That discourse of exhorta- Lon may be born in the country meet- inc: house on the banks ot the St. Law- n~nce or the Oregon or the Ohio or the 'l‘um'oigbee or the Alabama. The per- sun who shall deliver it may this mo- ment be in a cradle under the shadow of the Sierra Nevadas or in a New England farm house or amid the rice “this ot southern savannas. or this mo- tttcut there may be some young man in um- of our theological seminaries in the junior or middle or senior class, shap- ing that weapon ot power, or there may be coming some new baptism of tire. Holy Ghost on the churches, so that some ot us who now stand in the watch towers of Zion. waking to a realisation ot our present inetticiency, may preach it ourselves. That coming discourse may not be 'i9 years on. And let us pray God that its arrival may be hastened while I announce to you what I think will be the chief charac- teristics of that discourse or exhorte- tion when it does arrive, and. I want. to make my remarks appropriate and suggestive to all classes‘ ot Christian workers. First of all, I remark that that future tic technicalities. A fall of Christ thong} my his name. and I cmDIY ot Christ wh tlol heaven. a. poor man's Christ, a rich “man's Christ, an overworked man’s‘ (“m-1st, an invalid's Christ. 3. farmer's, Christ, " merchant's Christ. an anti-l sun's i‘hrist. an every man's Christ. l That sermon or exhortation of the) future will not deal with men m the threadbare illustrations of Jesus Christ. In that coming address there will be in- stances ot vicarious suffering taken right out of everyday life, tor there is not a. Jay when somebody is not dying for others-as the physician saving his diphtheritic patient by tsatittiehur his own life; as the ship captain going down with his vessel while he is get-' ting his passengers into the lifeboat; as the tlreman consuming in the burn- ing building while he is taking a child out ot the fourth story window; as in summer the strong swimmer at East Hampton or Long Branch or Cape May or Lake George himselt perished while trying to save the drowning; as the newspaper boy, one summer, support- ing his mother tor some years, his in- valid mother, when offered by a gen- tleman 50 cents to get some special paper. and he trot it, and rushed up in his anxiety to deliver it and was crush- ed under the wheels of the train and luv on the grass with only strength enough to say. "Oh, what will become of my poor sick mother now'.'" Vicari- ous sutt'er'mg--the world is full or it. An engineer said to me on a. locomotive in Dakota: "We men seem to be com- ing to. better appreciation than we used to. Did you see that account the other any ot the engineer who to save his passengers stuck to his place. and when he was found dead in the locomotive. which was upside down. he was found still smiling, his hand on the air- "rake?" And as the engineer said it to m..- he put his hand on the airbrake to illustrate his meaning. and I looked at him and thought. "You would be Just as mum a hero in the some crisis.” A German sculptor made an image of I‘hrist. and he asked his little child. two years old, what it was, and s".ne. said, “That must be some very gl‘r-tlt man." The sculptor was dis- pleased with the criticism. so he got another block of marble and chiseled away on it two or three years. and then he brought in his little child, four or tire years ot age, and said to her, "Who do you think that is?” She said, "That must be the one who took little children in His arms and blessed them." Then the sculptor was satis- thyd.

While I was seated on the piazza ot otel at Lexington.

