yvPJJj EVENING LED flER- PHILADELPHIA, TTJESDAY, JANUARY 19, 1915. ir m m 4 B1JLLY" SUNDAY'S SUBJECTS "PERSONAL WORK" "TbeYe nre millions of people In thin nllfMfeneil Christian land that ate In open; rebellion Against God or Anything that , savors of God. They any we will not jtaV this man reign over us. That in the, heartless cry that rings from otnee, tucliry, shop, store and home, In unl Tsrstty' and college, .and everywhere. TherfcJ arc multitudes of people who select front the Bible what they personally like; they'1 think they can codify God, ana eliminate what they don't like. If they Will. rend something In the Illblo and don't like It, they will say they don't bellove It, they are Just foots enough not (oj realize their responsibility to be tlevo. A fact Is a fact, whether you havfi senso enough to believe It or not. A. man can say, 1 don't believe there Is a hall,- but that doesn't change the fact that there Is a hell simply because ho Is fool "enough to say ho doesn't believe it. A man may say, 'I don't believe Jesus Christ Is the Son of God,' but Ho Is, whether you believe It or not. "Multitudes of people say, 'Well, give tu the Sermon on tho Mount, or glvo us the decalogue minus what we don't like.' They havo no king but self. Multitudes of people will not do things unless they personally dcslro to do them. They don't wait to think whether their doing that, rTiakes It harder for somebody cist to do. right. They do It becauso they personally Want to do It, and they don't give a- rap what God says, and they havo the audacity to call themselves Chris tians. ; You are not Christians if you are going contrary to the will of God. God stiys, 'My will bo done,' and I don't care, f you are going contrary to the will; of God, you are not a Christian It you 'aro sprinkled and immersed every 10 ralrlutCB, arid I don't care if you go to confession every half hour, If you know the .On 'articles of confession' bo thnt you can1 say them frontward and backward, and If you are confirmed every 10 min utes. I am not saying anything against the ordinances, 'Tho T.ord Is now re jected, by tho world disowned, by tho many stilt neglected, by tho few cn thronejl, "Th8tmAttcr.ls that you leavo all of that to theJlLord. That Is a lazy way to look at 1L4 repeat that I think all that is due to a 14ck of definite effort Joeing put forth by thoJ Jnlnlster and thV church to per suade ft "definite person to accept a, definite Savi,oujr, at a definite time, now. God's promises are In the present tense for sal Vatlhfi., Now" la, the ncceptcd time; now Is the idaj" of rsal v'atlon. If today you hear His -yoce, harden not your hearts to tho one prpmlsjlt.ofv'Cqd, 'That'lH the present tensw TWKIilchvrpredeplnB is in tho futujfp'tejjv-j- ;r "'"' EWqtirfriIE-,Gfc,-ERAI,.

The Govomm'ent (does not pay them to sit around and look nice In their uniforms. That Is tho .curse of the churches of to day. The preacher sits down nnd folds his arms and thinks there Is nothing for him to do. If we had an army like that It would meet with defeat before it could cock tho first gun. "Now listen! This clement of falluro Is not confined simply to religion. Ninety nine per cent, of the business men of this country fall; only three out of a thousand succeed; .73 per cent, of the lawyers aban don tlielr profession, without success; CO per cinEe of the doctors fall to make good; o this clement of failure Is not confined to rellglod. ..It Is In business, In "profes sional lite as well. These three classes, the business men, lawyers and doctors, and i think It Is duo to lack of definite systematic work and no application. 'JJq political campaign Is won by any tump speaker or any spellbinder on the platform. It iaswon by man to man con versation. "In, tho presidential campaign of 1SS8. when. Benjamin Harrison was elected President oveiy.Grover Cleveland every body knows "that Now York State is Re publican and ffew York city la Domo-cratlcj-and they thought that a Republi can majority wduld como down from Har lem and overcome the majority of New York .city. They knew there was fraudu lent registration in New York; they knew that' there jyas ballot-box stuffing what did Ujey do? y, BUSINESS IN POLITICS. "They wont to work and got an expert business,. -man a.nd gayc him charge of No wiYork- city, and he went to work and divided that city' Into littlo districts and the districts Into wards and they sub