The gospel is to be regnant over all

everybody knows that most of the ser-

The vast .majority of the people of our
great cities nevex enter church.
The sermon of to -day carries along
with it the deadwood of all ages. Hun-
dreds of years ago it was decided what a
sermon ought to be. and it is the at-
tempt of Mealy theological semlnaries
and doctors of divinity to hew the
modern pulpit utterances into the same
old style proportions. Booksellers will
tell you they- dispose of a hundred his-
tories, a hundred novels,a hundred poems
to one book of sermons. What is the
matter? Some say the age is the worst
of all ages: ft is better. Some say reli-
gion is wearing out, when it is wearing
in. Some say there are so many who
despise the Christia,n religion. I answer
there never was an age when there were
so ;Haley Christians or so many friends
of Christianity as this age has—our age)
as to others a hundred to one. What is
the mattet, then? It is simply bet:muse
eur sermon of to -day is not suited to the

The Coming Sermon.
Before the world is converted the
sermon will have to be cenverted. You
might aa well go into a modern Sedan
or Gettysburg with bows and arrows
instead of rifles and bombshells and
parks of artillery as to expect to conquer
this world for God by the old. styles of
sermon:elegy. Jonathan Edwards preached
the sermons best adapted to the age in
which he lived. But if those sermons
were preached now they would divlde an
audience into two classes—those sound
asleep and those wanting to go home.
But there is a coming sernaten—who
will preach it I have no idea. In what
part of the earth it will be born I have
no idea. In which denomination of
Christians it will be delivered I cannot
guess. That coming sermon may be
born in the country meeting house on
the banks of the St. Lawrence, or the
Oregon, or the Ohio, or the Tombigbee,
or the Alabama. The person who shall
deliver it may this moment lie in a
cradle under the shadow of the Sierra
Nevadas, or in a New England farm
house, or amid the ricefields of aouthern
savannas; or this moment there may be
some young man in some of our theolo-
ezical seminaries in the junior or middle
or senior class shaping that weapon of
power; or there Illay be coming some
new baptism of the Holy Ghost on the
churches, so that some of us whe now
stand in the watch towers of Zion,
waking to the realization of our
present _inefficiency, may preach it our-
selves. That coining sermon may not be
20 years off. And let us pray God that
its arrival may be hastened, while I
announce to you what I think will be
when it does arrive, and I want to
make' the reratirke appropriate and sug-
gestive to all -blesses of Christiain work -
First of all, I remark that that
corning sermon will be full of a living
Christ, in contradistinction to didactic
technicalities. A sermon may be full of
Christ, though hardly mentioning his
name, and a sermon may be empty of
Christ,vvhile every sentence is repetitious
of his title. The World wants a living
Christ, not a Christ standing at the head
ot formal system of theology, but a
Christ who means perdon and synipathy
and condolence and brotteer—
ood
and heaven nenes-A oor rnan's Christ. An
overworkedeenan's Christ. An invalid's
Chrisete-agn artisan's Christ. An every
The World Wants Help.
, A symmetrical and finely worded
system of the theology is well enough
for theological classes, but it has no
more leesiness in a pulpit than have the
technical phrases a an aatomist or a
physician in the sickroom of a patient.
The world wants help, immediate and
world uplifting, and it will come
through a sermon in which Christ shall
- walk right down into the imitiortal soul
and take everlasting possession of it,
filling it as full of light as is the noon-
day firmament. That sermon of the
future will not deal vrith men the
threadbare illustrations of nesus Cheist.
In ehat corning sermon there. will be
intances of vicarious sacrifice taken
right out of everyday life, for there is
not a- day somebody is not dying for
others. As the physician, saving his
diphtheria patient by sacrificing his own
life; as the ship captain, going down
with his vessel, while he is getting his
passengers into tne lifeboat; as the fire-
Miin,consureing in the burning -building,
while he is taking a child out of a
fourth story window; ae last summer
the strong swimmer at neong Branch or
Cape' -Mey or Lake George himself
perishing trying to rescue the drowning;
as the newspaper boy not' tong ago, sup-
porting his mother for SOME) years, his
invalid, tothenwhen offered by a gentle-
man 50 nts te get some especial paper,
and he got it and rushed up in his

