"Listen! Hero Is an extract from tho
Saturday Evening Post of November 8,
1907, taken from a paper read by n
brower. You will say that n man didn't
say It: 'It nppears from theso facts that
tho success of our business lies in tho
creation, of appetlto among tho boys.
Hen who havo formed tho habit scarcely
over reform, but they, llko others, will
dio, and unless thero nro recruits made to
tako their places our coffers will bo
empty, and I recommend to you that
money spent In the creation of nppetlto
will return in dollars to your tills after
tho habit is formed."
"Tho saloon exists because tho church
doesn't voto It out of existence.
"Say, aro you in favor of n constitu
tional amendment prohibiting tho salo of
liquor In tho United States?
"If you over get a chanco to do It, boys,
will you do it? If you do, stand up with
me.
"What Is your raw material, saloons?
American boys. Say, I would not give
one boy for all tho distilleries nnd sa
loons this sldo of hell. And they havo
to havo 2,000,000 boys every generation.
And then you tell mo you are a man
when you will voto for an institution
llko that. What do you want to do, pay
taxes in money or in boys?
BOYS NOT SO CHEAP.
"And I would not glvo those 13 boys
for every dirty dollar you got from tho
hell-soaked liquor business or from every
brewery and distillery this sldo of hell.
"Listen 1 In a Northwest City a preach
er Bat at his breakfast tablo ono Sunday
morning. Tho doorbell rang, ho answered
It, and thero stood a little boy, 12 years
of age. Ho was on crutches, right leg
off at the knee, shivering, and he Bald,'
Please, sir, will you como up to the Jail
nnd talk nnd pray with papa? He mur
dered mamma. Papa was good and kind,
but whisky did it, and I have to support
my three little sisters. I sell newspapers
and black bootB, "Will you go up and
talk nnd pray with papa? And will you
como homo and be with us when they
bring him back? Tho Governor says we
can have his body after they hang him.'
"The preacher hurried to the Jail nnd
talked nnd prayed with tho mail. Ho
had no knowledge of what he had done.
He Bald; 'I don't blame the law, but it
breaks my heart to think that my chil
dren must be left In a cold and heart
less world. Oh, sir, whisky did it.'
"Tho preacher was at the llttlo hut
when up drove the undertaker's wagon
nnd they carried out the pine coflln.
They led tho llttlo boy up to the coflln,
ha leaned over nnd kissed his father and
cobbed, and said -to his sisters; 'Come
on, sisters, kiss papa's cheeks before
they grow cold.' And the little, hungry,
ragged, whisky orphans hurried to tho
coflln shrieking In agony. Police, whose
hearts were ndamant, burled their faces
In their hands nnd rushed from the

