his hands the crucifiX. until thousands
and tens Of thousands of devotees were
ready, in 1906, to follow this enthusi-
astic ascetic to Palestine as the ad-
vance guard of the crusaders. We
know that thousands upon thousands
of Cromarty miners used to hang upon
the words Of John Wesley in the early
mornings at o'clock, before their
days work began. We know that no
building was large enough to hold the
crowds who wanted to hear Moody.
Great halls had to be erected in Bos-
ton and New York and Chicago to hold
the huge audiences. The Philadelphia
depot on account of its great size had
to be used in place Of a church. Thou
sands upon thousands found Christ in
the revivals Of the seventeenth century
under the preaching of the Puritans.
Thousands upon thousands found
Christ in the Methodist revivals Of the
eighteenth century. Thousands upon
thousands found Christ in the first part
of the nineteenth century, when
Charles G. Finney had such power over
sinners that a dying blasphemer said,
Don't let Charles G. Finney preach
my funeral sermon, or he will preach
my soul into heaven in spite Of my
own desires"

Door sin sick brother, you have long
distance TO come back to God. But
YOU can come by divine grace lou
can come now. You can come as quick
" as the new converts Of the church
which Isaiah saw in vision came TO
the mercy seat. You can come Win u
suoerlative swiftness. You can come
with the lightning velocity Of a hylng
dove.
But why talk about Isaiah's church
of the future? Why caption this ser
mon with the title, The Coming Awak-
en;ngP When Isaiah saw this mlgrat'
ing dove and used it as an emblem was
he alluding only to future churchf

prophet was standing there on the
mountain of inspiration looking on on
what was to come he kept saying TO
himself. "Why is it not possible Tor

O woman, the greatest enemy Of
Jesus Christ today is not the inhdel

the man and the woman inside the
church who do not cooperate with
Jesus in his purpose to save the world
for Christ through the agency Of his
church. If we yield ourselves to his
will even the smallest and the most
insignificant can become mighty for
God, for, as Joshua hath said; "One

exceptional Of birds. Alfred Tennyson,
poet laureate of England, in beautl-
full rhythmic masterpiece once enun-
ciated the doctrine that multitudes can
make an object despised when it should
be admired. Said he;
Once in a golden hour I cast to earth a
seed.
Up there came fower-the people said.
To and fro they went through my garden
bower
And, muttering discomfort. cursed me and
my flower
Then It grew so tall It wore crown OF
light,
But thieves from DER the wall stole the
seed by night,
sowed it far and wide by every town and
Till all the people cried. Splendid is the
flower"
Read my little fable; he that runs may
read.
Most can raise the flowers now. for all
have got the seed.
And some are pretty enough, and some
are poor indeed,
And now again the people call 1t but
weed.
But though "black eyed Susans" or
the golden spore" or the ''blue eyed
violets" on account of their great mul-
titudes may be called a common flower
"a weed-the dove, In spite Of her
has never been called a
common bird. The dove always has
been and always will be the symbol
of purity, gentleness and love This
symbol was recognized in heather
times. Because the dove signified pu-
rity Venus had this bird as her en-
blem. Dean Stanley in relating his
travels writes thus about the
ruins Of Ascalon: "The temple erected
to the Syrian Venus is destroyed, but
the sacred dOves-sacred by innumer-
able legends of the spot and celebrated
there even as late as Eusebius-still
fll with their cooings the luxuriant
gardens which grow in the sandy hOl-
ows within the ruined walls"

g NInrk,n Of Yen1ce.

The symbol of the dove which Isaiah
uses to describe the church could not
be better illustrated than by the spec
tacle in the great square of Venice
which is fanked on the one side by the
famous Cathedral of ST. Mark. With
but few exceptions l have seen all the
great cathedrals of the world. l have
seen some as White as that Of st. Pc
ter's, whose walls, even though they
may be hundreds Of years old, seem TO
be as white as the whitest of alabas-
ter. have seen some dark as an Afri-
cans skin, others red as an Indians.
I have seen some cathedrals which i'm
pressed me by their gigantic size. The
higher l climbed on the roof Of Mil
ans greatest structure the more my
awe and bewilderment. have seen
some that were perfect poems in stone
But take it all in all, though it cost
not nearly as much as some others, the
most impressive cathedral l ever saw
was St Marks of Venice.
Like unto natural scenery, st. Mark s
is the Yellowstone park, not the Yo-
semitic or the Gothard pass, among the
cathedrals. 1t impressed me not with
its size so much as its exquisite color |
ings, its roof, its walls, Its arcades
all blended as the cOlOrs of a rainbow
frozen in stone. The tops Of its lofty |
columns were not hideOus with grimy |
gargoyles. They were chiseled into |
flower gardens, which grew at your
feet or with their leaves hung down |
from above. These different flower |
gardens were so perfectly chiseled that
it seemed as If the winds, sweeping up
from the Venetian canals were gently |
swaying them as the rosebushes bend !
ed under the touch Of summer breeze
In your fathers garden.
Over the front doorway were the
four massive bronze horses which Ma
poleon carried away to Paris after his
in Italy, but which the over
throw Of the BOnaparte dynasty re-
stored to their places. With arched
leck and sinewy limb like creatures of
life they seemed just ready for a bat
.lefield charge OF a run over the hills
lfter the hounds or a gentle caress by
mistress or chivalric knight. There,
within those walls, the chancel and au-
iitorium blend in such perfect har-
nony that when I stood before the al
ar's picture of the dying Christ I felt
or the first time in a European cathe-
lral that / was in the presence of God
nd in the place of prayer.

Gods Feathered Loved Ones.

But, though l saw many places in
the Venice cathedral that entranced
me, after all, my greatest lesson learn
ed there was outside the cathedral
walls, and not within. learned that
lesson there not from the cold stones
Of a building, but from the warm
hearts of living doves. There, from
behind the towers and from within the
recesses down from the roof and the
four great bronze horses, from pillars
and vestibules. the doves gather around
you by the hundreds. They came as
fearlessly to my side as my little chill
dren might come. They perched on my
shoulder, on my hat They futtered
over my head. They crowded by the
hundreds at my feet to eat Of the food
had ready for them. As they fiutter-
ed about me said to myself. would
that Gods sinful children might here
gather about these church doors as l
see my Gods little feathered loved
ones" When l spoke these words in
voluntarily started. said to myself.
why will not Gods sinful children
thus come to Gods sanctuaries2 2" Did
not Isaiah in vision see them coming?
Shall they not come? VIII they not
come now If the Christian church men,
bers feed them with the "bread of
hfe," as am feeding these birds with
little crumbs? Yes, they will. They
will, II we Christian church members
only live right and offer to the outside
suffering world the right kind Of d.
vine sustenance. Will not you and I, o.
church members, by our examples and
welcome and gospel food, make Isai-
abs vision a possibility now? Will not
you and I. as followers Of Christ, beck
on the sinners to him, and they will
come as doves come to their windows.

In the first place, let me say that
such a movement as this, foreseen by
the prophet and prefgured under the
symbol of a flight of doves, is in ac-
cord with the record Of history. Again

which have brought into the church
vast numbers at one time Since the
day Of Pentecost, when 5000 were con-
verted under the preaching Of the apOs-

movements. How many were won to
