with a new theory is born every day. The man who sow loses his practice, aod is relegated to the rear, is the man who refuses to purchase books, and so keep step with the progress of the profession. The church itself, so-called, was once opposed to the science of medicioe, and when a school to teach the science was first set up in Europe it had to win the consent of both priest and monk before it could work open? ly. It is not very long since the prac? tice of medicioe won the confidence of meo. Washington and Napoleon both denounced it Washington, in his last illness, refused to be treated except at the most urgent entreaty of his wife. Napoleon said a man needed nothing but fresh air and exercise when sick. The red stripes on the barbers sign are a relic of the past. The ! barber gave pills, pulled teeth, aod j bled people as & part of bis profession, ? and the red paint alternating with white and blue was a mark of his call? ing. We can imagine its crudeness. Mr. Bryan, one of our missionaries to China, told me recently of the method of coring rheumatism employed amoog the Chinese. The sufferer was a child. She was brought from ber bouse screaming, held tightly by two strong i men. The doctor, alighting from his camel, plunged a sharp instrument into the girl%> shoulder. His belief was that a little devil was imprisoned there and caused the pain, and by puncturing a hole, the demon could escape, and the pain would be relieved. We laugh at such superstition, and call it the pro? duct of heathenism; but our forefathers knew bot little better. When Charles II was dyiog, foorteen doctors were summoned, the wisest in London. The prescriptions used were signed by the fourteen. The patient was bled copiously. A bot iron was applied to his head, a loathsome salt, extracted from human skulls, was forced into bis mooth. Some of the doctors said his fit was epileptic; some, that it was apoplectic. At last they agreed to call his complaint a fever, whereat, one of the physicians reported to the queen ? that the ethers would sorely kill the king. This ?sas scene, mark you, in a royal household. To day the whole method bas been changed. Some diseases, as. small pox, have almost bees banished from the earth. The most' delicate operations upon the human organism are performed without pain to the subject. The number of i specific remedies is regularly i ocre iog, aod a new world is opeoiog to t physician. 2. In education. . the same ho true. The spirit of the age was, centuries, opposed to education. Fr< erick the Great caned bis son's instr tor for reading to the boy a story Latin. Harvard College was at fi supported by the fees taken in a ferry across the Charles River, and t people werecafleoT' ipon td give tor support at least one bushel of corn p annum. The idea of a munifioe endowment had never occurred to me Our Puritan forefathers believed ? an education which enabled one to re the Bible, was sufficient. The wiitin of George Washington bad all to revised and the spelling correct before they were given to the pre? When Washington wrote for a "rhea of paper.,, a "beaver batt," ora "pa of sattin" shoes, there was no Webst unabridged at band. The enti number of days that Abraham Lineo spent at school hardly exceeded 01 whole year. His mother sought teach him, but the neighbors dispa aged ber efforts, and said education wi of little value. Fifty years ago, schoolmasters wei tyrants and executioners, and achoo were jails and prisons. Martin Luth* said be got fifteen lashings in ot morning. A hundred years ago,* tl children of English nobility wei taught dancing, fencing and riding and when a certain Barnet suggeste that they be taught history and get graphy, he was ridiculed. In the daj of Charles II, the heir to an estate ba no better teacher than bis father groom or gamekeeper. He was ool expected to know bow to sample grain grade pigs and test wine. Sir Williai Berkeley, colonial Governor of Vii gin ia, said " the ministers should pra oftener, and preach less ; learning ba brought disobedience and heresy an sects into the world, %nd printing ba divulged them " John Banyan coal? neither spell nor compose properly, bare seen it stated somewhere that large proportion of tho barons wb signed a plea for tbe Magna Chart could not write their names, but simp! made their marks before a witness. We have lived to enjoy better things Church and State sre now the patron of education. The free school idea ba swept over all the States. The churcl which is not engaged in education i the church that is dying. The college and universities are daily becomio( heirs to large estates. Our own denom inatiou bas received over three milliooi from Mr. Rockefeller for ooe school o late. The boy who does not receive a fat English education in these days is th< boy who does not waot it. The appli anees for torching, for the comfort o the scholars, and for meeting all possible iemands, are increasing year by year and the world, in its mighty rounds, bai some to the blessed age of books anc schools. 