I had built three churches iu the same city, au-I not reolini? called upon to undertake thu surer human toil of building a fourth church. 1 rovidoneo seemed to point to t!tis place as the field in which I could enlarge my work and I feel a S3nse of relief amounting to ex ultatior. 'hereunto this work will grow I cannot prophosy. It is inviting and provnis uiJT beyond anything I have ever touched. The churches are tha grandest institutions this world ever saw, and their pastors have no superiors this side of heaven, but there is a work which must be done outside of the churches, and to that work I join myself for awhile, "Lost I build on another man's foundation." The church is a fortress divinely built. Now, a fortress is for defease and for drill. ana ror storing ammunition, but an army must sometimes be on the march far outside th'i fortress. Iu the campaign of conquering this world for Christ the time has come for tin advance movement, for a "genaral en gagement." for massing the troops, for an invasion of the enemies" country. Confident that the forts are well manned by the ablest ministry that ever blessed the church, I pro pose, with others, for awhile, to join the cavalry and move out and on for s-jrvice in th:j open field. In layiag out the plan for his missionary tour Paul, with more brain than any of his contemporaries or pro lessors or succes sors, s v.i ght out towns and citie3 which had not yet boea preaohed to. He goes to Cor- nith, a city mentioned for splendor and vice and Jerusalem, where the priesthood and santieann were ready to leap with both feet upon the Christian religion. He feels ho has a Rpecial work to do. and he means to do it hat was the result? The grandest life of us:ruin33s tiiat man ever lived. We modern Christian workers are not apt to Imitate Paul. We build on other people's founda tions, it we erect a cnurcli, we prefer to have it filled with families all of whom have been pious. Do we gather a Sunday-school class, we want good boys and girls, hair combed, faces washed, manners attractive So a church in this city is apt to bo built out of other churchas. Some ministers socnl ail tiie.'r time in fishing in other people's ponds, and they throw the line inco that church pond and jerk out a Jlothodist. aud throw tno line Into another church pond and bring out a Presbyterian, or there is a religious row in some neighboring church, and the wnoie sonooi or lisa swim oil from that pond. and we tae them all in with one sweep of tuener. uuat is gamea Aosoiuteiy noth ing for the general cause of Christ. It is only as in an army, when a regiment is trans ferred from one division to auother, or from the Fourteenth Regiment to the Sixty-ninth Regiment. What strengthens the army is now recruits. The fact is. this is a big world. When in on i- schoolboy days we learned the diameter and circumference of this plauet, we did not learn half. It is the latitude and longitude and diamet-ir and circumference of want and woe and sin that no figures can calculate, i his one spiritual continent of wrecehodnss reaches across all zones, and if I were callod to give its geographical boundary I would say it is bounded on the north and south and east and we3t by the great heart of God's sympathy aud lovo. Oa, it is a great world. Since C 6'olook this morning at least 80.000 have been bore, aud all these multiplied populations are to D3 reached of the gospel. In England or in Eastern Arnarioau cities we are being muoh crowded, and an au-e of ground is of great value, but out West 603 acres is a small farm, and 20, 003 a?res Is no unusual possessiou. There is a vast field here and everywhere unoc cupied, plenty of room more, not building on another man's foundation. We need as churches to stop bombarding the old iron ola-l sinners that have been proof against thirty years of Christian assault, and aim for the salvation of those who nave never yet had one warm hearted and point blank invitation. There are churches whose buildings might be worth 8200.000. who are not averaging: fivo new converts a year and doing less good than many a log cabin most ing house with tallow candle stuck in wooden socket and a mini -ster who has never seen a college or known the difference between Graek and Choctaw. We need churches to get into sympathy with tiie great otatside world, and' let them know that none are so l.f. ikou hearted or hardly bestead that they will not bo weloomed. "No!" says some fas tidious Christian: "I don't like to be crowd ed in church. Don't put any one in my pew." My brother, what will you do in heaven? When a great multitude that no man can number assembles, they will put fiftv in your pew. What are the select few to-day as.sEmbled in the Christian churches compared with the mightier millions outside of them? At least 3.000,000 people in thi9 cluster of seabaard cities, and not more than 200,000 in th j churches. Manv of tha churches are like a hospital that should advertise that its patients must have nothing worse than tooth aoho or "ran arounds," but no broken heads, no crushed aukies, no fractured thighs. Give us for treatment moderate sinners, vel vet coated sinners and sinners with a gloss on. It Is a? though a maa had a farm of 3000 acres and put all his work on one acre. Ho may raise never so large ears of corn, never so big heads of wheat, ha would re main poor. The church of God has bestowed its chief caro on one acre aud has raised splendid men and women in that small in closure, but the field is the world. That m.?:ius North and South America. Europe, Aia and Africa ;.nd all the islands of the sea. It is as though after a great battle there were left 