Dr. Wharton Preaches From the
Text "Wuat Thliilc You of
Christ T"" A Picnic In Pales
llne" This) ICvetlllijt
With all its spaciousness, the First
Uaptist church proved much too small for
the congregation that gathered there
last evening. At 8:15 the pews bad
been filled, something unusual at that
hour. Then the pack begau. Chairs
and benches were put in the aisles, along
the walls and wherever room could be
found for them. An extra row was
placed in the choir room, and several
on the pulpit, even, and every step to the
pulpit was crowded. The gallery was
in a like condition, and then people
turned away because it was impossible
for tlictn to be accommodated. The
church has been lull oft before, but never
nearly so full as on this pari icular oc
casion. It was the time for Dr. II. M. Wharton,
the Baltimore evangelist, to preach the
last sermon of the revival he lias been
conducting at this church for two
weeks. The meeting has not been con
sign of fatigue. That his labors here
have been greatly blessed is known by
everybody in Asheville. His manner is
wonderfully easy and persuasive, and
one great secret of his successful work is
his way of speaking so that the hearer
thinks the preacher is talking to him
individually instead ot to the eutire con
gregation. His sermons have been list
ened to by vcrv large audiences on every
occasion, not even inclement weather
keeping the people away. Dr. Wharton
is a great and good man and Pastor J.
L. White spoke the sentiments of the
good people of Asheville when lie said
last evening that he hoped Dr. Wharton
would be able to return to Asbcviltc.
The members of the Baptist church as
well as the congregations that have
heard Dr. Wharton deeply auprcciate the
services of Mr. and Mrs. Field, who have
led the congregational singing. This
has been a feature, and an enjoyable one,
of the meetings. Mr. Field is connected
with the business management of the
Baltimore Manufacturers' Record and
this trip to Asheville was bis summer
vacation.
Dr. Wharton and Mr. and Mrs. Field
will leave tomorrow afternoon for their
homes in Baltimore, where the good
wishes of the people of Asheville lollow
them.

A Picnic lu Palestine."
Dr. Wharton will lecture at the First
Baptist church this evening at 8:30, his
subject being "A picnic in Palestine." Dr.
Wharton made a trip through the Holy
Land in 1801. and at this lecture he will
tell in his own entertaining stvlc of the
impressions made upon his mind by
what he saw on the trip. Dr. Wharton
has had great success as a lecturer ns
well as a preacher, and all who go this
evening arc sure of hearing something
that will lie highly entertaining. The
price of admission is only 25 cents and
the church should be crowded.
A Want ot Public Confidence the

Louie One,
Washington, luly 31. Ex-Speaker
Crisp arrived in Washington.lastcveniug
from Georgia and took up his old quar
ters at the Metropolitan hotel.
When asked whether the prevailing
financial distrust was due to the exist
euce of the Sherman law. Crisp ; replied
that it was certainly due to the want
of public confidence, but rxactly what
caused that condition he was not pre
pared to say. Crisp is not inclined to
talk freely on the pr orbility tt the re
peal ol Sherman law. 1 ne bare
ducstion ot the repeal could haruiy, Air.
Crisp thought, be considered alone, for
while it was true that the democratic
party was opposed to the law and de
manded its repeal in the platform it was
not known to what extent the conditions
would be insisted upon
Mr. Crisp could not sav he stood upon
the proposition for free coinage of
American silver at an increased ratio
One of the things Mr. Crisp was con
fident of, was that the coming
session would not be a briet one.

