bide tbe splen did facts but to recite them publish them and as far as possible let all the world know about it let tbe redeemed of the lord say so there is a sinful reticence which has been almost canonized the people are quite as outspoken as they ought to be on all subjects of politics and are fluent and voluble on the venezuelan question and bimetallism and tariffs high and low and remodeled and fe male suffrage and you have to skill fully watch your chance if you want to put into the active conversation a modest suggestion of your own but on the subject of divine goodness re- hgioife experience and eternal bless edness they are not only silent but boastful of their reticence now if you have been redeemed of the lord why do you not say eo t if you have in your heart the pearl of great price worth more than the kohinoor among victorian jewels why not let others see ill if you got off the wreck in tbe breakers why not tell of tbe crew and the stout lifeboat that safely landed

starting a revival frvt artspoton earth that has been the place where the redeemed of the lord said sol will die as a christian though he was dragged oat and stoned to death they could not drown the testimony made under such awful circumstances i am a christian i wul die a chris tian let the redeemed of the lord say so ph what a confirmation would come if all who had answers to prayers would speak out if all merchants in tight places because of hard times would tell how in response to supplication they got the money to pay the note if all far in time of draught would tell how in answer to prayer the rain came just in time to save the crop if all par ents who prayed for a wandering son to come home would tell bow- not long aft er they beard tbe boys band on the latch key of the front door samuel hick an english methodist preacher solicited aid for west india missions from a rich miser and failed then the minister dropped on his knees and the miser said i will give thee a guinea if thou wilt give over but the minister continued to pray until the miser said i will give thee two guin eas if thou wilt give over then the money was taken to the missionary meeting ontbe power of prayer mel- anchthon utterly discouragedwas pass ing along a place where children were heard praying and he came bock say ing brethren take courage the chil dren are praying for us nothing can stand before prayer an infidel came into a bible class to ask puzzling ques tions many of the neighbors came in to hear the discussion the infidel arose and said to the leader of the bible class i hear you allow questions asked oh yes said tbe leader but at the start let us kneel down and ask god to guide us i oh no said the infi del i did not come to pray came to discuss- but said the leader you will of course submit to our rule and that is always to begin with prayer the leader knelt in prayer and then arose and said to the infidel now you pray the infidel replied i cannot pray i have no god to pray to let me gol let me gol the spectators who expected fun found nothing hut overpowering solemnity and a revival started and among tho first who wore brought in was tbe infidel that pray er did it in all our lives there have been times when we felt that prayer was answered then let us say so there lingers on this side of the river that divides earth and heaven ready at any time to cross over tbe apostle of prayer for this century jeremiah calvin lanphier the founder of the fulton street prayer meeting and if ha should put on his spectacles andread this i salute him as more qualified than any man since bible times in demon- continental hemispheric and world wide you say a revival starts in heaven well it starts in heaven just as a prosperous harvest starts in heav en the sun must shine and the rains must descend but unless you plow and sow and cultivate the earth you will not raise a bushel of wheat or a peck of corn between now and the end of the world how then shall a univer sal revival start by all christian disappointments the worriments of people tolling the story of their own life be more irritable than they ought to be and they probably have faults which have become oppressive as the years go by but those eyes long be fore they took on spectacles were watching for your welfare and their hands not as smooth and much more deeply lined than once have done for you many a good days work life hr let the same outspokenness be em- ployed toward those by whom wo- have j been personally advantaged wo wait until they- are dead before we say so j your parents have planned for your best interests all these years they i may sometimes their nervous system used up by the cares the losses the in pulpits in mission stations in sab bath schools in unheard of placet who are doing their best for god and with out any recognition they go and come and no one cheers them per haps all the reward they get is harsh criticism or repulse or their own fatigue if you have- ever beard of any good they have done let them know about it if you find some one benefitted by their aims or their pray ers cr their cheering word go and tell them they may be almost ready to give up their mission they may be almost tn despair because of tbe seem ing lack of results one word from you may be an crdination that will start them on the chief work of their lifetime a christian woman said to her pastor my usefulness is done x do not know why my life is spared any longer because 1 can do no good then the pastor replied you do me great good every sabbath she ask ed how do i do you any good and he replied in the first place you are always in your seat in the church and thai helps me and in the second place you are always wide awake and alert looking right up into my face and that helps me and in the third place i often see tears running down your cheeks and that helps me what a good thing be did- not wait until she was dead before be said sol there are hundreds of ministers who have hard work to make sermons be cause no on expresses any apprecia tion they are afraid of making him vain the moment tbe benediction is pronounced they turn on their heels and go out feihaps it was a subject on which he had put especial pains he sought for the right text and then did his best to put the- old thought into some new shape he had prayed that it might go to the hearts of the people he had added to the argu ment the most vivid illustrations he could think of he had delivered all with a power that left him nervously exhausted fivo hundred people may have been blessed by it and resolved upon a higher life and nobler purposes yet all bo hears is the clank of the jew door or the- shuffling of feet in the aisle or some remark about tho wea ther the last resort of inanity why did not that man come up and say frankly you have done me goodl why did not some woman come up and say i shall go home to take up the burden of life more cheerfully why did not some professional man come up and say thank you dominie for that good advice l will take it god bless you why did they not tell him so i have known ministers in the nervous reaction that comes to some after the delivery of a sermon with no seeming result to go homo and roll on the floor in agony but to make up for this lack of out spoken religion there needs to be and will be a great day when amid the solemnities and grand ness of a listen ing i universe god will say so no statistics can state how many mothers have rocked cradles and hovered over mfantilo sickness and brought up their families

