The Broadway Methodist church was
filled yesterday morning with an audi
ence anxious to hear the celebrated
Quakeress evangelist, Mrs. Frame. For
the past few days this lady has been as
sisting in the series OF revival meetings
that was begun at this church several
weeks ago. During the short time that
she has been here she has created a
vast amount OF enthusiasm, and the
church is crowded at every meeting.
At yesterday mornings service she took
rs her text James 1913: blessed Is the
man that endureth temptation: for when
he is tried, he shall receive the crown
of life, which the Lord hath promised
to them that love him." Said the
is worth having is born of sorrow and
toll, and the more it is worth the greater
the sorrow and toll pecessary to obtain
it. 1t is of those engaged in the pur-
suit of earthly attainments that the text
speaks-"Blessed is the man that en-
dureth temptation" The world says
blessed is the man that has riches,
power, influence, health, position,
and other things OF worldly honor.
Not so the text. Some say 81 never
had any desire to dance, and I don't see
how any one can give himself up to such
pleasure" If that is the case you will
never be rewarded for not being a
dancer. II you have never been
tempted to drink you will never be re-
warded for not becoming q drunkard.
II there is no attraction for you in cards,
there is no reward for you in not being
h., <a1
and surmounted it, you will receive
your reward, for BLESSED is the man
that endureth temptation" None will
be rewarded but those who have been
tempted and have overcome it. We
need not fear that the temptation will
hurt us-being tempted is not SHINING.
Temptation is an enticement to evil,
either with or without a desire to yield.
In either case we will be rewarded if
we overcome the inducement to give
way to sin. We do not know how much
drOss there is until the fire begins to
burn. We need not fear that it will
hurt the gold, for it will but make it
shine the greater.
A great many want to reap the reward
without the trial. They want to be-
come rich without the labor. They
want to be learned, and If a few peeps
into scientific book would make them
so, they would succeed very we'll, but
they cannot endure long course of
study. They want to begin where their
parents left off. They do not want to
begin at the bottom and face the cares,
troubles and vicissitudes of life, but in
that way only can they obtain the re-
ward, blessed is the man that en-
dureth temptation" If you have money,
fine home and plenty of friendly ac-
quaintances. you think you know your
friends. 1t is sad mistake. Wait
until your wealth is gone, then you will
find out your true and tried friends.
Among them all, there is none like
your mother.
Young ladies, don't forget your
mother. Young gentlemen, don't get
too old to kiss your mother good night.
Don't wait until those hands are folded
and you stand by her grave before you
show your appreciation and love. Show
flowers over her grave. There is vast
difference between being saved and
being rewarded. Some will barely be
saved by the skin of their teeth. II
isn't the place in which we are put, but
the faithfulness with which we
fill it. I have been engaged in this
work of saving souls for the past
seventeen years, and thousands have
come forward at our meetings. would
not change places with the queen OF
England to-day. 1t is sweeter to me to
hear a brother say, Sister, you have
led my child to Christ than any other
pleasure that could be bestowed upon
me. If we fill our places faithfully and
endure all our temptations, we know
that we are among those who have been
declared blessed.
After the conclusion OF the services
the church members and all the new
converts took part in conservation
| meeting around the altar. While these
meetings have been in progress great
many new converts have made profes-
| sions of faith, and the result has been
so much more successful than was ex.
pected that the meetings have already
been continued two weeks longer than
was Mt first intended. They will be held
thro roughout the present week. The at
tendance is constantly increasing, and
there is prospect of even better results
than have yet been secured.
