some denOmlnatlons are espcclhhy
ADAPTED TO work with people of san
guine temperament Or phlegmatic
temperament or choleric temperament
or bilious temperament or nervous
temperament or Emphatic tempera-
ment. The Episcopal church will do
its most effective work with those who
by taste prefer the stately and ritual
istic. The Methodist church will do
its best work among the emotional
and demonstrative. The Presbyterian
church will do its best work among
those who like strong doctrine and the
stately service softened by the emo
tional. Soeach denomination will have
certain kinds of people whom it will
especially affect. So let the work be
divided up. There are the seven hun
dred and fifty thousand Christians OF
the Presbyterian church, north, and
other hundreds of thousands in the
Presbyterian church, south, and all
foreign PresbyterianS, O especially
Scotch, English and Irish, making, i
guess, about two million Presbyte-
rians; the Methodist church is still
larger; the church of England on both
sides the sea still larger; and many
other denominations as much, If not
more, ~consecrated than any i have men,
toned. Divide up the worlds evangel-
ization among these denominations
after they are persuaded il can bedone
before the Nineteenth century Is dead,
and the last Hottentot. the last Turk,
the last Japanese, the last American,
the last European, the last Asiatic, the
last African will see the salvation of
God before he sees the opening gate
of the Twentieth century.
EVERYTHING Is IN CONDITION FOR THE
CONSERVATION.
Again, I feel the whole world can
be saved in the time specified, because
we have all mannerof machinery req
uisite. Ii is not as though we had TO
build the printing presses; they are all
built and running day and night, those
printing religious papers (925 of those
religious papers in this country, those
printing religious tracts and those
printing religious books. And thou
sands of printing presses now in the
service of the devil could be brought
and set TO work in the service of God.
Why was the printing press invented
To turn out billheads and circulars Of
patent medicines and tell the news
which in three weeks will he Of no inn
portance! From the old time Frank

Stanhope's press and the Washington
press and the Victory press to Hoes

has been improving for its best work
and its final work, namely, the publ
cation Of the glad tidiugs of great joy
which shall be TO all people. We have
the presses, or can have them before

hand of every son and daughter of

But this brings me to the adjoining
thought; namely, we have the money
