lost world. o. svss Gill b. ! Gill make him
Q deed 70 the house ] live in and b can

So the E~piscopaiian Church 10 mis-
represented BY the snsmies OF evangelism
They say that church substitutes forms
and ceremonies for heart religion. and IL
10 all . matter OF liturgy and genunsxion.
False again. All EpiscOpaiians Will tell
you that the forms aad crssds Of their
church are worse han nothing unless the
hear, 60 with them.
SO also the Baptist Church has been mis-.
represented The enemies OF evangelism
say the Baptist Church believes that un.
less = mar 10 immerssd be will never
get into Heaven. False again All the
Baptista, close communion and open com.
munion, believe that II . man accept the
Lord Jesus Christ he will b saved, wheth'
er he b baptized by n drop OF water on
the forehead. or be plunged into the Ohio
or SusQuehannA although immersion Is
the only gate by which q enters their
earthly communion.
Tho enemies Of evangelism also misrep.
resent the Methodist Church. They say
the Methodist Church believes that . man
can convert himself, and that conversion
in that church 10 . temporary emotion.
and that all . man has to do Is TO knee!
down At the altar and feel had AMI then
the minister pats him OF the back ana
says: Il, is all right" AMI that 10 oil
there is OF il. False again. The Meth
odist Church believes that the Holy Ghost
alone can convert . heart. and IN tue
church conversion is an earthquake OF con-
vic,ion and . sunburst Of pardon. And Is
TO mere Temporary emotion" wish We
all had more Of the Temporary emotion"
which lasted Bishop James aud Matthew
Simpson tor a half century, keeping them
on tire for God until their holy enthus!'
asm consumed their bodies. So all the
evangelical denominations are misrepre-
s-nted.
And then these enemies OF evangelism
so on and hold up the great doctrines OF
Christian churches ~ absurd, day and in.
applicable technicslities- There Is your
doctrine OF tue Trinity" they say. "Ab.
surd beyond all bounds. The idea that
there is . God in three persons. lmpossi-
bic. II II is one God He cam be three.
and il there are three they can't be one"
At the same time all o: us-they with us
acknowledge trinities all around US. Trim.
ity in our Own makcup-bOdy. mind. SOU.
body with which VI move, mind with
which We think, soul with which We love.
Three, yet one man. Trinity in thea air
light, heat, moisturo-yst one atmos-
pliers. Trinity in tho court room-three
judges on the bench, tut one court. Trim.
tiles all around about Us. N earthly gov.
ernmen and in nature. OF course all the
Illustrations ere defective Tor the reason
that the natural can not fully illustrate
the spiritual. But suppose An iEnor-
ant man should come up 20 .
chemist and say: Il deny what you
say about the water and about the
Air; thew are not made Of different
parts. The air II one; I breathe IL sv cry
day. The water 10 one; | drink it every
day. You can't deceive me about the ele.
ments that 60 TO make up tho air snd
water" The chemist would say: "iou
up into by laboratory and I will
the whole thing to you"
The ignorant man goes into the chemists
laboratory and sees for himself. He learns
that the water is one aud the air IL one,
but they are made up OF different parts.
So hear is q man who says: Il can un-
derstand the doctrine Of tho Trinity"
God says: you cOme up here into the
laboratory after your death aud you will
see-you will see It explained, you will see
il; demonstrated" Tue ignorant man can
not understand the chemistry OF the water
and the air until he goes into the isbora-
tory. and We will never understand the
Trinity until we go into Heaven. The
ignorance OF tn. man who can not under
stand the chemistry of the air AMI water
does not change the fact in regard to the
composition Of mir and water. Because
we 10 not understand the Triuity. does
that change the fact!
And Their. IL your absurd doctrine
about Justification by faith, "say these au-
tagoaists who have chewei up the little
book o! evangelism, and have the conso-
quent embittered Observation-Disclosures
by faith; you can't explain It" lean ex-
plain IL. IL Is simply this: When n man
takes the Lord Jesus Christ rs his Saviour
sin. God let's the offender of. Jus,
~ YOU have a difference with some one,
he has injured you, no apologies, or he
PREPARATION. you say: 'Now. that's
oil right, that's ali right. Justification by
faith is this: a man take. Jesus Christ as
his Saviour. and Col says TO the man:
III ~souk octotc. Uut ~ N Ill
right now: Il IL all right" That VA
wha: made Martin Luther what he was.
Justification by faith-it Is going to con
guer all nations
There 10 your absurd doctrine abou.
these antagonists OF evan.
say. What is regeneration, Why
IL reconstruction. Anybody
ran understand that Have you not seen
who are oil made over again BY
wonderful influence, In other
they are just a. different now from
what they used to be a. possible The old
Constellation, n-of-w war. lay down here
1t the Brooklyn nav yard. Famine came
10 Ireland. The old Constellation was
up. and though IL had been carrying

You remember the enthusiasm
a. the old Constellation went out Of our
and with what Joy IL va greeted
BY the famishing nation On the other side
Of the sea- That - regeneration. A man
up with sin and death loaded ID
life. Re6tted. Your observation
