Mr. Stuart in Attendance A Congre gation Estimated at 4,000 Persons' Present. '' ;l . -. , - . At the hour for t'ne opening: of the services at the Tabernacle yesterday morning the heavens' were ?still over spread with clouds, and th$ keen north wind imprinted a kiss on every cheek, but there was no rain and another large audience assembled. ; Before the exer cises Were closed, however, the genial rays of the sun burst through and dis pelled the threatening clouds and tem pered the atmosphere, giving promise of better days to come. ; - . ! Promptly at eleven o'clock Mr Jones made his appearance, accompanied by Rev. G. M. Stuart,5 and - the smiles bf kindly recognition which greeted the latter attested the high esteem in which he is held, and that his faithful gospel preaching last year had not failed fn ap preciation. . - " In a few preliminary remarks Mr. Jones Spoke of the open condition of the building and the importance of coming to service warmly clad, "That's common', sense," he said;"if you think it will be j for only a short ; while and , you won't run much risk in coming without a heavy wrap, some of vou will have pneu monia, and some the grip, and some the sweeny, ana l aon t Know wnat an. There's nothing grace to keep a man sober if he sticks to the bottle; grace or no grace he'll toppler that's-common sense, and if you haven't got heavy wraps don't come. I have found no place in the Bible where a man is advised to act out of the line of common sense. "Up to this time," he said, "my efforts have been" to get the good better; we need that the worst of anything else. I believe when, we get the good better' we will get the bad good; we want to preach Christians up to where they ought .to have been. "I will now take for the foundation of my remarks tne rworas: 'Ana maice straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out Othe way; but ; let it rather be healed. Follow peaee with all men, and holiness, with out which no man shall see the Lord.' Hebrews 12: 13. 14. "Paul wrote many things hard to be understood, and there are many denom inational differences many sectarian views which differ widely all drawn from what Paul wrote; but laying aside these denominational differences all agree on some things Paul said. The text is one point: "Make straight paths for your feet. All agree that one of the best things a man can do is to come to a fixed, unalterable conclusion that there are some things he will do, and some things he won't do. I will find out what is right . and do that, and 111 find out what is wrong and won't do that. If every church member would do that he would do what the text means. Right- eous-ness, straight-edgeness; going right is going straight, and going straight is right. The trouble is three-fourths of the church members are trying to ' take 'nigh cuts' on a straight road which is about as foolish a thing as a man can do,' they try to dodge the prayer-meet ing, and dodge the family worship, and think they are taking nigh cuts.' "Christianity is a pure, simple matter of a choice between. two or more things; it is "choosing rather to suffer afflictions with the people of God than to fenjoy the pleasures of season,, ' Look the field over, ' survey the surrounding in fluences and deliberately choose the right and eschew the wrong and ! you make straight paths forour feet. l "There is entirely too much indiffer ence in "Christian lives. A great many sav. 'I don't know " what " I'd do under those circumstances," some say, of the. two evils iil choose the less,' and some say, 'I won't take sides at all , for fear I get on the wrong side,' and ;.that sort of matter is about to ruin the. whole, busi ness. The-minute si religious commu nity or a church ' compromises ' the field where the question of two evils comes up, that- minute the devil7 comes 5 in and takes the field ; when too evils come up and you -choose the less, .the devil takes you. ,-We , want Christians to get where they will choose the right and do the right. . The Church has too manydidn't go to do its' and 'go not to do its' tnat's the difference between the Christian and the .back slider : one 'didn't go to do it' land the other didn't 'go not to do it like a a fellow who says he would n't have done so and so but somebody 'persuaded him. ' Vhy didn't he do like the old darker who said his mule wouldn't go and he tried all sorts of ways to move him. and finally he lust 'took a stick and suaded him a little?; The fellow ought to be 'suaded'. too; that's the way. to settle with the devil take a stick and 'suade' : hiirt. - r0 "te yirl:, . y. - "Settle the question once for all, so it can 'never b' re-opened again: What ever there is In this world that is right I'll do, and whatever there is wrong. I won't do. -Think the matter over; I be lieve nine-tenths of our wishy-washy Christians are attributable to the fact that they don't think. : No ; man can Star, think rationally," coherently.on ,a propo sition in which heaven and hell are in volved but he will realize it is best to choose the right; but you cin't do much with a man who won't think; you can't do much with a giddy girl or boy who won't think.