HARVESTING SOULS.
The Munhal Revival Is Beginning
to Bear Good Fruit,

10 Dcdf UOOu
Central Park church was again packed
last evening with large audience to
hear the words of wisdom and truth
pronounced by the eloquent DR.. Mum
hall. The great revivalist was trife
husky in his voice, owing to the severe
strain put upon him by continuous
speaking, yet he managed to make him
self heard and understood. He inter-
prets the word of God in plain. candid,
straightforward way so that a
child can grasp his meaning.
His preaching and eXhortation are
bearing good fruit, and since his arri-
val in the city hundreds of unfOrtu-
mates, who have been wandering in the
darkness of sin and error, have found
the light and eSpouSed the cause OF
coming of DIR. Munhall to st. Paul,
surely his mission to this city will have
accomplished great deal. The words,
s'How shall we escape if we neglect so
great salvation" taken from The third
verse of the second chapter of Hebrews,
furnished the text for DR.. MunhalPs
discourse. In the course of his remarks
he said:
Everyone of you here who
remains an unbeliever makes out God
TO be liar. You are not willing to
open your hearts and minds to the Holy
Spirit. The sin of unbelief, according
to holy scripture. is the greatest OF sins.
The only reason you are not a Christian
is because you haven't believed your
self sinner, and you go about con-
firmed of your own righteousness. l
call your attention to the fact that it is
great salvation to save souls from ire
parable loss. l can imagine that man
to have suffered severe loss who, after
building up an immense fortune by
honest toll and industry, sees the same
swept away by an unlucky speculation.
/ can understand, again, how that man,
always strong and robust in health and
suddenly stricken down, has sustained
heavy 1oss-the loss of his health.
Yet, what are these losses, though
ever so great, to the loss of the immortal
soul? Who can tell its value? The soul
of the lowest and most degraded tramp
is worth UNNECESSARILY more than all the
wealth of worlds; more than all the
Jewels and pearls that lie hidden in the
unknown cayernS of the sea; more than
all the gold and silver Of the mountains.
''For what shall it profit man to
gain the whole world and lose his S0ul?'
| know it is of priceless value, else God
would not have offered such a ransom
for 1.-THE death of His well-beloyed
Son. / have no hesitation in saying
that if there had been but one soul to
redeem, and that
THE SOUL OF A TRAMP,
Jesus Christ would have died for him.
/ suppose, however, it is impossible for
one to understand the value of the soul
&c hi
possible to call back the lost ones from
the other world, and they were seated
in your places tonight, doubt not it
were only necessary for me to say half
dozen words to them to have them come
forward and profess themselves disci-
pies of Christ. Here, tonight, some
how, hope there will come to you all
proper appreciation of the preciOuSneSS
of your souls.
We shall better be enabled to realize
the magnitude of this question by think
ing of the greatness of God. He is be-
fore and above all things and He has all
power ON earth and in Heaven. He is
great because of what He has done. He
came down into this charnel house of
sin and was bounded with hatred and
fury by those He came to save. Oh,t
scorn to which He was subjected! Oh,
to think OF the sorrow OF GethSemane,
of the
SUBLIME AND AWFUL TRAGEDY
of the cross, all for your sake and
mine"
At the conclusion of his address, Mr..
Munhall called on those present who
desired to publicly profess themselves
to stand in their places and do SO. Be
fore this could be done in conscience,
Dr Ai11nba1I cold two thinUc xx-prn pQ0ac-
sary: First, to give up all sin, and sec
ond to submit oneself entirely to God.
Nineteen persons, after reconciling
themselves With these matters, arose
and gave voice to their sentiments. Dr.
Munhall was highly pleased with the
result of the nights work, and after the
meeting proper was over held short
consultation with the professedly con-
verified ones, and satisfied all doubts re-
naming in their mindseas to the steps
they were taking.
