I( When Uihslonury Caiy put before an
J,f of mluUtsrs t Nortbamptloa bit
project for the evncl!i!itlon Of Indls, tef
lnghel Mm out ot the nous. From CW
cutta on the east of India to Kombay on the
west there Is not a neighhorhoo 1 but dlreetiy
or Indirectly feels the goipd power. The
Juggernaut, which did Its awful work for
centuries, a few weeks ago wsa brought out
from the place where It has for years been
kept under shed as a curiosity, and there
was no one rrerentlally to greet It. About
S.OOO.OOOof Christian souls tn India aretne

will lead the 340,000.000 oi Chins. "They

of Mohnmmndnnlsm will be turned Into a
Christian church. The last Kit IduK temple
will become n tortre.s of light. Tho last
idol of Ulndooitm trill be pltchoj Into the
Ore.
The Christ wh came from the East will
yet bring nil the F.nst with Him. Of course
there are high obstacles to he overcome, and
great ordeals must be passed through before
the consummation, ns witnesstheAmenlnns
under the butchery of the Turks. May that
throne on te batiks of the Ilophorus soon
crumble ! Tho time hns nlrrady come when
the United States Government nnd Ctrnt

It Is not requisite that nrms bo sent there to

i erorm has swept across this Ian I. und nil
tho cities nro fucliugtho advantage of the
mighty movement. Let tip) good work go
on until the last municipal evil is ox
tirpntd. About llfteen vears ago the dis
tinguished olltor of a 'New Yoric dolly
nowspap-r Slid to mo In his editorial
room : "You ministers talk about evils of
which you know nothing. Why don't you
go with the officers of the law and explore
for yourself, so that when you preach ng ilnst
sin you can speak fro:n what you have seen
with your own eyes?" I s il l, "I will," and
In comp any with a commissioner of police
nnd a captain ol police and two eld'irs of my
chur th I exploro I thedeus nn 1 hiding places
of nil styles ol crime In New Yor and
preached n series of surtnons warning youni,
men and s itting forth the work that must be
done lest the Judgments of God whem this
city with more nwlulsufmiergoment thantho
volcnnlo deluge tn.it burled HeroulaneaT
and Pompeii. I received, ns nearly as I can
r. member, several hundred columns of nsws
pnperahuso for undortnklng that explora
tion. Editorials of denunciation, double
loaded, nnd with captions in great primer
tvpo, entitled "The Fall of T.ilmsg." or
"Talmage Makes the Mistake of Ills Life,"
or "Down With Talmage," hut I stlil live
and am In lull sympathy with nil movo.aeatj
formuuicipil piitiiu.ttlou.
Hut a movement whi ili on Is with crime
exposod nn l law cx 'cut.j.l stops half wty.
Nay, It stops lon b ifore .t g ts half way.
1 he law never yet saved nnyhndy, niver yet
changed anybody. Dreak up all tho houses
o! Iniquity in this city, and you only scud
the occupants to other citls. Lreaii down
nil tho policemen in New York, nud while It
changes their worldly fortunes It does not
change their heart or life. Tho greatest
wnnt In New York to-day Is the transform
ing power of tho gospel of Jesus Christ to
change the heart and tho tilo nnd uplift the
tone of moral sentlai4it nnd make m?n do
right not because they aro nfrald of Lu How
Street Jail or Sing Sfug, but beuausn they
love God and hnte unrighteousness. I have
never hoard, nor have you heard, of any
thing except the gospel that proposes to re
generate the heart, an 1 by the lufluuoe of
that reenerared heart rectify the life. Ex
euto tho law most certainly, but pr-ach the
gospel by nil moans In churches, lu theutres,
In homes, In prisons, on the land nu I on th i
sea. Tho gospel Is tne enly pow -r that euu
revolutionize society nnd save the world. Ail
e'gs Is half and half work an 1 will not lust.
In New York it has allowed men who got by
police bribery their thousands nn l tens of
thousands and porhaps hundreds of thou
sands of dollars to go e-ot Jreo, while some
who were merely the e.ifg p n- iiu,i a.,.tt of
nnbery nre srru ik with tin lightnings of th i
law. It reminds me of atcae lu Philadel
phia when I was living there, a poor wo
man had been nrrjst. nnl tried and Im
prisoned for selling mobi's.-s ciudv on Sun
day. Other lawbreakers had hum allowed
to go undl-turbo I, and tun grogshops were
open on the Lor I's D.iv, and tho law, with
its hands behind Its ha ;!.-, willtel up nn l
down the streets decilnln to molest'manv
ot tho off 'nders, but we nil rose up In our
righteous indignation, unit calling uuou nil
powers, visible nn I Inv.slhlo, to help us, w
declared that though the heavens full no wo
man should bo adowod to bull inolusses
can ly on Sunday.
A few weeks ago, after I hal pronehed In
oue of the eiiurnhes In this city, a man
staggered up ou th pulpit stairs, maudlin
drunk, t ayiug, "I am oae o' tuo reformers
that were elected to high oHie at tho last
election." I got rid of that "great reformer''
as soon as I could, but I did not get rid of
the impression that a man like that would
cure the nboailuntlons of New York about as
soon as smallpox would cure typhoid fevr
or a buzzsaw render Haydn's "Creation.'1
Polities in all our cities has bocotne so cor
rupt that the only difference between the
Hapubllcsn and Damoor.ttlo parties is that
each It worse than the other. Put wtut
nothing else in the universe can do the got
pel oau and will accomplish. "They snail
come from the West," and for that purpose
the evangelist lo batteries are plauted all
along the Pacific coast, as they urs plantud
all along the At lent io coast. . All the prol
rles, all the mountains, all the valleys, nil
theoitiss are under more or less gospel la
Huenae, and when we get anongh faith acd
consecretlon for the work this whole Ametl
cap, continent will t?rr oot for God. "Thiy
hall come from the West." '
The work is not so difficulty as many tup
pose. You say, "Therenre the foreign pos-
illations." Yes, but many of them are Hol
landers, and they were brought up to lo'o
aud worship God. and It will take but little
to persuade the Hollanders to adopt ths re
ligion ot their forefathers. Then there are
among these foreigners so many of tie
Scotch. Tbey or their ancestor beard

the Swiss, and they wre rocked la a cradle
under tho shadow of th Alps, that cathedral
of the Almighty In which all the elements,