50,000 wounded and dying on the Held and throe surgeons gave all their time to three patients under their charge. The major-general comes iu and says to the doc tors. "Come out here and look at the nearly 50,000 dying for lack of surgical attendance.1' "No," say the three doctors, standing there aad fanning their patients; "we have three important cases here, aud wo are attending them, and when we are not positively busy with their wounds it takes all our time to keep the flies off." Ia this awful battle of sun and sorrow, where millions have fallen ou millions, do not let us spend all our time in taking care of a few people, and when the command comes. "Go into tha world." say practically: "No; I cannot go. I hav here a few choice cases, aud I am busy keeping off th flies." Thrr 'nre multitudes to-day who have never had any Christian worker look tit -m in'the eye, and with earnestness in the accentuation "say, "Come!" or they would long ago have been in the kingdom. My friends, religion is either a sham or a tre mendous reality. If it be a sham, let us cease to have anythiug to do with Christian as sociation. If it be a reality, then great populations are on their way to the bar of God unfitted for the ordeal, and what are we doing? Iu order to teach the multitude of outsid ers we must drop all technicalities out of our religion. When we talk to people about the hypostatic- union and French encyjlopedian ism and erastianism and complutensianism, wo are as impolitic and little understood as if a physician should talk to an ordinary pa tient about the pericardium and intercostal muscle and scorbutic symptoms. Many of us come out of the theological seminaries so loaded up that we take the first ten years to show our people how much we know, and the next ten years to get our people to know as much as we know, and at the end find that neither of us knows anything as we ought to know. Here are thousands of sin ning, struggling aud dying people who need to realize just one thing that Jesus Christ came to save them, anil will save them now. But we go into a profound and elaborate definition of what justification is, and after all the work there are not outside of the learned professions 5000 people in the United States who can tell what justification is. I will read you the definition: "Justification is purely a forensie aot. the act of a judge sitting in the forum, in which the Supreme Ruler and Judge, who ac countable to none, and who alone knoajs the manner in which the ends of His universal government can best be attained, reckons that which was done by the substitute, and not on account of anything doDe by taem, but purely upon account of this graotous method of reckoning, grants them the ftill remission of their sins." Now. what la justification? I will tell you wnat iu.stiflcatien is. When a sinner be lieves. God lets him off. One summer ia Connecticut I went to a large factory, and I aw over me aoor written the words. "No ad mittance." I enterel and saw over the next aoor, "Xo admittance." Of course I entered. l got inside and found it a pin factory, and they were m.Vnng pins, very serviceable, fine buu usemi plus, ho tue spirit o" exclusive- ness has practically written over the outside a a-, u "mn a cnurcn, --no aammance. And if the stranger enter he finds practically written over the second door. "No admit- tance," and if he goes in over all the pew a . .j;'jiuir v 1 1 L L',11. 1 11 1 1 iMIit'O. W 1 1H no minister stands in tue pulpit, hammering " out his little niceties of belief, noundine out the technicalities of religion, making pins. In the most practical, common sense way, and laying aside the nonessentials and the hard definitions of religion, go out on the God given mission, telling the people what they need and when and how they can get it. Comparatively little effort as yet has been made to save that large class of persons in our midst called skeptics, and ho who goes to worK nere will not be building upon auother man's foundation. There is a great rn iltitude of them. They are afraid of us aua our cnurches, for the reason we do not know how to treat them. One of this class met Christ, and hear with what tenderness and pathos and beautv and success Christ dealt with him: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all tny sirengtu. xnts is tue llrst oommaudment, and the second is like to this namely, thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is no otnor commandment greater than this." And the scribe said to Him. "Well. Master. 11'. ... I L . I . . . . . ' . 7 -iti'ju nasi sail tne rrutn. ror cnero is one God, and to love Him with all the heart and all the understanlins. and all the soul. and all the strength, is more than whole burnt offerings and sacrifices." And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly He said unto him, "Thou art not far from the kingdom of God." So a Bkentio was saved in one interview. But lew Christian people treat me sicepticin taat way. instead ot tak ing hold of him with the gentle hand of love, we are apt to take him with the iron pinchers of oeclesiasticism. You would not be so rough on that man If you Knew Dy wnat process he had lost his faith in Christianity. I have known men sitepticai rrom tne tact that they grew up iu nouses where religion was overdone. Sun day was the most awful day of the week. They had religion driven into them with a trip hammer. They were surfeited with prayer meetings. They were stuffed and choked with catechisms. They were often told thoy were the worst boys the parents ever knew, because they liked to ride down hilt better than to read Banyan's "Pilgrim's Progress. YViienever