J, , Stirring reports come' from l&A-i parts 1 of America showing , what a: greatfWork the churches of .God are' doing, and I congratu late them and their pastors.-; Misapprehen sions have been going th rounds of some of the religious pre-s ' depreciating the gener osity of this church ; 7Sl,816.24 have beed paid cash down in this chureh for feligious uses and Christian wrk during the nineteeii' vears of my .ministry here. This church was' built bv. all denominations by people from all lands, and hence we have I i wu raising inoHey ior many objects outside our denomination, and that .has sohietimes interfered with our contributions - to the Boards of our denomination; Subscription -' books for allgorJdbbjects, Christian, humani tarian collegiate, and missionary have been, here as common as the. daylight, and no church in Christendom has been mora con tinuous in its benevo'ehces than this. ; Be side tbat we have received during the year 728 souls on profession of faith in Christ, a fact that I mention, not in boasning, but ta show that this church has n3t beeii idleV The most of our Recessions have been from the outside W6r!d; so that, tak!ng the idea of my text, we have not been building on other people's foundations. , - ; inlaying out the p!an of his missionary tour Paul sought oat towns and b'ties which had ntt yet been preached to. He ' kocs to Qorinth, a qity. ment.onod for splendor and vijS, and -Jenisalemj whcjre tB priesthood and the Sanhedrim were ready tj leap with both feet upon the Christian religion; : He feels he hds ep" 3nal work to do, and he means ta do it. r f What was the result -The grand est life of cserulno :s that a man ever lived. We modern Christian workers ari not apt to. imitate PauV : We build on other people's foundations. . If we erect a church we prefer ' to have it filled with families, vail of whom have been pious, r Do we g ither - a Sabbath school class, we want good boys and girls,, hair combed, faces Wasued, manner3 atti'act ive. So a church in, this , day is apt to be built out of other churches. Some ministe:s spend all their time in ,- fishing in other peo ple's ponds, and they throw the line iuto that" church pond and jerk out a Methodist, and throw the line into another church pond and " bring out a Presbyterian, and there is a re ligious row- in some neighboring church, and a whole school of fish swim off from that pond, and we take them all in with one swe -p of tha net What is gained i Absolutelv nothing for the general cause of Christ, ft is only as in an army, when a regiment is trans t'err 3d from 'one division to another from the Tennessee to the Potomac. ' " What strengthens the army is new recruits. What I have always desired i3 that while we are -courteous to those coming from other flocks, we build our church not out of other churches, but out- of the world, lest we build on another man's fouidation. The fact is this is a big world." When, in our schoolboy days, we learned thediam :ter and circumfer ence of this planet wa did not learn half. tt has a latitude and longitude and diameter, and circumference of want and Woe and sin that no figures can faliJulate. ' This dne spii itual continent of wretchedness reaches across all soneS, and.if I wore called W give its geo graphical boundary I would say itia boucded on the north and south and east and west by the great heart of God's sympathy and love. Oh, it la a.greab world. Since 6 o'clock this morning 60,800 persons have been born, and air, .these multiplied populations arcrto -be reached of the Gospel. In England, or in eur eastern American - citfes,- we are being much crowded, and "an- acre of ground is of greats value, but out West 500 acres is a small farm, aad 20,000 acres is no unusual possession. But there is a vast spir itual field here and everywhere unoccupied, plenty of room for more, not , building on another man's foundation. We need, as churches, to stop bombarding the old ironclad sinners that have been proof against thirty years of; Christian assault Alas for that church which lacks the Spirit of evangelism; spending enough on one chande1 lier to light 500 souls to glory, and in one carved pilar enough to have made a thousand men "pillars in the honse of our God for ever," and doing less good than many a log cabin meeting .house, with tallqw.lcandles stuck in wooden sbc-kets, and a minister who has never seen college or known thiiiiffer- ence . between G re 3k and Chortaw Wei need as - churches to r get into sympathy with the great ' Outeide worldr and let them know that none rare So broken hearted or" hardly bestead that will not be Welcomed "No!"