AN EFFECTIVE SERMON.
Trumpet Blast That Drove the People
70 Repentance.


Old Peter Cartwright was a famous
preacher and circuit rider many years
ago.
The exhorter was holding camp
meeting I'm Ohio. There was q great
number OF campers on the field and
the eccentric speaker addressed vast
concourses az every service. but he
thought too few were being converted
He felt that something should be done
10 stir the sinners 10 repentance, so
he prepared a strong sermon on the
second coming OF Christ He told how
the world would go on IN It's sin and
wickedness and az last Gabriel would
sound his trumpet ana time would
come 20 an end He described the
horrors Of the lost and the joys OF
those who were saved The sermon
grew In Intensity, and he brought his
people up 70 a grand climax. when sud.
denly the sound OF a trumpet smote
the ears of the anxious throng
There was a great sensation, and
many fell upon their knees In terror
ana began 10 repent and pray. Women
screamed and strong men groaned.
Pandemonium was let loose for few
minutes. After the terror had some
what ceased the preacher called 10 n
man up tree. and ne descended with
a long tin horn IN his hand. The
speaker then turned In fierce wrath
and upbraided the people. He cried
out In stentorian tones that, II man
with tin horn up a tree could
Brighten them 20, how would II be In
the last great end when Gabriels
trumpet sounded the knell OF the worldl
The sermon had great effect upon
the vast audience, and many hundreds
nocked 10 the front and were con-
vcrted.
