| That is the entire business The complete
mission Of infdelitY TO light Christianity.
/ Where are her schools. her colleges. her
asylums Of mercyl Let me throw you down
a Will ream of foolscap paper that you
! may i'll all Of it with the names of her
benefcent institutions. the colleges and the
asylums, the institutions Of mercy and
of learning, founded by infidelity,
and supported alone by infidelity,
pronounced against God and the Chris
tian religion and yet in favor Of making the
world better. 90" you say. "a ream of
paper is too much for the names of those
institutions" Well, then, l throw you a
quire Of paper. Fill it all up now. 1 will
wait until you get all the names down.
20" you say, THAT is too much Well,
then, will just hand you sheet of letter
paper. Just fill up the four sides while We
are talking Of this matter with the names
OF the merciful institutions and the educe-
tional Institutions founded by inhdslity and
supported all along by inf 1elity, pronounced
against God and the Christian religion, yet
in favor of humanity.
go" you say, that is too much room;
we don't want a whole sheet of paper t0
write down the namesn Perhaps / had
better tear out one leaf from my memoran-
dunn book, and ask you to I'LL up both sides
of 1t with the names of such institutions.
90" 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. 60" you say, mot
quite as much as that" Well, then, count
them on the fingers of one hand. 'O,n
you say, I'VE don't want quite so much
room as that Suppose, then. yon halt and
count on one finger the name of any in
stitution founded by infidelity, supported
entirely by infldelity, pronounced against
God and the Christian religion, yet toiling
to make the world better. Not onel Not
one!
Is infdelity 80 poor, so starveling. SO
mean, so useless! Get out, you miserable
pauper of the universe! Crawl into some
rat hole of everlasting nothingness In
fidelity standing to-day amid the suffering,
grooming, dying nations and yet doing
absolutely nothing, save trying to impede
those who are tolling until they fall ex>
hausted into their graves in trying to make
the world better. Gather ND all the work,
ali the merciful work, that infidelity has
ever done, add it all together, and there i5
not so 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 a
jar of jelly for an invalid appetite on a
broken stand, and then knelt on the bare
foor, praying the mercy of Christ upon the
dying soul.
In1delIty scrapes no lint for the wounded,
bakes no bread for the hungry, shakes up
no pillow for the sick, rouses no comfort
for the bareft. gilds no grave for the dead
While Christ, our Christ, our wounded
Christ, our risen Christ, the Christ OF this
old-fashioned Bible-blessed be his glorious
name foreverl Our Christ stands this hour
pointing to the hospital. or to the asylum,
saying: II was sick and We gave me a
couch, was lame and ye gave me a crutch,
/ was blind and ye physicianed my eyesight,
| was orphaned and We mothered my soul,
was lost on the mountains and We brought
me home; inasmuch as ye did it to one of
the least of these, We did it to men
But thank God that this plague Of inf.
deity will lie STAYED. Many of those who
hear me now by the Holy Ghost upon their
hearts will cease to be scoffers and will be-
come disciples, and the day will arrive
when all nations will accept the scriptures.
The book is going to keep right on until the
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 manuscript, easily
consumed, like finder thrown into
the fire. When the fires of the last
day are kndled, some will burn on
this side, from Genesis toward Revelation,
amy Others will bu n on this side, from
revelations toward Genesis, and in all
6helr way they will not find a single chap
ter or a single verse out OF place That
will be the first time we can afford to do
the Book OF Genesis. descriptive of how
the world was made, when the world is
destroyedl What will be the use of the
prophecies when they are all fulflledg
What will be the use Of the evangeIistic or
Pauline des ription Of Jesus Christ
when we see. him face to face9
What will be the use of his
photograph when we have met him in
glory! Whan will be the use of the Book
of Reyea lou, standing as you will With
your foot on the CLASSY sea, and your hand
on the ringing harp, and your forehead
chapleted with eternal coronation, amid
the ametbystine and twelve-gated glories of
heaven? The emerald dasuing its green
against the beryl, and the beryl dashing its
blue against the sapphire, and the sapp ire
throwing its light on the jacinth, and the
jacinth dashing its fire against the chryso-
prassus, and you and l standing in the
glories of ten thousand sunsets.