3..Of agriculture the same is true McCormick, who invented the reapei and other machines, is justly regarded as the world's great benefactor. lu Bogland, for centuries, six bushels ol wheat per acre was an average yield. Drainage was unknown, and thoosabds ol acres of the best lands were regarded as worthless. Rotation of crops was nevet thought of, and if a man did not make enough to feed his cattle by a single planting, it never occurred to him to plaot again for winter ose aod harvest, bot the cattle were left to perish. Up to a hundred years ago, an iron plow was unknown, and the face of the earth was barely scratched with a little piece of wood. Thc horse was cruelly fasten? ed to the plow and compelled to pull by bis tail. The fields which now support a millioo people were once unable to produce food for a hundred thousand. With the present appliances, and with? out clearing another acre, America sould welcome to its shores, and give bread aod meat to every aaa living upon the habitable globe. 4. Concerning manufactures, I know Qot where to begin The work that cannot now be done by machinery is bardly worth thc doing, lt is not very long since the cotton picked from the Seid by day was separated from the seed by hand at night, around the Family fireside. In 1754, when the Bostonians gave an industrial exposi? tion, it was composed of three hundred women seated at spinning wheels on the Boston common. Complaint was once made in England and the factories were shut down? on the ground that the burning of fuel in the furnaces vgould iestroy the forests. Even the govern? ment legislated against manufacturing enterprises. Charles I granted a patent to a company of soap manufacturers, and DO one else in Eogland was allowed to make soap. While under British rule, Dur forefathers were oot allowed to make aoything io America which could be furnished by Eoglaod. We read now of meo who have a "corner" in wheat or sugar. Our mother country had the same thing, and were thrashed out for having it ; and when there is a great riot or revolution in this country, ic will result from these same "corners." It is not right for men who are wealthy, and can raise five hundred millions of money, to buy up all the wheat or sugar that is io the market, and then raise the price, so as to add to their millions. If a riot is ever provoked by inch heartless aod godless monopoly, I'd rather be coan ted in than out. The | proverb is false which says "might! makes right " 5. Our commerce now rides upon the wings of the wind. Railroad trains go whirling over the ieee of the earth, and the white-winged ships fly over the sea. The law of commerce and the treaties ire observed allover (he world. There was a time when a ship from a fore port was seised and made prey Every patt of the oceao wes io fes with pirates, aod death} rod? upon white-capped sea No attention i paid to roadways, aod County Comu siooers had not been invented 0: the stoutest horses could wade thron the bog, and the fruits of the earth w allowed to rot tn the barns, becas they could not be transported to mark 6. The same holds good with referei to the facilities of travel and intercouT Our fathers traveled three miles hour; we'grumble if we do not ma thirty. Prom 1870 to 1880, there m built in the United Sutes over for one thousand miles of railroads. In 181 the cheapest passage from Europe America was one hundred dollars : o the cheapest rate in the steerage eight dollars. At the beginning of tl century, there was little or no trav Men lived in isolated communities, stranger was regarded as an enemy, is only eighty-fi?e years shies Fultoi steamboat, made its first trip up t Hodson. Fifty-four years ago, t ocean was first crossed by meaos steam. An Englishman stood on t other shore, and said he would eat t boiler of the first steamer that crosse The oldest railway passenger train but twenty years older than I am. 7. Along with all this, the work morals have been improved in mai directions, and man's conception right and wrong greatly quickeue As late as 1815, there were foui thirty-nine cases of wives exposed public sale in Smithfield, England. 