are ready to throw your influence on
the side of Jesus Christ.
You are not gong to be found want
ing when Jesus needs you. You are
being tested all around Now, / have
never seen a revival that didn't start
just that way in my life. Nothing
good ever started with a majority.
The anti-slavery movement: they
rolled William Lloyd Garrison in the
mud in Boston because he dared stand
up and champion freedom for the
slaves. They build monuments to him
now, my friends.
Oh, yes, and the antisaloon move
ment which has annihilated the liquor
traffic, started with few Cody
women on their knees out in Ohio,
praying TO God TO overthrow it, and
they pinned a white ribbon on their
breasts and have stood the test. Hats
of to the women,
That is the bunch, my friends that
started this great wave that threat
ems the saloon-to drive it from the
face of the earth. Nothing good ever
started with a majority. MOI Mo-
There never was a spontaneous out
burst, even in patriotism. Didn't
Daniel Webster preached in Fan
euil Hall in Boston-and didn't Dan
iel Webster stand on the same spot
and say that this agitation against
slavery must cease, and from that
day, Daniel Webster's star began to

position, that is why.
Sometimes 1t is a cody sister, sigh
ing and grooming before the Lord,
Sometimes it is a preacher, moaning

of the people, and their stolidity
to Gods cause and the truth.
| preached in a town in Illinois,
and there was man came up, a
member of one of the big fashionable
churches. He got under the atmos-
phere of the revival, and went back
and began to talk religion and revival
| in the prayer meeting. 1t was like
shooting off a giant firechacker in q
| hen-roost to talk religion to that
| bunch Oh, it gave them the chillS
and peritonitis and appendicitis and
! everything, but he kept on telling
them, he kept on talking il. Others got
| interested, and others and others and
| finally it broke down their spirit oil
opposition and they built a tabernacle
and hundreds and hundreds swept into
| the Kingdom of God like doves to Their
| windows. But it started with one
! Did you ever read about Finney' s
| blacksmith Finney tells about a
| blacksmith that had two days of fast
! ing and prayer. He locked up his shop
| Thursday night and began praying
/ Thursday and Friday, and on Saturday
/ he went around to see the preacher
and said,
Pastor, think we are going to
! have great revival
! The pastor said, 81 wish ] saw indi
cations of it. If | ever saw church
! that needed it. this is the one"
/ The blacksmith said, We are going
TO have it, and they sat there and
talked about a revival and what they
could do to promote the cause of Jesus
Christ, and he urged the minister tC
make some statement of the fact Oh
the Sabbath.
/ Finally he agreed to do so. and he
got up one morning and told about the
visit and conversation, and he forgo
! his set sermon and gave little i'm
promptu, offhand sort of talk and he
closed by saying this,
! IF there is anybody here who want!
to talk with me about their souls,
wish you'd come to my study tomor
row night
And Finney tells us that forty-twC
men and women raped on the study

Why Mary Would
Not Leave Home
Well, now, we are pretty nearl,
through with this sermon, but listen
the best part is TO come Martha wen
out and had a little talk with Jesu
and Martha turned to Mary and said
Jesus is coming. Oh, let's go out ant
