after week. He told of the wonderful
conversions which were made, thou
sands of people coming TO the Church
as a result of the meetings held. He
gave graphic examples, specific IN
stances. of the manner in which the
revival services were conducted. and
he ended by saying that there was
| nothing in his life he was so thankful
| to God for as the privilege of having
been able to attend those meetings.
| Dr. Seudder announced then that
when the call had been sounded for
! these evangelists to address the people
! here, a promise was made that some
! thing would be done in the way of as
sisting them in their evangelistie tour
of Australia, China and Japan. An
| offering. which was liberal, was then
| taken. Rev. Chapman then gave the
| address of the evening, saying, in
part:
81 want to express my appreciation
! of the manner in which we have been
| received in Honolulu today. Honolulu
may be beautiful city when the sun
is shining-as it undoubtedly is-bu.
we know that it is beautiful any time,
rain or shine. The hospitality of you
| kind people has been superb. We want
you to pray for us in this mission, for
we feel that it will bring many bless
| ings to not only the foreign fields, but
also to our own homeland. The sub
iect which I have chosen this evening
may be considered quite revolutionary;
but it will settle all your troubles, all
disputes between capital and labor. it
will solve every problem, and it will
bring happiness into every home.
DR.. Chapman then spoke of the great
peace which love would bring every
where. He spoke of great men, rich
men, who were never happy or satisfied.
He quoted Andrew Carnegie, who he
believed was great and good man, as
saying "The millionaire never smiles. =
told of the New York business man,
immensely wealthy, who stated that he
would give all he possessed to get back
to the days of his boyhood once more.
DR.. Chapman said that greatness was
no indication that man S heart would
not break and that there was many
good man who came down to the
pit of corruption. He said that the
best men of the world had passed
: through the greatest trials and sorrow.
That there was great difference be-
tween the Old and New Testaments.
, DR.. Chapman then went on to show. In
the Old Testament, he said, when an
| order was given it was accompanied
by the rumble of thunder. in the New
Testament there was peace always, as,
: when the Christ child was born, a star
from heaven pointed the way to the
manager. He showed that there was no
difference in the view of death, for
death had lost its sting and the grave
had been robbed of its victory. DR..
RI Chapman then took up the subject
, "The Power of Love-
From the Bible he showed how, when
Adam had done wrong, Christ sought
and talked to him in a spirit of love
: It was love, first, last, and all the
time, matches love.
tGod has never been an angry God, .
: continued he, Gas his adorable love
: had been displayed all through the New
. Testament. God is Love. Turn to the
pages of history, and where will you
find any great thing that has not beer
accomplished through the power OF
love! Love never fails-this has beer
shown not only in the past history OF
the church, but also in the present
: Why, there is a man in New York
e a very dear friend of mine, who's,
e power of love is absolutely wonderful
y He comes out to my home and it /:
positively impossible for me to keep the
servants from following him around tht
: house-and-well, as for sending the
8 children away while he is there-thai
o | would be an impossibility. He was sit
ting out on my porch one day, / re
member, reading the Tribune. Sudden
= ly he arose, went to the telephone, ano
s called up his assistant in the city. He
: told his assistant that he had read OF
| poor girl who had been found in the
| bay, whom no one had identified, and
/ | who was then lying in the morgue. He
! said that she was undoubtedly faller
= | girl, and he ordered his assistant to &C
to the niorgue, get the poor remains
bring them to the mission, and have
them buried in the mission cemetery
in a neat coffin. Have the mother
| kiss her, too, he said, 'and then seno
the bill to me-
"That man, whose name is j. II

Ballington Booth pleaded in Paris witt
