“Why Men Fail”
One of Dr. Ostrom’s Famous Addresses—
Great Good Resulting From Meetings.
Never lin the history of Pleasantville
and vicinity has such a religious awak-^
ening been manifest as that which is
sweeping the borough right now as the
result of the Ostrom meetings, which be
gan Wednesday evening last in Wesley
Ohureh and are still tin progress. The
massive building is not large enough to
accommodate the crowds who would get
within the structure to hear the message
of salvation as delivered iby the noted
evangelist.
Tt is a true Christian endeavor in which
all kinds of Christians, regardless of
creed, have united, and many have been
brought to Christ.
Dr. Ostrom is an earnest worker, with
his whole heart and soul in the cause,
an eloquent speaker, and has no difficul
ty in securing the rapt attention of his
hearers, and in convincing unbelievers
of their wrong.
The 'Federated choir of more than a
hundred voices, with Miss Lillian Davi
son in charge and Mr. Allen as leader
and Mr. Marsh pianist, sing the gospel
songs as they have never before been
sung in the borough and the audience
heartily joins in.
At the Men’s Meeting in Red Men’s
Hall on Sunday afternoon the seating
capacity was taxed to its utmost and
Dr. Ostrom delivered an interesting ad
dress upon “Why Men Fail.” Twenty
five or more men decided to lead a better
life.
Owing to limited space it is impossible
for The Pleasantville Press to give all
of Dr. Ostrom’s discourses, but as the
one upon “Why Men Fail” is so strong
we present the following from it:
“No man starts out to fail; no man
desires to fail; yet many do fail. Noah,
Abraham, David and Peter, and many
others that I could name, are men that
have failed. There is a possibility of
overcoming all wrong. Many fail in re
ligion today, just as they have always
failed. Many are affected by the views
and influenced bv other men. If I could
do away with all treating in this coun
try, I would do away with all this harm
ful drinking of liquor. If you ever make
a success of yourself, you will have to
come to the place where you are your
self. Every man must give an account
of himself. Every man, if he is going
to succeed, must come to the place where
he will declare he will be right to himself
and Ood. A lost man in a snow storm,
followed the marks of snowshoes of an
other, only to find in the end, that the
other man also was lost. There is many
a lost man who is leading hundreds of
others astray. If you want to make a
success, disentangle yourself from every
thing and influence that is not right.
“Another reason why we fail is that
we analyze things too far. From an
apple comes the stem, the peeling, the
seeds, the cider and the pulp, but should
you put these different piles before a
man and ask hi.m to eat one of them,
he wouldn’t. He must take the whole
apple, not when pulled apart. So with
religion. One can analyze it until he is
confused.
“Another reason men fail is because
of their fear for the treachery of the
future. Multitudes are discouraged be
cause they have once made an attempt
at religion and failed. The reasonable
thing to do is to keep at it until you find
a way to success, then adhere to it,
whatever the cost. No man who moves
with earnest purpose toward God will
ever regret it. If you say "God is true’
and do right to yourself and Him, you
will defeat your strongest tendencies of
failure.
"No man ever came to God for for
giveness and was turned back without
it. If we come to Him scarlet in crime,
when we say from our heart that we
want forgiveness we have it within two
minutes.
“Another reason man fails is because
of partial truth.
"Do not always consider your mother
wrong when you see something in a
magazine that contradicts a statement
she made. The magazine items are writ
ten by someone at so much for so many
words. If you want the truth look in
the magazine that contains enough am
munition to knock down all of hell—the
Bible. Look the way of the cross, the
way millions have seen and gone. When
a man says he’s too busy to attend to
religion, he has either acquired too much
business or is cheating himself. The be
ing good should be a part of his busi
ness.”
While the men’s meeting was in pro
gress the women of the participating
churches were holding a mass meeting
in the Presbyterian Church. An address
was made by Rev. H. J. Belting, pastor
of Salem M. E. Church.
The Evening Service.
At the evening service I>r. Ostrom an
nounced as his text St. John 9:34: "The}’
answered and said unto him. thou wast
altogether born in sin and dost thou
teach us? And they cast him out.” He
said: “The man had been blind. He is
able'to see. That is a miracle. He has
a wealth of vision. That is riches. He
has what he has long desired. That is
joy. But he has to contend for what
he 'has. If you accomplish anything you
will have friends, but you will also make
enemies. They will oppose you, they
will tell lies about you and you must
contend for what you gain. They who
despitefully use you, are not nsing fair
play, they are using rank prejudice.
Thomas Paine wrote a book and called
it "The Age of Reason.’ If it were rea
son it would save the world. Robert
Ingersoll wrote a book and called it
‘Free Thought.’ it too would save the
world if it were thought. They were
croakers. 'When you accomplish any
thing good, look out for the croakers
and the thing that makes croakers is
prejudice. There are two kinds of prej
udice, ignorant and scholarly.
“Of these two give me every time the
ignorant, untaught kind. When you
start in to floor it, it will fall down and
give up. When you floor scholarly prej