- I believe in starting' a man to 'heaven head foremost; 1mt l some of .these giddy girls and : boys be lieve In trying to go - feet foremost. In Chattanooga I saw where they had been fixing a street;" they had cut little white oak saplings and driven them down with thelittjeend in the ground to hold up the dirt, and those little saplings had Bctually sprouted from .the bottom and the sprouts turned up the wrong way. That's the ' way with these -little ball room bucks, they're sprouted at the toes and growing up the wrong way! ' "I believe the only way to go to heaven is right side up with care. Think out the right line and the wrong line, and haying thought out the right line you have got a straight path for your feet, I wjsh it was always true that a man could never get out of the straight path. "I believe in the possibility of apos- jacy more than the fact of it. I met a man some time ago who told me he was converted at one of my meetings and enj yed religion ? two years but he had got a 'little off.' I thought he smelt, like it; he was 'off' bad. He said Brp;; . Jones, ; ,1 believe the Lord never half does his work.' 11 he had been sober enough I'dhave told him he ' . -V-' - - ' ----- . --; was a specimen, tor be was a hall job. He said, ""Don't the Bible say that things present, nor things : to come nor heights, nor depths, nor any other Crea ture, shall be able to separate me from the love of God.' I said, of course it does; but. don't you know that God loved you before you was converted. He loved you after you was converted. He loved you sober, and He loves you drunk.' and. He will love you in hell; you are not and never will be separated from the love of God. ' I believe God loves men in hell as much as men on earth. If the Bible teaches anything it is the Fatherhood and Motherhood of God, and if you'll find me the place where a mother gives up her . child 111 show you where God gives up His chil dren, I go further, for when my father and my -mother forsake me, then the Lord will take ne up. Nothing can separate us from the love of God. He loves us always, that is my what you call it diagnosis exegesis. . I believe it whether you do or not. ' ''Christ Jesusxame into the world to destroy the works of the devil and He can't dc it without the co-operation of the individuals on whom the good Spirit has worked. "A preacher a . man of sense, fine large sense told me that he could make 'nubbins' without the Lord to help him plough. You all know what a 'nubbin' is; a little short, imperfect ear of corn. Well, that is what you've got in a good many of your churches nubbins. A nubbin is an abnormal growth and shows that somebody hasn't done their duty, either the plowing was neglected or the Lord didn't rain on it, but when you see an ear about so long (measuring about twelve inches on his arm) you may know it took both God and man to make that. "Brother Teele, how- many wearof corn that long in your church?" (Bro. Peele replied, "About a half a do2en, I reckoru") , ' . , ' Well, you ought to raise good corn right on the banks of the river. Nub bins! Nubbins! Every time I say it it seems like some fellowjumpa just like I was calling his name. ' "A poof -sinner saved by - grace. I expect every pastor has some of those eood old brethren who never did fanything,- and- are 'singing "by and by we'll go home and rest under the shade of the trees.' rGoing- to . rest! Now ain't you tired ? : Suppose, we fol low one of these old fellows who neyer did anything lor the Lord when he dies.' Let's call all the angels together to bear him upward.tbe pearly gates sweep open a crown of glory is placed on h is head, a harp of gold is' put in his hand and he is placed un der the shade of the. trees to' rest, while all heaven is rejoicing at his coming It's a plumb farce on God's universe. -"Bro. Swindell, how many in your distriefneed rest ? How many did you see on - your last- round- with their tongues lolling out, broke down in the service ; of the Master ? : Some people have got the idea that heaven is a. sort of rendezvous for all the dead beats on earth; I believe it is peopled with heroes and heroines,' and it is the 'Well done good and faithful servant' that unlocks tne !gates or gipry? "You'll, hear a .