shOts-mr. Cell Declares that He
is an Auerican-PersonaI Work
Required in Spreading Gospel.

There has been a marked increase
IN the attendance ar the Cell revival
now being held in this city The
growth in interest manifested from
all quarters during the past few DAYS
demonstrated TO those in charge OF
the meetings that the lecture rooms
of Central Union church were made
quate
The services. of yesterday evening
were held in the main auditorium of
the church. At the conclusion of the
song service Mr.. Cell took up his sub
ject with his usual dash and spirit.
One OF the characteristics of The
speaker is the manner in which ne
delves down to the center of things.
There seemed to be no time lost in
skimming over the outer crust. Mr.
Cell congratulated those present Cor
turning out 10 the gathering He ex-
pressed great pleasure over the fact
that the people of Honolulu were
gradually breaking away from lives
completely wrapped up in CONNER
cialism, and manifested slight lean
ings toward religious matters
Il haven't come to you with a sor-
rowful tale" declared the speaker in
his impromptu salutatory. There is
no need for the Christian to go about
with sad and melancholy mien. It
doesn't fit his high and exalted sta
ton. Why, when | was conducting &
series of revivals in a town in New
York state. there was one fellow who
hung back as the people filed out Of
the church at the close of the meet
ing He was one of those fat and jolly
looking fellows to whom most any
body would be tempted to tell their
troubles. I looked from where |
stood. Took but the smallest frac-
ton of a minute to decide upon the
proper course to pursue to carry the
gospel into the inner recesses OF mis-
big heart l sailed UP to that fellow.
Gave him a hearty slap upon the
broad portion of his back Then
sang out in merry fashion, 'How's
your liver?' Well, to make a long
story short and sweet, won him over
and he made a valuable addition 10
the better element to be found in that
community today"
From the text HE driveth furious
ly.'' Mr.. Cell succeeded in holding
the rapt attention of his auditors from
beginning to end While departing
to slight extent from the procedure
of his services of the evening before.
Mr.. Cell wove many valuable truths
in and around a biblical narrative in
which reference was made to the pro-
verbal dashing Workmanship of
Jehu.
A preacher who does not succeed
in hitting his mark after a second
or third attempt, that man isn't any
good spoke out Mr.. Cell. Il want
to give the people of this city some
solid shots. and l guess they will do
no harm. either"
I'VE who profess religion and VINO
fail to obey the implicit commands Of
the Lord their God, in telling their
friends of the inestimable benefits OF
religion. are far worse than the de-
mons themselves"
There is no city in the land the
size of Honolulu where the business
men are more willing to accept and
adopt new methods for the conduct
of their affairs Is there the same
desire for advancement in spiritual
matters2 1t should be so. | do not
stand here to censure Deny it as
you may. there is a certain GOODNESS
in religious circles which is detri-
mental to success. Ever hear Of hui
man icicIes? They are the people who
at times throw out a repelling infiu-
ence. and thus keep others away
from them.
Il am an American straight through.
and the fact that a man is well forti-
fed with money bags does not make
him one whit better than his less for
tunate neighbor and brother who has
to make his way through life with
more moderate means.
Personal work was strongly advo-
Gated by Mr.. Cell in the carrying for
ward of the gospel He emphasized
the fact that the time was short IN
deed. The last fellow is going down
To darkness in this city. What are
the Christian people going to do about
il?
You NAV say YOU love the teach
ings OF Christ That is all well aud
good But. cant you do more2"
as there a servant in your house
hold who is in need of salvation?
Such a person can and has before now
accepted the religion OF Jesus Christ :"
In conclusion Mr.. Cell made strong
plea for the exertion OF Kindness He
claimed that II made life all the pleas
anter 10 live Keep out OF the ruts :"
said the speaker resuming his seat
upon the rostrum.
Mr. Cell has announced that he will
have something 10 sav concerning the
saloons Of Honolulu before he closes
the present series OF meetings
