The last great batile for God i= not to ba fought on the campus of a college or the lawn of a chureh, It is to bas fonght at Missionary Ridge, Before tals century quits us let us establish the habit of giving the forenoon of the Sab. bath to the churches and the afternoon and the svening of the Sabbath to gospel work in the halls and theaters and streets and fields and siume, and wildernesses of sin and sorrow. Why do Christians who have stuffed themselves with “the strong meat of the word” and ail gospel viands on Sabbath foreuoons want to come 1p 10 A second ser- vice and stoff themsaives again? These oid gormandizers at the gospel feast need to get into outdoor work with the sutdoor gospsi that was preached on the banks of the Jor. dan, and on the fshing smasks of Lake Gali- lee, and in the bleak air of Assyrian moun faivs. I am told that throughout ail our Am sriean cities the second Sabbath servies in the majority of churches js arsely, yea, disgracefully attended, and is the distress of the cunsecrated and elogusnt pastors who bring their learning and piety before pews ghastiy for their inoccupancy, What is the providential meaning? The greatest of ail evangelists since Dible times recently sug- gested that the evening serviess in all the churches bs tursed into the most popuiar style of evangelistic meetings for outsiders, Surely that is an experiment worth making. If that does not succeed, then it does seem to me all the churches which cannot ssoure sufficient evening audiences ought to shut up their buildings at night and go where the people are and juvite them to come to the gospel banquet, Let the Christian souls bountitully fed in the morsing, go forth iu the o ternoon and starving for the bread of which if a man eat he shall never again hunger. Among those clear down the gospel would make more rapid conquest than among those who know #0 mush and have so much that God ean not teach or help them, In those lower dgpths are splendid fellows in the rough, it the shoeblack a reporter saw near New York City Hall. He asked a boy to black his boots, Ths boy eames up to his work n inrge boy shoved him aside and began the work, and the reporter reproved him as be. ing a bully, and the boy replied: “Oh, that's all right, I am going iodo it for ‘im. see he's been sick in the hospital more'n a month, 80 us boys turn in and give ‘ima HI." “Do all the boys help him?’ used the reporter. *‘Yua, sir When they ain't got no job themselves ani Jim gots ons they turn in and help "im, for he ain't strong vet, you see.” “How much percentaze does he wive you?" said the reporter. The boy re- plisd: “I don’t keep none of it. 1 ain't no sch sneak as that, All the boys give up what they git on his job, I'd like to catoh any feller sneaking oun a sick boy, I would The reporter gave him a twenty-five cent plece and sald, “You kesp ten cents for yourself and give the rest to Jim." “Can't do it, slr. It's his customer. Here, Jim." Buch big souls as that strew all the lower depths of the cities, and, get them converted to God, this would be the last fall century of the world's sin and but littls work of evangelization would be left for the next orptury.
