who could explain the purposes Of
oxide Of iron, and few could un-
derstand how it could be converted
into q magnet, yet people made Q
great to do over the magnet He
said that in the spiritual world the
counterpart Of the lodestone is Christ
crucified ON the cross. He said you
could not explain his drawing pow
er except that he was the Son of
God. Even infidels. he said, have
admitted the attractive power of
Christ in the world. He said there
was no power anywhere like the up
lifting power Of Christ
He told a story Of how stranger
met Bon Ingersoll in a Washington
hotel one time aud told Ingersoll
Of a man who had knocked the
crutches from under a cripple and
let him fall. Ingersoll was incensed
at such an act and asked the stran-
ger to point out the man to him SO
he could whip. him. whereupon the
man told the great infidel, thou art
the man, for you have knocked from
under me the crutches Of my moth
ers prayers and religion
The evangelist said when he
walked down town at night and saw
the many attractive electric signs
he wondered why the church did not
erect an electric sign that would
read something like this, i, Jesus,
if | be lifted up | will draw all men
to me-"
He declared that the uplifting
power of Jesus was mighty inIlu-
enee that had been appealing to men
through all the ages, Let US lit
up Christ" he said, with our pray
ers, with our gold and with our tes-
timony." He said that Christ Is
drawing men to him that they might
be great monuments for him. He
smoke of the various religious
movements which are being organ

out the country for the uplitt Of

held in a town and said that an
automobile tour was made over the
county in order that he might speak
to the people. "All you have to do.
