from Esther It,
14. "Wht know-
th whothor thou art coma to tha klnc
4om for auch a tlma aa thta?" ,
Eathar tha baautlful was tha wife ol
Ahasuanu tha abominable. Tha tlma
had coma tor her to present a petition
to her Infamous husband In behalf ol
tha Jewish nation, to which aha had
ones belonged. She was afraid to un
dertake tha work lest she should lone
har own life, but her cousin, MordecaJ,
who had brought her up, encouraged
har with tha suggestion that probably
she had been raised up of God for that
peculiar mission. "Who knowetb
whether thou art come to the kingdom
for such a time as this?"
Esther had her God appointed work.
Tou and I have ours. It 1b my busi
ness to tell you what style of men and
women you ought to be In order that
you meet tha demand of the age In
which God has cast your lot. So this
discourse will not deal with the tech
nicalities, but only with the practica
bilities. When two armies have rush
ed Into battle, tha officers of either ar
my do not want a philosophical discus
sion about the chemical properties ot
human blood or the nature of gunpow
der. They want some one to man the
batteries and take out the guns. And
now, when all the forces of light and
darkness of heaven and hell have
plunged into the fight. It Is no time to
give ourselves to the definitions and
formulas and technicalities and con
ventionalitles of religion. What we
want is practical, earnest, concentrated,
enthusiastic and triumphant help.
In tha first place, lu order to meet
the special demand of this age, you
need to be an unmistakable, aggressive
Christian. Of half and half Christians
wa do not want any more. The church
of Jesus Christ will be better without
them. They are the chief obstacle to
tha church's advancement. I am
speaking of another kind of Christian.
All tha appliances for your becoming
an earnest Christian are at your hand,
and there la a straight path for you
Into tha broad daylight of Cod's for
glveness. You may this moment be
tho bondmen of the world, and the next
moment you may be the princes of the
Lord God Almighty. You remember
what excitement there was in this
country, years ago, when the Prince of
Wales came here how the people rush
ed out by hundreds of thousands to see
him. Why Because they expected
that some day he would sit upon the
throne of England. Dut what was all
that honor compared with the honor
to which God calls you to be sons and
daughters of the Lord God Almighty
'yea, to be queens and kings unto God.
"They shall reign with him forever and
forever."'
But you need to be aggressive Chris
tians, and not like those persons who
spend their lives in hugging their
Christian graces and wondering why
they do not make progress. How much
robustness of health would a man have
if he bid himself In a dark closet? A
great deal of the piety of to-day is too
exclusive. It hides itself. It needs
more fresh air, more outdoor exercise.
There aro many Christians who are
giving their entire life to self examina
tion. They are feeling their puUes to
see what Is the condition of their splr
itual health. How long would a man
have robust physical health if he kept
all tha day feeling his pulse Instead of
going out Into active, earnest everyday
work?
I was ones amid the wonderful, be
witching cactus growths of North Car
olina. I never was more bewildered
with the beauty of flowers, and yet
when I would take up one of these cac
tuses and pull tha leaves apart the
beauty was all gone. You could hardly
tell that It had aver been a flower. And
there are a great many Christian peo
ple In thla day just pulling apart their
Christian axparlencea to see what there
la In them, and there la nothing left In
them.
Thla stylo of self-examination Is a
damage Instead of an advantage to
thalr Christian character. I remember
whan I was a boy I used to kava a
small place in tha garden that I called
my own, and I planted corn there, and
every few days I would pull It up to
sea how fast It was growing. Now,
there are a great many Christian peo
ple in thla day whose self examination
merely amounts to the pulling up ot
that which they only yesterday or tha
day before planted. Oh, my friends,
If you want to have a stalwart Chris
tian character, plant It right out ol
doors In the great field of Christian
usefulness, -and though storms may
come apoo It, and though the hot aua
of 'trial may try to ooniume it, it will
thrive until It becomes a great tree, la
which tha fowla at heaven may havt
their, haeltatiea. I have no patience
with, these flowerpot Christians. They
keep taamaalvea under shelter, and all
their Christian experience in ,a small,
exclusive ' circle, when they ought to
plant It It the great garden of the Lord,
ao that tha whole atmosphere could b
arOmatle with thalr Christian useful
neas. .. What wa want In the church ot
God la awre strength of piety. Tht

and woaderfully beautiful,, but I nevei

A recent statistician aayt that hum
Ufa now has aa average of on y s:
years. From these Si years you u
subtract all the time you take fcr
and the taking of food and recre .tiou,
that will leave you about 16 yew.
