up the four sides while we are talking Of
this matter, with the names of the merci-
ful institutions and the educational institu-
tons founded BY infidelity and supported
all along by infdeity, pronounced against
God and the Christian religion, yet in favor
Of humanity.
oh" you say, ''that is too much room :;
we don't want 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 1t with the names of such institutions.
oh you say. that would be too much
room; ! wouldn't want SO much room ~
that" Well. then, suppose you count them
on your ten fingers. Oh OIL say, not
quite SO much as that" Well. then, count
them on the fingers of one hand. ''Oh."
you say. I'VE 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 inideIity supported
entirely by infdelity, pronounced against
God and the Christian religion, yet toiIing

NOT oSEi NOT ONE!
Is intide lity 80 poor, SO starveling, so
mean, so useless Get out, you miserable
pauper of the universe Crawl into some
rat hole of everlasting norhingueSS. Inf
deity standing to-day amid the suffering,
grooming, dying nations and yet doing aosO-
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 infdelity has ever
done. add it all together, and there Is not
much nobility in il rs in the smallest bead
of that sister of charity who last night
went up The dark alley Of the town, put a
jar of Jelley for an invalid appetite on a
broken sta d, and then knelt on the bare
Hoor, praying the mercy OF Christ upon the
dying soul
Infdelity scrapes no lint for the wounded,
bakes no bread for the hungry, shakes up
no pillow for the sick. rouseS no comfort for
the bercft, gilds no grave for the dead.
While Christ, our Christ, our wounded
Christ, our risen Chris, the Christ Of this
old-fashiOned Bible-blessed be His glorious
name forever our Christ stands this hour
pointing 70 the hospital, or TO the asylum,
saying: Il was sick and We gave me u
couch, l was lame and We gave NE Z crutch,
] was blind AID ye phEsiciared my eye
sight, was orphaned and sc mothered my
soul, was lost on the mountains and ye
brought me home; inaSmuch as We did it TO
one Of the least of these, We did it to me-"
But l thank God that this plague Of inf
deity will be stayed. Many OF those who
hear NE now by the Holy Ghost upon their
hearts will cease to be sco3ars and viii
become disciples, and the day viii arrive
when all nations will aacept the Scriptures
The book IS going to keep right on until the
FIRES OF THE LAST DAY Arr. KISDLED.
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 u single chapter or 2 sin
gle verse out Of place. That viii 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
viii be the use of tn. prophecies, when
they are all fulfilled What Will be the use
OF the evangelisticsor Pauline description Of
Jesus Christ when we Sec him face 10 facet
What will be the use Of His photograph
wnen we have met Him in glory What
will be the use OF the book Of Revelation.
