The Present Condition.


A noted southern educator some tim,
ago bluntly said, 1T is often far easiel
for man to sign a thousand dollar
check for foreign missions than it is
for him to speak a Christian word o1
encouragement to the boOtblack boy
cleaning his shoes on the street cor
ner. That is a very wise saying. But
l carry the principle still further. II
is often far easier for a Christian lady
to get up church fair in the interests
OF foreign missions or to read a paper
before that society upon the FilipinOs
or the Chinese or Siamese than it is to
go to the family which lives in the fat
above her and ask them if they love
the Lord Jesus Christ. Ought such a
condition ever to exist? 1t is about
time for some of us to learn to sing
with the right spirit Bishop Heber's
grand old gospel hymn:
II you cannot cross the ocean
And the heather lands explore.
You can find the heather nearer,
You can help them at your door.
My brother living in Chicago, do you
not know that there are within radius
of three blocks of your house scores
and scores of families who never hear
the nanfe of Jesus spoken in their
homes except in blasphemy? Do you
not know that within a radius of six
blocks of this church, every Sunday
night while l am preaching, scores and
scores of young men and women pass
in and out of the fatal doors of the sa-
looms and places of evil resort? Some
Of us are foolish enough to think that
the haunts of Satan are open only six
days of the week; that on the seventh
day Satan rests and shuts up shop and
says to his hirelings. my agents and
servants, let us allow God to open his
churches on the Sabbath, and we will (
rest" No. The churches nay be open- |
ed one day of the week. but the Satan
ic haunts are never shut. Night and /
day the busy fingers of death are reach |
ing. always reaching. after more vic /
tins. Like the quicksands of the far
east, this Satanic destroyer keeps swal-
lowing down the unfortunate. and he
never seems to have enough. 'AIore.
more. moreP' continually cry the evil
spirits. "Give us more human blood
to quench our unquenchable thirst?'
Now, my Christian friends. while l
rejoice in foreign missions and would
not abate your interest in them want
to ask you this pertinent question: Do
you think we should allow our concern
for souls 10000 miles away to monopo-
lie our efforts? While we are seeking
them do not let US overlook the danger
Of those who are living in sin by our
own door. Do you think that the Sa-
means and the Australasians and the
Maoris and African negroes should be
my more precious in Gods sight and
n ours than the man or the woman

tan testimony might be unloosed by
our own firesides among our loved
ones, as well as among the strangers

who is so anxious about the souls of

/ noble man of God named Rev. Will

me one day he said that the sweetest
moment of all his life, not excepting
his own conversion, was when he was
abe to lead his own venerable father
TO the foot of the cross. His father was
moral and, from a worldly stand
point, good man, but not a protesting
Christian, and though he had son in
the ministry, yet no one for years had
ever asked the father to give himself
in love to the Lord Jesus Christ. But
one day Rev Mr.. McCrea. after he had
been five years in the ministry. came to /
his father and said: Father. do Won
not want to become Christian? Do
you not want to take mothers Christ
and my Christ as your Christ? Do you
not want me to pray with you now?"
The tears started from the old mans
eyes; his lips quivered. He shook with
emotion as he answered: Yes, Willie.

about whose personality you never care
until you see a black Grape hanging
upon the opposite door? Oh, man, if
you had the true love of Jesus Christ
in your heart, you would act differently
toward your unknown neighbor. You
would enter his home for Jesus sake,
with at least the same intensity as a
life insurance agent hunts up men
and women for his insurance COM
pany. You would enter the strangers
home, near to ycIr door, with at least
the same earnestness as if you had to
sell few books in order to buy your
babies some bread. No man can truly
love his God with all his heart and soul
and mind unless at the same time he
loves his neighbor as himself, and no
Christian man can truly love his neigh
Dor unless he is personally interested
in his neighbor's eternal salvation.
