Rev. Frank Dewitt Talmage yester-
day preached upon 1.-THE Lessons of the
Present Revival" His text was: 1.-THE
time has come for thee to reap" He
said in part:
zone of the greatest revivals the
world has ever seen is now taking
place in our midst. Revivals are
everywhere. But nowhere in this CEN
tury has there been a greater revival
than we are having now in our
churches and public halls. What are
the great lessons here pressing upon
us? First, the Lords work is a busi-
ness. 1t is not hysteria. 1t Is not "A
few holy actions. 1t is not lifting your
head above the clouds so that the mists
blind your eyes and chill your enthu-
siasms of what you ought to be on
earth. 1t is not a few spasms and a
few temporary gospel gymnastics. 1t
Is a business. And Gods business
should be and must be, In order to be
truly successful, the most far reaching
and never letting up of all kinds of
businesses.
"When these evangelsts started in
their work. as far as human agency
was concerned, they had almost a per-
feet system of machinery, DIR. r. A.
Walton was the advance agent who
taught us how to perfect this ma
chinery. First, the meetings were sys-

CHAPLAIN KlDDER TELLS
OF GREAT WALES REVIVAL
Thousands Are Being Converted Dur
ing Religious Campaign In
Old Country

0i0 SObuhiy
1.-THE Great Revival in Wales" was
the topic of Chaplain Kidder at the
meeting of the Strangers. Friend So
ciety yesterday afternoon. He said in
part:
"The eyes Of the Christian world are
just now turned upon the great Welsh
revival. All Wales is aflame with the
most wonderful revival Of modern
times. Already more than 10000 people
have confessed conversion and have
been enrolled as church members. The
Almighty God is manifesting himself
among the people; there can be no de-
bate concerning this revival. It's re-
suits are too evident, too practical and
too valuable for any one to say aught
against it.
1.-THE first thing noticeable about the
movement is the utter absence of plan
of human devices or human fore
thought. There is no preaching, no
order of services, no hymnbooks, no
choir, no organ, no collections and no
advertising. The services are simply
singing, praying and testimony. 1t
has been given out to the world that
young Evan Roberts is the great evan
gelist and moving spirit; but he never
breaches, but simply sings, prays and
testifies, just like all the others. While
he is talking, If some one else starts
in singing, he gives way, or if they
have a more important message than
he, he yields to them"

EVAN NGELISTIC TEACHINGS
SEVERELY CRITICISED
"Savinq Grace of Good Morals" SUBJ
ject of Rev. Mr.. CanfieId's


The Rev. H. L. Garfield, d. D., at
the Universalist service in Cumnock
hall Sunday morning, severely criti-
cised some of the teachings of the
evangelists. His subject was "The
Saving Grace of Good Morals" and
theory that something more than a
moral life was necessary to salvation.
He said in part:
"It has been asserted oftentimes by
religious teachers that moral man is
worse man, more dangerous to the
ther from salvation than an immoral
man, an open violater of all moral
precepts. There is a disposition to
make marked distinction between
morality and religion, and to maintain
that morality of itself has no promise
of salvation.
much of the laundering upon these
themes comes from the mistaken ideas
current regarding salvation. Salvation
is not something that will come to us
when we die, in the form Of an unalter-
able destiny. Salvation comes in the
form of any influence affecting our
lives for good, making us truer juster,
kinder. more patient, loving, trustful,
helpful and happy Salvation is, not a
thing that comes all at once and in
it's fullness. 1t Is matter of growth;
IT is progressive.
"Is there salvation in morality?
Yes. Every man who dares to think
for himself, and who is capable of
thinking nationally, knows that there
is salvation in morality.
There is no clearer witness to the
prevalence and integrity Of divine law
than the fact that right moral con-
duct begets confidence and assurance.
The good mans confidence Is not car
nal security but is a justified conf
dence. He does not feel called upon
to repent of his morality; he is not
sorry, and ought not to be, for any
good thing he ever did. No honorable
or manly act of his life should make
him afraid; no kindness shown to
another should cause him to tremble
A good man shall be satisfied in
himself"

