An Earnest Call for Sinners to Repent
The Advantages OF Religion Graphically
Portrayed.
The Jackson street church was crowd
ed as usual again last evening to listen
to Rev. Thomas Harrison, the revivalist.
The threatening appearance of the
weather did not seem to affect the attend
ance.
There were present beside DR.. Mar.
shall, Robert Smith and Rev. Cline, Rev.
j. H. Crist, of Hastings, and Prof. Brad
ley, of Hamllne.
The meeting opened by signing ''Weep-
ing Will Not Save Me" "Just as You
Are the Lord Will Save You," followed
by prayer by Rev. j. H. Crist and Mr..
Harrison.
Mr.. Harrison then spoke for
short time from the text, John,
xv:22: eff l had not come
and spoken unto them they had
not had sin; but now they have no cloak
for their SIM" Out riding, the other day,
1 thought 1 would cross certain street,
but found sign which said, Changer
ous." The sign board was a note of
warning, and, if 1 went, I should SO at
my peril. Just such q note of
alarm is my text, and, if you
choose to 60 on, you'll so at
your peril. God help me. Pm going to
speak about the cloak you have on.
There's not one here without cloak.
Before our text Jesus said, off l had not
spoken they had not known sim" But
bless his name. He did speak. At one time
the people forgot their business and stop
ped to hear him speak till miracle had to
be wrought to feed them. The people
asked, eWhere did you get your diplomo?"
and he replied .sfroni the carpenters
bench" "Where did you get your epis-
glory.' Christ has spoken by his sor-
rows. His was a life of
sorrow. His disciples went to
their houses to sleep but Christ went
to the mountains and prayed all night.
He walked when he might have had
the wings of the morning for chariot.
He speaks by his tears and agonies.
Oh Jesus speak to these hearts tonight.
He speaks by His victories. Did you ever
know Him to be defeated?
One young man has on a cloak of apol-
ogy, another says "Christ would be
hard master" Hard master? When He
says He will feed you with the bread Of
heaven.
One young lady says she loves the
pleasures of this world and don't want
religion, because it would make her
gloomy Gloomy! never knew a true
Christian who was gloomy. I've known
hypocrites who were gloomy, but true
Christians never. AS boy of Is tried
on several cloaks. One was the cloak of
church going. Another was
q cloak of prayer. Prayer
without giving nay heart to God. Another
was a cloak Of morality. l said I'll not
swear, or 60 to wicked amusements.
Another was cloak of tears, but finally
1 put on the cloak of pardon, got myself
wrapped up in Gods mercy. Death is
coming, and if you have on the wrong
wrapping, it will 60 hard with you. Oh!
dying, perishing, lost soul, what will you
do without Christ? Why don't you give
Him your heart tonight? Oh, God help
you'll Christ was wounded that through
his stripes we might be healed.
An opportunity was then given for those
who might wish to seek the Savior, to
make it manifest, when, as usual the
altar was at once filed with earnest seek
ers.
