CHRISTIAN CIVILIZATION AGAINST BARsARIsH
Furthermore, during that exposition Chris.
tian civilization Will confront barbarlsn We
shall as a nation have 4 greater opportunity
70 make an evangelizing impression upon
foreign nStionalities than would otherwise
be afforded Us IN aquArter Of a century. Let
the churches Of the city where the exposition
is held be open every day and prayers be Of
fersd and sermons preached and doxologies
sunS Ii the less than three years between
this and that worlds convOc&tion let Us get a
baptism Of the Holy Ghost, 50 that the siI
months OF that worlds fair snail be fifty
Pentecosts N one, aud instead of three thou
sand converted, as in the former Pentecost
hundreds Of thousands viii be converted.
You must remember that the Pentecost
mentioned in the Bible occurred when there
was no printing press, no books, no Christian
pamphlets, no religious newspapers aud ye.
the influence was trems Ddous. How many
nationahties were touchedf The account says:
"Parthians and Medes and Elamites," that
is. people from the eastern countries; "Phry
gle and Pamphylia," that is, the western
countries; "Cyrene and strangers Of Rome,
Cretes and Arabiens," that is, the western
countries; but they were aIl moved by the
mighty spectacle. Instead of the sixteen or
eighteen tribes Of people reported at that Pen
tecost, ell the chief nations of Europe and
Asia, North and South America, viii be rep
resented az our worlds fair IN 1889, and
PentecoSt here and then would mean the sal
walton Of the round world But, you say,
we may Lave at that fair the people Of al
lands and all the machinery Of gospeliZation,
the religious printing presses and the
churches, but all that would not make q Pen
tecost; we must have God. Well. you can
have him. Has he not been graciOusly wait
ingl and nothing stands III the way but our
own unbelief and Incidence and sin. May
God break down the barriers!
The grandest opportunity for the evangel-
ization OF all nations since Jesus Christ died
on the cross win be the Worlds exposition Of
1892 God may take us out OF the harvest
field before that, but let it be known through
out ChristendoIn that that year, between
Nav and November, viii be the mountain Of
Christian advantage, the Alpine and Hiraa-
layan height of opportunity overtopping all
others for salvation. Instead Of the slow
process Of having 70 send the gospel % other
lands by our own American missionaries,
who have difficult toll IN acquiring the for
eign language ana then must contend with
foreign p-ejudices, what a grand thing 10
have cble and influential foreigners convert
ed during their visit in America aud thsn
have them return to their native lands with
the glorious tidings Oh, for an overwhelm-
ing work Of grace for the year 1892. that
work beginning in the autumn Of 1889.
GREAT WORLDS PEACE CONGRESS.
Another opportunity, II our public men
ses It, and it IS the duty Of pulpit and print
ing press 70 help them to see it, viii be the
calling at that time and place Of great
peace congress for all nations The conven-
ton Of representatives from the govern
ments Of North and South America now at
Washington is only a type Of what we may
have on a vast and world wide scale at the
international exposition OF 1892 By one
stroke the gorgon OF war might be slain and
buried 50 deep that neither trumpet OF hu-
man dispute or Of archangel's blowing could
rssurrecC It. When the last Napoleon called
such a congress Of nations. many did not re-
spond. and those that did respond gathered
wondering what trap that willy destroyer Of
the French republic and the builder Of a
French monarchy might spring on them
But what i the most popular government
on earth--I mean the United States govern
msut-should practically say 70 Gil nations:
On the American continent IN lsJ2 we viii

governments Of Europe, Asis and Africa 10

and that shaD establish an international ar6i-