Prom these 16 you' must subtract .c
the time . that you - are noceit i ;
engaged la the earning of a l'.v.j'i
hood. That will leave you iMt
eight years. From these e..:M
years you must take all tb
days and weeks and months all the
length of time that ta passed in k Si
nes leaving you about one year lu
which, to work for-God. O my soul,
wake up! How darest thou sleep In
harvest time and with so few hours In
which to reap. 8a, that I state If an a
simple fact thaCall the time that tho
vast majority of you will have for tUe
exclusive service of Ood will be leas
than one year.
"But," says some man." I liberally
support the gospel, and the church Is
open, and the gospel is preached; all
the spiritual advantages are spread be
fore men, and If they want to be saved
let them come and be saved I have
discharged all my responsibility." Ah,
is that my Master's spirit? Is there
not an old book somewhere that com
mands us to go out into the hlghw-.ys
and the hedges and compel the people
to come In? What would becomu of
you and me If Christ had not come
down off tbe hills of heaven, ar.d If
he had not come through tho door of
the Bethlehem caravansary, and If ho
had not with the crushed hum! of
tbe crucifixion knocked at the Iron
gate of the sepulcher of our spiritual
death, crying, "Lazarus, come for'.ii?"
uo, my unrisiian menu, this is no t ir.e
for Inertia when all the forces of da:-lines
seem to be in full blast vlnn
steam printing presses are publluhli'r:
infidel tracts, when express trains :-.io
carrying messengers of sin, when f;wi
clippers are laden with opium rr.d
strong drink, when tbe night air if
our cities Is polluted with the laugh
ter that breaks up from the 10.000 sa
loons of dissipation and abutidDnn.fi
when the fires of the second death al
ready are kindled in the cheeks of
some who, only a little while ngo, wore
Incorrupt! Ob, never since the cm so
fell upon the earth has there been a
time when it was such an unwise, such
a cruel, such an awful thing for the
church to sleep! The great audiences
are not gathered in Christian churches.
The great audiences are gathered In
temples of sin tears of unutterable
woe their baptism, the blood of crushed
hearts the awful wine of their sacra
ment, blasphemies their litany, and the
groans of the lost world the organ
dirge of their worship.
Again, if you want to be qualified to
meet the duties which this age de
mands of you, you must on the one
band avoid reckless iconoclasm and on
the other hand not stick too much to
things because they are old. The air
Is full of new plans, new projects, new
theories of government, new theologies,
and I am amazed to see how so many
Christians want only novelty In order
to recommend a thing to their confi
dence, and so they vacillate and swing
to and fro, and they are useless and
they are unhappy. New plans secu
lar, ethical, philosophical, religious,
cisatlantic, transatlantic long enough
to make a line reaching from tbe Ger
man universities to Great Salt Lake
city. Ah, my brother, do not take hold
of a thing merely because it Is new!
Try It by the realities of the Judgment
day. But, on the other hand, do not
adhere to anything, merely because It
is old.
There is not a single enterprise of
the church or the world but has some
time been scoffed at. There was a time
when men derided even Bible societies,
tnd when a few young men met in Mas
sachusetts and organized the first mis
sionary society ever organized in this
country there went laughter and ridi
cule all around the Christian church.
