We say Moses was a man meekness, but he was a leader of n t00, Jeremiah was a man of tears ,. i,e was a great advocate as well. Lon was a man of strength, but he u a great Judge at the same time, ,a We somehow have a way of re cmberlng people's failings and for ding their victories. We rarely think , gamson that we do not think of m tying the foxes' tails tog-ethers ,d starting them going with burning rands through tho enemies' corn Ids but we should remember the ,od 'things that Samson did. I remember one day holding up he re an audience a great piece of white tper and In the center of it was a adc spot. I said to my hearers,"What jyou see?" And instantly many ans eres, "A black spot." And I said to iera, "Why do you not speak- of the Mte which is here as well." And then told them that it was because men ere looking always for spots, and be mse they were blinded to the fact iat there was so much of good in en as well as evil. Outward Strength Falls !t would do us good to see the story ! Samson In the sixteenth chapter of jdges, especially noting verses eight, even, thirteen and -seventeen.' It as the time when Delilah was seek ij to find the secret of his power be luse she wanted to bind him and deliver him to his enemies, and he told her to bind him with gTeen with. This she did, and when the enemy came Samson snapped his bond as if they had been thread. Then he told her to bind him with a new cord and to weave his hair with the cord, and this she did, but when his enimles came to take him he broke the cords and was free. Then he told her to fasten him to a beam and she would surely have him, and when the enemy camevhe arose with beam and pin and walked away. All the time I can see him laughing to himself. At last he told her of his Nazarlte vow whiih be had taken, and of the fact that his hair was the sign of his vow, and thwt if his hair should be cut oft his strength would go with' It. And this she did when he fell asleep and when they came to take him he was powerless. ' "And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times be fore and shake myself. And he wist not that the Lord was departed from him. But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house." So many people in these days seem to think that they do not need Christ and they put oft accepting Him. They think they can fight their battles alone and win their victories without His help, but some day they will fail. When the crisis comes, temptation is strong and the night is dark, and your friends have forsaken you, and your brother is dead and your family circle is brok en, you will find that you stand alone, like Samson of old the Lord has de parted from you. ' Tho Text After his locks were .shorn the text became true of Samson. He was like a walking skeleton. His eyes were there, but he could not see as he once did. His mouth tooj but he could not speak as of old; his ears, but he could not hear the voice of God. He was like some Christian people whom I know. Sunday school teachers going through the form of teaching without power. Christian workers shorn of power, which into her days made them effective. Pastors using the same methods, and the same sermons, but while in other days they were wonder ful in their effectiveness, now they are powerless. These are all like Samson. See him stand there with the same muscles and bones, the same beating heart, but something gone. This is like many a Christian of today; be cause of sins committed in another city; because of secret sins which are encouraged, or greater sins which they have sought .to cover. A brakeman on a railroad in Se dalia. Mo., was bitten on one finger by Puts Another Face on It Many a man jauntily takes his cup or two of coffee at a meal and declares that coffee doesn't hurt him. , ' , But wait until the poisonous drug caffeine, In the coffee begins to show its cumulative effects, and puts a different face on the propo rtion. , It's a' fact anyone can verify, that caffeine hardens the arteries, brings on premature old are, and sallows and wrinkles the skin. Soma of the signs are headache. Irritability, biliousness, heart flutter, sleeplessness, dizziness, "fag," and so on. The way out is to quit coffee, and for a pleasant, healthful bev wtge use STAWT POffll the pure food-drink. This delightful beverage la made from finest wheat, roasted with bit of wholesome molasses. Looks and tastes like high grade Java, coffee, but contains no caffeine nor any other harmful substance. 