Saviour and Joined the church that Is all
there Is to tho Christian life. As well
might a student who has Just matricu
lated Imagine that he has finished his
education. Nobody has reached a stage
In the Christian llfo from which ho can
not go further unless he Is In the coilln
nnd then It's all over. To accept Christ,
to Join the church. Is only to begin. It
Is the starting of the race, not the reach
ing ot the goal. There are constant and
Increasing blessings If you aro willing to
pay the price.
"My text does not teach tho necessity of
accepting Christ and being a church mem
ber. It Is addressed to those who already
have taken these steps. I don't care
when or where you become a chuch
member. If the Comforter, who Is the
Holy Ghost, is not with you, you are a
failure.
"Thlc power of the Spirit Is meant for
all who are Christians. It Is a great
blessing for tho Presbyterian elder as-well
as for the preacher. I know some Meth
odist Bteward who need It. Deacons
would Meak' better t they had. It w ft
great blessing for the deacon and tno
members ot the prudential committee, and
It Is Just an great a blessing for the man
In the pew who holds no onlce. To hear
some people talk you would think that
tne Holy Spirit Is only for ptcachcrs. God
sets no doublo standard for the Chrhitlan
life. There's nothing in tho B bio to
show that Iho ueoplo may live different
from tho man In tho pulpit.
A THEOLOGIAN'S MISTAKE.
"I onco heard a doctor of divinity pray
for tho Holy Spirit, and he snld, 'Send It
upon us now.' Ho was wrong, doubly
wrong. Tho Holy Spirit Is not an Imper
sonal thing. He Is ft person, not nn 'It.'
And tho Holy Spirit has nlways been hero
slnco tho days of Pentecost, It does not
come and go. Ho Is right hero In the
world nnd His power Is at tho command
of nil who will put themselves into posi
tion to uso It. , .
"A great many people think tho Holy
Spirit comes nnd goes again, and juoto
from tho Acts, whero It says that Peter
was filled with tho Holy Spirit. Well, If
you will find that I'ctcr had been doing
things right nlong that showed ho had
been Illlcd with tho Holy Spirit all the
time. Acts, second chapter nnd fourth
verse, wo read, 'And they wero nil filled
with the Holy Spirit' You have no right
nor have I to say that tho Holy Spirit
over left any one. Wo hnvo no right to
seek to find Scripture to bolster up Bomo
little theory of our own. Wo must take
the Word of God for It, Just ns wo ilnd
It written thero. Now, at Pentecost, Pe
ter hnd Bald, 'Itcpent and bo baptized for
the remission ot your sins.' Then he
promised them that tho Holy Spirit would
eomo and fill them. Now wo hnvo tho
fulfilment of tho promise.
"Who wero filled with tho Holy Spirit?
Peter and James and John? No tho peo
ple. That la tho record of tho lllllng with
tho Holy Spirit of tho 3000 who wero con
verted nt Pentocost, not tho lllllng of
Peter and James nnd John.
WHY MEN LACK POWER.
"If tho Snlrit remains forever, why
doesn't Ills power nlways Bhotv Itself?
Why haven't you all you who are hero
today as much power with God ns tho
120 had nt Pontecost7 Why Is It that
In this city full of Christian people wo
haven't converted thousands n!rcady7
Thero nre too much trash, too many
frauds In the church. It Is because tho
peoplo aro not true to Ood. They aro
disobeying Him. They are not right with
Him yet.
"I don't know Just how the Holy Spirit
will come, but Jesus said wo should 0,0
even greater works than Ho did. What
aro you doing? You nro not doing such
works now.
"Wo And the Holy Spirit In tho Old
Testament. When tho prophets spoke
they were moved by Him. God seems
to have Bpoken to man in three distinct
dispensations. Once it was through tho
covenant with Abraham, then It was
through Moses and under tho Mosaic dis
pensation, nnd finally It Is through His
own son, Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ camo
Into the world, proved that He Is the son
of God, suffered, died, and burled, rose
ngaln, and sent His holy comforter. This
Is tho last dispensation, the dispensation
under which wo hold theso meetings.
Thero Is no evidence thnt after tho Holy
Spirit once cninc, Ho ever left the world.
Ho Is hero now, ready to help you to over
come your pride, and your Indifference
that has kept you from doing personal
work, and Is willing and ready to lead
you Into a closer relationship with Jesus.
I'll bet there nro a lot of church mem
bet 3 here today who haven't darkened
the doors or tho prayer meetings in years.