1 Virginia, the girls were bartered awi for tobacco. Until this cen tur nothing was cheaper than bnman lif Io our mother-country, there were tv hundred and tweny-three offenses ? which the punishment was death, a man killed a rabbit unlawfully, I was hanged. If be appeared publia1 in disguise, or cot do wo yoong tree or stole property valued at five shilling or wrote a threatening letter to exto money-for all these he was banged. But all this progress has come as ti result of vast labor io all tbe fields < study. Just as Agassis lived ft toooths opoo the shores of tbe Amasoi studying out some of nature's problem so others have toiled io other placet aod the great caravan is ?till moviog oi After a boy bas begun to walk aod tait be is sometimes subject to uuaocouni able paius over his body. The ol folks called them "growing pains Sometimes I have almost been willie to believe that these convulsions so panics and revolutions, of wbioh os papers tell us daily, are the gres world's growing pains, and men can nc even now imagine the g?eat things tba are coming. ' But lo ! we are brought face to fae with the appalling fact. II. THE CHURCH IS STANDING STILI The church methods and measure are just what they were generation ago, nor do men cling to them upon th ground that they are of divine appoint ment, but rather because they are oh and agreeable. A church with two hundred ant fifty members, which receives only fou or five additions per year, should surelj begin to suspect that something ii wrong. If a man sowed ten bushels p wheat, and only reaped one, he wouh quit the business ; yet tbe "garden o the Lord" is noe, even as productive at that. It is manifest to my mind that out method of preaching and conducting services is a failure. We forgive our? selves by saying, the Lord does not see fit to bless us, and go on doing this year just what we did last, and all tc as little purpose. If these plans of ours are all that we can have, I am free to say to you, they are a failure, and the case is hopeless But must we not have plans and methods? Certainly! but it is a great mistake to expect re? sults from mere methods. Somewhere there must be a spiritual energy,and that is never manifest from beaven except through the people as the divinely chosen chancel. God has always used men to save men, and if the men who receive the gospel have no spiritual energy, the men who have not the gospel will die without it. Behind all methods there must be a spiritual power among the people. This power is lacking, and this is our great deficiency. But the fact that is passing strange is. that the church seeing its failure, and knowing that it is accomplishing nothing, should yet be satisfied to go on in the same way from year to year. The people who come to us come most generally from godly homes, from the midst of the best and highest influences, while the great world of sinners is marchiog to destruction under the sound of music, aod the church never reaches them. Yet, very few make aoy complaint, and the church seems satis? fied to look on unconcerned at the great army of the lost. J The organization of the Salvation Army is a fearful criticism of the church methods. That Army is made up of those who are willing, not only to pray for the salvation of the lost, but to labor for it. If the church had been awake to its duty, the Army would never have been organized. The organization, too, of so many bands and brotherhoods and societies is a criticism upon the church. It is a confession from men that church-mem? bership does not sufficiently bind them together. The church brothers arc not brotherly enough, and hence the hun? gry world-hungry for companionship -is organizing all sorts of bands. Nor has the benevolence of the Church made any progress. In 1880, says Dr. Strong, one-fifth of the wealth of the United States, or $8,728,400,000 was io the haods of church member Of this great wealth, ooe sixteen! part of one per cent:, or one dollar ty of e?iry fifteen hundred and eighty-? was given for' the Bal vat i oa of eigl hundred million heathen. They pa out six times as much for sugar ac molasses as for the world's salvation seven times as much for boots ac shoes, aod eighteen times as much f< bread. But let us now toro to some of ti remedies suggested by Dr. Strong an others. III. THE NEW METHODS NEEDED. 1. The cb arch must learn th meaning of these two words-iod vidualixed responsibility. That ii that eaeb mao ts a part of the chord aod the church will fulfil its missio just io proportion as each membc makes himself felt. The role DOW is for the church t hire a minister, and this beiog done nothing remains for others to do. H most do the work of saving men, an io this work the eboroh members bav no part. The churchman pays bi part in money, and flatters himself tba bis check absolves bim from every thin else. The good Samaritan, when b found tbe wouoded man by tb wayside, gave himself first, his persona service, and then his money Tb modern christian would have said "Here is ten cents; you can buy som bread with it ; but I have a busines engagement down town and csnno stop." It is a ruinous idea that, after on bas paid his mite, his