divided the wards; then they subdivided very subdivision until they had a man at every block In every subdivision. Tho leader said, (b these men: 'You are not responsible who is elected President; you ara nor, responsible who Is Mayor of the city, "Nut' you are responsible to know the name of every man who Is In your block and how he -votes. You nro to keep tabs on every man.' And they especially watched the fraudulent sections, and when the vote was taken tho Republican major ity rollod Into Harlem and swamped the Democrats and, Benjamin Harrison went to the "White Huuse Instead of drover Cleveland, This man, whom they ap pointed leader,, 'was a shrewd business man, be was' expert In organization, and he had a ayaterjiatio way of doing things. "I know a 'varnish company that pays a representative. 110,000 a year Just to be a good fellow. Ha hobnobs with the heads of the railroads,- he never offers to sell them anything? .lie doesn't sell a quart of varnish, but ho paves tho way for the representatives who come on tho Job. He' la being paid to get acquainted with the heads of the .departments and to disarm their prtJiidTco; and It they want varnish he has the way paved for the representa tive to sell the varnish. This man gets 10,000 to smile and look pleasant. A lot of people wouldn't smile to save a sinner from. bell. Soma of you have faces that would stop a clock. Shine up. 'What's the matter with you? Be happy, "That's what -Jesus meant when He i t The night was coij and DB32W UP TO said, "The children of this generation are wiser than tho children of light.' Per sonal work Is thn simplest and most ef fective form of work we can engage In. Andrew wins Peter and Peter wins 30 at Pentecost. A man went Into n boot and shoo store nnd talked to tho clerk hliout Jesus Cbrlat. He won that young man to Christ. Do you know who that young man was? It was Dwlghl I. Moody, and he went out and won mul titudes to Christ. The name of tho man who won him was Klinbnll, nnd Kimball will get as much reward as Moody. Klin Iball worked to win Moody and Moody Tvorked and won the- multitude, "There's Sam Hadley and the Karl of flhaftsbury. When the Karl of Bhafls (bury died his funernl was one of tho greatest ever seen In London, except when a king, dies. "Andrew wins Peter nnd Peter wins 3000 nt Pentecost. That Is the way God works today. Charles G. Finney, after learning tho nnmo of any man or woman, would Invariably ayk, the question, 'Aro you a Ohrlstlnn?' You enn gain one soul to Christ nnd double your church mem bership when tho meetings are over. There Isn't any one here who hasn't drag enough to win some-body to Christ. an ear went to help n preacher and the preacher said to him: 'There Is one man In town that I wish you could soe while you nre here. He Is a hlncltstnlth nnd hf Is a lender.' When they were passing tho (blacksmith shop Vnssnr said, 'Here, take my grip.' and In 10 minutes he hnd the blacksmith on his knees crying for God. "Ho went to the hotel where they were going to be, and ho stepped Into the re ception room, or pnrlor, and there sat a lady, nnd he went up to her nnd said, Aro you a Christian?' nnd nt first alia was inclined "to be Insulted nnd said, 'What do you mean?' Tint ho talked to her so kindly of Christ that presently she was In tears, nnd he left her In prayer, and soon after her husband came In nnd he saw thnt she hnd been crying nnd he said, 'What Is the mutter? Has some ono Insulted you?' And she said, 'No, but the queerest littlo old man was In here nnd ho asked mo If I were a Christian.' And Iho sold, '1 wish I hnd been here; I would havo told him to mind his own businoss.' And she sold, Husband, ho was minding his own buMnoss; ho was getting somo ono for God.' Thnt man and woman be came Christians and became workers In the causo of God. GET OUT OF RUT. " 'Are you loncaome?" someone asked a llghtkeoper off the const of Massa chusetts. 'Are you lonesome?' And he said: 'I was lonesome until a ship was wrecked on this cdast, nnd I rescued 12 men and women and since that time I have never been lonesome because now I am constantly on tho alert to see If some one else needs help.' Ate you lonesome? Some people sit In the church pews until they ore mildewed and never ask any one to come to the God of Gods. Got out of that rut. Some people think It is beneath their dignity to do personal work for God. I asked one Indy why she didn't do personnl work, and she sajd: 'You know I am a Congregatlonallst, and you know we don't believe In it.' 