AVithont rnn"h care as to how much the boat tilts or how much wtter is splashed on deck, the fishermen rusi about Katherimj tip the Lrokt u mt'.shes of the net. Out yondor there is a slip dancing on the wave, ;md ti;ej- hail it, "Ship .ahoy, hear down this way I" Tne 8liii conies, and both I oats, both fishing smacks, uro fliled with the floun h riii treasures. "Ah," says ?omo o:io, "how much better it would have won if they had staid on shore, and fished with a hook and line, an 1 taken one at a timo, instead of having this trreat rxcitcaiont, and the boat almost upset, and the net Lrokon. and havinu' to call for help, and Kettin. soppinpf wot with the sea Tho churcit is t le ho it, tho osp'd is the net, society is the sea, and a rcat re vival is a whole school brought In tit one twerp of the net. I have admiration for that man who voes out with a hook tin 1 lin j to iish. I admire the way ho unwinds the ro;d and adjusts the bait .and drops the hook in a quiet place on a still after noon, and her.' matches one and there one, but I like also a bif? boat, and a larK'e crew, and a net a mile lont?, and swift oars, and stout sails, ,md a stiff breeze, and a preat multilii ie of souis brought so Kreat a multitude tl:at you have to wt help to draw it ashore strainin th.e net to the ut most until it breaks here and there, letting a h w esoapo, but hrkiojine.tQf.jrro.at multitude into eterua! safety. In other wonls, I believe in revivals. Tho preat work of saving men bepaa with peofile joinini the church in one dav, and it will close with 10,000,000 or 100,000,000 peo ple saved in 24 hours, when nations shall bo born in a day. But thor'i are objections to revivals. People aro opposed to them be cause the net mv.'ht set broken, and If by the pressure ot souls it doest not pet broken, then they t.ake their own penknives and slit the net. "They Inclosed a prreat multitude of fishes, and the net brake.' It is sometimes opposed to revivals of re ligion that those who come into tne church at such times do not hold out ; as long as there is a Kale of blessing they have their sails up. but as soon as strong winds stop blowing then they drop into a dead calm. But what are 1 he facts in the case? In till our churches tho vast majority of the useful people are those who .are brought in under prcat awakeiimirs, an 1 they hold out. Who are the prominent men in the United States in churches, in prayer meetings, in Sabbat u choo!s? For the in est part they are the pro duct of groat awakenings. I have noticed that those who are brought into tlie kingdom of Go l through revivals J have more persistence and more determina tion in tho Christian life than those who j come in under a low state of religion, l'eo- i plo born in an icehouse niny live, Lait they j will never get over the cold they caught in the Icehouse ! A cannon ball depends upon the impulse, with which it starts for how far i it shall po and how swiftly, and the greater I the revival force with which a soul is etarted j tho more farreaching and far resounding will j be tho execution. But it is sometimes objected to revivals ! that there is so mnch excitement that people. ! mistake hysteria for religion. j We must admit that in every revival of re- ! ligion there is either a suppressed or a ! demonstrated excitement. Indeed if a man 1 can go out of it state of condemnation into i a state of acceptance with God, orsee others ; go, without any agitation of soul, he is in an I unhealthy, morbid state, and is as repulsive j and absurd as a man who should boast he I saw a child snatched out from under a ! horse's hoofs and felt no agitation, or saw a m.an rescued from the fourth story ot a house on fire and felt no acceleration of tne pulses. Salvation from sin and death and hell into life and peace and heaven forever 13 such a tremendous thing that if a man tells me he can look on it without any agitation I doubt his Christianity. The fact is that sometimes excitement is tho most important possible thing. In ease of resuscitation from drown ing or freezing, the one idea is to excite ani mation. Be!ore conversion we are dead. It is the business of the church to revive, arouse, awaken, resuscitate, startle into liie. Excitement is bad or good according to what it makes us do. If it makes us dothat which is bad, it is bad excitement, but if it make us agitated about our eternal welfare, if it make us pray, it it make us attend upon Christian service, if it make us cry unto God for mercy, then it is a good excitement. It is sometimes s iid that during revivals of religion great multitudes of children and young people are brought into the church, and they do not know what they are about. It has been my observation that the earlier people come into the kingdom of God the more useful