-man say, 'I've been a member of the church thirty years," and never was turned put.' No"; an old horse , may " die in , your field, and you can't , turn him. but, you may take the whole fence down and he's still there. ; ; "Dead church members! Don't, want any forwardmovement, don't want any -enthusiasm. The sooner men wake up and make straight paths for their feet, and stick f to the right, the sooner will pastors stop devoting their time to set tling differences between church-members, and with united forces we will raise the black flag against the devil and take the world for Christ. There are many WHOLE NO. 7.730 heavy-hearted pastors in this world; some of their 'most ; principalist mem bers mad with each other. If he shoots one way or the other he will hurt, and if . he -shoots straight he'll kill 'em all! A preacher Hold me that on one occasion he preached a very pla in searching sermon with no personal ref erence to anyBody. ' The next week a prominentmember came to him and said, 'Sir, you can take my name off the church book; when the time comes that my pastor personates me and holds me up to public ridicule,- it is time for me to leave the church.' N The preacher granted his requested . without asking any questions. The next week another member made the same demand for the same reason. A tew days after a third party told him of a difference between those two men;'"- qf which he knew nothing at the time the sermon was preached. This third party went to these two men, told them their pastor knew r nothing of their difficulty, and they said if that was true they would be reconciled to each other and to the church, for it must have been God preaching to them. Its like the Dutch man who lived in the country and the preacher rode up arid . asked how far is it to White Oak Church? The Dutch- man said, 'Oh, are you the new preach er?' and called to Johnnie to catch the nag and go .with him; 'and, he said. 'you come back with Johnnie and preach at my house to-night.' The preacher did as requested, and after supper a good crowd came in and he hadn't been preach ing more than fifteen minutes before the Dutchman jumped up and -cried, has you and Johnnie been confabin' about me to-day ?' The minister re plied, 'no, we have not said one word about you.' The Dutchman said, 'veil. if it ish the good Lord preachin' to me I'll take it. but if ion and Johnnie are confabin' about me I'll raise de devil.' How I would like to see all our paths straight and all of us going the same way; all we would have to do then would be to keep step. I have often thought when walking on Broadway how much easier it would be if all the people were going the same vy. The trouble in Wilmington is two-thirds want to go the other way. If we could turn them around the other way hnw easy it would be to keepstep,into the kingdom; but as it is its a hard road to travel, . "And -follow holiness, without no man can seethe Lord. No expression in the Bible ever fell upon my heart with such a thud, lets tase a common sense view of holiness. We must get the cen tral idea of everything to understand it If the cental idea of my watch was the case, or tne crystal, or tne ngures, i would not give three cents for it, but when you tell me that the central idea of that watch is time, and every wheel and cog concerned in that time, itTis worth to me all I gave - for it. Suppose the central idea of religion was taking the sacrament, or being baptized, or going to churchy or giving $200 per year you would dwarf the church into the most insignificant thing in the world. The central idea ot religion is Holiniss to the Lord. Taking the sacrament is but one of the cogs i a the wheels ; bliness is the main spring of religion. "And I tell you I'm careful who I get to tinker on my watch; I don t take it to a blacksmith. Too many of you . go to the wrong tinkers. A sister says Mrs. So-and-so said it's ho harm to dance.' Bless you, sis, you ve gone to the wrong worRman; -take your time to headquarters. The machinery of my watch is so delicate I could break it with a straw; but ten .thousand times more delicate is my soul, 'and I don't want any being in the universe to touch it but. the God who made it; He will make it beat in time with holiness. "Blessed be God, we know His touch. Like. . the poor wounded boy, carried from the battle-field and his mother telegraphed for. She came',' but the doctor says, 'You must not enter the room; the nervous excitement produced by a sight of you would T kill the boy.' AH night she paced the floor and lis tened to his moans and cries of pain When the doctor went to breakfast she stepped to theloor and peeping in.-saw the nurse' sitting there, and the boy, his face to the wall, .in a semi-unconscious sleep. -At times his limbs would twitih and then a convulsive spasm of pain go over his whole frame. She slipped in and just like a mother latd her hand on his head and then gently stroked it. As she did every quiver of his body passed away and fie said, without looking, 'Oh. nurse, how like my mother's hand !' The soul knows the touch of God and it lulls it into a peace and joy the world can never-give, and puts it in time and harmony with heaven. . Lord touch our souls, and when the quiet comes may we be able to say how like my Father's handl jesus. Master, set us in perfect time with holiness this morning. If I was asked what is holiness I would say, it is when the Lord takes a. soul , and sets the ten commandments to music and puts that soul in harmony with heaven, so that when the hand of the Divine Master touches the strings 'the music will be llkefi unto' the harmonies of the skies."
