The Hunger Of the Church.

Soul-hunger is everywhere leading the
churches to remarkable activity in the diff
ferent departments Of religious labor. Un-
der the stimulus of this hunger the hocks
are ready to follow their shepherds to any
work and to any sacrifice. Let the pastors
suggest that what is needed is fine church
edifice, and the members generally are ready
to give all they can, and bear the more an.
noying burden of hopeless Indebtedness to
secure the needed object. Pride may un-
derlie the action of few, but soulhunger
moves the mass of the membership in the
enterprise. Let the church leaders intimate
that fine music and fine preaching are the
wants Of the church, and all possible efforts
and sacrifices are at once made to secure
them. And these address the aesthetic in
human nature, excite intellectual pleasure,
and afford kind OF qualification, which
many mistake for religious experience, and
from what they see and hear they conclude
that these are the highest pleasures which
the gospel offers. Knowing of nothing bet
ter for their souls, they continue from year
to year to bear these heavy burdens for the
privilege of feeding upon these things,
proper in their place, but dry and worthless
husks TO souls famishing for the bread of
life. The same may be said of all the other
enterprises of the church, which should have
their proper place, but which have been un-
fortunately, in too many cases. substituted
for spiritual religion. When some one, full
of faith aud the Holy Ghost" enters these
congregations and breaches the gospel, not
with enticing words of mans wisdom, but
in demonstration of the Spirit aud power,
the people Immediately discern their true
wants, and the nature of the hunger which
has stimulated their religious labors As
soon as they get taste of the pure word of
life they crowd the churches, not to be en-
tertained by the beautiful in composition,
or the eloquent in diction or the cultured in
music, but "to behold the beauty of the
Lord, and to enquire in his temple" And
if their leaders will go before, or even get
out of the way, the body OF the churches
will march up out of the wilderness and
pass over to the land of promise. Gods peo-
pie all over the land, aud in all the churches
are ready for forward movement; the wants
of the hour are Joshuas, to give orders aud
lead the way. If these remarks are Just
and all acquainted with the facts know they
are-it is fearful to contemplate the account
which the clergy of to-day will have to con-
| front in the final judgment. Oh, that all the
spiritual guides Of the people understood
the situation, felt their responsibility, would
take advantage of this hunger, and lead the
people on to life and victory.

Come Inside.


Recently, in illustrating the theme "A
man in Christ" Mr.. Spurgeon told a story
that is worth repeating. He said Some
Christians remind me of the little boys who

they enter the water Just a lttle-up to
their ankles they wade and shiyer again.
But the man who is really in Christ is like
the practised swimmer who plunges into
the stream head first, and finds water to
swim in. lie never shivers 1t braces him.
He reioices in it. 1t has become his ele-
ment. / sometimes illustrate this by a
quaint American story, An American gem
tleman said to friend " wish you would
come down TO my garden, and taste my ap-
pies" He asked him about dozen times,
but the friend did not come, and at last the
fruit-grower said Il suppose you think
my apples are good for nothing, so you
won't come and try them" Well, to tell
the truth, said the friend, :" have tasted
them. As went along the road, picked
one up that fell over the wall, and | never
tasted anything so sour in all my life; and
| do not particularly wish to have any more
of your fruit" "Oh,' said the owner of
the garden, thought II must be so. Those
apples around the outside are for the special
benefit of the boys, | went fifty miles to
select the sourest sorts to plant all around
the orchard, so the boys might give them
up as not worth stealing; but if you will
come inside, you will find that we grow a
v-tv different quality there, sweet as honey"
Now you fiud that on the outskirts of re-

yourself right up to Christ and live for him.

to be made for in the Fathers house are
many mansions, and that house is TO be

is to see of the travail Of his soul and be sat
isfed, and he who died for all would not be
satisfied with few souls as his recompense.
But the saved will be far fewer than they
might have been; and the failure will be
wholly their own fault-simply because they
did not "strive," aud strive in time, to enter

DO Our Churches Work !

" We propose in our church" a gentleman
recently remarked to one of our best-known
and most useful evangelsts, I" SO TO organize
our religious work that the gospel shall not
merely be put within the reach OF everybody,
but shall actually be carried to every body
within our parish limits" /" If you do that,
was the reply, "you will do what not one
church in five thousand does" Can that be
true2 If it be true, then practically no
church does it, DO none of our churches
take the word of life in their hands and go
to everybody in their town or village and
invite them personally TO fellowship with
Christ aud his disciples If so, then our
churches fall very, very far short of their
duty Then 1t is not strange that we hear
of old country towns in which the churches
are dying out and retain bnt two or three male
members. 1t is not strange that those who
stand apart from our churches declare that
they have lost their power and no longer
take hold on the people that they may yet
be social force, but are not religious
force to make men fear and love God and
keep his commandments. But do not our
churches work DO they not keep up their
regular meetingsY Do they not invite in
everybody? Do they not have their socia-
bles and picnics 2 Do they not raise money
TO pay OFF their debts Do they not make
great efforts to raise their pastors salaries
Are not their Sabbath-schools made at
tractive by pictures aud fountains and feasts9
All true, sometimes and all good, very
good but all this is not what the church
was made for. This is not obeying the com
mand Of its founder. This is not the whole
nor first part OF what the church was organ
