SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK.
Rev. Mr.. Reynolds at Chestnut St. Church

At 8 p. m. yesterday, Rev. Mr. hey
nolds, tho celebrated Sunday school work.
er, spoke 10 large congregation at
Chestnut street church. Mr. Reynolds
said, in substance:
In q wonderful psalm David praises
God for taking him out of the horrible
pit mirey clay and putting his feet on
rock. II Queen Victoria should taxe
convict from prison and give him free
dom 1t would be an act of mercy. 10
adopt him into the royal family would
be an act of marvellous love. Such love
has God shown US. When princes have
lost their thrones and kings passed away
then our title as sons of the King Will
be still intact. But we are saved from
the pit to do something. The King of
Kings has conferred the great honor up
on us OF being co-laborers together with
him. What high honor from the Lord
OF Lords to one of us to be allowed to
be ambassadors Of Christ to lost
world. Now what are you doingP Are
you diligent about your business OF am
bassa Tor? An American ambassador in
foreign country spent his time in stock
speculation. He was recalled In disgrace.
We are diligent enough in business.
We are not fervent in spirit, serving the
Lord. I am not q doctor, Rev., only q
business man and come to you to talk
business. 1t is not the language of son
FOR fhoco
things, my business takes all my time. +"
The greatest business of all is to serve
God. Jesus came to the world on busi
ness. He taught His own word. Then
who are the best ones to teachP Why, the
young. The greatest work in this world
today is to get hold of the children.
Why? Because it is, before the devil gets
at them. More than three-quarters OF
all that are, Christians today were con i.
verified in their youth. / believe IN re-
formation; but | believe a thousand
times more in formation. 1t is the NOR
and religious education Of the people
that is to save the nation. Do We want
wealth? We are afraid Of a superfuity
OF it, which would be a CURSE. Robert
g. Ingersoll was a neighbor of mine.
He would not live in town I knew,
where the Bible was taught. He "would
rather live in hell tirst!" The Sunday
school teaches greater truths than ths
common schools, truths that last for
eternity.
Today there are in the United States
$50, 600 Sunday schools; !, 400, 900 teach
srs; 10000, 900 scholars, and most of them
using the same lesson. And vet there are
&c, 600, 600 under 30 years of age in this
country. Take ont the Catholic portion
and we still have millions out Of the
Sabbath school.
In Maine nearly one-half of the popula.
ton under 20 are out of the Sabbath
school, My friends, God S voice calls you
into this work.
Mr.. Reynolds closed with an eloquent
appeal to business men to interest them
selves in the work.
Mr.. Reg nolds will address mass meet-
ing of teachers and scholars from sew
eral parts of the county at meeting to
be held this evening at 7.8O IN the Chest
nut street church.
