Was the ubject of Rev. Holmes Yes
terday Morning "Quit You Like
Men" The Point.
The following is I ho sermon of Uev.
J. II. Homes yesterday morning:
In the year of 1!MM, when our nallon
ii I niissioimry convention met in Cin
cinnati, I lie venerable A. M. Alkinson,
this friend of the aged minister, was
making an eloquent appeal on liehulf
of ministerial' rolife, when, after a
moment's pause, ho said wilh giont
earnestness, "Quit, you lilto ini'ti," and
then, as (ho words seenied lo die
nway, that. great, audience saw olio
they had learned to respect and love,
slugger anil fall lo I lie lloor, dead. II
was Hie closing message of a ureal
man, whose life had heeu a henediclion
to hundreds of others. lie felt the
cause Unit was so dear to hi heart was
being neglected ,y others, and he gave
his last hrealh of life to advance this
one Interest.
1'aul is writng to I Ii Corinthian
church junior somewhat similar cir
cumstances. He fell llieir need of
pastoral guidance, and had urged A m I
los to no to Corinth lo aid I hem, and
when lie failed to get him to go, he
writes lo the church and makes this
gnat, appeal: "Watch ye, stand fast
in I lie faith, quit you like men; lie
strong."
"Watch YC
When an army is on duty, In the out
skirts of Hie camp will he found

In giving insl ruct ion to the army of
this Lord, repeated injunctions were
given to he careful not to let an enemy
tako us unawares. The Hook is lull of
Its exhortat loils to wnleli on every

access to the heart through the ear.
The willing listener to impure speech
Will soon be tilled wilh evil Ihoiighls.

lilc itself will finally hecoine the ser

1'aul wrote in a somewhat similar
vein w hen he exhorted I he young dis
ciple lo "Tako h ed unlo Ihisoif."
l'ure water does not Mow from ;m im

Wilh no less diligence are we to

for the refreshments, she found thai
she was expected lo serve wine lo Ihe
gnosis, and all the pleasure died for
her in a moment, she knew Ihat Hod
had hidden His children lo reprove
the works of darkness, and Ihat it was
just as wrong lo drink wine in the

straight lo th(! lady of Ihe house and
told her Ihat she coiiid not serve wine,

result was, hut We do know that she
vas standing "fast in Ihe faith,' and
can In no case lose her reward.

Mr. Holmes of the Chrislain church
gave another of ills Interesting illus

hist night.
The persitctioii of the early church
Instigated hv Saul of Tarsus did not
slop when that devout Hebrew be
came 1'aul the Christian. In the
eleventh chapter of Acts wo tire told
that the disciples were scattered
ah road hut up to this lime the apos
les themselves were left undisturb
ed; hut the unprincipled Mehod, see
ing I hid to persecute the Christians
gained favor of the Jews, had .lames
put. tu death with a sword and ar
rested I'oler intending to have him
put lo death as soon as tho feast,
days were over. Peter was securely
chained between two soldiers und
guarded by Hi more for they feared
Ihe Interference of his friends. The
church va helpless so far as any
earthly power was concerned hut
they had fallh in (iod and turned to
Him. They ceased not lo pray and
oven far into the night when others
were fast asleep their anxious peti
tions were ascending to Iii 111 who
said. "Ask an'l .ve shall receive." Hod
heard their cry and sent His angel
who oo-ed the chains from Peter,
opened the prison doors, led them
out Into Ihl? street and disappeared.
When Hie Apostle realized that Hod
had overcome the power of his ene
mies and set him free, be sought nt
once the faithful hand which was vet
In prayer, lo tell them of the glad
good news of Ms miraculous ilellver
,i'K. When earthly power hail fail
ed, Hod had delivered His sorvnnl for
lie had yel much work for him to do.

A NEW METHOD OF EVANGELISM
Paul's Method Was to Teach Pub
licly and From House to House.
Urges Return to the Old
Method.
Text: Acts 20:20 "From House to
House."
A new method
of evangelism is
ca0d for Our prevalent method is
a
1
1,11(1 wliat ,,,c new? T,le l,TOHl'nt
method is the method of tho business
combine or corporation. The mora-
hers build a house, hire a preacher,
put him in charge and let him run
it without calling on them for any
thing more thin the money to sup
port it, and their dress-parade at
tendance on Sunday morning. He is
the paid agent to look afler religion
for them. They are the stockholders,
and ho is the business manager. The
less they are bothered with the ad
ministration. Ihe better ihey like it.
The average sinner feels about as
much interest in such an affair as

