DsIirhtsdIy 20 Bishop Andrews
Thrilling E1oquence, Powerful Logic
and Mastery Oratory.
Whenever you hear that Methodist
Episcopal Bishop Is going to preach,
you can estimate 1t will be 0 safe In,
vestment OF time to go and hear him.
IL appears that 1t takes developed
power OF man coupled with Gods
power to attain that position.
Bishop Il. q. Andrews d. D., LII D.,
of New York, has come to this State
| to settle the war between Presiding
Elder ]. A. b. Wilson, d. D., and the
Peninsular Methodist by pulling out
of the Conference which ever ono
makes the most money off the Church
by fighting Christians.
e. Church, the Bishop took for his
text the 18th verse of the last chapter
in Mark: And He said uuto them:
Go ye into all tho world, and preach
the Gospel to every creature"
L This was the final, irreyocable
and Interchangeable command of our re-
surrected Lord to His church. There
is no time for hesitation, question or
delay. This marching order of God
to His church must be obeyed until
every person on the face Of the Earth
HAS 0ObDel.
The preacher gave summing up Of
the life OF Christ.
ii. The greatness OF this mission be.
speaks the greatness Of its author.
The speaker gave general view OF
the people and their government at the
time OF Christ's advent on earth. In
three and half years the Saviour ut
tered greater thought and unfolded
greater plan than had ever before or
since been heard Of. He swept away
all race and other distinctions and pur.
posed a universal empire. Only one
thing is more wonderful than our
Savtours proposition, and that is that
it is rapidly coming to pass.
III. Be pleased brethren. to see that
the command OF Christ puts into our
hands the noblest and greatest work
to make known to all the people of
The world that instead OF gods many
there is one eternal infinitely knowing
and good God-God as Father shin
ing out of the face of Jesus Christ his
Son. The orator summarized the
Gospel and then the work OF its
author, Jesus Christ, living in the
heart and life Of Christian.
Upon the Good News he made eli
max on climax in strongest contrast
with speculative thought on money
worldly philosophy. II you first set
the inner life in the heart of man right
all the moral reforms that are genuine
will be found in the retinue OF the Cos
pel's progress.
The minister here drew a vision of
the condition of people uninfluenced
by the Gospel in even its reflected
rays.
Az. It is the glory of the 10Th CEN
tury that 1t has oheyed Christs great
and final Gospel command better than
any previous century.
The Bishop here summed the won
derful Inventions, discoveries, devel-
opments and progress of this CEN
fury, and clearly set forth the Cos
peIs development and progress in re-
lation to the whole world as the great
est OF them all. One hundred years
ago there were only two foreign mis-
olons; one a mere semblance both 80
small as scarcely to have been heard
OF by the Christian world. 1t was
only hundred years ago this very
year that Carey. with a few helpers,
went up the Gauges river to Singa-
pore, India, and started what was
practically the beginning OF modern
Christian missions as now carried on.
Then we were prepared to teach the
world Christianity in only fifty differ
ent languages. Now we are doing IL
in five times as many. or two hundred
and fifty different dialects. The mill
tant spirit OF carrying the Gospel all
over the Earth has wonderfully in
creased. .M
V. This grandest plan Of the text can
be executed by all the Christians in the
world, if they each and all please to
do ii and do all they can, SO that chill
dren now born will soc it's consumma-
ton. Here followed still another
grand summary Of the facilities and
rapidity OF travel, and of communica-
ton with every people on the face of
tho earth SO wonderful in cur day and
generation.
Tho development of missionary
methods and resources for getting a
hold upon the people of the world are
quito as remarkable.
The Asbury congregation were dem
onstrative and greatly delighted by
the grand gospel Grafton which was
Il markablo as an aggregation of logi-
cal, eloquent and succinct summaries.
They gave the better part of five hun
dred dollars to the cause of Foreign
Missions, and propose to give about
live hundred dollars more, making one
thousand dollars as their years con-
tribution.