13. "When Jesus enme unto tho coasts of
CnvMireft I'hlllppl, He nskel His dis..;pi,
nylng, Whom do men say that I. the Hon
of Man, am?" After feeding tho Iif)), w ilk
log on the tea and discoursing niiout the
bread of life, Jesus went toward Tyre and
Sldott anil healed sjhe daughter ot a Syro.
rhenlclnn woman, fed 4D00 nnd cnii'lond
Hlsdls. iples ngalust tho leav n of the Phari
eet and Kaddiliees, or the false teaciilng, nt
hypocrites nnd rntionallsts. Then, hiving
passod to another section. Ho nsie, tii
question of this verse,
U. "And thev said. Sm-n say Tiion art
John the I'.aptist, soma F.lins, nnl ot tiers
Joremlas, or one of the prophets." ,Tut as
varied are the opinions of men now con.'-rn-Ing
Him, for while many hate Him nnd turn
their backs unon Him nianv who provs tn
be !j!s (ru n, will not believe that He u
Ood, and many more who couh-ss with the
mouth that Ho Is (lo I as well ns man aie not
slow to sav that in some things, as n man.
Ho was mistaken or snoko a 'cor.lmg to the
mlstauen notions of His times, while others
who would not dare to sav nnv of tbe..
things will not believe that Ho is tho coaiiui;
one to sit on Havld's throne,
13. "II i s nth unto the. ii, jnt whom siv
ye that I nm?" Asfarns wo ar Indlvi lu
ally concerui'd, the great ipiestlon Is not
what others think of Christ, but what wo
think of Him, lor "every one of us shall give
account of biniselt to Hod" ( II ) n. xlv.. 12.
if" will dcil with e-idi one separately an l
personally, nnd tho great "piestl on (or me
Is: "What do I think of (,'nnst? What is
He tome.-" What ts my relation to Him?
Is He my Irlen I nnd Saviour, or do 1 act aslt
It was nothing to tuo whether Ho ever live 1
or not'.
M. "And Kimon Peter answered and said,
Thou art the ( urlxt, the Sou ot the living
tlo-l." Ily comparing verses 2 n is.l 4 of
Math. II., we see that "the Christ" ii synony
mous with "the Kingo' t he Jews." liy coili
paring vers-s :)1 and St; of John x. we see
that In their eyes "the Son of Co;" me.nt
"eiual with (lo I." so that Peter's confession
meant nt lenut thus niueri : "Thou art the
King nt the Jews, the Divine Man to sit on
David's throne."
17. "An I Jesus nnswrel end said unto
blm, Plessed art thou, Hunon ilir-Jor.a. for
Itesh nn l bloo 1 hath n-t revealel It unto
thie, but Mv Father which is in heaven,"
Flesu and b.oo I, or the natural man. cannot
reveal un'o us heavenly thluis, even as it Is
written lu I Cor. II.. U, 11. (tot only can
teach us ot Himself i,y His holy Spirit, hut
Ho is reaily to teach al. who an! ready to be
tuught.
In. "And I say also unto thee that thou
art Peter, and upon tins rok I will build
my ehiiren, an I the giTcs .,( hdl Ri,i! not
prevail ng unst It." The Greek words trans
late I "peter" nud "ro -k" are not quite the
sau.e, lor the word translate! peter"
means a bit of ro.'k, u rolling stone, hut th
word translated ,-roek" means a clnT or
bu lge, a soli I rock. Tho church was not
to be built upon Peter, a rolling stone, but
upon the solid rock, Christ, whom peter
coulessi' 1 to bo the Christ, tne S :i of lio I.
Notice that thochurth was not. then, built
in.r being huildod, for He sil 1, "I will build
My church. '
l'J. "And I will give unto theo tho keys of
tho kingdom ot heaven, i.nd whats e ver
thou shait bind on e irth shall be bound in
heaven, and whntsoevi r thou s'nalt Ions t on
rnrtu shall be loosed lu heaven." We know
from Acts II. nn l x. that Pc'er w is the lirt
Of nil tho upst lets to preach tUo gospel bot!i
to Jews anu gentile-, and thus. He opened
tho iloor to nil, uud this is the power ol keys.
As to the binding an I loosing, we know Unit
the same power was given to the uuurcli as
a whole tn chapter xvlil., is. F.verv I e
llevr Is authorized to proclaim the gospel
(ll :v. xjlII., I") and to point tlio rcpuntnut

20. "Tin n charged Ho II. s dl-eip'.es that
they should tll no m in that Ho W.i-Jesn-.,
the Christ." He bad ivinfesse I to the woman
ot Samaria that He wns the M-si,ih (John
lv., 2j, -If,) He ha 1 1 the J.ovs giv in n.any
proofs that Ho was their M s-ia'i, nud luey

He will declare it t.o tiioic. See chapter