trust, lie is iniiiuereii,, mien lining-
onlstic to it. The new evangelism is
a return to the very old method of
Jesus Christ and the nposlles. It
means personal work. The preacher
is only a lender, (he members are all
personal soul-winners. It Is bringing
tho individual Christian fice to face,
hand to hand and hoar to heart with
the unsaved. The now evangelism
emphasizes personal effort in soul
winning. Kach member is 10 carry
the gospel to his neighbor and urge
him to receive Christ. It is tho win
one method. This was Paul's moth
od. He taught publicly, and from
'biiiicvi fn linnsn " Tlw now mcthrwl
t, . ,,, ,., ,- .. Tpsi.1.
! niont Christ preached several of his
'greatest sermons lo one auditor. All
1 believers should be soul-winners.
There are five reasons why I urge a
return to this old way.
I 1. It will raise the tone of spirit
ual life in our churches. No Christ
ian ever became spiritually strong by
hearing good preaching. Many of
our people have dried up on good
preaching. It is receiving and then
'giving out tint builds up. The sea
of Calilee receives the Jordan and
'gives it out again. This keeps it
frsl1 am1 fu" "f fisM- Tnp IVl"1 S,'a
receives the .Ionian anil does not
give it out, and it is dead a id deso
late. So the Christian who gives Ihe
gospel to others in an earnest heart
lo heart way, will become rich in
spiritual life.
It requires more con
sistont living to make an
earnest ap-

he church treasurer. We need
to Hi
'not fewer givers of nionev. but more
livers of men. It will quicken the
spiritual life of any christian to make
IM.rstai rffrt in soul winning,

2. This new method will bring the
masses and the church into sympathy

tact of the church members with the

great truth, Unit wo want all men to
conio to church regardlesa of their
condition lu the world.
4. Tills new emphasis on personal
the people to come to church is to
go after them. It is not so much tho
churaeter of preaching that arouses
them, as the character of welcome
they meet. They will come If we let
them understand that we are really
anxious to have them.
5. This personal work, by the mem-
1 hers of the church will greatly In
crease the number of souls saved.
We need more people directly en
gaged in an effort to win men to
Christ, and then we shall see larger
numbers come to Christ.
Thomas Chalmers a little over fif
ty years ago in Edinburgh, Scotland,
started a mission in West Tort, a
very wretched portion of the city.
He sent out Christian laymen from
house to house to Invite the people
to church, to get the children for
Sunday school, and to relieve the dis
tressed. Today St. John's church is
a self-sustaining parish, the result of
this effort. This was among a peo
ple half of whom were paupers, and
most of whom were totally Iguorant
and criminal. He demonstrated that
personal work from house to house
by laymen is the real solution of the
problem of city evangelization. The
people will respond to this kind of
effort. To build churches, and wait
for the people to come is not the
method jf tho apostles. Christ said
for us to go out into the streets and
lanes of the city and bring in the
people. We want men and women
to do this character of work. Lot
every member realize that he is ex
pected to bo a witness for Christ.
This is the new evangelism, hut yet
as old as the New Testament,

"THE INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH"
SELECTED AS THE SUBJECT
OF DISCOURSE.
TEXT TAKEN FROM MARK XVI: IS
"Go Ye Into All the World and
Preach the Gospel to' Every
Creature." "And the Common
People Heard Him Gladly"
A large congregation assembled in
the First Methodist church Sunday
morning anil listened with evident in
terest to a sermon delivered by too
pastor on the subject: "Tho Institu
tional Church," after which tho Sac
rament of the Lord's Supper was ad
ministered to a host of participants.
ilr. Godhey road for his text the
fifteenth verso of tho sixteenth chap
ter of Mark: "(io Ye Into All the
World and Preach tho gospel to
Every Creature." Also Mark 12:27.
"And the Common People Heard Him
Cladly."
The sermon is in subslaneo is as
follows:
.lesus did not exaelly follow the cus
tomary method of teaching and did
not confine himstlf to the place lu
which the teaching was accustomed
to he done. Ho attended tho ser
vices of the sanctuary on tho Sab
bath find taught those who board him
to regard lie authority of the law and
tho prophets, and to reverence tho
house of His Father, and on one oc
casion he went into the temple and
drove out the money changers and
turned over their tables, declaring
in the language of the Scripture:
"It ! written that my house shall be
called a house of prayer, but ye havo
made !l a den of thieves." There
lore any disregard for tho temple and
its sanctity has no sanction from tho
Savior of men. Tho church Is right,
therefore, in dedicating n sanctuary
for the worship only, and keeping out
money changers and every desecra
tion from the place.
Itnt there are demands upon the
church that make necessary that
provision shall be made to meet new
and present conditions, and if we are
to "heal the sick, raise the dead,
cleanse the leper and cast out devils."
we must be aide to nroviilo the ron
eliiions that make this possible. Tho
common people heard Jesus gladly be
cause .lesus met the wants of the
common people when they found they
had a friend to whom they conbl
bring their sieU. and whose wonts
brought cheer to their hearts thoy
flocked to hear him and everywhere
be left not only spirlutnl. but. tem
poral blessings behind him. No won
der that they published it every
where when thoy were healed. Th
appreciation of benefits received
made them friends who could be re
lied upon to speak ni;.nv woids of
e'linnieiidatioii f n V in1 teacher
who bad done sUch lasling jjood.
The church has perhaps missed this
lesson by making "spiritual r.pplica
mti" of the lesson of a plivsical
healing which Christ accomplished.
" n it should have learned the vain
'f 'his nt' ihod and broupht more tria
