The Durham daily globe. (Durham, N.C.) 1889-1894, 1891-08-08
j, HIS NAME.

say, he did much that they could do with
proit-but sadly, and against their desire
not with profit in the vulgar sense as the
world measures and counts money.
THE GLOBE is alone this evening, and
it has looked over many 'books-gOne
through the trail of authority, and it finds
that SAUL of Tarsus, who afterwards be-
came ST. PAUL-revived and renewed
was the only, the real evangelist in the
whole lot.
He was in it for what the LORD prom
ised and not what the conscience stricken
crowd would give; he was in it because
he believed in JESUS for CHRIsT's sake,
and not for the round shining dollar.
THE GLOBE is Of the opinion that these
so-called evangelists-these cheap fell
lows who scream, as they term it, "for
COPS sake are in the work merely for
what money they may get out of it; that
they are claiming an acquaintance with
GOD which they have not got and which
they do not want to possess.
SAUL of Tarsus put on new clothes
and, in the meekness and humility of his
honesty, he put on a new name.
Most of these latter day fellows do not
attempt emulation of SAUL's humility.
They want to come out of the gutter
they want to at once attempt to prove
that they have Holy letters of recommen-
dation that they have come from COP;
that they are All Clean and that the scum
which they have just quilted is to be
damned.
My, friend, let us figure it just a mo-
ment.
Let us presume that GoD is good.
Let us for arguments sake presume
that we are at best, but n of that good
any other man, at least, let US admit this,
until we have proven ourself pure and
undefiled from the world.
But these Cheap John evangelists-
these cruel, heartless, alleged reformed
sinners and drunkards and ex-keepers Of
fallen women and abandoned scamps and
scallawags-
Well, they wish to insist that suddenly
after a life of ~debauchery and shame and
ingratitude and miserable wretchedness
they were suddenly snatched from the
burning; that GOD saw them, and for
getful of the really honest and sincere
and useful and upright men, He made
these whisky soaked and crime. corroded
criminals His authorized agents! He told
them to 20 out into the highways and
byways and bring to Him
The fallen,
The lowly,
And those who did not believe.
Bah
Did you ever see a lily?
Did you ever notice it's beauty and it's
fragrance? Did GoD ever dive down
into the mud to make a jimson weed re-
semble the lily?
Did He-now let us be honest-gO
among the harlots to catch some sneak
who was trying to blk and beat his mis-
tress to make him his chosen agent-his
avaunt courier-the dapper young man
who was to bring the glad tidings of great
JOY?
No, he never did, and never will.
These miserable scamps; these hounds
Of hell these polluted ingratas who have
lain with harlots; who have dishoned
COP, their fathers and their mothers !;
who have left their beds Of sin to claim
a vulgar acquaintance with GOD; these
all these miserable creatures who are out
to-day maligning honest and honorable
men and women for the money which
may be in it for them
All of them may go shouting to GOD
but this old man in all his wickedness
and all his d~epravity would rather hear
DARNALL, YATES or MOoRMAN talk three
words of sacred truth, than hear a new
born evangelist fresh from his polluted
bed with prostitutes
Yell the scripture forty years.
In other words, when men go into
partnership with CHRIST, without CON
sulting CHRIST, and stay in that part
nership for what money their may be in
it for them
Honesty,
Decency,
Responsibility,
Sobriety,
Christianity
And
Goodness
May slide down the alley and not feel
that it has been hurt.
PAUL did not want money-he wanted
to save human souls and PAUL was the
true evangelist.