they are. TiObert Hall, the prince of Baptist preach ers, was converted at twelve years of age. It is suppose 1 he knew what he was about. Matthew Henry, the commentator, who did more than any man of his century for in creasing the interest in the study of the Scriptures, was converted at eleven years of age ; Isabella Graham, immortal "in the Christian church, was converted at ten years or age ; Dr. Watts, whose hymns will be sung all down the ages, was converted at nine years of age ; Jonathan Edwards, per haps the mightiest intellect that the Ameri can pulpit ever produced, was converted at seven years of age, and that father and mother take an awful responsibility when they tell their child at seven years of age, "You are too young to be a Christian," or "You are too young to connect yourself with tho church.'' That is a mistake as long as eternity. If during a revival two persons present themselves as candidates fcr the cnurch,and the one is ten years of age, and the other is forty years of age, I will have more confi dence in the profession of religion of the one ten years of age than the one forty years o; age. Why? The one who professes at forty years of age has forty years of impulse in the wrong direction to correct, the child has only ten years in the wrong direction to correct. Four times ten are forty. Four timts the religious prospect for tho "lad that comes into the kingdom of God, and into the church at ten years of age than the man at forty. I am very apt to look upon revivals as con nected with certain men who foster them. People who in this day do not like revivals, nevertheless, have not words to express their admiration ior the revivalists of the past, foi they were revivalists Jonathan Edwards, John Wesley, George Whitefleld, Griffin' IVavies. Os1 orn, Knapp, Nettleton and manj others whose nanus come to my mind. Th strength of their intellect and the holiness o' their lives make me think they would no1 have anything to do with that which was ephemeral. Oh, it is easy to talk against re vivals. Do you know where Aaron Burr startec" on the downward road? It was when hf was in college, and he became anxious about his soul and was about to put himsell under the influence of a revival, and a min ister of religion said: "Don't go there, Aaron; don't go there; that's a place o! wildfire and great excitement ; no religioD about that; don't go there." He tarried away. Kts serious impressions departed. He started on tho downward road. And who is responsible for his ru?n? Was it the minister who warned him against that re vival? Now I come to the real, genuine cause of objection to revivals. That is the coldness of the objector. It is the secret and hidden but unmistakable cause in every ease a low state of religion in the heart. Wide awake, consecrated, useful Christians are never afraid of revivals. It is the spiritually dead who ar afraid of haTiag taelr sepuleher molested. The chief agents of the devil dur ing a great awakening are always uncon ; verted professors of religion. As soon as Christ's work begins they bein to gessip ' against it, and take a pail of waterand try to i put out this spark of religious influence, j and they try to put out another spark. Do they succeed? As well when Chicago was on fire might some one have gone out with a j garden water pot trying to extinguish it. The difficulty is that when a revival be gins in a church it begins at so many points ! that while you have doused one anxious soul : with a pail of cold water there are 500 other anxious souls on fire. Oh, how much bet ter it would be to lay hold of the chariot of Cnrist's gospel and help pull it on rather than to fling ourselves ia front of the wheels, trying to block their progress ! We will not stop tho chariot, but wa ourselves will to ground to powder. Did you ever hear that there was a con vention once held among the icebergs in the arctic? It seems that the summer was com ing on, and the sun was getting hotter and hotter, and there was danger that tho whole icelield would break up and flow away, so tho tallest and tho col lest ani the broadest of all the icebergs, the very king of th9 arc tics, stood at the heat of the convention, and with a gavel of ice smote on a table of ice, calling the convention to order. But the suu kept growing in iuiensity of heat, and the south wind blew stronger and stronger, and soon all the icelield began to grind up, iceberg against iceberg, and to flow away. The first resolution passed by the convention was. "Resolved, th.at we abolish tho sun." Bat the sun would not be abolished. Tho heat ot the sun grew greater and greater until after awhile the vry king of the ice bergs began to perspire uader the glow, and the smaller icebergs fell over, and the cry was: "Too much