His Iabors in Eel PasO.-Over Eighty Peo-
pie Convereed.-MeetinGs Continue
Evangelist Burnett closed his labors
in this city with a rousing meeting
last night, and special meeting this
morning in Trinity church. Between
eighty and 100 souls have experienced
a Change of heart, as the result of his
visit here, and many others have been
led to consider seriously their future
welfare.
Mr.. Burnett spoke in the morning to
the regular Trinity congregation, as
the other churches held services In
their own edifices: but in the evening,
the Baptist. First Methodist and
Christian churches came over to Trim
itv in union service, so that it was
.:standiug room only" before the SER
vice began. In the morning. the
evangelist talked about choice of God
as matter of preference
and as matter of service. He
explained that no neutral person
could be a child of God. You must
either be child of God or child OF
sin God is merciful, but he must also
be a god of justice. If surgeon re-
fused to dress wound lest it might
hurt the patient. he would be doing
the man a greater injury than the
pain of the oper alton would occas on.
If dentist refused to pull tooth lest
It might cause the suffer er pa1p, he
would be acting VI Justly. God Is the
father of good, the devil is the father
of the bad, and who, pray, Is the father
of that which is neither good nor bal:
The neutral persons. or persons who
try to be neutral are persons who Dor
row the livery of heaven to serve the
devil in, are the hardest kind OF people
to reach with the gospel, and those in
the church who are not spiritual cause
the evangelist the greatest amount of
trouble They seem to bring with them
to church sort of spiritual lightning
rod, and the gospel bolt is run off
into the ground without taking effect
on the individual. The chances against
the salvation of such people are SO to
one against them. The great trou BILE
with the church today, is the indiffer-
ence of its members Oh, for panacea
for this dry rot. You can't have any
'spiritual benefits without serving God
than you can secure cor mercial adj
vantage without transacting business
successfully. Better be failure in
everything this world can give than to
be a poor christian. Ard by the way,
a man who is good christian is gen
orally successful in other things. GU
cannot be of much account as church
mem Der unless you can show yourself
worth something to the faith, and save
others from the vast deep OF sin and
woe

People were sitting around on the
floor, anywhere to get within range of
the preachers voice, and the general
attention was held until the close of
the benedictiou. Mr.. Burnett spoke
from proverbs XXIX:1: ''he who being
often reproved hardeneth his neck,
shall suddenly be destroyed, and that
without remedy" The speaker said
he had spoken nine times that day and
was rather tired. He had found no OPP
position here to his work, only the in
difference of some, and he had noticed
it quiet and orderly about town. He
was obliged to the city papers for wha
help they had given him. He
had been a newspaper man
himself for five years, running
a daily and two weeklies, one of the
latter being religious. Toe evangelist
believed in prin' er's ink; it could do
lot of good This year the speaker had
held one meeting in twenty he had
called upon to hold, and aft r. twenty
sc ven years hard labor in the Lords
viueyard he bad felt the need of ply
steal rest. He wanted to write three
books. one of sermons, one of illustra-
ton and anuecdOte. and one of miscel-
laneous matter. But Mr.. Burnett said
he would always be a preacher, and he
hoped to return to Ell PasO to labor.
The hardening of the neck referred to
in the text, meant hardening of the
heart, an indisposition to repent and
turn to God. God does not kill or
damu folks, and if ma goes to hell
he goes there of his own vOlition, and
God is no more to blame than the
Judge and the jury are murderers who
convict and sentence murderer to be
hung for his crimes. If there is nc
penalty for wrong doing, there is
no regard for virtue. Everybody
will enjoy the better life if
they obey. The long-sutfering mother
is .aot so long-suffering as Almighty
God, See how he bore with the Jews
in the wilderness when they disobey ed
him and complained as often as they
| d d and tried again aud again the pa
thence of the Lord, their God. Being
Christian Will prolong mans days.
WHY, the people who live the longes,
are clergyuen. In the course If his
remarks the preacher deprecated the
use of drugs on death beds to desden
pain. He, himself, wanted to go into
the presence of his creator sober, if he
was in pain, than to die intoxfc .tet
meIely to relieve physical suffering
He also spoke strongly against playing
cards or giving wing to drink 10 the
home. Parents little reckoned tha

kinter garten gambling and drinking
bells by so doing, and were setting tn
feet of their children on the roae t,

The Christian is a New Man.