'Well,' I Bald, "God does.' I would rather be a Christian than a Congregatlonullst. 1 would rnther be a Christian than a Presbyterian, a Methodist, a Baptist or an Episcopalian. Lots of people are members of n church who aro not Christians. It ought to mean that when you aro 4 church member you are a Christian, hut it don't mean it with every body. The terms ought to be synonymous, but they aren't. Everybody thnt l a Christian Is a member of a church, but everybody that Is a member of a church Is not a Christian. The fellow that tells me that ho can live n Christian life out side of a church I have no use for; I have no faith in him. He can't. "If it Is bencnth your dignity to do per sonal work, then you aro above your master. If you aro not willing to do what He did, don't call Illni your Lord. The servant is not greater than tho owner of tho house. The chauffeur Is not greater than the owner of the nutomo blles. The servant on the railroad Is not greater than tho owners of the road. Certainly they are not greater than our Lord, Jesus Christ. GET CONVERTED FIRST. "A woman said, -Do you think my blindness will hinder mo In personal work?' No, I think it will bo a help. "Why? Because people will come to you who will offer you their sympnthy and that will give you an opportunity to talk to them nnd invite them to become Christians. She said: 'But, oh, won't my blindness prevent me from standing on the platform and speaking?' That was her Idea of personal work to got In the limelight. Get away from that Idea. A man came to my friend Dr. Chapman nnd said: 'Doctor, I am thinking of entering the evangelistic work. I have thought It over nnd I have decided to go to Colorado or California and begin.' He said, 'My relatives live there; my brothers nnd sisters and all my friends.' The doctor said; 'Are your brothers Christ ians? How many have you?" He said: Two. I don't know whether they are Christians or not: we tried to settle the family estate some years ago and my brothers and I have not spoken since that tlpie. They have never been to my house and J havo never been to theirs.' The doctor said, 'Are your sisters alive?" nnd he said Tee.' 'Are they Christians?' He said; 1 don't know; they took, my brothers' side. I have not been In their home and don't speak to them.' The dootor said, "What did you say you were to do?' He said, 'I said I was joins Into the evangellatlo work.' The doctor said, You ought to make up your mind to be a penitent first; get on your knees." INSULTING GOD. "If you come to me and have anything aralnst your brother, let me tell you go to htm and be reconciled first. If the communion cup Is passed down the aisle and there la some neighbor to whom you don't speak, partaking of communion THE FIBS -LACE A3OTS SERMON TODAY does not do you any good. You are Just going through the form of being a Chris tian; you arc, intuiting God. "I never saw k revlvnl movement yet until qod'a people felt pn their knees and renewed their vows of Christianity. Thero are a lot of people that never pray, that never nsk a blessing, Thero nre lots of people tlutl are negligent In their religious duties who drift from God; they nro hero today; bo the first to walk down the nlslo nnd renew your vows and covenants with God. "If we get run down spiritually, If we become negligent, put yourselves on pub lic record before tho people; get right with God. Personal work is a difficult form of work; more difficult thnn preach ing, singing, attending conventions, giv ing your goods to feed the poor. Tho devil will let you hnve an easy time until God nsks yon to do personal work. It "Is nil right while you sing In the rholr, but Just ns soon ns you get out nnd work for God the devil will be on your back and you will see all the flimsy excuses you can offer for not working for tho Lord! If you want to piny Into the hnnds of tho devil begin to offei your excuses. EMPTY PROFESSION. "Whnt do you do that others do not do? You say, 'I go to church,' so does the saloonkeeper. You say, 'I go to church,' so do the girls from the red light district, You sny, 't give to the collection plate' so does Iho brewer, but what do you do thnt he doesn't do; that Is the question the Lord nsks. Whnt do ye moro thnn others? Is It something moro than nn empty profession of fnlth? Therefore the work of rescuing people for Jesus Christ Is hard nnd I hope It will always bo hard. I have no use for tho man or woman who Is looking foi something easy to do. It Is like a woman I met In Kolltn, Col, She snng in the choir In tho meetings thero nnd sho rami) to ma nnd snld. 