Kbe wna afraid to uudertnko the work

uncle, Mordecal, who had brdught her up,
encouraged her with tho suggestion thut
probably she had bcon raised up of God for
that pccullnr ihImIoh. "Who knoweth
whether thou art come to tho kingdom for
Mch a time as this?" Esther had her God
appointed work; you and 1 have num. It
la tny business to tell you whut.Uyloof
people we ought to be In order thut wo
may meet tho demand of tho iiu In 'vhlcli
UodhafCAji our lot. If you lmu como
expecting to hear nbstrnctlomi discussed
or dry technicalities of religion glorified,
rou have come to the wrong place; but If
fou really would like to know whatihln
W has a right to expect of you im Chris
tian men and women, thou I am ready In
Ibe Lord's name to look you In tho face.
When two armlet have rushed Into bat
ile the ofllcor of either army do not want
philosophical illtcusilon about tho chemi
cal properties of human blood or the mv
tare of gunpowder, They want soma 0110
to man the batteries and swab out tho
lans. And now, when all the forces of
dht.afid, darkness,, of heaven and bell,
uni plunged Into the fight, It Is no timo
give ourselVtia to the definition's and
formulas 'and technicalities and' conven
ionalltles of religion. What we want Is
practical, earnest, concentrated, enthusias
tic and triumphant help. What we need
.a the east you In Wisconsin need.
Id the first place, In order to meet the
(facial demand of this age, you need to be
aa unmistakably aggresslvo Christian. Of
talt and half Christians we do not want
wy more. Tho church of Jesus Christ
will be better without ten thousand of
Aem. They are tho chief obstacle to the
Aarch's advancement. I am speaking of
Mother kind of Christian. All the appli
ances (or your becoming an earnest Chris
tian are at your hand, and there Is a straight
ath for you Into the broad daylight of
tod's forgiveness. You may have como
acre today the bondsmen of the world, aud
fat before you go out of those doors' you
ay become the princes of the Lord God
Almighty. You know what excitement
Aere la In this country when a foreign
arlnce cornea to our shores. Why? Because
II la expected that some day he will sit
apon a throne. But what Is all that honor
xmpared with the honor to which God
salla you to be sons and daughters of the
Lord Almighty; yea, to be queens and
kings unto Godl "They shall reign with
hjm forever and forever."

.But, tny friends, you need not bo aggres
sive Christians, and not llko those persons
who spend their lives In hugging their
bid himself In a dark closet? A great deal
of piety of the day Is too exclusive. It
hides Itself. It needs more fresh air, mora
outdoor exercise. There are many Chris
Uaaawho are. giving their entire life to
eslt examination. They aro feeling their
pulses to see what is the condition of thulr
spiritual health. How long would u man
Sve robust physical health It he kept nil
a dap and weeks aqd, mouths and years
st bis life feeling his pulse Instead 6? going
rat into active, earnest, everyday work?
I was onos amid the wonderful, bewitch
keg cactus growths of North Carolina. I
tever was more bewildered with the beauty
of flowers, aud yet when I would take up
on of these cactuses and pull the leaves
apart, the beauty was) all gone. You could
hardly teU that It had ever been a lower.
Aftd therty are; great Many Christina peo
la tat thai daf Juef pulling apart, their
CMatiaa' experiences to ace what there Is
la them, and there is nothing attractive
WCt. This atyle or self examination Is a
damage instead of au advantage to their
Christian character. I remember when I
was a boy 1 used to have u small piece in
the garden that I called my own, and I
planted core there, and every few days I
would pull it up to see how fast it was
growing. Now, there are a great many
Christian people In this day whoso self ex
amination merely amounts to the pulling
ap of that which they only yesterday or
the day before planted.
Oh, my f rlendsl if you want to have a stal
wart Christian character, plant It right out
of doors In the great Held of Christian use
fulness, and though storms may come
apon It, and though the hot sun of trial
mar T to consume It, it will thrive satil
It becomes a great tree,' In which1 the fowls
of baaven may have their habitation. I
hawo mo patfenoa with these flowerpot
Christians .They heep. themselves. auder
shelter, and all their Christian experience
1b a small, exclusive circle, when they
ought to plant It In the great garden of the
Lord, so that the whole atmosphere could
bo aromatic with their Christian useful
ness. What we want In the church of God
iaVnore brawn of piety.
The century plant is wonderfully sug
gestive aud wonderfully beaittful, but 1
never look at It without thinking or It
parsimony. It let whole generations go
by before It puts forth one blossom; so I
have really more heartfelt admiration
when I see the dewy tears in the blue evro
of the violets, for they come every spring
My Christian friends, time Is going by so
ralpdly that we .cannot afford to be Idle.
A recent statistician says that human life

Oh, my Christian friends, this Is no time

Never since tho curio fell upon tho earth
haa there been n tlmo when It wna such an

