ran a revival onoe a year but ur clergyman you are not living for today tomorrow for next weok for next year vfo do not want you to defend your work by yoang converts or by middle- aged christians wo want you to come bete by the deathbed of the christian and tell os air if you will defend your faith there he woald cocao and say that is the test i want i do not want you to try christianity by the

would not that be a good advertisement for the christian religion the vetkba8 in uro i recently saw by tho papers that at a great camp- mooting they called together on the platform all tbe old men and wom en who had been in christian work fifty years and there was a orowd in the audi torium to hear their testimony the papers stated that as these old veterans in the service of christ gave in their