doty to tb* church is done Dr. Strong says i business mas told bim that be ha< been regularly to ehorcb for seveoteei years, aod no member of that chord bad ever spoken to him aboot bis soul "I belong to the financial depart men of my church, bot not to the religious,' is what nioe-tenths of oar church peo pie sboold say. There is a story tba Pope Innocent IV was once engaged ii eoaottng a large amount of coin, wbei Thomas Aquinas was ushered io. Th? Pope remarked, "You see tbe chard caa DO looger say with St. Peter 'silver aod gold have I none.' " Aqoi oas replied, "neither cao sher say a nj looger with bim, 'io the oame of Jesu Christ of Nazareth, rise op sod walk.' ' Now,. alas ! it ts all too troe, ant this results from our makiog our gifn a Substitute for our personal service, ai if the preacher were the only ooe wht bad anything to do with ?rs religion. 2. Tbe masses are to be reached bj reaching individuals. Tbe day wil never come when men can be berdec and driven into the church. The} must be reached one by ooe. Ead one has his peculiar difficulties, ace must be dealt with individually. Some say, "We must have a fine preacher, a man of great gifts, and he will draw the masses to us;'' but whee they are drawn, what then % what have you got for them ? what do you for those who do come? It will not do to roll the borden upon the preacher, I'll cite a case, for I most defend myself. There is a floating Baptist brother in this town, who often attends another church. He flatters the Baptist pastor by sayiog be likes to bear bim preach ; but be finds the people in the other church more genitl and friendly, and hence he goes there. No, sirs, yon might pat Paul in this pulpit, and he would find himself haodioapped, unless the people are going to help to draw, and not drive away the masses. 3. Th er. most be an actual acquaint? ance of tb 3 church people with the world people Nobody loves to go al? ways among strangers Tbe church cries out loudly for pastoral work, and the world says, "Yes, we'd like to know you as well as know your pastor." I believe house-to-house visitation by the church is the great need of the day. The church must know the people in their family life, and personal relations must be set up between those within and those without. Our church peo? ple are too selfish, and seek too much their own ease. If one of our number dies, not more than a handful will at? tend the funeral. Recently a little baby lay dead within three hundred yards of eight Baptist homes. The parents were Baptists, and there were not enough present to compose the child in its shroud or bear tbe coffin from the house. Often we are called upon to sit up with and nurse the sick,and I can lay my hand upon the few who oan be relied upon for the service. One little boy with an aching tooth or a "stumped" toe will be excuse enough to keep a whole family at home. Yet, the church wonders why it has no hold upon the world. I have shown you where tbe trouble lies. You must go out into tbe great world, not merely on social missions, but ip the name of God, and as the representative of His church and people ; and this will solve the problem. I have been fishing with nets in the sea. I found that one man in a boat could carry out the net, but it required a good many to pull it in. 4. Another fact in tho same line is this-there is no union between the chureh and the world, except in the way of business Christians live like snails in their shells. The ohuroh often touches the world, but touches at the wrong points. We should mingle with the world in business, and we should mingle with all men, if our purpose is to benefit them ; but wheu our contact does them no good, and does us harm, then it should bc broken. For instance it is a good thing to have a military company for the sake of good order in our com? munity, and it is proper and fitting for our church people to belong to such organizations ; but when a military company becomes known more for its 1 bails aod "hops'* than for its valor and good order I tay the men of the enarcb eboald withdraw, op?n the ground that such contact does them h?rni aod ts not beneficial to others Brethren, the great topic nofoids itself endlessly : bat I mast stop. The whole argument may be stated in a sentence-The present church methods are a failure, and they are a failure because all tbe religious work is left to br dene by the preacher alone. Tbe average member boys immunity from labor with a check on the bank, and has no influence io drawing or saving tbe masses. The whole church, or a large proportion of it, must arise like good queen Esther, and go io unto the King, in behalf of the people ; otherwise the preacher's work will avail but little, and the failures of the past will be re peated in the future.