father and mother talked of religion, they drew down the cor ners of their mouth and rolled up their eyes. If any one thing will send a boy or girl to ruin sooner than another, that i3 it. If I had such a father and mother, I fear I should have been an iaidel. When I was a bov in Sunday-school, at one time we had a teaoher who, when we were not attentive, struck us over tne head with a New Testament, and there is a way of using even the Bible so as to make it offensive. Others were tripped up of skepticism from being grievously wronged by some man who professed to be a Christian. They ha 1 a partner in business who turned out to be a first-class scoundrel, though a professed Christian. Many years ago they lost all faith by what happened in an oil company which was formed amid the petroleum excitement. The company owued no laud, or if they did there was n sign of oil produced, but the President of tha company was a Presbyterian elder, and the treasurer was an Episcopal vestryman, and one director was a Methodist class leader, and the other directors promi nent members of Baptist and Congregational churches. Circulars were gotten out telling what fabulous prospects opened before this company. Innocent men and women who had a little money to invest, and that little their all, said, "I don't know anything about this company, but so many good men are at the head o? it that it must bee.- .'Client, and taking stock iu it mast be almost as good as joining the chur So tney bought tha stoj and pe ra a ps re ceived one dividend so a? to kejp them stili, but after awhile they found that the com pany had reorganized and had a different president and different treasurer and differ ent directors. Other engagements or ill health had caused the former officers of the company, with many regrets, to resign. Aud all that the subscribers of that stock had to show for their investment was a beauti fully ornamented certificate. Sometimes that man looking over his old papers com 33 across that certificate, and it ia so suggestive that he vows he waats none of the religion that tha presidents aud trustees and direc tors of that oil company professed. OT course their rejection of religion on such grounds was unphilosophical and unwise. I am told that many of the United States army desert every year, aud there are thousands of court martial s every year. Is that anything against tho Unite 1 State3 Gov ernment that swore them in? Aud if a soldier of Jesus Christ desert, is that anything against the Christianity which ho swore to support and defend? How do you judge of the currency of a country? By a counterfeit bill? Oh, you must have pa tience with those who.have been swindled by religious pretenders. Live in the presence of others a frank, honest, earnest Christian life, that they may bo attracted to the same S tv iour upon whom your hopes depend. Remember skepticism always has some reason, good or bad. tor existing. Uoethe s irreligion started when the news came to Germany of tho earthquake at Lisbon, Nov. Iiij. That 60,000 people should have perished in that earthquake and in tho after rising of the Tagus so stirred his sympathies that ho threw up his beiief in the goodness of Go 1. Othars have gone into skepticism from a natural persistence iu asking the reason why. liiey have been teamuiy stabbed ot the in terrogation point. There are so mauy things they cannot get explained. They cannot un derstand the Trinitv or how God can be sov ereign aud yet a man a free agent. Neither can I. They sav: "I don't understand why ;i good God should have letsiu come into the world, ii either ao 1. iou sav: vvnywas that child started in life with such disadvan tages, while others have all physical and mental equipment?" I cannot tell. They go out of church on Easter morning and yav: That doctriue of the resurrection con founded me." So it is to me a mystery be youd uuravelment. I understand all the pro cesses bv which men get into the dark. I know them all. I have traveled with burning feet that blistered way. The first word which most children learn to utter is: "I'apa, or Mamma." but I think the first word I ever uttered was: "Way?" I know what it is to have a hundred midnights pour their darkness into one hour. Such men are not to be scoffed, but helped. Turn your back upon a drowning man when you have the rope with which to pull him ashore, and let that woman in tho third story of a house perish in the names when you have a ladder with which to help her out aud help her down, rather than turn your back seoffiuglv on a skeptic whose soul is iu more peril than the bodies of those other endangered ones possibly can be. Oh. skepticism is a dark If id. There are men in this house- who w ild give a thousand worlds if they pos sessed them to get back to the placid faith of their fathers aud mothers, and it is our place to help them, and we may help them, never through their heads, but always through their hearts. These skeptics, when brought to Jesus, will be mightily effective, far more so than those who never examined the evi dences of Christianity. Thomas Chalmers was once a skeptij Robert Hall a skeptic, Robert Newton a skep tic, Christmas Evans a skeptic. But when once with strong hand they took hold of the chariot of the gospel they rolled it ou with what momentum! If I address such men and women to-day. I throw out no scoff. I implead them by the memory of tho good old days, when at their mother's knee they said, "Now I lay me down to sleep," and by those days and nights of scarlet fever iu which she watched you, giving you the medicine at just the right time and turning your pillow when it was hot, and