Pride Must Give Way Church Kents Must be Free us Those mn a Life Boat, In the following sermon Dr. Talmage makes a plea for cheerful churches and urges revolutionary methods for good in families, religious assemblies and nations. The text is Acts 17: that have turned the world down are come hither also.” is a wild, around the house of Jason, What the rreatly to offend the peopie i “These upside 0; There bellowing mob in lonic has a. man entert ul and his com The “Bring aining Pu mob surround the house out tho v are inte + turbulent ring with Ness, hey re ruining They are our ‘harge ing that wit to there there form every is glorious the it that and in world now is wrong sid 1p, ne der that it may time titling ity.” want no more Ir of t ligion.

You may have wandered far off in the paths of sin and darkness; but you have never forgotten that family altar where father and mother knelt, impor tuning God for your soul. That is a memory that a man never gets over. There will be a hearty, joyful family altar in every domestic circle. You will not have to go far to find Hannah rearing her Samuel for the temple, or a grandmother Lois instructing her young Timothy in the knowledge of Christ, or a Mary, and Martha, and Lazarus gathered in fraternal and sis terly affection, or a table at which Jesus sits, as at that of Zaccheus, or a» home in which Jesus dwells, as in the house of Bimon the tanner. The re- ligion of Jesus Christ, coming into the domestic circle, will overghrow all jeanlousies, all janglings: and peace, and order, and holiness will take pos session of the home. Again: Christianity will produce a revolution in commercial circles Find me 50 merchants, and you will find that they have 50 standards of what is right and wrong. You say to some one about a merchant, “Is he honest?” } ne, is lost, and | and ask, | door | wall? | the to turn | | one dishonest transaction will keep on [he | until | wreck and ruin stian- | | have seen it part | have you. | facturer and | it ean be opened. | that, ho of | | demand, * i come | wrong | cursed, last | hundreds of honest | rations. | defeat must tome in : | Christ are ¢ Lord. | think they will save the masses.” ‘Oh, ves,” the man envy, “he is honest! put he grinds the foces of his clerks He is honest, but he exaggerates the vislue of his goods. He is honest, but he loans money on bond and mortgage, with the understanding that the mort- gage can lip quiet for 10 years, but as soon a8 ho gets the mortgage, he re- cords it and begins n foreclosure suit, and the sheriff's writ comes down, and the day of sale arrives, and away goes the homestead, and the ereditor buys it at half price.” Honest? when he loaned the money he knew that he would get the homestead at half price. Honest? but he goes to the insurance office to get a policy on his life, and tells the doctor that he is well, when he knows that for 10 years he has had but one lung.

Five hundred thousand of them will not do it, They are doing a magnificent work; but every mission chapel is a confession of the disease and weakness of the church. It Is making a dividing line between the classes. It is saying to the rich and to the well conditioned, “If you ean pay your pew rents, come to the main andi- ence " It is saying to the poor SAYS Ome one, many room. man, “Your coat is too bad, and your shoes are not good enough. If you want to get to Heaven, you will have to go by the way of the mission chapel.” The mission chapel has become the kitchen, where the church does its sloppy work. There are hundreds and thousands of churches in this country gorgeously built and supported that, even on bright and sunshiny days are not half full of worshipers: and yet they are building mission chapels, beeause, by some expressed or implied regulation, the great masses of the people are kept out of the main audi ence room. Now I say that any place of worship which is appropriate for one class is appropriate for all classes. Let the rich and the poor meet together, the Lord the Maker of them all. Mind you that 1 say that mission chapels are a necessity, the way churches are now conducted; but may God speed the time when thoy shall cease to be a necessity. God will rise up and break down the gates of the church that have kept back the masses; and woe be to those who stand in the way! They will be tram- pled under foot hy the vast population waking a stampede for Heaven. I saw in some paper an account of a church in Boston in which, it is said, there were a great mony plain people. The next week the trustees of that church came out in the paper, and said it was not so st all; ‘they were ele gant people, and highly-conditioned people that went there.” Then I laughed outright; and when I laugh, I laugh very loudly. “Those people,” I sald, “are afrald of the sickly senti- mentality of the churches.” Now, my ambition is not to preach to you much. It seems to me that you must be faring sumptuously every day, and the marks of comfort are all about you. You do need the half as much SOMES never come Rather be f m in there fifty squipages on the Sat HO nov ns RO pel do who here. than priding mysel chureh f which 11 front o shall halt splendid I woule ath day, ¢ a church up whose gates there should a long process the suff dying, come on and the begging for admittance.

But those dying of which I speak, by reason of their wantand suf- fering, Iu destiny, are dition if there be any comfort in Christ's pel, for God's sake it to them.

A messenger came in, bringing a letter informing him of a conspt to end his life, and warning him to flee. Archias put it into his Po and said to the messenger who brought it: “Business to-morro®!” The next day he died. Hefore he opened the letter, the government was tured.
