"Yes, Willie, I do. Oh, Willie I have been waiting so long for some one to ask me to come to Christ! Why did you not do it before?n So today let us start to plead everywhere with Christian testi- mony; let us begin right in our own homes. Let us begin first and at once among those who are closest to us, as Andrew first sought his own brother to bring him to Christ.
 My friends, members of Jefferson Park church, I here now consecrate my life to a new work I am going back to the days and life which I used to live when I first entered the ministry. In those days I did not seek so much to comfort and please the members of my church as to win souls My only desire was to reach out for those who were outside of the church and who never had confessed the name of Jesus. Before I entered my pull pit I would get down on my knees and say, "Oh, God, let me speak the right word for that young man and woman whom l may never see aga.n until I meet them at thy throne!' Such is my purpose now; such is the purpose of my new as- sistant Brothers and sisters. we have been too long dwelling together in selfish fellowship. We have enjoyed each others society well. But to be happy together is not enough. Will you here and now clasp my hand in a holy purpose? Will you here and now move forward with me to seek out the strayed lcmr which is lost upon the mountain of sin? Will you go forth with me out into the storm, perhaps to battle against derision and sneers? Will you go in the name of Jesus Christ? Will you promise here and now to carry the gospel message to the great un- churched and to the sinful men and wo- men who are living under the shadows of our own doors? 4

DR. TALMACE'S SERMON.
BY THE REV. FRANK DE WITT TALMAeE, D. D.

In all probability they knew him. for he had been one of the beggars who took their stand near the temple gate. Every one who went to the temple knew him. "Who opened your eyes?" one of the learned doctors asked in surprise. No man ever lived before who, having been born blind, received sight on this side of the grave" When the young man an swered Jesus" the priests and their hirelings were beside themselves with rage They threatened him. They brow beat him. They communicated him. At last they entirely lost their reasoning ticaly cried aloudHROI ETAOILUUPJ faculties and common sense. They prac- tically cried aloud: We do not believe that Jesus opened those eyes Away with this fellow called Jesusl Away with him! Away with him!" But some of these learned Pharisees could not be put off by any such superficial condemnation, Methlnks I can hear a learned doctor say to some of his friends: q do not know about this. Perhaps we may have been wrong. Perhaps this new teacher after all is the promised Messiah. Certainly no other human being could ever work such miracles" And there was a division among them" the same kind of division which will occur among worldly men to- day if the bombshell of consecrated Christian testimony can only be hurled among them.
 Are We Ready to Give Testimony
 A practical application of this principle Is now facing us, one and all. Are we Christian men and women ready to give our Gospel testimony wherever we goi Are we ready to tell what Jesus Christ has done for us? Ready, even though 1t may bring upon us sneers and ridicule Ready, though 1t should involve persecu- tions and ostracisms? Ready as the young man of old was ready who. stood up and witnessed before the priests and the Pharisees, when he made a division | among them?
 | Would that the dumb spirit would come out of the lay members in the Christian | churches! Everywhere we hear the ques- tion being asked What Is the matter with our churches? Is it that the pulpit | Is losing its power?" Oh, no; the pulpit | is not losing its power. There are more