1 Postum makes for health, happiness and vigor. "There's a Reason" IN tarantula. The one linger was taken off, but the poison of the bite spread, and there were 29 operations before he was safe. It was but a small sin in vour Ufa That small sin has grown until at last you are as Samson was, the Lord has departed from you. ' , Secret of His Failure 1. He trifled with his ndvemltv Ani. mal trainers say that if you desire to train a wild animal you hiust keep your eye upon him constantly. If you triflln the slighest degree with Sa tan there is danger. i. He ignored the strength of his adversity. A young girl in an eastern city passing along the streets, careless ly touched a wire hanging from a pole. It was a live wire. She could not release her grasp on it. She shrieked for help. He mother came to Msnm her, and was thrown down by the force oi tne electricity. Finally, the elec tricians came and cut the wire, and she was saved, nearer dead than alive. Thus we trifle with sin and. because we do we ure overthrown sometimes before we realise it. 8. The temptation came to Samson gradually. The binding with the gTeen with was the first step towards bond age. The cutting away of his hair, the sign of his Nazarlte vow was the last but the tempter wore him out, and at last he was weak as a child, "And he wist not that the Lord was depart ed from him." His Recovery He had a recovery, but he had the marks of sin upon him as well. He was blind and was in charge of a little boy who led him forth as if to make his humiliation the more complete, What a pathetic picture it is. The lords of the Philistines are present on a great occasion when Samson is called out to make sport for them. All eyes are turned upon him, and all the multitude gazes upon him in his humiliation. When Samson said to the lad, "Let me feel the pillars on which the house is standing, and then he prayed to God, asking Him Just once to let him have the old power back again, and suddenly it came. Pillars were drawn together; the house came crashing down, and Samson died with them, and the slain in his death were more than the slain in his life. You may regain your old power if you wish. God in His mercy will for give your wanderings and heal your backslidlngs, but the sad part of it all is this, that you will not be able your self to forget the pain and anguish of the years when you walked out of fellowship with Him. But I call you to day to return and He will have mercy; to confess your sins and He will for give; to seek, and He will pardon. ..-,Jt is a sad thing to be shorn of power with so many temptations on the other side of us, and sadder still rot to realize it until we face the crisis of life, ' Last Night On the subject "Regeneration," Dr. Chapman spoke, in part, last night as follows: Text: "Ye must be born again." John 3:7. I think there is no chapter in all the Bible with which we feel we are more familiar than the third chapter of St John. It may be becvi-" we find .in it the marvelous exprc:.:.i.in of God's love in the sixteenth verse. Luther once said it was the Gospel in a nutshell. Another distinguished preacher has declared that if you should take away from him all of the Old Testament and all of the New Testament and leave him only this text, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever belleveth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. he would know enough of the heart of God, and he would know enough of the plan of salvation, to be saved. Yet, to my mind, there Is no chap ter in all the Bible so difficult of ex planation. It is in this chapter that we have the thought of regeneration represented, and if I should say to you, "Give me a definition of regen eratlon," I question if many of my hearers could give a definition that would be satisfactory or plain to the man or woman who is seeking Jesus Christ. On the other hand, if you should say, "Give me an illustration of regeneration," ' I could do it easily. could tell you the story of the man who came into one of our services bound with sin and who, for months, has been free. This is the result of regeneration. I could tell you tho story of the woman who, at the begin nlng of . one of our missions, was hopeless and helpless, and who now is giving her testimony to the marvelous saving and keeping power of Jesus Christ. . L would ask you to listen to her friends, who say that she Is a changed woman, changed in her ex pression, in her manner of speech, so changed that she has become a new creature. That is regeneration. You wll notice that this text has a mar ginal reading, which says, "Verily, verily, I say unto you except a man be born from above,,' So when you say you have resolved to give up sin, that is not enough. When, you tell me that you have re solved never again to go in the war of iniquity, that Is not enough, even If you could keep the resolution. If cne Is to become a new creature, and overcome the power of the old slo, ad new tempatlon, he must be born from above, and that means to have Implanted in his nature a new force from above. It Is to have within himself a new life which la th life of God. It is to have a Saviour offer ed to and accepted by him. That la regeneration. Major Whittle once said in my church in Philadelphia, that when Jesus was here He filed a bill of ex ceptions. One count of that bill you find in Matthew II: "Verily I say unto you, except ye be converted and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven." There are those who say there is a distinction to be made between con version and regeneration; the say that conversation is your part of the work, and regeneration is God's part Conversation is putting yourself In the way. Regeneration is Qoa a doing the work in you. Conversation is say ing, "I wilt." Regeneration is God's breathing into you the breath of His own life. The second count in the bill Is re corded In Matthew J:I0, "Except your righteousness exceed the right ousnes of the scribes and Pharl laoos ye shall In no rase enter Into UosuUua ef heavea."