They said the undertaking was prepos
terous. And so also the work of Jesus
Christ was assailed. People cried out:
"Who ever beard of such theories of
ethics and government! Who ever no
ticed such a sty! of preaching aa Je
sus has?"' Ezeklel had talked of mys
terious wings and wheels. Here came
a man from Capernaum and Gennesa
ret, and he drew his illustrations from
the lakes, from the sand, from the
mountain, from the lilies, from the
cornstalks. How the Pharisees scoff
ed! How Herod derided! And this Je
sus they plucked by the beard, and
they spat in bis face, and they called
him "this fellow." All the great enter
prises la and out of the church have at
times been scoffed at. and there have
been a great multitude who have
thought that the chariot of God's truth
would fall to pieces if It once got out of
the old rut. And so there are those
who have no patience with anything
like Improvement in church architect
ure, or with anything like good, hearty,
earnest church singing, and they deride
any form of religious discussion which
goes down walking among' ' everyday
men rather than that which makes an
excursion on rhetorical stilts. Oh, that
the church of God would wake up to an
adaptability of work! ' - r
"But," say tha people, "th world Is
going to he converted; you must be pa
tient; the kingdoms of tnls world ae
to become the kingdoms '.pf'Ckrlst"
Never, unless the ehurea of Jesus
Christ put oa more speed and energy.
Instead of .the church converting the
world, tha world la converting tha
church. - Bare la a great fometav How
nan It be take?-' Aa' amy cornea aad

Ihroegh that starvation and eshaua
Uoa. But, my friends, the fortresses
of sin are never to be taken in that
way. If they aro taken for God, it will
be by storm; you will have to bring op
the great siege guns of the gospel to
the very wall aad wheel the flying ar
tillery Into line, and when the armed
infantry of heaven shall confront the
battlements you will have to give the
quick command, "Forward! Charge!"
Ah, my friends, there la work for you
to do and for me to do In order to this
grand accomplishment I have a pul
pit. I preach In It Your pulpit
Is the bank. Your pulpit Is the store.
Your pulpit Is the editorial chair. Your
pulpit Is the anvil. Your pulpit is the
house scaffolding. Your pulpit is the
mechanics' shop. I may stand in my
place; and, through cowardice or
through self seeking, may keep back
the word I ought to utter, while you,
with sleeve rolled up and brow . be
sweated with toll, may utter tho words
that will Jar the foundations ot heaven
with the shout ot great victory. Oh,
that we might all feel that the Lord Al
mighty la putting upon us the hands ot
ordination! I tell you, every one, go
forth and preach this gospel. You
have as much right to preach as I have
or any man living.
Hedley Vicars was a wicked man in
the English army. The grace of God
eame to him. He became an earnest
tnd eminent Christian. They scoffed
U him and said: "You are a hypocrite.
You are as bad as ever you were."
Still he kept his faith in Christ, and
after awhile, finding that they could
not turn him aside by calling him a
hypocrite, they said to him, "Oh, you
ire nothing but a Methodist!" This did
not disturb him. He went on perform
ing his Christian duty unUl be had
formed all his troops into a Bible class,
tnd the whole encampment was shaken
with the presence of God. So Have
lock went Into the heathen temple in
ndla while the English army was there
tnd put a candle into the hand of each
it the heathen gods that Btood around
the heathen temple, and by the light
3f these candles held up by the Idols
General Havelock preached righteous
ness, temperance and Judgment to
come. And who will say on earth or
In heaven that Havelock had not the
right to preach? In the minister's
bouse where I prepared for college there
worked a man by the name of Peter
Droy. He could neither read nor wrltd,
but be was a man of God. Often theo
logians would stop in the house grave
theologians and at family prayer Pe
ter Croy would be called upon to lead,
tnd all those wise men sat around,
wonder struck at his religious efficien
cy. When he prayed, he reached up
tnd seemed to take hold of tbe very
throne of the Almighty, and he talked
with God until the very heavens wero
xwed down Into tho sitting room.
I remark again, that In order to be
jttallfled to meet your duty In this par
ticular age you want unbounded faith
In the triumph of the truth and tbe
iverthrow of wickedness. How dare
the Christian church ever get dlscour
tged? Have we not the Lord Almighty
n our side? How long did it take God
to slay tho hosts of Sennacherib or
burn Sodom or shake down Jericho?
