Mr. Siceloff is a fearless officer and

Cures a Cold iz. Om Bar, Crip in 2 Says
Rev. McDaniel Preaches
Another Sermon, At
hirst Baptist Church, of
Both Eloquence And
Greet Spiritual Power.
"God sat in the chair of soltitude
before a planet had moved in its orbit,
or. a created being had worshipped
before His throne. Ho laid the mass
of created matter on the anvil of His
eternal purpose and every spark that
flew from it was a flaming world. Ho
created this earth as man's abode.
After he had piled up the hills with
His hand, and embedded the rivers in
their sides, and spread a carpet of
verdure over the earth; after He had
made the fish that swim the sea, the
birds that fly the air, and the beasts
that roam the forests, last and great
est of all He made man, the monarch,
the crowning glory of creation. And
God breathed into his nostrils the
breath of life and man became a liv
ing soul."
Thus opened the sermon of Rev. Dr.
George W. McDaniel, of Richmond.
Va., to the large audience in the First
Baptist church last night, and the talk
which followed was net only eloquent
and beautiful in diction, but of great
spiritual depth and earnestness. The
speaker chese as his text the ninth
verse of the third chapter of Genesis:
"And the Lord Cod said unto the man,
Where are thou?"
"In Eden, man's first home," con
tinued Mr. McDaniel,- in part, "beauti
ful flowers bloomed on every hand,
I feathered songsters filled the air with
their carols; every comfort was his,
every means of happiness surrounded
him. But in man's heart there was,
nevertheless, an aching void; he was
alone. Therefore the Lord God caused
a deep sleep to fall upon him, and
from a rib in his side created woman
a gentle, sinless woman God's high
est thought, and best gift to man.
And such she has proved unfailingly
to be all the ages since.
"God gave the pair to eat of every
tree in the garden save one. The
devil, Avho was the first higher critic,
tempted them to taste of this tree of
knowledge, of good and evil, and they
fell. Their Creator then drove them
forth from the garden forever, lest they
might eat of the tree of life and become
immortal in their sin.
"God's first question to man was,
'Where are thou?' His second, 'Where
is thy brother?' And these two ques
tions he has put to every human being,
in this their logical order, ever since.
Two responsibilities rest upon us all:
first, that of our own soul ; then that
of our brother's.
"There are said to be four men under
each man's hat; the man. as he sees
himselt, the man as his friends see
him, the man as the world sees him,
and the man as God sees him. It is to
the real man, the man as God sees
him, that this solemn question comes: J
'Where art thou?"
"This congregation is made up of!
three classes, the church-members, the 1
backsliders, and the unconverted.
Where art thou, church-member? Does
a life of pleasure allure you? Remem
ber the nleasures nt sin are evanes
cent. I
'Pleasures are, like poppies spread,
You seize the bloom, the flower is shed;
Or, like the snow-flake in the river,
A moment white then melts forever.'
The church-member who is immersed
in the pleasures of the world is chas-.
ing a will-o'-the-wisp to sheer destruc
tion. "If any man love the world, the
iove of the Father is not in him.'
"Some church-members unblushingly
live in open sin, unrebuked by the
voice of the church's discipline. Others
revel in sins hidden from the eye of
their fellow-man. These do not form
a possible field fcr a work of grace.
It would be an easier task to cannonade
Gibraltar with pop-guns, than to con
duct a revival in such a church.
"Where art thou, church-member?
Ave you fn the habit of trying to save
the unsaved? Have you been instru
mental in bringing any to Christ? It
is told that a young Christian woman
dreamed that she went to heaven, and
there met the Saviour biinging her
her Crown of Life. To her surprise,
His cheeks were wet with tears, as He

placed it upon her brow. 'Alas!' said
He, 'there are no stars in your crown.'
Church-member, will there be any
stars in your crown?
"Where art thou? If this question j
could grip the souls cf the church-j
members present, really impress itself i
upon their hearts and consciences, the
rooms in which the prayer services for
this revival are held would be crowded,
and results would be obtained which
would tell in eternity. The salvation
of these unconverted, and the success
of this meeting depends upon your ef
forts, church-member.
"Where art thou, backslider? You
were converted, possibly, in the little
home-church before coming to Char
lotte. It was a bright and beautiful
day, a joyful experience, one that can
never be forgotten. The memories
of childhood's home are so indellibly
traced on the mind and heart that
nothing could erase them. You feel
if you could only return to that home,
your Christian life would once more
be what it was and ought to be. But
you came away to a different atmo
sphere and a changed environment.
You did not bring jour church letter
with you to your new home. Growing
cold yourself,' you imagined that all the
world was growing, cold likewise.
"It is worse than foolish to attempt
to lead the Christian life, without being
connected, actively, with some church.
Bring your church letters with you to
your new homes; yon will find them
sure anchors in a time of trouble, in
every storm of life. In this regard, a
Catholic fool is a fool in a cage; a
Methodist fool is a fool with strings
on him; a Presbyterian fool is a fool i
under restrictions; but a Baptist fool is i
a fool at large, and the biggest fool of j
them all. I
"A little girl was once rummaging j
in her mother's trunk and, finding what
was to her a curious document, ran to
her parent with the cry: 'Oh, mother,
I've found jour religion in your trunk!'
Don't leave your religion in your trunk.
j or m j'our home-church, miles and
miles away, but allow it to be near
enough to you to be a vital factor in
j-our daily lives.
"If you were going on a journej
you would not fail to tell a dear friend
farewell. And yet you leave Jesus
Christ, j-our best friend, without a
word. You slipped away from Him, jt
HKe a coward, m tne snaaows ana
darkness. You backsliders are in just
as miserable a state as the sinner un
der conviction of his sin. Yet some of
the most precious promises in script
ure ars addressed to you. 'Return unto
me, and I will heal your backsliding.'
"Where are thou, unconverted sin
ner? God misses you. The text was
first uttered when God was searching
for our first parents after their sin. In
spite of jour sin which grives Him,
God loves you and wants your co
operation. The question 'Where art
thou?' is not that of an angry police
man with a club, looking for a crim
inal, but that of a loving father, grieved
because his child has gone astray.
Realize and appreciate the unselfish
love of God's people and the unbounded
love of God. Come back t Him. Make
answer to His question, Where art
thou? 'Here am I.' "
His numerous friends will be glad to
learn that Dr. Hulten has so far recov
ered from his recent illness as to be
able to take part in tonight's services.
Dr. McDaniel will deliver a sermon
each night until next Wednesday.
Two young men professed accept
ance of Christ last night, and many
asked to be prayed for. The deep in
terest which is being aroused was
unmistakably evidenced in the hearti
ness with which the entire congrega
tion sang the- familiar hymns used.
"How Firm a Foundation." "There is
a Fountain Filled With Blood," and
"Alas! and Did My Saviour Bleed,"
stirred the congregation to its depths,
and scarcelj- one failed to join in.