with hands that many years ago turned to dust soothed away your pain, and with voice that you will never hear again, unless you join her in the better country, told you to never mind, for you would feel better by and by, and by that dying couch, where she looked so paie and talked so slowly, catching her breath between the words, and you felt an awful lonelii ess coming over your soul by all that I beg you to come back and take the same religion. It was good enough for her. It is good enough for you. Nav, I have a better plea than that. I plead by all the wounds and tears and blood and groans and ironies and death throes of the Son of God, who approaches you this moment with torn brow, and lacer ated hand, and whipped back, and saying, "Come unto Me, all ye who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Again, there is a field of usefulness but lit tle touched occupied by those who are astray in their habits. All northern Nations, like those of North America and England and Scotland that is. in the colder climates are devastated by alcoholism. Thev take the fl countries, like Arabia and Spain, the blood i 1 Q an Warm Thov ova rrt tam r.fa1 a I AV Ut. l. JlUl'WTTi W fiery liquids. The great Roman armies never drank anything stronger than water tinged with vinegar, but under our northern climate the temptation to heating Btimulants is most mighty, and millions succumb. When a man's habits go wrong, the church drops him; the social circle droDS him: trood in fluence drops him: we all droD him. Of all the men who get off track, but few ever get on again. Near my summer residence there is a life saving station on the beach. There are all the ropes and rockets, the boats, the machinery for getting people off shipwrecks. One summer I saw there fifteen or twenty men who were breakfasting after having just escaped with their lives and nothing mere. Up and down our coasts are built these useful structures, and the mari ners know it, and they feel that if they are driven into the breakors there will be apt from shore to come a rescue. The churches of God ought to be so many life saving stations, not so much to help thos-3 who are in smooth waters, but those who have been shipwrecked. Come, let us run out the lifeboats! And who will man them? We do not preach euouzh to such men. We have not enough faith in their release. Alas, if when they come to hear us we are la boriously trying to show the difference be tween sublapsarianism and supralapsarian- ism, while they have a thousaud vipers of re morse and despair coiling around their im mortal spirits! The church is not chiefly for coodish sort of men whose proclivities are all right, and who could get to heaven praying and sing ing in their own homes. It is on the beach to help the drowning. Those bad cases are the cases that God likes to take hold of. He can save a big sinner as well as a small sin ner, and when a man calls earnestly to God for help Ho will go out to deliver such a one. If it were necessary, God would come down irom t. io sky, followed hy all the artillery of heaven and a million angels with drawn swords. Get 100 such redeemed men in each of your chu?ches, and nothing could stand before them, for such men are generally warm-hearted and enthusiastic. Furthermore, tho destitute childreu of tho streets offer a fleid of work comparatively unoccupied. Tho uncared for children are in the majority ln most of our cities. Their condition was well illustrated by what a boy in this city said when he was found under a cart gnawing a bone and some one said to him, "Where do you live?" and he answered, 'Don t live nowhere, sir! Seventy thousand of the children of New York City can neither read nor write. When they grow up. if un- reformed, they will outvote your children, and thev will govern vour children. The whisky ring will hatch out other whisky ring-,, and grogshops will kill with their hor rid stench public sobriety, unless the church of God rises up with outstretched arms and infolds this dying population in her bosom. Public schools cannot do it. Art galleries cannot do it. BlaekwelPs Island cannot do it. Almshouses cannot do it. New York Tombs canuot do it. Sing Sing cannot do it. People of God, wake up to your magnificent mission! You can do it. Get somewhere. somehow, to work! The Prussian cavalry mount by putting their right foot into the stirrup, while the American cavalry mount by putting their left fool into the stirrup. I don t care how you mount your war charger if you only get into this battle for God, aud get there soon, right stirrup, or left stirrup, or 110 stirrup at all. The unoccupied fields are all around us, and why suould we build on another man s foun dation? I have heard of what was called the "thunder legion." It was in 179, a part of the Romau army to which some Christians belonged, and their pravers, it was said, were answered by thunder aud lightning and hail and tempest, which overthrew an invading army and saved the Empire. And I .-ould to God that you could be so mighty iu praver aad work that you would become a thunder ing legion before which the forces of sin might be routed and the gates of hell made to tremble. All aboard now on tho gospel ship! If you cannot be a captain or a first mate, be a stoker or a deckhand, or ready at command to climb the ratlines. Heave away now. lads! Shake out the reefs in the fore topsail! Come, O heavenly wind, and fill the canvas! Jesus aboard will assure our safety. Jesus on the sea will beckon us for ward. Jesus on the shining shore will wel come us into har:or. '"And so it came to pass that they all escaped safe to land." CANCELLED-STAMP CRAZE.

