TALK ON RELIGION.
Of THE PRESENT DAY.
BY DOCTOR MAHOOD.
LARGE AUDIENCE GREETS DR..
MAHOOD LAST EVENiNG-UNlON|
PRAYER SERVICE WILL Be
HELD TONIGHT.

A large number Of people were on
hand at the First Methodist church
last evening to hear the address made
by DR. j. W. Mahood, who is conduct.
ing series of services in Ottawa. DR..
Mahood is proving to be one Of the
most popular speakers that has ap-
peared in this city for long time, and
the attendance at his lectures grows
larger each evening.
Last evening he spoke on The Re
viyal of the New Age saying in
part;
The great work Of evangelism has
been caricaLured and abused so often
in recent years that the minds OF
many people have been poisoned
against anything sayoring of revival.
But in the early Christian church
evangelism was always given first
place.
Some people are now talking about
an ethical revival and about a social
service revival, but the only kind OF
revival that the Christian church can
sanction in this new age is that which
follows New Testament lines
There are some characteristics OF
a genuine spiritual awakening that
will return with this new age. In the
first place every class and condition
nf men will be reached by the gospel
OF Christ. God is no respector of per
sons and the church must not be
There has been much discussion in re
cent years of social problems, bui
with all our talk and writing on this
subject we have not improved on the
New Testament yet.
Socialism has much to say about
better conditions for working men an0
women, but the kind of socialism thai
leaves Christ out is no friend of the
WorHngman. Sooner or late a Christ
less socialism means anarchy ano
then the shambles. This has been
proven over and over again in his
tory, and more recently in Russia.
The only permanent method OF
rightlng social conditions is the New
Testament plan, and that begins with
the heart OF man. When the spri,
Of God regenerates and makes clean
the sinful heart everything else will
soon be made right This was Christ :
plan He taught that out of tie hear,
! of man proceed all evil things. ana
that until the heart is pure there can
be no right adjustment OF life. Faith
in the atoning blood of Christ vii,
purify the heart. The social gospeI
can never take the place Of the gospeI
of atonement.
When the mutitudes of the OLD
world pauperized by war, begin tl
pour again upon our shores we mus
know how to Americanize and Chris
tianze them, but we must recognize
that the oply permanent and success
ful way will be through New Testa
ment conversion