denominations were closed last evening
in order to give all an opportunity to
attend the closing of the revival.
On the platform with Dr. Wharton,
besides Mr. and Mrs. Field, were Revs.
J. L. White, R. F. Campbell, L. H. Bald
win, W. 1'. Southern and J. Q.. Adams.
Mr. White announced that Dr. Wharton
would lecture in the church this evening
on "A Ficnic in '"alcstinc," and then the
Doctor made a kind of '"good-bye" talk
to those witn wuom he Had come in con
tact since coining to Asheville. He re
pcutcd the opinion expressed when he
first came, that Asheville is the tinest
place he ever visited. If the people here,
he said, wore not compelled to die it
would be of no use to talk to them
about going to heaven they would
not care to leave Asheville. He
especially invited the ministers of the
city to attend his lecture. "And there
is another class," Dr. Wharton continued,
"that 1 want to invite, the editorial fra
ternity. 1 invite the rank and tile of
The Ashevii.lh Citizen. They have been
good to us and I wish to express publicly
our appreciation ot what tlicy nave
done."
Dr. Wharton's sermon was based on
the text "What think ye of Christ?"
taken from the 22d chapter of Matthew
and the 42d verse. "It is a great mis
take, he said, to think that God wants
you to take His religion as you would a
dose of medicine, lie wants you to think
it out lor yourself. He says to you,
'Look at my character.' The men who
do not think arc the men who are first
to tell you they do not believe, because
they do not want to figure it out lor
themselves. If yovarc not a christian,
it is because you do not look into relig
ion with an earnest, simple desire to be
come a christian. The Lord Jesus Christ
steps into the path of every man, wo
man and child and says 'What do you
think of me ?'
"Let us look at what His friends and
His enemies say of Him. 1 1 is enemies say
His inducements are insufficient. What
arc His inducements ? He oilers to for
give the sins ot all who will come to Him.
That is enough for me. I would say
'Lord, if you will forgive all my sins I
will follow you.' Again he says, 'I will
go with you everywhere, on land and on
sea. If you take me for your Redeemer I
will be with you.' He says 'Lean on me;
put your burden on me and I will bear
it.' Maybe your mother, who always
watches over you, may not le there, but
Jesus will be there and He will care for
you. Again, he says, hosocver will
confess me belore men him will I confess
More God.' Isn't that enough ? Hut
His enemies say He is not able to carry
out his inducements. Isn't he ? Ask the
christians here. They arc not afraid of
hell; they expect to be saved. He takes
care of them in trial and affliction, and
when they come to die isn't He with
them there? Well, if He carries out His
promises in this life wc have no
right to doubt that He will carry them
out in the world to come. His enemies
say jesus was a hypocrite. Do you agree
with themr Yon say "pcrisu the
thought !'
"Now turn to His friends. What do
they say of Him? Some who arc not
church members say 'He is the only hope
ol a lost world.' Wecan go a step farther
and say 'He is our friend.' When you
speak of Jesus Christ it is as 'my Savior.'
1 want to see all of you saved, but I also
want to be saved myself. As I preach to
you my heart exults to know that Jesus
I.. . o ..: i i t 1
i a iujr aitiuii A uiu i ci ji iuji imuu vu uijr
heart and say 'He is my Savior and I
believe in Him and will follow Him.' He
is a faithful Savior and a loving Savior.
He did notthinkit anything to lay down
His life for a world of sinners.
"Wc believe wc could not lay our love
at worthier feet. We give our faith to
Him. Sometimes He docs strange things
that we cannot understand. You could
not understand Him when He took from
you your dear mother. But He does it
all for the best. His thoughts are not
ours. Uut wc ao uciieve in mm ana lie
will explain all some day. Can you not
wuit? Further, we believe Him worthy
of our obedience. Should I stop and
say '1 don't sec why I cannot go into a
saloon and drink as other men do ?' If
we are His friends let us be His friends
in earnest. If wc believe in Him let us
so live that the world can point to us
and say 'There goes a man.' What
think you of Christ ? Show what you
think of Him by your life and your life
will be a sermon every day trcached to
those about you. There are some here
tonight who say 'But for you 1 would
have no hope. I lay my all at your feet.'
Come out on the Lord's side. What
think tou of Christ ?"
At the close of Dr. W barton's sermon
his invitation for recruits lor the army
of the Lord brought forward a crowd of
young and old that completely filled the
space between the front pews and the
pulpit. An alter meeting was held in
which a number of souls received the
blessed assurance tnat their sins were
forgiven.
And thus ended one of tbc greatest
revivals Asheville has known. Dr.
Wbarton has preached twice every
week-day except Saturday for the past
two weeks, while his Sunday work con
sisted of five sermons. And. notwith
standing this great amount of work, he
has gone on without exhibiting tbc least
