THE ASliEVrLUE DAILY CITIZEN. Tuesday Evening, July 18, 1893. PARABLEOFTIIE PRODIGAL AROUND TOWN. UK WIUBTOVH HliUMO.N At" THE 1'IIIHT UAPTIST. The Divine Prectae Fr' Te Familiar Text To Crowdcil Church noudav Biruiuit Bltsuv I-trMOHH Auk For Pruer. The sccoikL cvctiinji's service at the First Baptist church last cvtrniiiK saw every ijcw crowded in auditorium and gallery, and, judging from the interest being awakened in the services, even this large edifice will be tillable to bold the crowds that flock to bear the powerful sermons and the splendid singinc- On the platform with Ir. Whaitou were kevs. II. 1 Clireilzbcrj;, L. 11. Kalilwm and J. L. White. The Doctor iirenched from the familiar parable ot the Prodigal Son, from the text : And when he 'whiu)tou,July tS FotcamL till & p.m. Wednesday: I'robahly local show ers today or tonight, (oftmio tug weather; winds sli:rtin erly; slightly cooler. hv clcur- to north TUH MARKETS.

I have siiiucil ii.iiiist hoiren nil before thee. And am no more worthy to be e tiled thy son; make me an one ul thy hiie'i servants And he arose anil came to r is lather. Hut when he was vet a ureat wuv oil Ins lather saw him and had eomi'assion, un ran and Ml m his neck and kissed hint. Luke 15:1 7-HO. "All who have read the storv of the 1'iodigal," saitl Pr. Wharton, "have compared him with the man who lives a life of sin. I believe it is suited to all of us. 'All we like sheep have ooneastiav.' The parable is a looking glass held up to nature. It means every one ol us. Thank God some of us are trying t uci back to our Father's home. And thank God the doors are always open. "Fverybody will say that that man who wanders about in this world is a fool for not accenting Jesus. A kinj: once pinned a leather badge on the court jtstcr. with the remark that the jestei was the biuKt-st fool be, the King, had ever seen; ami asked that the incdiil be ti anslci red if the jester ever (omul a man who was a bigger tool than be was. When the king lav living the jester came to his bedside and asked if his master wus going into eternity. 'Yes,' was the reply. 'Are vou readv ? asked the jester. 'No.' 'Then, "master, take this badge; votTre a bigger fool than I am, if you have lived this long and are not ready to pass into eternity.' Everybody will say that a man who goes through the world without preparing lor eternity is a fool. What we all want is to think. Some neoivle never think till thev are tl it ol their backs sick. "At the asie of 1!J I bad tnv law office. but a lawver without a case, because ol mv dissioatioil. 1 had bail good DioS- iKTts. Finallv the thought of my mother's Savior came to inc. 1 got down on niv knees and alter a wliik I'.ucl took me to his heart. I'll tell you, thei iu mure iitv in an hour's service lor God than o lifetime for the dcvl. "I think there is a fine piece ol saicasm in this nnrable. where it savs 'and the arose a famine in the land. ' There always is a famine when you gel of money did vou ever notice it ? Everybody is out ol money. You ask a man for a small loan and he will say, 'Well, I would like to let vou have it, but I haven't got it.' So the Prodigal bail to go to lceding hogs, lie was a Jew, ami if there is ativthing a Jew bales it is a bog. Itut alter awhile he said. '1 will arise and go to my father.' h, my good man, wont you do that? 1 lo w ma n v ol our resolu tions are broken! Whv.it would take a four-horse team to pull the resolutions some of us have made ami br ken in out lives. Now, to keep a resolution you must take God into partnership with yti. The young man of the text lived nil to bis resolution. Perhaps some ol his friends called Inn a coward. I would rather be called a coward in the Lord's cause than to be the bravest mau on earth if not in His cause. Sonic men tell a young Christian that be is 'lied to his mother's apron strings.' When the heavens shall unroll as a scroll and God shall call us to Ilim, 1 would rather be tied to mv mother's apron strings than to lie anywhere else. 1 imagine the Prodigal's" iriends told him, 'You smell like hogs.' Well, you've seen men who were so close to" the devil thai thev smellcd like sulphur. "lesus does not want vou to wait to natch up vour clothes. He wants you just as vou are. That is the way to go to Christ, and He will not turn you away. The trouble with you is, you don't think vou are a sinner. "When I was 17 years old 1 went to Mexico. Father knew my habits and lugged me not to go. Soon after 1 got there I found mvseif hoeing corn at ."! cents a day. And it seemed to me those were the longest rows 1 ever saw. The government gave me some land, which I sold for $1 an acre and went home, where I was gladly welcomed by my lather, and where for six weeks my life hung in the balance as I suffered from disease contracted in Mexico. Thank God, my fatlvr lived to bear me preach the Word from the ouhiit at the old home. "( ur I'alhcr says 'Come and 1 will re ceive.' He will receive vou. 1 know it." At the close of the sermon a number ol persons asked for prnvcr in their behalf. Din ini? the sermon Ir. Wharton said Asheville ami the surrounding country was the prettiest spot he bad ever seen. He had iust written a letter to bis home, saving that old Luray, in Yirginia, would have to take a back seat. The ttervlce Today. The attendance upon the service this inorninur was a large increase over yes terday. Dr. Wharton spoke on "A Wo man's Faith and a Mother's Praver.' At the close mothers ami wives and Bis ters pressed to the pulpit requesting praver for loved ones. It was an affect um" scene. Those noble women stood nctnini!. while L)r. Wharton offered tender prayer that tlod would save their husbands, sons ana orouicrs. ulnrious meeting. Tomorrow morning Dr. Wharton's subieet will be "The Christian's Wealth. The service liegins at 10 and closes promptly at 11 o'clock. Why will not the business men close stores and offices for one hour anil everyone attend these meet inns? Dr. Wharton is a great preacher, a i.ian full of the Holy Such congregational sinning heard in Asheville. This evening lr.