The friends of Edna Kane and Mettie Gor man. 01 lvaneviile, ill., who instituted a 'chain" of letters seekiug cancelled postage stamps, for the benefit of the latter, a cripple, have at last driven the Postofflce Depart ment iuto making an investigation. The scheme has caused great annoyance to the Department, aggravated bv a new chain" inaugurated at El Paso. Texas, in mock sympathy for tho Postmaster, whoso office has been flooded with mail as a result. The number of cancelled stamps found in the room of the beneficiary of the system is estimated at 15.000.000 and the report says farmers' boys supplied with sacks have car ried off mauy of the letters. An inspector reports that the scheme has caused complete demoralization at the El Paso PosiolTlce and that an immediate remedy is demanded. Hj recommends a 'prohibitory order. HOW $5 CREW TO BE $243.

School XotcR. Cases of suicide are by n) moans rare among German schoolchildren. The public schools of Carthage, Mo., are to be supplied with telephones. Three thousand Boston ohildrpn of school age can"t get into the overcrowded schools. Ia sparsely settled New Hampshire dis tricts the experiment is to be tried of hiring carriages to collect children from long dis tances to a centrally placed school. Six little Indians attending Drury College at Springfield. Mo., will have to stop school ou account of the failure of the Choctaw Cjuncil to appropriate sufficient money to pay their expenses. The Rev. Frank Spaulding. principal of the Jarvis Half Military Academy of Colo rado Springs, Cal.. with his professors, is to be tried for beating two boys with a knotted rone until thev fell in a faint. A tf.hkible volcanic upheaval is devastat ing the New Hebrides. Half the fertile island of Ambrcin is covered with ashes, and its 8000 inhabitants have nearly all disappeared. The crater of the sea of lava is three miles in cir cumference, with walls rising from 800 to 1700 feet above the floor. The Coroner's office, New York City, shows that since January 1 thirty-nine men and seven women have committed suicide. For the same period during 1894 forty-three sui cides were reported, three of which were women. It is an average of one suicide a day. Mrs. Chatty Green celebrated her 103d birthday not long ago in an old lady's borne in Boston. She was born a slave. SILVER PARTY LADNCHED The Bimetallic League Issues an Ad dress to the People.

The signers of the address demand the im mediate return tothe constitutional standard of goid and silver by the restoration by this Government independently of any foreign power, of the unrestricted coinage of both silver and gold into standard money, at the ratio 16 to 1. and upon terms of exact equal ity, the silver coin to bo a full legal tender equally with gold for all debts and dues, pub lic and private. Further they say: "We hold that the power to control and regulate a paper currency is inseparable from the power to coin money, and hence that all currency intended to circulate as money should be issued and its volume controiied by the general Government only and should be legal tender only. "We are unalterably opposed to the issue by the United States of interest-bearing bonds in time of peace, and demand the payment of all coin obligations of the United States as provided by existing law, in either gold or silver coin and at the option of the Govern ment and not at the optiou of the creditor." They say there are silver men in both old parties, but that both old parties are under gold bug domination, and that it. is high time the bimetallic men got together under a new flag. Those in tho conference assert that if they had authority to name a candidate for Pres ident they would name Joseph C. Sibley, of Pennsylvania, but not having such authority they can only suggest the name and invite expressions from the people by petition, re solutions or otherwise, believing that nom inations when made should reflect in the most direct manner the will of the peoplo uncontrolled by caucus machinery or by pro fessional politicians. A committee consisting of General A. J. Warner, President Americfm Bimetallic Lea gue (Chairman); William M. Stewart, United States Senate; Henry Jones, of Georgia; Francis G. Newlands, of Nevada; Anson Wolcott, of Indiana, and John L. MeLaurin, of South Carolina, has been appointed to select a Provisional National Committee, to consist of one member i'rom each State and Territory and the District of Columbia, to take charge of tho movement in all the States and Territories.