-says somty fa?tili0uS Carisfcian, "I don't like to be crowded in church. 'Don't put any one in my peWv'5 My. brother, what will you do in heaven? f When a great mul titude t that no man can noiabor. assembles they will put fifty in your pew. What are the select few to-c!ay rssemb'ed in the Chris tian churches compared to the mightier mill ions outside o them, eight hundred thousand in Brooklyn, but less than one hundred thousand , in the-"1 churches? . Many of the' churches are like a hospit 1 that should adver tise that it--patients, must have nothiag worse than toothache or "run-rounds.'bui iio broken heads, no crushel ark'.es, no fract jred thighs. Give us for treatment moderate sin ners, velvet coated Binners and sinners with a gloss on. It is as though a man had a farm of three thousand acres and put all his wort on one acre. He may raise never so large ears of com,never so big beads of wheat, he would remain poor. The church of God has bestowed its chief care on one acre, and has raised splendid men and women in that small inclosure; but. the field ish the world. That means North and. South America, -Europe, Asia, and - Africa and all the islands of the sea. It is as though aCter a great battle there were Ieft5'),030 wonndel and dying on the field, and.thjrea surgeons gave all their time! to three patients under their charge. The Major General eomss in and says to the doctors:- "Come out here and look at the nearly 50,003 laying for lack of surgical attendance,'? 'No," say th3 three doctors, standing there fanning thair patients, ''"we have three -im- portant cases here, and we are attending to them, and when we are not positively busy with" their wounds, it takes - all our - time to keep the flies off.' In this awful bat tle of sin and sorrow where millions have fallen on miliionSi do not let us spand all our time in taking care of a few people, and when the command comes: 'Go iato the world," say practically, "No, I cannot go; I have here a few choice cases, and I am busy keeping off the flies!" There are multitudes to-day who J have never had any Chr.stian worker jook them 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 tremen dous reality. If it be a sham, let us disband our churches .nd Christian' association;- If it be a reality, then gceat populations are on the way to the bar of God "unfitted for, Jhe ordeal, and what are we doingf - , - - In: order, to reach tho multitude of out siders we must'drop all technicalities out of our religion. Wh"n we talk to people; about, the hypostatic uniotf and -French Encyclo pedianism, and Erastinianism, and :Complu tensianism, wei are as -impoHtio'-and httle understood as if a physician should talk to an ordinary patient about the pericardium and intercostal muscle, and scorbutic symptoms. -Many of us come out of the theological semi naries so loaded up that we take the first ten- years to show our people now mucm we Know, and the next ten years get our people to know as much as we know, and at the end find that neither of us know anything as we ought to know. Here are- hundreds and thousands of sinning, struggling and dying people who nee 1 to realize just one thing that Jesus1 Christ came to save them,' and . will save them now. But we go into a pro . found and elaborate definition of what justi fication is. and after all the work iihere are not, outside of the learned professions, 5,000, people in the United states wno can teu SSSSt10 ?" 1 read jou the teJM'Jf Purelv a forensic act; the act o. a jn-lge sithngr in the foruox, in'-whiclr xna Supremo.

One of this class- met Christ,; and hear with what tenderness, and pathos: and beauty v and succe's Christ dealt with hm: "Thod shalfc krve the IxrI thy God With all thy heart, and with all thy spul, and with all thy-m:nd, and with all thy strength.

'.V So a skeptic was.saved in-one in" terview. But few Christian people treat the skeptic in that way. Instead of taking hold of him with tho gentle hand of love, we are apt to take him with the iron pincers of ec clesiasticism. ' -. .

"The company owned no land, or if they did, there was no sign of oil produced. But the President of the company was a Presbyterian elders and the Treasurer was an Episcopal vestryman, and one director was a Metho list class leader, and the other direc tors prominent members of Baptist and Con gregational chur ches. Circulars were gotten out telling what fabulous prospects opened be fore this company.
