A Call on Every Workman In the City to
Strike on Mondsy-The Gas Works Out
of Coal and Egyptian Darkness an Al
most Certain Consequence-Prospec
of Riot with the Police Unreliable
Feeding the Destitute People-Cardinal
Msnning's Sympathy.
LONDON, Aug. 3L-Meetings. were held
last night by every trades union organiza-
ton in London, and the different workmen's
societies, for the purpose of taking action
upon circular issued by the dock laborers'
committee yesterday morning in which they
urge all London workingmen to go on a
strike next Monday unless the dock COM
panies yield to the demands of their striking
employees The Importance Of the decision
can scarcely be overestimated- If q general
strike is inaugurated Monday as contem-
plated by the circular, it is difficult to see
how riot and bloodshed can be averted.
The Leaders Are Socialists
The leaders in many of the workmen's Or
ganizations are pronounced Socialists, and
these have never made a secret of their con-
victions that the ultimate triumph of their
cause can only come through violence and
revolution The present seems to be their
opportunity, and if they can persuade the
million toilers of the metropolis to lay down
their tools on Monday, it is certain that in
bsss than week thereafter the streets of
London will behold scenes of turbulence
such as no living Englshman has ever seen.
The Police with the Strikers.
What adds vastly to the difficulties of the
situation is the fact that the rank and file of
London's police force ere heartily in SYM
pathy with the present strike, and would
without doubt sympathize with the parti-
cipants of a general Strike should it be de-
cided upon. They subscribe literally to the
strikers relief fund, and when off duty their
criticisms on the conduct of employers leave
no one to doubt on which side of the conflict
the slightest trouble, therefore, the authorities
would be compelled to rely upon the troops,
whose rines ana bayonets would do bloody
work In crowded London street.

THE EVANGELIST.

THE evangelist, as his history
proves, is indispensable to the
church of Christ. He is in the
spiritual world what the well stored
rain cloud is to the fruitful eath,-I
a cause of spiritual beginnings and
Developments. The rain cloud
discharges its contents, the seed
sprouts, vegetation revives. The
evangelist speaks fourth from his
inspired heart spiritual life begins
in human souls, the spiritually
alive are revived.
He touches all hearts. The pas
tor of church no matter how
faithful he has been finds himself
fired with fresh spiritual power and
all overlooking love toward many
for whose salvation he had almost
ceased to hope. The saints in the
pew are touched. No matter how
faithful they may have been in
church attendance or in giving they
put upon self examination afresh
and as the interpreting process
goes on notes and beams not in
their neighbors eye but in their own
eye are discovered and by holy fire
consumed. The sinner is touched.
He trembles to behold the power
divine and like the penitents OF
pentecOst they cry "men and
brethren what shall we DO"
"Ialone have done the deed
It's thy sacred flesh have torn
| My sins have caused thee Lord to bleed
Pointed the nail and fixed the thorn"
Thus evangelical power touches
every one. The evangelist is indies
pensable. The pastor would do the
work of an evangelist if he coult
without great sacrifice of physi
cal life and ministerial acceptable
ty. That pastor is an exceptions
man in many ways who can d.
acceptable evangelistic work
Every pastor is in some sense al
evangelist but not to the fulles
endowment. The majority of pas
tors gladly defer to the well accrCd
tied evangelist.
This leads me to say that tn
evangelist should bring his creden
tials with him:-called of God
called by the church, called by
reasonable success in the field
called by a living experience Q
saving grace, called by love 70
perishing men to deep for censori
onsness and too pure for retaliation
He is a man of warm heart risin
above great sins and little mean
nesses.
The church receives such a Goo
called man. He comes to prune
and to dig about its roots. TIL
church yields to his knife that
may bear more fruit.