How long will It take God, when he
ance arises in his strength, to over
throw all the forces of Iniquity? Be
tween this time and that there may be
long seasons of darkness, and the
"harlot wheels of God's gospel may
teem to drag heavily, but here is the
promise and yonder is tbe throne, and
when omlniscence has lost its eyesight
tnd omnipotence falls back impotent
tnd Jehovah is driven from his throne,
then the church of Jesus Christ can
tfford to be despondent, but never until
then.
Despots may plan and armies may
march and tbe congresses of tbe na
tions may seem to think they are ad
justing all tbe affairs ot the world,
but the mighty men of the earth are
only the dust of the chariot wheels of
God's providence. And I think before
the sun of tbe next century shall set
the last tyranny will fall, and with a
tplendor of demonstration that shall be
the astonishment of the universe God
will set forth the brightness and pomp
tnd glory and perpetuity of hia eternal
government. Out of the starry' flags
and the emblazoned insignia of this
world God will make a path for his
own triumph and returning front uni
versal conquest he will sit down, the
grandest, the strongest, highest throne
9f earth his footstool.
I prepare this sermon because I want
to encourage all Christian workers In
tvery possible department Hosts of
the living 'God, march on, march on,
march on! , Hla spirit will bless you.
His shield wUl defend you. His sword
will strike for you. March on, march

LES80N NOTES.
L Whom Shall We Serve? V. 84.
"No man can serve two master:" Who
are distinct and opposite in character
and demands, who belong to different
kingdoms, each with it own separate
Interest The Greek word for "the
other," in this verse, means not merely
another person, but one of different
quality. "Yo cannot serve God and
mammon:" Mammon ia a Syriao word
meaning riches or wealth. It is the
commonest form in which Satan ap
pear and in which men serve him.
II. Our Heavenly Father's Care of
Those Who Serve Him. Vs. 25-34. 85.
"Therefore I say unto you," In order
that you may choose the service of God,
without fear; foranxiety about worldly
thirty I one chief reason why men
serve mammon. "Take no thought:"
This translation ha troubled many a
Under conscience. Take thought, in
this rmagape, was u truthful rendering
when th A. V. was inncle, since thought
was then used as equivalent to anxiety
or solicitude. "For your life, what ye
shall eat," to support life. Make not
your physical and temporal want the
special and great object of thoughtand
core. "Your body:" Shelter and cloth
ing, together with food, constitute a
large part of the natural, physical
wonts of man. Moat of the business of
the world centers in these things.
"la not the life more than meat,"
which sustains the life? The argument
la twofold. (1) Since God haa given
life, will He not see thnt nienns of kiib-talni.-ff
life are (riven with it? For tho
one gift Is vain without the other. (2)
We should give our c hief attention to
the life, tho true life, nnd the leaner
thing will eoine in due measure.
2. "Rehold the fowls of the nir:"
IHrds were exceedingly abundant in
Galilee, and doubtless, Jesus at this
very time could point to the bird with
in sight of His hearers. "For they sow
not, neither do they reap:" Notice, itis
not nald to us: "Sow not, reap not,
gather not into horns." The birds are
not our example to follow in their
hnblu. for God hath mode us to differ
from them; tho doing oil thee thinfftt
is part of our "how much better nre ye."
"Yet your:" Note the your, not their,
the Father whose children you are.
"Your Heavenly Father f mirth them:"
Not In idleness, not by putting food in
UierT mouths whiln they sit still lu tho
trees and slnp and wnlt; but by provid
ing the food which tliey can obtain, and
providing them with the means of see
ing and obtaining food.
28. "Consider the lilies . . . how
Uiov prow:" Many were doubtless on,
eery hand within sight of his hearers.
(mt At . .
I iney ion not, neither Uo tlit-y spin: '
They do not work In man's way for their
(rorreous array. They simply five in