excitement! Order, order !" Then the whole body, the whole field, of ice began to flow out. an 1 a thou sand voices began to ask: "Where are we going to now? Where are wo floating to? We will all break to pieees.'' By this time the icebergs had reached the gulf stream, and they were melted into the bosom of the Atlantic Ocean. Tho warm sun is the eternal Spirit. The icebergs are frigid Christians. The warm gulf stream is a great revival. The ocean into which everything melted is the great, wide heart of the pardoning and sympathizing God. Bat I think, alter all, the greatest obstacle to revivals throughout Christendom to-day Is an unconverted ministry. Wo must be lieve that the vast majority of those who officiate at sacred altars are regenerated, but I suppose there may float into the minis try of all the denominations of Christians men whose hearts have never been changed by the grace of God. Of course they are all antagonistic to revivals. How did they get into the ministry? Per haps some of them chose it as a respectable profession. Terhaps some cho3o it as a means of livelihood. Perhaps some of ttiem were sincere, but were mistaken. As Thomas Chalmers said, he had been many years preaching the gospel before his heart had been changed, and, as many ministers of the gospel declare, they were preaching and had been ordained to sacred orders years aud years before their heart3 were regener ated. Gracious God, what a solemn thought for those of us who minister at the altar ! With the present ministry in the present temperature of piety the world will never be enveloped with revivals. While the pews on one side the altar cry for mercy the pulpits on the other sido the altar must cry for mercy. Ministers quarreling. Ministers trying to Dull each other down Ministers struggling for ecloslastical plaoe. Ministers lethargic with whole congregations dying on their hand. What a spectacle ! Aroused pulpits will make aroused pews. Pulpits aflame will make pews p.flame. Everybody believes in a revival of trade, everybody likes a revival in literature, every body HKes a revival in art, yet a great multi tude cannot understand a revival in matters of religion. Depend upon if. where you find a man antagonistic to revivals, whether ho be in pulpit or pew, he needs to be regen erated by the grace of God. I could prove to a demonstration that without revivals this world will never be converted, and that in 100 or 200 years with- , out revivals Cnnstlanity will be practically extinct. It is a matter of nstounding arith metic. In each of our modern generations there are at least 32,000,000 children. Now add 32,000,000 to tho world's population, and then have only 100,000 or 200.000 converted every year, and how long before the world will be saved? Never absolutely never! During our war the President of tho United States made proclamation for 75.000 troops. Some of you remember the big stir. But the King of the universe to-day asks for 800,000,000 more troops than are enlisted, and we want it done softly, imperceptibly, gently, no excitement, one by one ! You are a dry goods merchant on a large scale, and I am a merchant on a small scale, and I come to you and want to buy 1009 yards of cloth. Do you say : ''Thank you ; I'll sell you 1000 yards of cloth, but I'h sell you twenty yar Is to-day, and twenty to morrow, and twenty the next diy, and if it takes me six months I'll sell you the whole 1000 yards ; you will want as long as that to examine the goods, and I'll want as long as that to examine the credit, and, besldesthat. 1000 yards of cloth are too much to sell all at once?" No, you do not say that. You take me into the counting ro im, and in ten minutes the whole transaction is consum mated. The fact is, we cannot afford to be fools in anything but religion ! That very merchant who on Saturday after noon sold me the 1000 yards of cloth at one stroke the next Sabbath in church will stroke his beard anu wonder whether it would not bo better for 1000 souls to come straggling along for ten years, instead of boltinz in at one service. We talk a good deal about the good times that are coming and about the world's re demption. How long beforethey will come? There is a man who saj-s 500 years. Here is a man who says 200 years. Hero is some one more confident who says in fifty years. What, fifty years? Do you propose to let two generations pass off tho fetago before the world is converted? Suppose by some extra prolongation of human life at the next fifty years you should walk around the world, y.,u would not in all that walk find one person that you recog nize. Why? All dead or so changed that you would not know them. In other words, if you postpone the redemption of this world for fifty years, you admit that the majority of the two