AT the Presbyterian church yester-
day M Jrning, Rev. 81. w. Moore spoke
as follows:
Where in all the bible is there a
more thrilling interesting scene than
in the third chapter of ST. Joseph
| where it tells of N;codemus the old
man, cultured aud religious coming to
Christ by night to talk on religion.
How startled aud taken aback was he
when Jesus told him that he with all
his culture and blue blood had to be
born from above before he could enter
the kingdom of God. Morality is not
enough. Except your righteousness
exceed the righteousness OF the Scribe
and Pharisees ye cannot enter the
nature, a changed will, new heart.
A man may be moral and yet selfish,
proud, bitter tongued, soothing.
Morality cannot take the place of re-
ligiOn any more than neatness in dress
can take the place of courage.
Morality does not require one to for
give he gospel does. Morality does not
God, but the gospel does. Morality
does not require one to be self
sacrificing or to pray or have re-
verence for God, but the gospel does.
Is there not something vitality wrong
with life which neglects the heart;
the soul, that lives on through the
happiness of the next life did not de-
pend on the way he lived this one.
Who lives as though he were going to
| go to bed at night, get up in the morn
| ing, buy and sell in this world forever
This new life in Jesus Christ is the
Development of the whole man
First the blade, then the ear, then
the full corn in the ear" Says Jesus
it is gradual. Yet when the will is
changed tn S much is ipstanta ne Gus
Some men come to it by quiet thinking,
others by high feeling. 1t consists
in change of will and then follows a
unto me that ye might have life"
says Jesus. A revival of religion
where body of people are all think
irg on one subjec the moral spiritual
reformation of the individual has q
mi hty transforming power. The
history of the church is history OF
revivaIs. Yet there is another method,
the hand picked method which we dare
not discountenance. Necodemus was
hand picked. This new life in Christ
| gives vitality to the soul and motive
| power to life that nothing else can give.
| 1t is the motherhood of civ liza iOn
The one born of God has new sound
| to his voice, new touch to his hand, a
new sympathy in his heart. new stars
| in his sky.
Have you this life? Are you cut
| waiting your whole manhood or woman
hood? Do you love God? Do you be-
lieve in Christ as your Savior? If so
you have in you the ageless life; a life
death cannot touch. Death to such a
one is hanging up the coat ard hat

the banquet hall. Yes, you my broth
err, my friend must be born from above
before you can enter the kingdom OF
God, Will you not think about this?

TRINITY METHODIST CHURCH.

ming the church bells are calling
| "Come, Come, Comet but at funeral
the bell says .'Gone! Gone! Gone"
There is no consideration of the gospel
call at death. The speaker said he was
once called to the bedside of a dying
sinner. He had but few hours to
live, and told Mr.. Burnett that he had
sent for him, not for spiritual consola-
tion, but to do the talking himself.
He said, 81 want to tell you what the
sin against the Holy Spirit means, the
sin that has no forgiveness either in
this world or the world to come.
When a young man l had strong incli-
nations towards the Christian faith,
but kept putting off the time
vival after revival until L came
to BE- looked upon as a
hard case spiritually. Blu; finally there
came to our town a noted preacher who
lust swept the place with his power,
and scores of the sinners were con-
verified. 1 made up my mind to accept
the offers of salvation, and stepped
down towards the altar in the church.
My wife aud children, all christians,
hung on my neck weeping with joy,
and the general expression was He has
yielded at last But there was wick
ed man standing not far off who bet 50
with another evil fellow that L would
not 90 to the altar. | beard what they
said, and the sneer of the one at my
step. and turning in my tracks, L put
on nv hat and marched out of the door.
As went, | could feel the presence Of
the spirit leaving me just as much as
man can feel anything, and from that
time to this, thirty years, L have cot
felt TIE slightest disposition to seek
Christ. 1t will do you no good to pray
for me, but you are a preacher, and
will preach the gospel for many years
to come. So [ have called you in to
give you a correct version of the sin
against the Holy Spirit, so you may tell
it to Others
Mr.. Burnett also told of how young
man had applied to several civic orders
for admission, but had been refused
because, as he was told, be bad no
character. Finally Christian people
got hold of him and he found that it
did not need character to get into
the kin gdom of God. The Savior took
him as he was, without character and
gave him one.
The preacher closed with a pathetic
appeal to the unconverted PRESENT. to
RENE ber the prayers of Christian
mothers and accept the Savior while
vet he was near. He also called upon
the upconverted who wished to find
the eternal life to come out and give
him their hands. At this juncture
three Young men left the meeting with
out coming forward, ard three others
came forward and were warmly wei
coined. The attendance was quite
large.
