grand accomplishment! Here is a pull
pit and clergyman breaches in it.
Your pulpit is the bank. Your pulpit is
the store. Your pulpit is the editorial

pulpit is the mechanics shop. / may
stand in this place and through
cowardice or through self-seek-

ought to utter, while you, with
sleeve rolled up and brow besweated
with toll, may utter the word that will
jar the foundation of heaven with the
shout of a great victory. Oh, that to.
day this whole audience might feel that
the Lord Almighty is putting upon
them the hands of ordination. Every
one, go forth and preach this Gospel.

English army. The grace of God came
to him. He became an earnest and emf
and said: "You are a hypocrite: you
are as bad as you ever were" Still he
kept his faith in Christ, and after
not turn him aside by calling
him a hypocrite, they said to him:
''Oh, you are nothing but a fanatic"
That did not disturb him. He went on
performing his Christian duty until he
had formed all his troop into Bible
class, and the whole encampment was
shaken with the presence of God. So
liavelock went into the heather temple
in India while the English army was
there, ard put a candle in the hand of
each of the heather gods that stood
around in the heather tempe, and by
the light of those candles. held up by

righteousness, temperance and judg-

think that before the sun of this
century shall set the last tyranny may
fall, and with splendor of demonstra-
ton that shall be the establishment of
the universe God will set forth the
brightness and pomp and glory and
perpetuity of his eternal government.
Out of the starry flags am the emilia
zoned insignia of this world, God will
make a path for his own triumph. and,
returning from universal conquest, he
will sit down, the grandest, strongest,
highest throne of earth his footstool.
Then shall all nations song ascend
To thee our Ruler, Father, Erie i'd
Till heaveus high arch resOunds again
With Peace on earth, good will TO men
preach this sermon because | want
to encourage all Christian workers in
every possible department. Hosts of
the living God, march on. march on!
His spirit will bless you. His
shield will defend you. His sword
will strike for you. March on
march on! The last despotl
ism will fall, and paganism will burn
its idols, and Northumberland will
give up its false prophet, and the great
walls of superstition will come down
in thunder and wreck at the long, loud
blast of the Gospel trumpet. March
on! march on! The Desiegement will
soon be en- ded. Only few more steps
on the long way; only few more stur-
dy blows: only few more battle-cries,
then God will put the laurel upon your
brow, and from the living fountains
of heaven will battle off the sweat
and the heat and the dust of the
conflict. March on! march on. For
you the time of work will soon be
passed and amid the outfiashings of
the Judgment throne, and the trumpet
ing of resurrection angels, and the up
heaving of n world of graves, and the
hosanna of the saved and the groaning
of the lost, we shall be rewarded for
our faithfulness or punished for our
stupidity. Blessed be the lord God of
Israel from everlasting to everlasting,
and let the whole earth be filled with
his glory. Amen and Amen.