three or four pews had their overseers,
or gospel sentinels. No sooner was a
hand raised for prayer than Chris
tian worker was by that persons side
to lead him or her to Christ.
Then, not satisfied with all this, one
night General J. Wilbur Chapman Qor
he is a general Of mem marshaled to-
gether all his forces. for grand
charge into the citadels of sin. That
night the Christian evangelists and fol-
lowers came from all over the city.
Down into the saloons and places Of
evil resort they went. Everywhere the
right hand Of Christian brother was
extended.
But, lastly, I learn from the work
of these evangelists here seen in Los
Angeles, lesson which ought to make
us one and all ashamed of ourselves.
If the churches of the Lord Jesus
Christ would join together their forces
each fall and do what we have done
to make a conquest for Christ, we
could win exactly the same triumphs
for the Master year in and year out as
we have won for the Lord Jesus at
the beginning Of the year 1905 in our
beloved city. The mightiest mission OF
J. Wilbur Chapman and his associates
is not TO bring men to Christ, but to
teach us ministers and church officers
to keep on doing as we have done this
year.
but the trouble: Unless mighty
evangelist like ]. Wilbur Chapman
comes along to unite the different
churches into one, we will not be
united. Every sectarian minister
wants to hoe in his own sectarian row,
whereas, in fact and in truth, there is
but little difference in those rows. The
reason am a Presbyterian is not be-
cause 1 dislike the Methodist church.
1 am a Presbyterian because 1 was
born one and went to the Brooklyn
Tabernacle Sunday school. If my
father had been Bishop T. Dewitt Tai
mage of the Methodist church I think I
would today be Methodist preacher.
why is your wife a Presbyterian?
Perhaps she is one because you stole
her. as / did my wife, from the Epis-
copal chancel at the marriage altar"

WRONG IDEALS OF YOUNG
MEN ARE POINTED OUT
Desire to Be Considered "A Good
Fellow" Wrecks Many Lives


One of the most enthusiastic of last
nights district meetings was the one
at the Advance Buggy company build
ing, where DR.. Walton spoke.
DIR. Walton took as his subject "a
Good Fellow" and portrayed modern
happy lucky individual of today, the
beau ideal of many young men. He took
as his text Second Samuel, 1892: us
the young man Absolam safe?"
1.-The concern of the parent for the
child, the inquiry as to his safety, the
heart aches, the sleeplessness, the agon-
ising prayers tell the story of the
mothers heart and often of the faith
er's. If you know young mans am
bitions you can answer with regard
to his safety.
"a good fellow is that man who
lives only to gain the cheap esteem of
his fellows, not for character, not for
truthfulness, honesty of purpose, but
simply one desirable to spend an idle
moment with"
In the line of his discourse the speak
er gave the story of Absolam, the third
son of David. He told of his pride in
his hair. He is first heard of by his
half brother. Two years later he is al
lowed to return to Jerusalem, and from
that time starts on a career of being a
"good fellow" to any and every man
whom he meets.
"To build up a worthy character, to
make atonement for his great sim to
show loyalty to his father and to his
kingdom, none of these things inter-
ested him. 1t was self interest and
self Indulgence that was the aim Of
his whole life.

crowds who throng to hear the evan
gelists.
mot even standing room" was the
statement that greeted all those who
sought to gain admittance after 2:3O
to the Temple auditorium, where the
mems meeting was held, or to Simpson
auditorium, where the women congre-
gated. Previous to this time the
streets in front of the buildings were
black with people waiting for the doors
to be opened.
The work of the past week seems to
have increased the enthusiasm of all
the workers, and this in turn is being
impaired to the audiences.
AT the mems meeting Rev. w. E.
Biederwolf spoke on the white Life"
to an audience which he declared
would be an inspiration to any man.
At the women's meeting, where Rev.
Henry Ostrom spoke, even the aisles
were invisible because of the number
OF women who were ready to take any
sort of 4 seat rather than miss hear
ing the message which he brought to
them.
Rev. C. C. Sohaeffer had one of the
largest audiences of little tots that
has greeted him since his arrival, and
the sanfe large audiences were reported
from all the evening district meetings.
In several instances it was necessary
to have overflow meetings. and the sue
cess of these is reported to have been
beyond all expectations.

Story of christs Life Is vividIy Told
at Afternoon Meeting

One of the most beautiful and inn
pressive of the evangelistic services
was that at which the women were
present yesterday afternoon, when
Rev. Henry Ostrom spoke to an audi
ence Of more than two thousand.
The speaker is at once one of the
most gentle and the most erratic of the
speakers now in the city. He is small
in stature, but has a heart and head
which evidently counteract this, and
there is certain pathos in his voice
Los Angeles herald., 1905-02-06

