Out IL Wili tnen be TOO late for our interest

angels would sing "Hallelujah' aud all the

De SO enthusiastic that they would overhO "
into the Sunday scnool aud even ask the
minister what taey could do TO help the
Cause along. Is there any reason Why peo-
pie should not be enthusiastic IN working
for Christ? IL is all right tor the clergy TO
be aroused aud in earnest that is what tn ~
are paid for. Is that the reason the minis
tess OF the gospel OF Jesus Cnrlst stand IN
the sacred desk and proclaim the truth as
God gives them 10 see II? No. il is because
they are standing upon the platform of the
word OF Cod. IL IS because they are follow
ing the snow-wn mite banner Of the Prince o
Peace IL IS because they have swoTn l.

work until victory Is reached or tnoif Et

| platform and the people upon the other.
| There is not angle reason why the mlUis
| teTs should be enthusiastic which does not
apply with equal force TO every man
woman and child in the congregation. ThS
| trouble is. many OF our churches are dead.
Cities, towns and villages are dead.