whole generations shall go off the stage unblessed and unsaved. I tell you the church of Jesus Christ cannot consent to it. We must pray and toil and have the revival spirit, and we must strug gle to have the whole world saved before the men and women now in middle life pass off. "Oh," you say, "it is to vast ar. enter prise to be conducted in so short a time." Do you know how long it would take to save the whole world it each man would bring an other. It would take ten years. By a cal culation in compound interest, each man bringing another, and that one another, and that one another, in ten years the whole world would be saved. If the world is not saved in the next ten years it will be the fault of the church of Christ. Is it too much to expect each one to bring one? Some of us must bring more than one, for some will not do their duty. I want to luring 10,000 souls. I should be ashamed to meet my God in judgment if, with all my op portunities of commending Christ to the people, I could not bring 10.000 souls. But it will all depend upon the revival spirit. The hook and line fishing will not do it. It seems to me as if God Is preparing the world for some quicK and universal move ment. A celebrated electrician gave me a televApn chart of the world. On that chart the wires crossing the continent and the cables under the sea looked like veins red With blood. On that chart I see that the headquarters of the lightnings are in Great Britain and the United States. In "London and New York the lightnings are stabled, waiting to be harnessed for some quick dis patch. That shows you that the telegraph is in possession of Christianity. It is a significant fact that the man who invented the telegraph was an old fashioned Christian Professor Morse and that the man who put tho telegraph under the sea was an old fashioned Christian Cyrus W. tield-and that the president of the most -ft-mous or the telegraph companies of this country was an old fashioned Christian William Orton going from the communion table on earth straight to his home in heaven. What does all that mean ! I do not suppose that tne telegraph was In vented merely to let us know whether flour is up or down, or which Ally won the race at ne Derby, or which marksman beat at D?b lyroount. i wnpposo the telegraph was in vented and built to call the world to God. In some of the attributes of the Lor I we seem to share on a small scale for instance, in His love and in His kindness. But until of late foreVnowlelge, omniscience, omnispres ence, omnipotence, seem to have been ex clusively God's possession. Gol desiring to make the race like Himself, gives us a spe cies of foreknowledge in the weather proba bilities, gives U3 a species of omniscience in telegraphy, gives us a species of omnipres ence in the telephone, giv;s us a species of omnipotence in the steam power. Discov eries and inventions all around about us, people are asking what next ! I v-ill tell you what nexr. Next, a stupendous religious movement. Next, tha and of war. Next, the crash of d3spoti.sm3. N"ext, the world's expurgation. Next, the Christlike dominion. Next, the judgment. What becomes of the world after that I care aot. It will have suffered and achieved snough for one world. Lay it up in tho Jrydocks of eternity, like an old man-of-war jone out of service, or fit it up like a ship f relief to carrv bread to some other suffer ing planet, or "let it be demolished. Fare yell, dear old world, that began with oaradise and ended with judgment con lagratlon ! One summer I stood on the Isle of Wight, ind I had pointed out to me the place where the Eurydice sank with 200 or 300 young men who were in training for the British aavy. You r-mber when the training ship ez.e down there was a thrill of horror all aver the world. Oh, my friends, this world is only a training ship. On it we are training for heaven. The old ship sails up and down the ocean of im mensity, now through the dark wave of tho midnight, now through the golden crested wave of the morn, but sails on and sails on. after awhile her work will bo done, and the inhabitants of heaven will look out and find 1 world missing. The cry will be : "Where is that earth where Christ died and the hu Ofianraoewere emancioated?. peni out Beets ol angels io iin i the missing irait." Let them sail up and down, iruise up and down the ocean of eterni ry, and they will catch not one glimpse of lier mountain masts or her top gallants of floating cloud. Gone down ! The training ship of a world perished in the last tornalo. Oh, let it not bo tnat sbe goes down with all on board, but rather may it be sai 1 of her passengers as it was said of the drenched passengers of the Alexandrian corn ship that crashed into the breakers of MelitaTney all ssaaped safe to land."