Jonathan Edwards ..1cd the sermon moat adapted to lg» in which he lived. but it these tons were preached now they would le an audience into two clattset5- e sound asleep, and‘those wanting l r t all, I remark that that future diseourse will be full ot a liv- ',t in contradist"mction to didac- icallties. A discourse may be Paris: though ttardlrmention- nal sys- st who 1nd con- lifc and , a rich man's farmer's an art:- my Be mence world would say. "Good for him." I would rather be sympathetic, like Paul, and resuscitate him. That accident is often quoted now in religious circles as '8 warning against somnolence in church; it is Just as much a warning to ruin- isters against proiixity. Eutychus was wrong in his aomnoienee, but Paul made a. mistake when he kept on ttttttt midnight. He ought to have atom at eleven o'e1ook, and there would have been no accident. If Paul might have gone on to too great length, letuttl those ot us who are now preaching the gospel remember that there is a limit to religious discourse, or ought to be, and that in our time we have no apos- tolic power; of miracles. Napoleon in an address of seven minutes thrilled his army and thrilled Europe. "Mia’s sermon on the .mount, the model ser- mon, was less than eighteen minutes long \at ordinary mode of delivery. It is not electricity scattered all aur'l' the sky that strikes, but electricity gath- ered into a thunderbolt and hurled. and it is not religious truth Scattered over and spread out over a vast reach ot time, but religious truth protrstcd in compact form that flashes light upon the soul and rives its indifference. When the religious discourse of the future arrives in this land. and in the Christian church, the discourse which is to arouse the world and startle the nations and usher in the kingdom, it will be a. brief discourse. Hear it, all theological students. all ye men and women who in Sabbath schools and other departments are toilintrfor Christ and the salvation of immortals--brevity, brevity. But I remark also that the religi- ous discourse of the future of which I speak will be a popular dis- course. There are those in these times that speak of a. popular sermon as though there must be some- thing wrong‘ about it. As these critics are dull themselves, the world gets the impression that a sermon is good in proportion as it is stupid. Christ was the most popular preacher the world ever saw, and, considering the small number of the world's pop- ulation. had the largest audience ever gathered. He never preached any- where without mains a great sensa- tion. People rushed. out in the wil- derness to hear Him, reckless ot their physical necessities. So great was their anxiety to hear Christ that, tak- ing no food with them, they woul.d have fainted and starved had not Christ performed) miracle and fed them. Why did so many people take the truth at Christ's hands? Because they all understood it. He illustrated his subject by a. hen and her chickens. by a bushel measure, by a handful of salt, by a bird's ttight. and by a lily's aroma. All the people knew what He meant, and they tioeked to Him. And when the religious discourse of the future appears it will not be Prince- tonian,' not Itochesterian, not Ando- verlan, not Middletonlan. but Olivetic --plain, practical, unique, earnest. comprehensive ot all the woes, wants, sins and sorrows ot an auditory. But when that exhortation or dig- course docs come there will be a thou- sand gleaming scimeters to charge on it. There are in so many theological seminaries professors telling young men how to preach, themselves not knowing how, and I am told that if a young man in some of our theological seminaries says anything quaint or thrilling or unique’ faculty and stu- dents tly at him and set him right and straighten him out and smooth him down and chop him off until he says everything just as everybody else says it. Oh, when the future religious discourse of the Christian church ar- rives all the churches of Christ in our great cities will be throngedi . A mother with a dead babe in her arms came to the good Siva. and ask- ed to have her child restored to life. The good Siva said to her, "You go and get ahandful ot mustard seed from a house in which there has been no sorrow and in which there has been no death and I will restore your child to life." Bo the mother went out, and she went from house to house and from home to home looking for a place where there had been no Bor- row and where there had been no death. but she found none. She went back to the good Siva and said: "My mission is a. failure. You see I haven't brought the mustard seed. I can't tInd a place where there has been no sorrow and no death." "Oh'." says the good Siva. “Understand. your sorrows are no worse than the sor- rows of others. We all have our griefs and all have our heartbreaks." We hear a great deal of discussion now all over the land about why peo- ole do not go to church. Some say It is because Christianity 15 dying out, and because people do not believe in the truth of God's word, and all that. They are false reasons. The reason ls because our sermons and exhortations are not interesting and practical and helpful. Some one might as well tell the whole truth an thls subject. and so For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth; But has trouble-enough ot its own. Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep and you weep alone: There are in all our denominations ecclesiastical mummies sitting around to frown upon the fresh young pulpit: ot America. to try to awe them down. to cry out: "Tut, tut. tut'. Sensational'." They stand to-day preaching in churches that hold a thousand people, and their are a hundred persons pres- ent. and it they cannot have the world saved in their way it seems as it they do not want it saved at all. I will tell it. The religious discourse of the futIre, the gospel sermon to come forth and shake the nations and lift people out ot darkness. will be a. popu- lar sermon. just for the simple reason that it will meet the woes and the wants and the anxieties ot the people. That religious discourse of the future will be an everyday sermon. going right down into every man's lite, and it will reach him how to vote, how to bargain. how to plow, how to do any work he is called to do, how to wield trowel and pen and pencil and yardstick and plane. And it will teach women how to preside over their household and how to edu- cate their children and how. to imitate Miriam and Esther and Vashtl and Eunice, the mother ot Timothy. and Mary. the mother of Christ. and those women who on northern and southern battlefields were mistaken by the wounded tor angels of mercy fresh from the throne of God. A l __ .. . Yes. I have to tell you. the religious discourse of the future will be a report- ed sermon. If you have any idea that printing was invented simply to print secular books and stenography and phonography were contrived merely to set forth secular idea, you are mis- taken. The printing preu is to be the great agency of gospel proettunation. It is high time that good men, instead of denouncing the prime. employ it to ggatter forth the gospel pt Jena: Christ. Bo I cannot understand the amoun- ness of some of my brethremdf the ministry. When. theysee a newspaper man coming in, they Bar. "Altus, there is a reporter'." Every added reporter is 10,000, 50.000, 100,000 meortal souls added to the auditory. sThe time will come when all the village, town and city nemapers._ will reproduce the gospel of Jesus Christ. and sermons preached on the Sabbath will reverber- ate all around, the world, and, some by type and some by voice, all nations will; be evtuurelitted. The vast majority ot people in our eit- iea do not come to church, and nothing but the printed sermon can reach them. and call them to pardon and late and peace and heaven. The practical bearing of this is upon those whom-e engaged un Christlpn work, not only upon theological stud- ems and young ministers, but upon all who preach the gospel and all who ex- hort in meetings and all of you if you are doing your duty. Do you exhort in prayer meetings? Be short and splrit- ed. T Do you teach in Bible class? Though you have to, study every night. be interesting. Do you accost people on the subject ot religion in their homes or .in public places? Study adroitness and bommon sense. A dying Christian took out his watch } and gave it to a friend and said: "Take that watch. I have no more use for it. Time is at an end tor me, and eternity begins." on. my friends. when our' watch has ticked away tor us the last moment and our clock has. struck for .us the last hour, may " be found we did our work well, that we did It in the very best way, and whether we breached the gospel in public, or taught Sabbath classes. or administered to the sick as physicians. or bargained as merchants, or pleaded the law as at- torneys, or were busy as artisans or husbandmen or as mechanics, or were, like Martha, called to give a meal to a hungry Christ, or like Hannah, to make a coat for a prophet, or like De- borah, to rouse the courage of some; timid liarak in the Lord's ctMtlct, we did our work in such a way that it will stand the test of the judgment! And in the long procession of the redeemed that march around the throne may it be found that there are many there ibrought to God through our instru- mentality, and in whose rescue we exult. Hut let none of us who are still unsaved. wait for that religious dis- course ot the future. It may come after our obsequics. It may come after the stunecutter has chiseled our name on the slab 50 years Before. Do not wait for a great steamer of the Cun- ard or White Star line to take you oft the wreck. but hail the first craft, with however low a mast and however small a hulk and however poor a rud- der, and however weak a captain. Bet- ter a disabled Schooner that comes up in time than a full rigged brig that comes up after you have Bunk. Instead of waiting for that religious dismurse of the future (it may be 40, 50 years off). take this‘plain invitation of a man who to have given you spirit- ual eyesight would besglad to be called the spittle by the hand of Christ put on the eyes of a blind man and who would consider the highest compliment of this service if, at the close, 500 men should start from these doors saying: rivcr/eih'Gri/e Se Va. sinner or no, I know not. This one thing I know-whereas I was blind, now I see." M . . Swifter than shadows over the plain. quicker than birds in their autumnal tlight, hustler than eagles to their prey. hie you to a sympathetic Christ. The orchestras of heaven have strung their instruments to celebrate your rescue.

When the Jews fell into' this sln they said by their actions that they had left God out of their lives entirely. It seemed most strange that after the long years of captivity and the struggle to re- build the temple and city wall, that 5E?! the peopie should Io - lapse Into ouch [rose “as. (he utter another of the direct command- or lawn of God were broken. It had been but eighteen {cars since the great neth- eang of t e peopie to hear the public reading of the Scriptures. at whirh tune they placed themselves under covenant to keep the law, bring ttthes and observe the set ceremon- les of their religion. Yet, at the first opportunity. they seemed ready to- receive the-evil that was waiting for their welcome. Shun“! reform. Nehemiah paved the way tor this by cleansing the tango. driving Toblah from his test red nest, and putting his goods out often-him. Then he called for the Levine. who had been driven tolself- support. and put then: again in their sacred offices and prepared for the worship of the temple. Then, lest no time ehouid be given for prepara- tion ol the Sabbath, liehemiah ordered the city gates cioseL a little earlier than usual. He would make it harder to disobey God. and thus hope to tarn their attention to reiigion. Bur- cess did not come at once, nor with- out some emphatic measures. It the people would recall the firmness of Nehemiah in his former dealings with heathen enemies, they might well con- clude that no trifling would now be tolerated. It was business, and right/e- ous business. It was for God and for the good of His people. All their forni- er history had shown that no man prospers who fights against God. LEADING WHEAT MARKETS.