In the legend of st. James, the Spanish
for which is San Diego, we read that
in the year of our Lord 939 King
Ramirez vowed to deliver CASTLE from
the shameful tribute imposed upon it
by the Moors. This tribute was a hun
dred virgins delivered annually. Gath
ering together his troops, he defied the
Moors and challenged them to battle.
"The Moorish host was charged upon
the plains of Clavijo, and the battle
was long and furious, but the king
was defeated and compelled to retreat.
AS night drew on he flung himself on
his couch, sad and tired at heart, and
soon was in the midst of troubled
sleep. While he slept, he dreamed, and
in vision st. James appeared unto
him, bidding him hope on and renew
the fight next morning, primising to be
with him and assuring him of victory.
"On waking the king related his glo-
rious vision first to his officers and then
to his army, and ordering thestrumpet
to sound the battle Charge, he and his
soldiers, inspired with fresh courage.
rushed to the fight. Suddenly st. Iago
was seen just before them, mounted
upon magnificent white charger and
holding aoft pure white banner, and
he led them on until a decisive victory
was gained and the field was strewn
with the dead of the Moorish host, AMI
ever since that day "Santiago!" has
been the war cry of the Spanish army.
But what are hundred virgins an
nually compared with the thousands
! who are sacrificed every year to the
| british passion of lustful men? And
I call upon you, in the name of a
mightier than San Iago, the mightiest
purest man that ever lived, to raise
high up the snow-white banner Of
purity and to stand by it and fight un-
der it until the blush of shame can
never come to the face of your daugh-
ter or my sister, because the stand
ards of society tolerate such hellish
brutes to lift their heads among re-
spectacle people.

1t is the life of beauty, and freshness,
and happiness, and faith, and hope,
and love on earth. 1t is the life of the

Mems Overflow Meeting
The overflow meeting was in charge
of Revs. Mr.. Walton and Robert Nc
Intyre. About one hundred women par
ticipated in the service. Mr.. Pugh, as
sisted by Mr. Thompson from Chicago,
rendered the music.
The Rev. Mr. Walton spoke on the
question: "Can a Man Be Saved if
Sincere in His Religious Belief, Out
side of the True Religion of Jesus
Christi"
zone says that he is not a Christian"
he would not exchange places with one.
Another says that he is not ready to
steady down to the service OF Jesus
Christ"
The Rev. Mr.. Walton related, and
commented upon, several passages of
scripture pertaining to the stand that
people should take in the saving Cf
their souls, regardless of the question
of sincerity of belief outside of the
teachings of the Bible, qualifying his
assertions that there is no other way
to be saved than through the merit of
Jesus Christ and his love.

that seeks and usually finds an an
swering note in his hearers
The speaker appears to be guided
almost entirely by inspiration and
never can tell before he goes on the
platform what he will speak of or
what method he will use to impress
upon men the message which he brings.
Sudden Change Of Text
When he took his place on the plat
form yesterday he had decided on the
text from which he would preach, but
by the time he arose an entirely differ
ent set of words was on his lips.
The picture of the Savior on Calvary
was the scene drawn by DIR. Ostrom
and he brought out the different points
in the story of Christs life which help
to elevate womanhood.
He said in part.
",The Savior's life is one against
which none of us can offer a criticism.
1t was a life filled with love and pa
tient suffering. Unselfishness was what
he practiced in everything. 1t ought
not to be difficult thing for a woman
to realize what his life and his suffer-
ing were and to accept him.
at is half your honor as a woman
that you are willing to suffer for 9TH
ers. 1t is half your distinction i'll the
family that you are ready to give up
your own comfort for another.
ut is the Bible that has given
49,. 4.
holds.
1T was the Bible that exalted her,
for in that book it is that we learn the
sacredness of the words, mother,
daughter, sister and wife"
The speaker spoke of prejudice as
one of the things that kept many peo-
pie from acknowledging Christ and
taking him for their personal Savior.
You may be willing enough to give
to the church, and to allow people to
believe as they see fit, but this is not
enough 1t is not sufficient for us to
build churches and even to go to them.
Christ wants more than that. Can we
not give to our Redeemer the very
best?
"Don't Neglect"
at is to really know Christ as a
savior that we should seek. Give your
hearts to him and gain the knowledge" :"
During the minutes Immediately fol-
lowing the sermon old women and
young pressed to the platform in an
swer to the plea of DR.. Ostrom, and
while the chorus sang softly the verses
and chorus of a gospel hymn steady
stream of women, coming even from
the third gallery, walked to the front
of the church and stood with bowed
heads asking that the. picture of CAL
vary might become truly theirs.
The subject of DR.. Ostroms evening
sermon in the second district, when he
spoke to an audience of men and
women, was, Don't Neglect" He said
In part:
"The great curse of the world today
is neglect. If you do not want to go to
Chicago, you need not blow up trestles
or break the valves on locomotives,
All you need to do is to stay right
where you are and neglect to take the
train And if you do not want to be
a Christian you do not need to declare
all the church members hypocrites and
all the preachers rascals, you do not
need to trample on the Bible and de-
clare anathemas against your mothers
prayers. All you need to do is to do
just as you are doing-neglect!
Don't wait for a providential whip
ping. Really want to be Christian
and you will be much more than half
way"