Sunday Morning
SUBJECT: "A MIGHTY MAN"
"Jeremiah v, D: 'Why shouldst thou
bo ns a mighty man that cannot save?'
"Thero nro somo people who aro so
familial' with their Ulblo that when you
announce a verso they will tell jou tho
placo whero It can bo found and not In
frequently tho chapter and the verse.
If thoru nro any such hero you would
havo said, "That sounds llko Jeremiah.'
"Mntthow seems to hnve written moro
especially to tho Jews. Ho Bcemcd to
endeavor to convlnco them that Christ
was tho Jlcsslah nnd ho quoted moro fre
quently from tho Old Testament than did
cither Mark, Luko or John.
"Mark seems to havo been Impressed
with tho tireless energy of Jesus. Tho
llttlo word 'go' occurs 43 times In tho
Now Testament nnd 22 of theso nro In
Mark. Tho word 'straightway' occurs 21
times In AInrk und 'Immediately' 17 times.
Hpurgeon ono tlmo said that ho did not
understand how any one could read tho
gospel of Mark and not go out and preach
It for God.
"Luko was tho physician and wan
atrong In observation and description Ho
seemed to havo been Impressed with tho
power of Christ to eliminate disease. Ho
was ono of theso kind that would say In
two or three sentences what somo peoplo
would rcqulro a wholo foolscap to say.
John seemed to havo been impressed with
tho divinity of Christ. I do not bcllovo
tho man lives that could go out nnd de
nounce Chi 1st ns tho Son of God If ho
would read tho gospel of John. Jeremiah
mado it plain that God was in their
midst.
MUST DO GOD'S BIDDING.
"Tho curses pronounced upon the Jews
will fall on tho Gcntllo If you don't do
God's bidding. Tho curso will fall on
this city for God Is no respecter, of
persons.
"I bellevo that somo Individuals nnd
somo churches aro too stingy. AVo nro
robbing God. Now, this is tho same
Christ, tho same holy Bplrlt, tho same
devil nnd tho snmo old world.
"It Is an Inspiration to mo to know
what God has dono and what God Is
willing to do.
"There nro several books I llko to road
I like to read tho Blblo and tho auto
biography of Charles J. Finney, ono of
tho grandest men since the days of tho
npostlcs. A religious community in New
York today is duo to tho blessing of God
under the preaching of Charles J. Finney.
At ono tlmo Finney was to preach In a.
schoolhouso In Now Yoik at 10 o'clock.
Ten-thirty rolled by and 11 and still ho
did not come. Tho peoplo becamo anxious
and said, 'Where Is Mr. Finney?'
"A commltteo went out to search for
him nnd they found him lying faco 'down
ward oh tho ground, tears rolling down
his cheeks, crying: 'Oh, God, don't send
me to that schoolhouso to preach until I
know they want to ncccpt of the Saviour;
not to simply gratify their curiosity to
look at a man they heard about' It was
nearly 1 o'clock bofore ho went and so
marvelous was tho power of God that
men grabbed tho back of tho benches in
front of them, strong men wept llko
children. What God has dono Ho can do
again.
"They talk about tho excitement of a
revival meeting being bad In any com
munity. If you say that, then you aro
a dirty, rotten, stinking liar. Did you
get It? They never did anything for
Christ In their lives. Peanut-headed
fools, that's what they are.
"Finney at ono tlmo went Into a. cot
ton mill In Utica, Now York. There
were two young glrl3 standing there
Just ns he stepped in. One of them
looked, Trut Finney never said a word,
Just stood and looked at her. Sho gazed
at him for a while nnd then commenced
to cry. Soon her companion started to
cry because of the conviction of their
sins. Presently tho owner of the mill,
who was not a Christian, camo in nnd
so impressed wns he that he gavo or
ders to havo tho mill stopped and havo
Finney preach, because he said It was
better to havo these men and women
saved from hell than to run this mill.
So marvelous was tho power of God
that every one of those employes wero
saved, owner and all, nnd from that day
to this that mill at Utica, Now York,
has never been out of the Christian
family.
"What God has done He can do again.