'I wish you would talk to my husband about not being a Christian,' and I said: 'Have you talked to him?' She snld: 'No,' I snld: 'No, ma'am, I won't; tho spirit of God Is try ing to get you to go to him nnd you are trying to saddle tho work off on some one else.' She said: "I think you will have moro Influence with him that. I havo.' 'I sold, 'How long havo you been married?' Sho snld: 'Twelve years,' and I snld, 'It is no compliment to you. I come here a stranger and have a big ger drag with your husband than you have,.' 'Then jou won't speak to him?' 1 snld. 'No, but I will pray for him. You can go and do your pait and If you can't get him I will go.' "I nagged nt that woman for a eolld week. She would say, 'It Is so hard.' I said: 'Do you like to sing In tho choir?' Sho snld, 'Yen.' 1 snld, 'Then your Idea Is to do the thing you like to do and the thing you don't like to do you pnss along to Homebody else.' Well, I nagged nt her nnd nlmost hnd to drag her from the platform to get her to do something for Christ. Her husband snt down nbout ns far as that post there, on one end seat and finally sho went down nnd put her arm about him and snld: 'Jim, won't jou glvo your heart to God?' He burnt Into tenra and said: 'Kid, I have been wait ing for you for two weeks to ask me thnt.' "I know" n mother, not personally, a very fine woman. She btought up her children In the knowledge and love of Christ. She was lamenting to a friend of mine that she couldn't do much Christian work nnd my friend found that not a per son had entered her home for years thnt sho hnd not asked them If they were n Christian and talked to them nbout being a Christian. She was one of the best Christian workers In tho community, yet her Idea was to get on the platform. DIs nbuso your mind that that Is the way you must work for God. Listen to this: There are 13,000.000 In this country between the ages of 10 and 30 years. Of 12,000.000, Protestant or Catholic, 5.000,000 of them go to church occasionally, nnd 7,000,000 never darken a church door from ono year's end to nnother. They fill tho sa loons, the haunts of vice and corruption, and yet most young men have been touched by somo Sunday school Influ ences. But you don't win them for God nnd they go Into the world never won for God. SAVE BOYS AND GIRLS. "I want to tell you, If you want to solve tho problem for tho future, get hold of tho young men and women now. Don't let them grow up nnd become stoop shouldered, rummy-eyed, rheumatic old men and then ask them to come to God. Get them for God now. Save your boys nnd girls. Pave the young man and woman and you launch a lifeboat. At the Iroquls fire In Chicago COO people were burned to death. One young woman es caped, about 17 years of age. Her hair was singed from her hend, her clothes were burned, her face blistered. She got on a street car to go to her home In Oak Park, where she lived. She was wringing her hands and crying hysterically. A woman ild to her, 'Why, you ought to bo thankful you escaped with your life." I oscapod, but I didn't save any body. There are hundreds that died. To think that I escaped and didn't save any body.' Yes, we built the tabernacle and thousands come that never darkened the church, and we didn't pry our lips open and take their hand and ask them If they wouldn't come to Jesus Christ. That Is what Is the matter with the church to day. They talk about this and they talk about that. Y. M. O. A. DRIFTING. "They are fighting and talking about the needs of an Institutional church, they are having gymnasiums and socials. But don't forget the fact that salvation Is the prime end of everything. I don't object to the gymnasium and all such things If they make them a means to an end. But remember that salvation of the soul Is the end which we need. That Is what Is the matter with the church today she Is losing sight of that one fact, The Y, M. C. A. Is drifting away from what It used to do for the people, I don't object to the Y. M. C. A. I don't object to gym- A MUSICAL COMEDY SING IT, WHISTLE IT, blus-ter-ng- nnslums. I do object when they make that the prime thing, putting In pool