By invitation he went into a class. He
had never read the bible. The lesson was
about Moses. The young man had heard
about a good many Moses, but had never
heard OF this Moses.
To the question at the close of the les
son OF what he thodght of Moses, he said
he thought she was right fine kind of q
man." The teacher, comprehending the
situation, took his name and place where
he worked, and the young man promised
to come back the next Sunday. During
the week the teacher went to see the
young man and found him working In
the rear of shoe store. He was eur
prised TO see the teacher, and didn't know
why he should hunt him up. The teacher
said he felt an interest In him, and
thought he would call and see him. The
next sunday the young man was In his
elass again and came regularly every
sunday. He was converted, and hearing
an invitation read for all who wanted 10
join church to meet the sessions and be
EXAMINED, he was on hand. He could
hot, however, explain the meaning of
Justification, nor of fsanctioation, neither
did he know anything about the doctrine
OF election, (nor nobody else, said Mr..
Reynoldsl. He was told that he was not
prepared to join church, aud was advised
to pursue his studies awhile longer.
He did SO and presented himself again
for examination, but he had apparently
made no improvement. He knew as
little about justification, santiiication
and election as he did before. He was
told again that he could not Join church
yet. As be was turning to go away he
exclaimed, "You may shut me Oub of
church, but you can't shut me out of
Heaven" The minister being present,
said: "Brethren, you must not refuse to
take that man into church membership.
II you refuse such men where will YOU
get good Christians p The young man

woman had been refused the use Of a
school house for the ule Of Sunday
school.
He could take The audience to Chicago
and show them four Anarchist Sunday
schools. These schools were founded u
keep tic Anarchists children ou' OF the
Christian Sunday schools. There Is
another OF these hools In Baltimore and
there may soon be in eycry large city.
These schools teach that there Is no God
that the Bible is lie and that all prop,
trty should be divided. The way TO
overcome them Is TO establish Christian

Mr.. Reynolds address abounded with
remarkable Instances Of the result of In

The afternoon OF Sunday should be
spent In sunday schools, and tie even
| 1 Ks should be devoted 10 general meet
inRs, where everybody could speak. Too
much preaching give. religion dyspepsia.
