Lie Vol of the Evangell,ts.

In every place where evsngelistic work
mas been done, either in Christian or
heather lands. the question invariably is
asked, is any real good being done 3"
Not only do thousands OF people not con

ton, but many who are protested Chris
iians seem to doubt whether the work Of
the evan elists Is effective and lasting in
its influence on the lives and con sciences
Of the people.
Many entertain the belief that the inter
est in religious matters which accom-
panies or follows the preaching of Mood r..

hall or any other Of the noted revivalists
is caused by personal magnetism, or tenn
pOrary excitement, ana thatitiS very tran
STORY. The more people become familiar
with the methods OF the evangelists and
the results Of their labor. tue more are
they convinced that these preachers
really Stir the hearts Of the masses and
cause them to form convictions and re-
solves that in very many, il not a ma
jority OF instances are as lasting as life
itself.
1t is well for ministers to preach elo-
quent and learned sermons, teach moral
truths, and expound the doctrines OF
their different branches of che church.
The proitableness Of such preaching is
not 20 be doubted; in fact, it is required
for the edificatiOn OF their congregations
and for their instruction. It's true, now
ever, that nearly all great religious move
ments have been the result of the Jealous
and direct, we may say the rough and
ready preaching OF evangelists. Toe
preaching of john the Baptist, Peter and
Paul, was as remarkable for the plain and
unequivocal manner IN which sin was
reprOyed in all-from the highesl to the
lowest-as 1t was for the then remarkable
doctrine OF salvation by the grace OF God
through faith in Jesus Christ. and the
wonderful effect it mad wherever it was
heard.
The church I'm all ages has had its teach
ers and It's eygngelsts. No matter with
VIVA, particular denominations they have
been connected. they have worked togeth-
er for one great end, the salvation of souls
1t is easy to criticlse the methods and
expressions of some OF the modern evan
gelists, but is difficult for an intelligent
and unpreiudiced person, who watches
their careers, 20 doubt their sincerity, OF
the good effect Of their preaching on the
masses who are not easily reached by tue
ordinary processes Of christian effort.
