Dirt Cheap Salvation,

1T costs 81. Il to convert a sinner in
Atlanta, That is the average as GER
tanned by figures gathered from the re-
CEN revivslin Atlanta Baptist church
es. 1t was found that 1885 converts
were added to the churches during the
April and May revival. The cost OF
these meetings was 81 500.
Torrey and Chapman were here.
The actual number of converts during
the Chapman revival was only 300,
The May revival added more than
1000 members to u churches and
more than half were by baptism"
The above from the Atlanta Geor-
gian is q large text. If it costs 81. a tc
convert aud bapiize an Atlanta sinner,
fne ordinary kind ought to be brought
in for about SILT. Then Torrey ant
Chapman suffer by the comparison
and they must feel as if their labors
were in vain. When Atlanta sinner:
are rounded up like sheep and cattle
and he price calculated to a cent, i
shows that the kingdom of heaven is
at hand-Dot taken by violence, but by
dollars and cents, This will he a les
SOL to future revival preachers. he
duced to the old rule of three it will b'
easv to calculate how many conversion
may be brought about by a certain a
mount of cash in hand. According tt
commercial salvation, we have grav'
doubts as TO the worth of the Atlanta
sinner. 1t will be found later tina
many of them are not worth Sl.74.
But after all, the Pauline method o
conducting revivals seems moro IL
harmony with the Gospel than the AT
lanta method. 1t costs about $500 Il

Christian Charity.
'.Vox Populi.''
Orangeberg Patriot,

Charity, the greatest of virtues, flows
as q natural and necessary consequence
from the possession of the genuine
spirit of christianity. There is nc
better evidence of a mans christianity
than his disposition to be charitable,
and there is nc surer sign that a person
lacks the christian spirit, than the
lack of charity. A person to be chart.
table need not to be rich, all charity is
not financial and cannot be measured
in dollars and cents, yet the man who
has an abundance of worldly wealth,
but lacks charity, surely has nothing
but vengeance and retribution com
ing to him in the afterworld. God is
Love, and charity is the most genuine
expression of the love that is akin to
God aud abides in every christian
heart.
We have the religion of hyrocricy
and deceit which is but the disguised
agency of the Evil One; We have the re.
ligion:of form and show, which seeks
the house tops and high places, to per,
form it's deed of charity, that they may
be seen and heard of all men; but VIZ
have far too little of the charity that
is born Of God and the new born spirit
of regeneration, which performs its
deeds because of the love of humanity
and are their brothers keepers. They
perform tn. ir good deeds at any anu
all times, unn,indful of the presence
of others. The person who has The
spirit Of christian love, makes no at
temps at showing off his deeds to the
best effect. He performs them bpcaus,
it is his duty and be has an innate
love for his fellow men, that his sou
cannot resist,
Christian charity is constant, modes
and unselfish, but the ostentatiou'
giving of aims, is one of the best evi
T.. dences of hypocrisy. TO help the poo
and needy, II is not necessary to avoiC
the public gaze, yet it is almost a mora
crime to seek the crowd, in order show
many people how good you think you
are. The mar who thinks he is
christian and lacks charity is deceivin,
himself and informing other people o
this fact. 1t is possible to be charitabl
and not be a christian, but We a no
conceive it possible that a man coul'
be a christian and lack charity, which
would be a necessary contradiction Q
terms.