Oates's opponent, the nominea of the Populists, charged fraud and claimed that he had re ceived a majority of the votes east and was the right ful Governor-elect. He determined, therefore, to be sworn in, and was. WILLIAM C. OATES. At noon, surrounded by members of the Legislature, and with the usual military dis play. Colonel O ites took the oath of office upon the steps of the State Capitol. Numer ous threats had been made by friends of Kolb, and, to avoid any possibility of any thing like violence, more than twenty com panies of State troops, with loaded cartridges in their belts, were present and participated in the inauguration ceremonies. They were, however, without disorderly event. A hour before Oates's inauguration Kolb and his Cabinet, in the office of a notary public down town had that official ad minister to them the oaths that are pre scribed by law for the Governor and other State officials. Only a few witnesses were present. Immediately thereafter the company marched together on foot to the Capitol, nearly a mile away, the programme being that an inaugural address from its steps should be made, as is the custom. Arriving there they found every entrance to the Capitol grounds lined with troops. The party went up the front walk through the open ranks and drew up near the right end of the big stone steps. Without delay a detachment of troops was placed between them and the steps. Realizing that this was equivalent to no tice that the address would not be tolerated from the Capitol steps, Captain Kolb and TY. S. Reese, the Attornay-Generai on his tic ket, sought Governor Jones to ascertain if they hail correctly interpreted the situation. Governor Jones politely assured them that they had The Kolbites then withdrew to the street in front of Capitol square, and there the inauguration speech was heard When Kolb had finished Dr. Crowe, the "Perry County fire eater," took the stand. He advised peace, and in the same breath announced that he desired all Kolb's friends ta meet him for the purpose ot organizing a body of volunteers, as he expressed it, to "back our Governor, Kolb." The announce ment was received with cheering. Dr. Crowe then declared the Democrats of Ala bama ballot box thieves and scoundrels, and the Kolb inauguration was over. It isevideut that a serious breach has oc curred in the Populists' ranks over Kolb's inauguration. He consulted few of the lead ers of his party before announcing bis de termination to be sworn in, and they feel that it is not their fight. Not one-tenth of the Populist members of the Legislature lent their presence to his inauguration or listened to his address. Most of them ac knowledge they do not favor tae inau.rur.i tlon scheme. Kolb determined to snd a message to the Legislature insisting that they pass a fair election contest law. He will also give cer tificates of election to the four or five con tes.ees tor seats in Consrress from Alabama State, hoping that the Republican majority there wilt seat the contestants, and thereby recognize his credentials.

The third session of the Fifty-third Con gress began at Washington tamely an 1 with out unusual incident. Contrary to general expectation, the attendance was largo, tho number of absentees from the Senate and House being in marked distinction to that noticed toward the clos of the second ses sion. Tho gallerii3 wer-j crowded, and half the desks cnthe Cors wero smothered With flowers. In the Senate tho reassembling was nt tended with the u-ual scones of weil-Ulltd galleries and senatorial greetings. It was de void of dramatic interest, however, as the President's tnessagn cousuaied two hour and was the only business of Importance transacted beyond the presentation, of sev eral resolutions calling lor information.

Long beiore tho hour of meeting at noon the galleries were crowded to their utmost capacity, while the floor of the House was lively with the movements to and fro of members who had come curly to greet old friends. There was no absence of quorum, as had been feared, the attendan "0 being comparatively large.