tables nnd such things. The church nnd the Y. M, C. A. nnd the Salvation Army nro getting away from, tho fact that the salvation of tho soul Is the supreme end. I want to see the salvation of thejsoul the supreme end of the world, "Hero In Pennsylvania they had a mine cavc-t think you feel different If It Is your boy or girt they had a mine cave nnd the people were rushing there to help. Up enmo an old miner, 70 or 60 years of nge, tired, tottering nnd ox hnusled, He threw oft his vest, his coat nnd hat nnd picked up a pick and shovel. Some of them stopped him nnd snld: What Is tho irmtter7 You are too old; let some of tho younger ones do that; fctnnd back.' The old fellow said, 'My God, I got two boys down there.' So you see It seems to make all the difference when you've got some boys down there. That Is what you would do, Sit around nnd fold your nrms, "I remember In a town there was a funeral. The casket contained a very beautiful tnnlden. It was being home from tho home. The family didn't llvo far from the graveynrd nnd most of tho mourners walked. Well. Ihe.v nil stood around until the minister said, 'Dust to dust, and ashes to nshes.' Presently a Sunday school tencher burst Into hysteri cal cries. They led her to her carrlngo nnd she was driven to her home. The minister noticed her crying nnd asked her whnt caused It. She replied: 'I taught thnt girl for four years. I noticed that who ws getting cnrelcss nnd going to publlj dnnces with young men whoso chnrncter van not of the best. I didn't sny nnythlng to her, but I was sure that, as a minister, you did.' The minister snld, 'I thought you, being her Sunday school teacher, would attend to that. You aro a woman and could spenk to her hotter thnn I coiild,' Well, they finally snld, 'Let us go see her mother nnd ask her nbout It.' CONFESS rOUR NEGLECT. "They went to the inothor, nnd she re plied that sho knew the girl wns getting carolens, but she thought that her Sun day school teacher or the minister would nttend to that. There wns a girl who was gone, a witness ngnlnst her mother, her Sunday school teacher and the preacher. There must be a confession of sins. Con fess your sins of neglect. Tho sins of neglect, those nro the sins. The curse of the church Is the sin of omission. There must be a confession of the sin of un forglvenoss. Confession Isn't loving a card party moro than a prnycr meeting. Confession Is not loving a good novel moro thnn you do the Ulble. " 'Lcnvo not the wuild; neither (he things of tho world.' God's green grass, flowers and trees? certainly, they were made for your admiration; but the 'things of the world,' never. "Nothing Is toS hard for God to do. I hove a friend, Doctor Broughton. of At lnntn, Ga. When lie wns a young minister he went to help nnother minister In n series of meetings. He said that he never prenched to such a lifeless. Indifferent, Inzy, Indolent, crltlcnl, petrified, stiff, stale, hunch In nil his life. They never smiled, Just sat there nnd listened to him. While he wns there one night he said: Ts thoro any mnn or woman here who would like to see anybody converted? Is thero any mother who would like to see her son saved, a wife a husband, a husband a wife, a friend, a businoss man, a clerk? Anybody who would like to see somebody saved?" Nobody lifted a hand. Ho pleached the next night and repeated the Invitation. Ho said: 'Is there a woman present who would like to see her hus band saved? Is there a husband?' A lit tle boy, II yearn of age, lifted his hand. Is there n husband, a wife' Tho boy raised his hand. 'In there a sister wnnta to see a brother saved?' and tho boy lifted his hand. He reversed the question. The kid lifted his hand. DEACON DROPS IN. "After ho reached his hotel he heard a rap at his door. He opened It, In came one of tho deacons. It was a Bap tist church. Stroking his long pious whiskers, he came In nnd said: 'Howdy, doctor." My friend replied: 'How do you do, deacon; sit down.' 'Powerful good meeting. I thought it wnr my duty to come up here and tell you. Do you know that boy down there?" 'What boy?' 'You mean the one who wns lifting his hnnd7" 'Yes.' 'Well, thnt boy ain't overly bright, and I thought that I would "come and tell you that he Is making a fool of you and of tho members of the church.' My friend replied: 'He Is not making n fool of me, but of you and the other mem bers of your church. He has more spir itual life than the whole crowd of you put together." 