Are you school teacher2 Every
time the children come to ask {
question of you, Jesus Christ says
Come and learn of me, / will teacl
you things Plato never thought of
and Socrates knew nothing about,
Are you a lawyer? Every time Z
client sits by your side and says
"Will you represent me in this
case?" God says; "Man, have you
an advocate that will represent you
at the final bar of God2"
Are you saloon keeperH God
says "Man you have got to meet
this customer where there is no
counter between you, and no money
passed"
Are you a dry goods merchant?
Every'tlme you measure off a yard
of goods, God says; MAN | am
measuring off your days to you and
the scissors Of death will clip you
away from the living bye and bye, "
Not only does God call us in all
these ways, but he calls by his bles-
sed spirit that reproves the soul,
that stirs up the immortal nature
of men, This divine spirit pervades
this town tonight Men wonder
'why am I thus stirred?" 1t is the
divine spirit of Grace, moving upon
the conscience and hearts of the
people. thank God for this divine
spirit. Bless God, He is here to-
night; He is knocking at the door Of
your heart and ] pray you stay by
the conviction, 'tillit shall bring you
into'a better and nobler life. He
will bring life and peace and saliva
tion to you.
God also calls us by His precious
word. There is a call on almost ev-
cry page,
This precious book my mother
gave to me when | was little boy,
She told me it had guided her feet
like lamp, and when she came to
die she pillowed her head upon its
precious promises aud went home to
God.
He calls us by a living ministry,
Thank God for every minister, going
over this country preaching the
Word Of God We can never know
what this country would have been
without preachers
Lord Salisbury said Remove
the Salvation army from the city
Of London and you must increase
your police force four thousand
If that be true, how much must the
ministers of America stand for, IN
regulating, conserving force, upon
the children Of men?
You can never value these
preachers too highly, They arc
your friends, and they will stay by
you, Rally about these preachers,
There is no conflict between the
real evangelists and the pastors oi
this country, We simply go to hell
them to gather the fruit Of their
sowing, and the harvest of their
planting.
! know the Lord is in earnest
about saving us poor men, He
comes closer still; he calls us by his
providences, believe in the prov
licences Of God as much as | believe
! in the existence of God, He did
not create this world and roll it out
and leave it to chance The very
hairs Of my head are numbered, and
not a sparrow falls to the ground
| till Gods own hano has signed IL
death warrant
God never let any man sink down
to hell till he had exhausted his in
finite resources to save him, If the
preachers words don't move you,
God will work on you by His provi
dences. | believe that God work
on humanity by his divine prov
dences, to stir them to nobler, bet
ter things. Whenever you repent
he will let up, never knew OF a
case where God defaulted on fel.

God never came to your home to
touch a single loved one, that He
did not come with message OF sal
vation to you. by His providence

point, that am afraid not to dc