Again, if you wnnt to bo qualified to
meet tho duties which this ngo demand of
you, you must on tho ono hnnd avoid reck
leas Iconoclnsm, and on tho other hand not
stick too much to things because they are
old. Tho air Is full of new plana, new
projects, now theories of government, nuw
theologies, nnd I am amazed to sco how so
many Christians want only uovolty in
order to recommend n thing to their con II
donee; and so they vacillate and swing to
and fro, and they are useless and they tire
unhappy. Now plana secular, ethical,
philosophical, religious, cisatlantic, tran
atlantlc. Ah, my brother, do not adopt a
thing merely because It Is.now. ' Try it by
the realities of n judgment day.
But, on the other hand, do not ndhore to
anything merely because It Is old. There
Is not a slnglo enterprise of the church or
Hie world but tins sometimes becu scoffed
at. There was n tlmo when mon derided
even Bible societies; nnd when a fow young
men met near a liuystnck in Massachusetts
aud organized tho 11 rat missionary society
ever organized In this country, there went
laughter mid ridicule all nround tho Chris
tlnn church. Thoy snld the undertaking
was preposterous.
And so also tho work of Jesus Chrixt
was assailed. People cried out, "Whoevei
heard of such theories or ethics and gov
eminent? Whoever noticed such u style
of preaching as Jesus has?" Ezeklol had
talked of mysterious wings aud whirls.

Ami so there are those who havo no pa

meyucriue any lormgi religious uiaciission
which goes down walking among everyday
men rather than that which makes an ex

Church of God would waku up to an adapt,

plo fact that the churches of Jesus Christ
In this day do not reach tho great massea
There are (lfty thousand people In Edln
burgh who never hear tho Gospel. There
are one milUbn people In London who
never hear tho Gospel. There are at least
throe hundred thousand souls In the city
of Brooklyn who come not under tho Im
mediate mtnlstratlbns'at Christ's truth,
and the Church of God In this day, Instead
of being a place full of Uvtug epistles, read
and known of all men, is more like a "dead
letter" postofflco. -
"But," nay thotpeople, "the world la go
ing to be eon verted. t'Yoa must be pat lent.
The kingdoms of this world ara to become
the kingdoms of Christ." Never, unless
the church of Jesus Christ puts on more
speed and energy. Instead of the church
converting the world, the world Is convert
ing the church. Here Is u great fortres.
How shall It Im uken? An army comes
and alta around about It, cuts off tho sup
piles and says, "Now we will just watt un
til from exhaustion and starvation they
will have to give up." Weeks and mouthaT
and perhaps a year, pass along, and finally
the fortress surrenders through that star
vatlon and exhaustion. But, my friends,
the fortresses of sin are never to bo taken
In that way. If they are taken for God it
will be. by storm. You will have to bring
up the great siege guna of the Gospel to the
very wall, and wheel the flying artillery
Into line, and when the armed infantry ot
heaven shall confront the battlements yor
.will have j to give-the quick command

Is the, bank. Your pulpit Is the store. Your
pulpit Is the editorial cbalr. Your pulpit

Hedley Vicars was a wicked man lu the
English army. The grace of God came tu
him. He became an earnest and eminent
Christian. They scoffed at him and said,
"Yon ara a hypocrite; yon are aa bud a
ever you were." Still he kept his faith lu
Christ, and attar awhile, flndlng'that they
eonld not torn him aside by sailing hint i
hypocrite, they said to him, "Ob, you arc
nothing bnt a ranatlc." That did not Uis

Christian duty until he had formed sll hi

In the mlnlrtcr's house where 1 prepared
for college there was a man who worked
by the tinmft of Peter Croy. He could
neither rend nor write, but be was a
mnu of God. Often theologians would
stop In tho house grave theologians arid
at family prayers Peter Croy would be
called upon to lead, and nil those wise men
tat around, wonderhtriick at hla religious
efficiency. When he prayed he reached up
and seemed tu take hold of the very throne
of tho Almighty, nnd ho talked with God
until tho very heavens woro bowed down

1 remark, again, thut In order to be

church ever get discouraged? Have we nut

did It take God to Nlay tho boats or Senna

pel may seem to drag heavily, hut here Is
tho promise, nnd yonder la tho throne: and
when Onilnlsclonco has lost Its eyesight
nnd Omnipotence falls back Impotent and
Jehovah is driven from his throne, then
tho church of Jesus Christ can afford to be
despondent, but never until then. Despots
may plan nnd armies may march, and thu
congresses of the nation may seem to think
they aro adjusting nil tho affairs of the

Pelican, bound for Niw Orleans, sped
swiftly down the Father of Waters, whose
turbid waves, its If angry at tho Intrusion,
lashed tho crumbling shores with a flercu
ness that changed tho geography or the
country at every awash.
The grent stcnmtxint, with Its precious
cargo or human lives, mess pork, hides,
furniture and agricultural implements,
was full of life and gaycty, High roso the
spirits of thu passengers. Tho supper tables
hnd been cleared away, hut In tho faint
odors that still pervaded tho long nnd ele
gant saloon of the Ixino Pelican there
lingered gniteful reminiscences or the
sumptuous banquet.
Myriads of cut glass pendants reflected
thu light I'roin t liu chandeliers and twinkled
and danced merrily to tho muslo of the

Suddenly uroso a wild, unonrthly, appall

and execrations roused from their slumbers
tho hundreds of sleeping passengers 011

aud yet lotidor.
Frantic men, women mid children hair
clnd camo out or their staterooms nnd with

learn from each other what had happened.
Had the boat been boarded by liver

Had she struck a snag?
Was tho steamer on tiro?
The captain had not. yet retired. With
