The Fort Worth gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1891-189?, 1891-04-09

up the four sides while we are talking of
this matter. with the names of the merci-
full institutions and the educational instltu-
tons founded by tnndelity and supported
all along by inhdelity, pronounced against
God and the Christian religion, yet IL favor
of humanity.
oh" YOU say, ''that is too much room:
we don't want a whole sheet OF paper to
write down the names" Perhaps l had
better tear out one leaf from my memo
randum book. and ask you I'LL up both sides
of ii with the names of such institutions.
''Oh," you say, that would be too much
room: wouldn't want so much room as
that Well, then, suppose you count them
ON your ten fingers. oh" on say, mot
quite SO much as that" Well, then, count
them on the fingers of one hand. oh
you say. we don't want quite so much
room as that" Suppose, then, you halt
and count on one finger the name of any in
stitution founded by infdelity, supported
entirely by infdelity, pronounced against
God and the Christian religion, yet toiling
to make the world better.
NOT ONE! NOT ONE!
Is infdelity SO poor, so starveling, so
mean, so uselessg Get out, you miserable
pauper of the universe! Crawl into some
rat hole of everlasting nothingneSS. 1nfi-
deity standing to-day amid the suffering,
grooming, dying nations and yet doing abso-
lutely nothing, save trying to impede those
who are toiling until they fall exhausted
into their graves in trying to make the
world better Gather up all the work, all
the merciful work, that iufidelity has ever
done, add it al together and there is not
much nobility in it as in the smallest bead
of that sister of charity who last night
went up the dark alley of the town, put
jar of jelley for an invalid appetite on
broken stand, and then knelt on the bare
floor, praying the mercy of Christ upon the
dying soul.
mfidelity scrapes no lint for the wounded,
bakes no bread for the hungry, shakes up
no pillow for the sick, rouses no comfort for
the bereft, gilds no grave for the dead.
While Christ, our Christ, our wounded
Chri t. our risen Christ, the Christ of this
old-fas hioned Bible-blessed be His glorious
name forcver!-our Christ stands this hour
pointing to the hospital, or TO the asylum,
saying: 81 was sick and We gave me a
couch, l was lame and We gave me crutch,
/ was blind and We physicianed my eye
sight, was orphaned and We mothered my
soul was lost on the mountains and We
brought me home; inasmuch as We did 1t to
one of the least of these, We did it to me-"
But thank God that this plague OF inf
deity will be stayed. Many of those who
hear me now by the Holy Ghost upon their
hearts will cease to be scoffers and will
become disciples and the day will arrive
when all nations will aacept the Scriptures.

FIRES OF THE LAST DAY ARE KINDLED.
Some of them will begin on one side and
some on the other side of the old book.
They will not find bundle of loose manu-
scripts easily consumed like finder thrown
into the fire. When the fires of the last
day are kiddled some will burn on this
SIDE from Genesis toward Revelation, and
others Will burn on this side, from Revela-
ton toward Genesis, and in all their way
they will not find single chapter or Il sin
gle verse out of place. That will be the
first time we can afford to do without the
Bible What will be the use Of the book of
Genesis, descriptive of how the world was
made, when the world is Destroyed What
will be the use of the prophecies, when
they are all fulfilled What will be the use
of the evangelisticsor Pauline description of
Jesus Christ when we see him face TO face?
What will be the use of His photograph
when we have met Him in glory? What
will be the use Of the book of Revelation,
standing, as you will, with your foot on the
CLASSY sea and your hand on the ringing
harp, and your forehead chapieted with
eternal coronation, amid the amethystine
and twelve gated glories of heaven! The
emerald dashing its green against the beryl,
and the beryl daShing its blue against the
sapphire, and the sapphire throwing its
light on the jacinth, and the jacinth dashing
its fire against the chrysoprassus, and you
and standing in the glories Of ten thousand
sunsets.