"But you Bay: 'Ignorance Is a bar to
Borne.' No, sir. 'Billy' Bray, tho Cor
nish miner, was nn Illiterate man. He
was asked If no could read writing, and
ho answered: 'No, I can't even read
readln'.' Yet 'Billy' Brny did a won
derful work for God In Wales and Eng
land, Ignorance is no bar to religion
or to usefulness to Jesus.
"Let's quit fuddling with religion nnd
do something to bring tho world to Christ.
Wo need a Pentecost day. Tho church
needs a great awakening. Now, I'll not
Btand any ono saying anything against
the church ns an institution, but I will
rebuko its sins and point out its short
comings. Nobody who loves tho church
can bo silent when so much needs to bo
said. I love tho church. I want to ex
plodo that old adago that 'Love Is blind.
I tell you lovo has an eagle's eyes.
BELIEVES IN SOCIALS.
"Lots of churches are wrong In their
financial policy. It Is n. shamo that tho
churches have to resort to tricks that
would shamo tho devil In order to filch
a quarter out of a fellow's pocket to pay
tho preacher's back salary. There la
hardly a church In this country that
couldn't huvo abundant funds If the
people would only glvo of their means
as they aro commanded by God. It's u
shamo that they have to sell deviled ham
sandwiches. It's a shamo thnt a man Is
nsked to buy a. calico necktie for 3
cents and then find a lady with an apron
of tho same goods, and have nervous
prostration when he finds it on his own
wife and has to take her to supper.
"Understand me, now I'm not against
these things. I believe In church socials,
I believe In oyster soup and sandwiches
and calico neckties, but not as a means
to the end of raising funds for the sup
port of the church. They ought to b
met as to a religious end.
"Then, too, otten you will put tho wrong
men In places of authority In tho church.
You elect some old fellow who would look
better In a penitentiary suit Just becauso
ho had a 'drag' somewhere. Wo must
quit putting such men In church ofllces.
"If you have lost spiritual power It Is
becauso you have disobeyed some cleat
command of God. Maybe you're stingy,
God requires tithes. He commands you
to give one-tenth of your Income to Htm,
and maybe you don't do It. It may be
your temper. It may bo that you have
neglected to read the Bible and haven't
prayed as you should.
"You may say, 'I have failed In some
thing, but It Is a little thing.' Oh, these
little things! Bugs aro little things, but
they cost this country 00,000,0ti0 last
year. Birds are little enemies of the
bugs, and birds are little things, and If it
weren't for the birds Wo would starve i In
two yeara, If there' anything that
makes mo mad It is to see a farmer
grab n, shotgun and kilt ft chicken hawk.
That hawk Is worth ft lot more than some
old hen you couldn't cook tender If you
boiled It for two days. That chicken
hawk has killed all the gophers, mlc
and snakes It could get Its claws on and
It has como to demand from tho farmer
tho toll that Is rightfully due to It, for
what It lias done to rid tho land of pests.
ttVhv Is It that with all our universities
and colleges we haven't produced a book
llko the Blble7 It was written long ago
by people who lived In ft llltlo country
no bigger than somo of our States. The
reason was that God was behind the
writers, The book wns Inspired.
"Somo tlmo ago tho funeral of a famous
woman was held In London. Edward,
who was King then, camo with his con
sort, Alexandra, to look upon her face,
and Dukes and Duchesses and members
of the nobility camo. Then the doors
wero opened and tho populace camo In by
thousands. Down tho aisle camo ft
woman whoso face and dress bore tho
marks of poverty. By ono hand she led n
child, and In her arms sho carried an
other. As sho reached the coflln sho set
down tho child she was carrying and bent
her head upon tho glass above tho qulej
face In tho coflln, and her old fascinator
fell down upon It. 'Come,' said a police
man, 'you must movo on.' But the
woman stood by tho coflln. Til not movo
on,' she said, 'for I have a right here."
Tho policeman said,, 'you must movo on.
It's orders,' but tho woman said, 'no, I've
walked CO miles to look upon her face
ngaln. Sho saved my two boys from be
ing drunkards.' Tho woman In tho coflln
wns Mrs. Booth, wife of tho great leader
of tho Salvation Army.
' "I'd rather have somo reclaimed
drunkard or some poor girl redeemed
from sin nnd shamo stand by my coflln
and rain down tears of gratltudo upon It
thnn to have ft monument of gold studded
with precious stones that would plerco tho
skies.
" K yo lovo me, keep my command
ments and I will pray my Father, and
Ho will glvo you another comforter, that
Ho may abide with you forovcr.' "