Indeed, there is no hope, and there is no open door. No man would dare to say that by his own efforts he could reach a standard of righteousness that would pass the Judgment of an infinite God. Then how are you going to be saved? I know how you may be saved, and I tell it to the man, who, up to this moment is without hope, and to the woman who is in despair. I tell It to the rich and to the poor. I convey the message to the outcast and to the respectable. "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved." For by faith, we are united to Christ, and His righteousness becomes our righteousness That Is the sure way j to be saved. Another count in the bill, the third, ! w find in the Gospel of St Luke 13:3, "Except ye repent, yo shall all; likewise perish." What is repentance? There are people who say repentance I Is sorrow for sin. Then all men re- pent, for there is surely not a man ; oouna Wltn a passion, nor a woman held with a sin, who has not had sor row for .sin. They may have said with hearts almost breaking. "O, that I might be saved!" but you must re member that that Is not repentance. There are those who say that re morse Is repentance, men all tne sinful people of tho city have repented, because day atter day walking tne streets, and night after night tossing restlessly upon their beds, they have said, "My God, my sin! my sin!" But that is not repentance.' Repentance is. In- a sense, sorrow for pin; it is the crushing effect of remorse on ac count of sin; but In addition to this it Is saying. "With God s help, I will turn away from sin." It is turning right-about-face, and looking unto Him. Then the other count in the bill Is the text above quoted, Verily, verily. say unto you, except a man be born again, he cannot see the king dom of God. I hear somebody say, "I cannot come to JCSUS. nnyi uocauae i have rto feeling." Put you never will have until you come. And, another person says, "I cannot come to Jesus." Why? And he answers, among other reasons, "Because the doctrine of the atonement seems to be so Impossible. Mav I say In conclusion that we come into the kingdom of Qod with different experiences. Borne men sob their way to Christ. Other men shout their way Into the kingdom. Rome men coma with all the calmness that la a part of their nature. I like the story of the gentleman in Philadel phia who, after hearing his minister preach, turned to tne man near mm, and said, "Sir. when will the officers of this church meet?' And the man said, "They will meet now, if you CHAPMAN TWO wish It." And the gentleman said, "Call them together." When the of ficers of the church came together, this gentlemsn, who was one of the greatest manufacturers In America.1 row before tbam to sav. "QenUeinen, for a long tlme I have believed in Jesus Christ, but I have never ac knowledge Him. Today when the minister was preaching I throught the time had come, and before you this morning I acknowledge Him as my Saviour." One of the offlrers moved that he be received into the church. Another seconed it. And that gen tleman walked out of the room a Christian, and kept on walking with Christ to the day of his death, a model Christian, You may come in from the east; you may approach from the north. But come. Waiting will not save you. Weeping will not save you. Working will not save you. Come. The danger Is this: You are very near the king dom so very pear. An upllftad hand, v!th the will to rise to yoir feet and your resolution not to yield would go In a flash. I once said to an American preacher In Orego, "How did you come to Christ?" and he said, "I was raised in a Christian home; my mother was a saint; my father a church officer, I was very near the kingdom, but I did not yield. One night I heard tho minister use this illustration, and it won me. He said, 'A gentleman with consumption left home for the mountains, and, as is ueual in our country with the people having this eoomplalnt who go to th mountains, his first days were days of real sufTerlrg. He became much dis couraged, and said, "I shall die if I stay here," and started home. " 'He sent a telegram to his home In the country, saying that he would ar rive by such a train. But a storm came on. The telegraph wires were ..own, and the train was delayed. His home was three miles from the coun try station. He Teached the station at midnight. No one knew of his coming, as the telegram was never de livered. The station was closed, and the lights were out. His house was the nearest to the railroad. There was only one thing for him to do. He must fight his way through the storm. Dying, through he was, he pushed his way through the ever Increasing snow drift until at Inst he saw a light In the window of his home. He passed through the gnte and staggered up the walk. Just ns ho reached tho step of the door, he fell upon his knees from falntness, and with his hand upon the step of the door, he died.' ". My friend told me that the minister turned to his congregation and said, "There Is some young mnn in this building with his hand upon the step of the door. Some day the door will shut." And my friend said, "I rose from my pew, and hurried home to my father, and drop ping on my knees by his side. I said, 'I will yield, I will yield. I accept Christ now.' " I urge you not to tarry and plead with you not to be too late. "Almost is but to fail, Almost cannot avail. Sad, sad that bitter wail, Almost, but lost!"