If thero In prayer nnd sin acknowledged
a mighty blessing will follow,
EVIDENCE GOD HEARS.
"What ovldenco does God hear? First
HIb word, 'Where two or three have
gathered together in My name.' Thero
should bo a union of tho churches to
preach. Hli religion, to preach His Gos
pel. You show mo a church that don't
want to go In and I will show you a
church that hasn't enough religion to
stand It nround tho corner. Capital
unites to fight labor. Why can'l God's
people united to right the devil that
curses God. Tlio man doesn't llvo on
God's nrcrii earth that can slap tho
causo of Ood In tho face nnd not get
n solar plexus blow right back from me.
"At tho dedication of tho Hunker Hilt
monumonl Daniel Webster was sitting
upon a platform, against which tho mob
nurged and crowded nround, despite tho
efforts of thoso In chnrga to keep thorn
back. Tlio crowd became worse, heed
less of tho weak, npologetlo cry of tho
chairman Hint they wero endangering
their lives. .Suddenly Daniel Wobster
nrose, drew himself Up nnd with thd
mighty volco that mado tho Sonata listen,
said: "lien, I command you stand back.
Nothing is Imposslblo at Hunker Hill.
Stand bnckl" Ono man became 10 In
power and cnrrlcd tho Burglne mass back.
"With God and tho Holy Spirit hero
and n union of churchci, 1 tell you thero
Is no power on earth or In hell that can
stand up ngntust tho Church of Ood Al
mighty. It Is an Inspiration to mo to
know what God has done. If thero Is
anything on tho faco or God's green
enrth that needs enthusiasm it la your
churches.
"Nothing Is Imposslblo for Ood. Let's
go and tako this old city for Christ. If
ou can't do that, let's rip tho signs
from our churches. There nro too many
unclean peoplo today trying to represent
a clean gospel.
"Wo must got right with God. That Is
tho first thing we must do. If you
would spill a drop of ncld on a brass
fender and Btoop down instantly and
rub It off It will not lcavo a mark, but
If you would leavo that drop on nil night
it would remain there, 'riioi trouble with
you Is that when you sin and do wrong
you don'.t confess lt.i It remains there
and cats Into your manhood and woman
hood. GET RIGHT WITH GOD.
"Got right with GotL Then keep right
with God. Confess Christ as your Saviour.
Confess your sins to Him and you will
bo saved.
"I road of thrco confessions In tho
Bible. First, confess Christ as your
Saviour. Second, confess your Bins.
Third, confess your faults. If wo would
start out to wrlto tho faults of others,
no book would bo big enough to con
tain them. Wrlto your own faults first.
"I was in Bloomlngton, 111., with Doc
tor Chapman, who hail Deen preaching
there for about two wccks, but thero
had not been a slnglo conversion, no
body would como forward and overybody
would sit spellbound by his words. He
became discouraged nnd said to tho min
isters. "Look hero, brethren, it Is evi
dent to mo that tho church Is not com
ing out to help In this light, nnd I Bervo
you notice I am going to leavo hero after
the services Friday night. I havo preach
ed against sin as hard as I know how.'
Tho ministers said: 'Doctor, wo aro
Just as much concerned about this work
ns you can possibly be. Wo havo been
inquiring what tho troublo Is. Wo havo
never heard so many peoplo talking re
ligion, but wo don't know whnt is tho
trouble.' Ho aald: 'TrounloT Tho only
troublo Is that tho church is not right
with God.' They naked him to stay and
they would try and locate somo of tho
dlfflcutlles. ns they thought they know
where tho trouble wns. Ho said ho
would stav until Sunday night, saying
that if they know whero tho trouble was
and If they wero sure they could remove
It, ho would stay.
"Tho next morning a Presbyterian nnd
Baptist nnd Congregational preacher
started out nnd they went down into tlio
ofllco of Judgo Jt., who was chief usher
In tho mooting. They said to him: 'Thero
Is somothlng wrong; wo havo never felt
such interest and seen such audiences,
but Doctor Chapman Is going to leave
Sunday night if tho difficulties aro not
removed. "Wo havo heard certain things

PUBLIC CONFESSION.
"Ho locked his offlco and went down to
tho, men that know of his doublo deal
ings, and naked thctr pardon, nnd that
afternoon when tho doctor was finishing
his sermon he stepped tip to the platform
nnd said: 'Excuso me, doctor, but wilt
you let mo speak n. few words?" no
mounted tho platform and said: "5'oti all
know mo, and ou all know whnt I have
done. I havo been hero for over 11 years
nnd j on all know how I lived. I havo
gono to ns many ns I could sco personally
and asked their forgiveness, which I
have secured, nnd I havo ncceptcd this
opportunity to como to this meeting to

(ho servlco was over thoy docked up to
him by tho hundrcdi, took hUn by tho
hand nnd expressed their appreciation
nnd conudciico In him. That night when
my friend llnlshcd preaching D2 peoplo
took their stnnd for Jesus Christ. For

In tho man that carries hatred In his
heart.
"Get right In your homes. I can tell

