Dr. William Ormiston in the course of Il
God" at the late Convention of Christian
Workers in Philadelphia uttered these clo-
qucnt words: Are YOU going to point any
one to Jesus? CD BE sure you yourself
have found Him. (2) IIave a deep human
sympathy with the perishing. Hold them
up to look as the Israelities held up their
dying friends. turn around their heads
hold open their eyclids. That is what
tried to do last night in the inquiry meet
ing. There is no patent way of being
converted. Every conversion differs from
another as does every face, form or char
acter. What we have in common is our
sin, and our Savior. You can't reason men
into the kingdom of God. You must get
nearer to their hearts than that. The holi-
est of all baptisms is the falling Of Il be-
lieving mothers tears upon her baby's head.
| remember the room where my mother
used to take me with her alone to pray.
Oh, these congregations Of one. This
preaching from the lips of our mother as
she murmers prayer for our salvation
Who>oever will, may come to Christ. 1t
requires much wicked ingenuity and ter
ribe squirming for sinner to get beyond
the reach of that divine invitation. Come.
and come now. The Spirit and the bride
say come. 1t makes little difference be-
tween two men whether one dying Christ

upon a pallet Of straw In three minutes
