TO give an address on 'Tbe Golden Now
The Doctor prefaced his remarks with
the song, "He Wants Them All to Come
to Him." He eaid:

while being taken." For fifteen years
have averaged one lecture day. Before
that took trip round the world, and
it made me go healthy that have been
running at the mouth ever since. If
there ever was golden period in the
history of our nation it is now. No
generation, no people ever had such op-
portunities. Population used to be
scattered, but now all the world is next
door. | can now travel in one hour in

days. According to this, one of my days
equals ninety-six of my fathers.
God has telescoped the centuries
together. When see careless man or
woman want to push them into action.
When Butler went to Asia in '56 we
hadn't convert in China. 1t then
took year to get to that land. How diff
ferent today! We have grown strangely
small in the golden now.' God help us

votes were cast in Philadelphia alone.

met Jesuit priest in Dakota. He did
not take me for a Methodist preacher
and he told me good deal of his man

ical intrigue his church is making
marvellous growth. He told me that
they had 150 Roman Catholic chapels
and three. quarters Of the money had
been paid by Professionals. They go into
this Territory, get two quarter sections
and send for nuns. Schools are estab-
lished and thus they multiply, and by
and by the battle will have to be fought
in which the liquor traffic and Romanism
will unite to crueh out our golden op-
portunities. We must be care
full that the golden now is
not turned into curse to us.

So 900. We are anxious to fill this land
with churches. Down in the central
South is another needy field. There are
1000 white women of Tennessee, of
whom $4,000 are mothers, who can
neither read nor write. know they are
called "poor white trash," but [ protest
against that as barricade against their
education and salvation. Jackson and
johnson, Clay and Lincoln came from
their ranks. Christ and his disciples
were the associates Of the poor white
trash of Judea God forbid that we
should lay that word as an obstacle in
the way upward. Three hundred and
fifty thousand whites and ten thousand
negroes ran the gauntlet during the war,
and crossing the lines, joined the Union
army and fought aud died in defense Of
the Union.
The Doctor finished by telling his ex-
perience during the war, when the Union
flag trembled and was once driven back.
"Thus it is with many fight on Gods
battlefield. But, in the name of Christ,
| say victory is coming" He closed by
singing, "Our Lord is Marching On"

cussed the subject of Personal Work."