"Thero was an old missionary who had
been nbsent from tho United Statei for
30 years doing foreign missionary work,
Inn'ded ono dav 111 Snn Francisco nnd
tho San Francisco Examiner asked him
to visit tho homes of tho poor, tho rich
and of all classes and to return and write
nn article about tho things that Im
pressed him most that ho saw In thtlr
homes. They thought ho would tell about
tho Improvements, but when ho returned
ho wroto: 'When I went to foreign
lands 30 years ago It was n very raro
thing to go to tho homo of any progesslng
Christians who did not havo prayer In
their homes, but I Journeyed for four
weeks up nnd down tho const Into tho

thing to find family prayer In the families

people get rellslon. What I want and
preach la the fact that a man can be
converted without any fuss.
"Aa I understand the Dible e-very case
of miraculous healing resulted In a con
version. Tho man didn't dance, he didn't
shout, he was not excited, ho wan not be
side himself. Ho quietly did what the
Iord told him. He took up his bed arid
walked. He didn't run nor Jump. The
next tlmo we seo him ho is In the temple
worshiping Ood.
"I challenge any one who dares ea
that peoplo do not get converted Rt theso
meetings. If ou do not botlovo that man
was saved come down here and measura
yourself up with him, Put your old car
cass nlongsldo of his and seo how you
nlaml.
"How many slaps In the faco havo
you taken for being truo to .tesus? How
many snoers havo you withstood for
being truo to Jesus? It cost him some
thing to bo known as tho dlsclplo of
Christ.
"The dovll Is always a passenger with
you In your nuto If ho furnished It.
Thero Is blood on our bunds If you rent
your property for a saloon or for a house
of Infamy, If you are robbing Ood, If you
nro making your clerks work long hours,
It jolt pay -thum poor vases. If you sold
that mining stock and know that It was
n mvlndtc.
Note this, jou who don't bellevo In
quick conversions. When you nnd any
thing lit Matthew's goipel thnt you llko
paillcuUirly, remember It was written by
a man who said, 'Yes,' Instantly. Ho
didn't get down nnd kneel on tho straw.
"Seemingly tho men who havo moved
the world for Christ havo been converted
In a quiet manner. Tho way to Judgo u
treo Is by Its fruit. Judge a trco of qulcf
conversion In this way.
"Another lesson. When conversion conv
pels peoplo to forsake their previous call'
lng Ood gives them n bettor Job. Luko
said, 'Ho loft all.' Little did ho dream
that his Influence would bo world-reaching
and eternity covering. His position as
tax collector seemed llko a big Job, but
It was not picking up pins compared to

HAIL
tho Job Ood gave hint Bom of you may
bo holding back for fear bf btln ut bi
of your Job. If you do tight tjod will na
that you do not suffer.
"His will wasn't foreed. doo never
forces any wan; neither do i. All neaven
Is trylnff to lift yolt to your feet 6ofci l
you men ought to pray right this mlnuw
that your legs may be strong enough to
bring j-ou down here tonight What la
keeping you back? Tou can't net too
quickly about your soul's salvaUon. The
manly thing, the worrtanly thing, the an
thing Is to do what Jod tells you to do
to arlso nnd follow Him.
When Matthew decided td follow Jesus
thero wero no signs or wonders being
shown; thero wan no Undue pressure or
undue excitement; thero was no clamor
of tho multitude to crown Jesu. The
man who walls for the lightning" 16 come
down out of a clear sky may bo headed
for tho pit Ho couldn't do anything that
would please tho davit more.
Men nro sometimes kept from deciding
for fenr of acting too quickly. They aays
"I'll have to think It over."
If a building wns afire; If your child
had taken poison; If you wero bleeding td
death; If you wero drowning, you
wouldn't havo to atop and think It over
You'd accept help right away.
Now, como back to my text. Ho arose
and followed Him. That's what he did
Tho question to bo settled Is "What will
you do?" Who will come nnd take my
hand? Como on men; come on women.