'Well, I thought I would ell you you can do what you please. You better tell him to stay away.' My friend said: 'I'll pay him 110 a day to come. He Is the only evidence of life I Bee here. If you think I am going to turn the hose on that, you don't know me.' "My friend preached the next night and nobody moved hut thnt boy. That night the pastor spoke to dim, 'By the way, I havo got to go away In the morning. I was going to preach on Sunday morning, but I want you to preach for me. I wish you would throw the doors of tho church open nnd ask If there Is anybody that wants to Join.' 'Join what?' 'Why, the churdh.'. My friend said, 'You don't need nn evangelist hero; what you need Is an Undertaker.' "The next night, when he got back to the Iiotel (knock), 'Come In.' And then comes this old deacon, 'Howdy, doctor,' 'How-do, deacon; sit down.' He says, You're going to preach Sunday.' 'Yes.' 'Well, If I were you I wouldn"t throw the doors of the church open for any Jlners, Vauso there ain't any.' My friend said: Deacon, look me straight In the eye. Did you ask me not to throw the doors open because ryou knew there weren't any sin ners, or because there waa only one, and you did not want that one to Join the church because you -wanted to keep that one out? You knew thero would be some one, and you did not want the some one when JAcame home trS S SAID " GEE ! ? f i? to be In. I am going to throw tha doors open.' LED BY LITTLE CH1MV "Sunday morning my friend said, 'if there Is anybody here that wants to give their heart to Jesus Christ, como down and we will take them by the hand.' That boy got up and came down the aisle. Doc tor Broughton nsked' him questions, and he s.rld he never heatd clearer answers to biblical questions In all his life. Then he said to the congregation: 'Voil nil heard the questions I have nsked him, and you nil heard the answers he gave mn. Now. nccordlng to the rule of the church, nil who are In favor of receiving htm Into the church, say " 'aye." ' Two farmers, who knew nothing about the boy, said 'nyo.' Doctor Broughton said 'the ayes hnve It.' The boy went home. The boy's mother was dead nnd he lived with his grandfather ntid grandmother. His grandfather was an old mnn nearly SO years of e, nn Infidel, who had not dnrkened the church for 60 years. He went up to his grandpa nnd said: 'Grand pa, llicv look me Into the church nnd baptized me. And now 1 nm a member of tho church. If you como up they will tnko you.' He said, 'I know they would, but don't bother me now." The hoy kept after him, and the next Sunday when my friend, Doctor Broughton, nsked If there wns anybody wnntcd to Join tho church, down the aisle came thnt Idiotic hoy lead ing his old grnndfnthcr, SO years of nge. The old mnn wanted to say a few words. He snld: 'You all know me. I nm nn old mnn, nnd this Is the first lime I have been In church for (SO ycnrB. My little grand son Is not overly bright; his mother Is dead. He came home n week ago and snld that tlicy hnd taken him Into tho church nnd thnt they would tnke me In also.' Tho littlo Idiotic grandson led tho old man home. "Monday morning the boy went down town. Ills fnlher was a saloonKeeper, nnd he snld: 'Pn, grandpa nnd mo have joined the church; we hnve been bap tized. If you come up they will tnke you In.' He said: 'Go on away. This Is no place for you.' And you bet your life, If it Is no plnco for a boy, It Is no place for a mnn. "Von don't sny a boy can't go to n grocery store, or a Jewelry store, or a G-and-10-cent store, but he can't go Into a snloon, nnd that fact proves thnt the snloon Is a dirty, rotten hell hole. "Tho hoy went back, but kept after his fnther until he, like the grnndfnthcr, enme up nnd ncccpted Jesus Christ. On thnt day the father snld to the people: 'Come down tomorrow and I will burn nil the liquor that Is in my store. I will break nit the barrels nnd let It run out. I feci myself commissioned by God to be the apostle of tho saloonkeepers In this country.' Well, he went to work and gave his testimony and created sen timent until the saloons were put out of business from lack of patronage, nnd from thnt day to this there hasn't been a snloon In that county. Long before they had prohibition there wnsn't a saloon In thnt county, and It stnrted with that Idiotic boy, and you have got as much sense as he had." (Copyrighted.) OBITUARIES COL. JOHN A.