the peace make reparation of the gospel came into hi3 soul like in conjugal life the honeymoon is soon past and the twain take it for the dawn of the morning no percept ible difference between moment and moment but after awhile all pertur bation settled down into a hope that had consoled and strengthened him during all the vicissitudes of c life time i said that is exhilarating that was my experience and so i was strengthened in another prayer meeting a man got up and told us how he once hated god ind went through all the round of in iquity until wo were all on nettles lest he should go too much into the partic ulars but one day he was by some religious power hurled flat and then granted that each is thoroughly under stood how dependent on each other they become and the years go by and perhaps nothing is said to makc tho other fully understand that sense of dependence impatient words some times come forth and motives are misinterpreted and it is taken as a matter of course that the two will walk the path of life side by side until about the same time their journey shall be ended but some sudden and appalling illness unloosens the right hands that were clasped years before at the altar of orange blossoms the got up a christian and had ever since parting fakes place and among the been going around with a baxter bi- worst of all tho sorrow is that yon did r floating evangelist well under this story many are not helped at all for they know they never hated god and they wore never dissolute but after awhile some christian woman arises and says i have nothing extraor dinary to tell yet i think the cares of life the anxieties about my chil dren and two graves opened in our family plot made me feel the need of god and weak nnd helpless and heart broken i flung myself upon his mercy and i feel what the bible calls the peace ft god which passcth all un derstanding and i ask your prayers that i may live nearer to tho christ who has done so much for me i de clare that before that woman got through we were all crying not bitter tears but tears of joyful emotion and in three days in that neighborhood all the ice had gone out of the river in a springtime freshet of salvation let the redeemed of the lord say so i have but little interest in what people say alxnit religion as an abstrac tion but i have illimitable interest in tvhat people say about what they have personally felt of religion it was ex pression of his own gratitude for per sonal salvation which led charles wes ley after a season of great despond ency about his soul and christ bad spok

a wider range tho lord has hundreds of thousands of people among those who have never joined the army because of some high ideal of what a christian should be or because of a fear that they may not hold out or because of a spirit of procrastination they have never publicly- professed christ they have as much right to tbe sacraments and as much right to all the privileges of the church as thousands who have for years been carolled in church mem bership and yet they have made no positive utterance by which the world may know they love god and are on the road to heaven tbey are redeem ed
