tbs three governors who have issued their
proclamstions will not act as referees. No
la lies will be present. In view Of this d fer
encs in the class Of attendants thea and
now. say the world has advanced.
Look at the preparation these two men
have gone IN ough," ne said. "A short
time ago they were drinkers, sensual.
beastly. But for eeekS and months they
have been temperate-they have denied
themse. yes. They have passed through the
severest training. Talk about taking u
your eros, chfistiansl You ought TO he
ashamed Of yourselves. Take lesson IN
hardship and denial from these pugilists
Think how they have worked to be ready
for d2ht which may last only half hour.
What a lesson this IS to usm went on
Mr.. Brobst. Many Of US are letting the
time for preparation slip by when we have
Ravens battle 10 fight.
See the force they exert in the ring,
said Mr.. Brobst, 1.-THE will power, the de-
termination. They hurl themselves against
each other. They struggle for hour after
hour, round after round, until one fails.
They bend their every muscle and every
thought to the fght,n continued VI .. Brobs .
They are willing to kill themselves TO
achieve victory. T Ike another lesson,
CHRISTIANS.
Then look at their skill. They have

aud striki <. and graphing. Their train
ing has aroused TIE faculties of tn cir brain
so that they are rational in their work
They know what they a5e doing in the
thicke>t of the fray Nj listers hear it said
that if they want to preach good sermons
they should gol to the pulpit and leave 1t
20 God TO tell them what to say But 1t
takes skill to preach gno sermon. Minis
tiers, tnke a lesson from the prize fighters
Christ ans, take another lessonl
Look next at the courage of these two
men. We hear of Sullivan's Boosting and
Kilrain's self-confi ience If we could get
near enough to them tonight, just on the
eve Of the battle tomorrow morning, | ex-
pect we could hear their carts beat with
anxiety. Reports get started that this one
and then that one is going to back down.
You hear it said that their trainers have to
spur them up to make them come to e
scratch. Well, it takes courage TO walk
into prIzs ring and stand up before a hu-
mau catapult and take the chance of having
your jawbone knocked out of recognition.
But did you ever hear of prize fighters fail
ing to coue to ii e! These men will come
to time in the NOR ing just as the Bro klyn
champion few weeks ago showed up fresh
after losing one side of bis face.
The eyes of the world are on these men,
said Mr. Brobst. land they will face each
other. Take another lesion from tLeir cour-
age, chrstisnsl
Look at the toughness of these two men.
They are no delicate fellows. They are not
to be scared by f1recracxer They are OF
to be- paralyzed by a scratch. They stand
up as that man in Brooklyn did and take
ox-felling blows. What contempt these mer
in their toughness have for suffering! Take
another lesson, christians! We are called
on to suffer. Learn how to do it from these
pugilist>"
Mr. Brobst made a rush at the pulpit
grappled with it in al eloquent peroration,
and pronounced the benedictiln over
audience which would have backed him on
the spot against any feather weight in the
ministry.
