now, do not let us do another stroke of work
until we have settled one matter. What is
going to be the final issue of this great con-
test between sin and righteousness? Which
is going TO prove himself the stronger, God
or Diabolus? Is this world going to be all
garden or all desert? Now let us have that
matter settled. If We believe Isaiah and
Ezekiel and Hosea and Micah and Malachi
and John and Peter and Paul and Christ we
believe that it is going to be all garden. But
let us have it settled. Let us know whether
we are working on toward success or to-
your house sick and you are sure he is going

he is sure he will bring you safe into the har-
Dor, you patiently submit to present distress
with the thought of safe arrival. Now want
to know whether we are coming on toward
dismay, darkness, and defeat, or on toward
light and blessedness. You and believe the
latter, and if 50, every year we spend is one
year substracted from the worlds woe, and
every event that passes, whether bright or
dark, brings us one event nearer q; happy
consummation, and by all that is mex orable
in chronology and athematcs commend
you to good cheer and courage. If there is
anything in arithmetic, if you subtract two
from five and leave three, then by every roll
ing sun we are coming on toward a magnif-
cent terminus. Then every winter passed is
one severity for our poor world Then every
summer gone by brings us nearer unfading

fit is nearer morning at 3 O'Clock than it
is at 2, fit is nearer morning at 4 o'clock
than 1T is at 8, then we are nearer the dawn
OF the worlds delverance. Gods clock
seems to go very slowly, but the pendulum
swings and the hands move, and it will yet
strike noon. The sun and the moon stood
still once; they will never stand still again
until they stop forever. If you believe arith-
metic as well as your bible you must believe
we are nearer the dawn. "The day is at
hand"
There is q class of phenomena which makes
me think that the spiritual and the heavenly
world may after while makea demonstra-
ton in this world which will bring all moral
and spiritual things to climax. Now, am
no spiritualist, but every intelligent man has
noticed that there are strange and mysteri-
GUS things, which Indicate to him that perhaps
the spiritual world is not SO far otfas some
times we conjecture. and that after a while
from the spiritual and heavenly world there
may be a demonstration upon our world Tor
it's betterment. Wecallitmagnetism or we call
it mesmersm or we call it electricity. because
we want some term to cover up our ignor-
ance. | do not know what that is. / never
heard an audiblevoicc from the other world
am persuaded of this. however: that the
veil between this other world and the next
is getting thinner and thinner. and perhaps
after while at the call of God-not at the call
of the Davenport brothers or Andrew Jack
son Davis-some of the old scriptural war
riors, some of the spirits Of otherdays mighty
for CODA Joshua, or Caleb, Qr. a David,
or Paul-may come down and help us in
how | would like to have them here-him OF
the red sea, him of the valley of Ajalon, him
OF Mars hill. History says that Robert
Clayton of the English cavalry: at the close
of a war bought up all the old cavalry horses
lest they be turned out to drudgery and hard
work, and bought piece OF ground at
Naversmire heath and turned these old war
horses into the thickest and richest pasture
to spend the rest of their days for what they
had done in other days. One day
a thunderstorm came up.
and these war horses mistook
the thunder of the skies for the thunder OF
battle, and they wheeled into line-no riders
on their backs-they wheeled into line ready
for the ray. And doubt me whether, when
the last thunder of this battle for God and
truth goes booming through the heavens,
the old scriptural warriors can keep their
places on their thrones. Methinks they will
spring into the fight and exchange crown
Tor helmet, and palm branch for weapon,
and come down out of the kings galleries
into the arena, crying: make room! l
must fight in this great Armageddon."
My beloved people, preach this sermon
because want to toll with the sunlight in
your faces. want you old men to under
stand before you die that all the work you
did for God while yet your ear was alert and
your feet fleet is going to be counted up in
the final victories. l want all these young
people to understand that when they toll
for God they always win the day; that all
prayers are answered and all Christian work
in some way effectual, and that the tide is
setting in the right direction, and that all
heaven is on our side-sainty. cherubic, sera-
phic, archangelic, omnipotent, chariot and
throne, doxology and procession, principali-
ties and dominion, he who hath the moon
under his feet, and all the armies of heaven
on white horses

and will not get into it quick enough to do
something worthy of our blood-bought inn
mortality. O Christ! how shall meet thee,
thou of the SCARED brow and the SCARED
back and the SCARED hand and the SCARED
foot and the scarred breast, i'll have no scars
or wounds gotten in thy service? 1t shall not
be SO. l step out today in front of the bat
tie. Come on you foes Of God, dare you TO
the combat. Come on. with pens dipped in
malignancy. Come on, with tongues forked
and viperine and adderous. Come on. with
types soaked in the scum of the eternal pit.
i defy you Come on! bare my brow, l I'M
cover my heart. Strike! I can not see my
Lord until have been hurt for Christ. If We
do not suffer with him on earth we can not
glorify with him in heaven. Take good
heart. On! On! On See! the skies have
frightened. See! the hour is about to come.
Pick out all the cheeriest of the anthems.
Let the orchestra string their best instru-
ments. ''The night is far spent, the day is at
