6 - THE CENTRE DEMOCRAT, BELLEFONTE, PA.,, THURSLCAY, JANUARY 7. 1807. A DASH FOR ZION. Qouragoous Ohristians Needed for the Battle. Xhe Mounted Cavalry of Christ will Cap- ture the World for God-If Chris ! tians Do Thelr Duty the Vie tary Wiki Soon Pe Won, , In his latest Washington sermon Dr. Talmage urged the followers of Christ to make a bold dash for the cause of righteousness. His remarks were based on the text IIL Kings 18: 23: “I will deliver thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders jmpon them." Up by the water works, the upper reservoir of Jerusalem, the general of the besieging army and the generals of besieged Jerusalem are in consultation. Though Gen. Rab-shakeh had been largely paid to stop the siege, he kept the money and continued the siege-— the military miscreant! Rab-shakeh fderides the capacity of the city to de- fend itself, and practically says: “You ve not 2,000 men who can manage orses. Produce 2,000 cavalrymen and will give you 2,000 cavalry horses. You have not in all your besieged city jot Jerusalem 2,000 men who can mount them, and by bit and bridle control a horse.” Rab-shakeh realized that it is easier to find horses than skillful riders, and hence he makes the chal lenge of the text: “I will deliver thee 3,000 horses if thou be able to set riders mpon them.” { Rab-shakeh, like many another bad unan, sald a very suggestive thing. {The world is full of great energies and great opportunities, but few know how (to bridle them and mount them and manage them. More spirited horses than competent riders! The fact is thas in the church of God we have plenty of fortress~s well managed, and {plenty of heavy artillery, and plenty of solid columns of brave, diery, but what alry—mounted tro den that se perate If Washi de nn are be by tation, great t Christian sol- we most need God-—{ is cave wr sud- ps of charge ems almost des- holes of len assaul that w the armaoed ithe force the sud 11 astound Comes, y know that which they cannd . a way that they cannot une They will be overcome | ment.

To this army lof Christian service belong the evangel- fists. It ought to be the business of ‘the regular churches to multiply them. Some of them you like, some of them you do not like, You say some are too sensational, and some of them are not enmgh learned, and some of them are erratic, and some of them are too vehe- ment, and some of them pray too loud. Oh, fold up your criticism and let them do that which we, the pastors, can never do. 1 like all the evangelists I have ever seen or heard. They are busy now; [they are busy every day of the week. iWhile we, the pastors, serve God by holding the fortress of righteousness and drilling the Christian soldiery, and by Armies anthems and sermons sud ordinances on the right side, they are out fighting the forces of darkness “hip and thigh, with great slaughter.” under God, in which will accom world’s redemption The press will be delivered deseribe as again come ) ‘ ¥ Al success to them! The faster they gallop, the better I like it. The keener the lances they fling, the more 1 ad- mife them, We care not what conven- tionality they infract if they only gain the victory, Moody, and Chapman, and Mills, and Jenes, and Harrison, and Munhall, and Maj. Cole, and Critten- den, and a hundred oshers are now making the cavalry charge, and they are this moment taking New York and Philadelphia and Cincinnati for God, and I wish they might take our na- | tion's capital. Hear the tremendous | facts: There are now in this country | nearly 106,000 church congregaticus, with nearly 21,000,000 communicants and seating capacity in church for more than 483,000,000 people; in other words, room in the churches for three- fourths of the population of this coun- | try, and about one-third of the popu- | lation of this country already Chris- | tian, In other words, we have only to ing the next three years and our coun- | try isredeemed. Who can not, under the power of the Holy Ghost, bring two souls to God in three years? As so many will bring hundreds and thou- | yw.q gq tiger's eyes glared on them from | the thicket, and he did not dare to tell her sands to God, most of you have to bring only one soul to God and the gos- pel campaign for this continent will be ended. If you cannot bring one soul to God, or two souls, or three souls, in ‘three years, you are no Christian, and eserve yourself to be shut out of Heaven. The religious pessimists of this country are all the time depict. ing the obstacles as so great and our forces as so small, that we half of the time feel that we are attempting an impossibility. Take out of your pray- prs and preaching some of your stufling of groans and put in something of ac- clamation and triumph, and the United States will be gospelized, and if the United States be gospelized America will be gospelized, and America gospel. ized, we will take Asia from the Pa- cific beach and Europe from the Atlan- tio beach, and not far from lost star we live on will take its place among the fell.

As from the windows and of the “House of Many Mansions” we look on the passing spectacle some of us will wish that on earth we had had less sal ary and mere hardships, less eomfort and more exposure, less caution and more courage, shelter and more storm, less smooth sailing and more cy- clone, and that we had dared all at the front instead of taking good eare of ourselves in the rear.

A glorious Heaven it will be for all of us who anywhere, and any- how served the Lord, but an especial fleaven, a mounted Heaven, a proces. sional Heaven for those who have done “Velocity” is the word that describes | Outside work, exposed work, and be. longed to the Lord's eavalry.