THE HURON EXPOSITOR
of him who, in the high places of the
field and on the cross, fought our battle
and wept our griefs and endured our
struggles and died our death.
The Image 0( Christ.
A German sculptor made an image of
Christ, and he asked his little child, two
years old, who it was, and she said,
"That must be some very great man,"
The sculptor was displeased :with the
criticism, So he got another block of
Marble and, chiseled away on it two
or three 'nears, and then he brought in
his little child, four or five years of age, I
and he said to her, "Who do you think :
that is?" She said,. "That must be the 1
one who took little children his arms
and blessed them." Then the sculptor
was satisfied. Oh, my friends, what the
world wants is not a cold Christ, not an
intellectual Christ, not a severely mag-
isterial Christ, but a loving Christ,
spreading 'out his arms of sympathy to
press the whole world to his loting-
heart.
But I remark, again, that the coming
sermon of the Christian church will be a
short sermon. Condensation is demanded
by the age in which we live. No more
need of long introductions and long ap-
plications and so lnany ditisions to a
discourse that it may be said to be hydra
headed. In other clays men got ell their
information from the pulpit. There
were few books, and there were no
newepapers, and there was little travel
from place to place, and people would
sit and. listen two and a half hours to a
religious discourse, and "seventeenthly"
would find them fresh and cnipper. In
'those times there was enough room for
a man to take an hour to waren himself
up to the subject and an hour to cool off.
But what was a necessity then is a'
superfluity now. Congregations are full
of knowledge from books, from news-
papers, from rapid and continuous
intercommunication, and long disquisi-
tions of what they know already will
not be a -bided. If a religious teacher can-
not compress what he wishes to say to
the, people in the space of 45 minutes,
better adjourn it to _some other day.
The trouble is we preach audiences
into a Christian frame and then we
preach them out of it. \life forget that
ev,ery auditor has so much capacity'of
attention,a,nd when that is exhausted he
is restless. The accident on the Long
Island railroad came from the fact that
the brakes were ont of order end when
they wanted to stop the train they
could not stop; hence the casualty Was
terrific. In all religious discourse we
want locomotive ponver and propulsion.
We want at the' &IMO time stout' brakes
to let down at the right instant. It is
a dismal thing, after a hearer has com-
prehended the -whole subject, to hear a
man sae, "Now, to recapitulate," and
"a few lwords by way of applicatiou"
and "once more," and "finally," and
"now to conclude."
The Model Sermon.
Paul preached Until midnight, and
Entychus got sound asleep and fell out
of a window and broke his neck. Some
would say, "Good for him." I would
rather be sampathetie, like Paul, and
resue..citate him. That accident is often
quoted now in religious circles as a warn-
ing against somnolence in church. It is
just as much a warning to ministers
against prolixity. Eutychus was wrong
in his somnolence, but Paul made a
mistake when he 'kept on until -mid-
night. He ought to have stopped at 11
o'clock and there wou have been no
accident. If Paul might aye gone on to
too mat lengths, let all ose of us who
are noev preaching the gospel remember
that there is a limit to religious dis-
course, or ought 'to be, and that in our
time we have no apostolic power of
miracles. Napoleon, in an addrese of
seven minutes, thrilled his .arrny and
thrilled Europe. Christ's sermon on the
mount—the model sermon—was less
than 18 minutes lorig at ordinary mode
of delivery. It is not electricity scattered
all over the sky - that strikes, but elec-
tricity gathered into a thunderbolt and
hurled, and it' is not religious truth scat-
tered over spread out over a vast reach
of time, 1;ut religious truth projected in
compact form that flashes light upon
the soul and drives its . indifference.
When the coming sermon arrives in this
land and in the Christian church—the
sermon which is to arouse the world
and startle the nations and usher in the
kingdom—it will be a brief sermon.
Hear it, all theological students all ye
just entering upon religious work, all ye
men and women who in Sabbath schools
and :other departmente are toiling Per
Christ and the saivation, of immortEds.
Brevity, brevity!
But I remark also that the coining sex-,
mon 'of which I speak will be a pemilar
eermon. There.. are those Wiles° times
though there must be something -wrong
about it. As these critics are dull them-
selves, the world -gets the impression
that a sermon is good in proportion as
it is stupid. Christ was the most popular
preacher the world ever saw, and, con-
sidering the small number of the world's
pepulation had the largest audiences ever
gathered. He .neven preached anywhere
ple rushed out in the wilderness to hear
him,reokless of their phyriical necessities.
So great was their anxiety to hear
Christ, that, taking no Lod. with them,
they would have fainted and starved bad
_not Christ performed a miracle and fed
them. Why did so many peenle take the
truth a Christ's hends? Because ehey all
Understood it. He illustrated his subject
by a ben and her chickens, by a bushel
measure, by a handful of salt, by a
bird's flight and by a lily's aroma. All
the people knew what he mea.nt, and
they flocked to him. And when the
coming sermon of the Christian church
nppears, it will not be Princetonian,
not Rochersterian, not Andoverian, not,
Middletonian, but Olivetic—plain, prac-
tical, unique, earnest, comprehensive
of all the woes, wzyhts, sins, sorrows and
necessities of an auditory.
Churches Will be Thronged.
But when that sermon does come,
there will be a thousand gleaming
scimitars to charge on it. There are in
so many theological semina,ries profes-
sors telling young men now to preach,
themselves not knowing how, and I am
told if a young man in some of our
theological seminaries says anything
quaint or thrilling or 'unique, faculty
and sendents fly at him, aiid set him
right, and straighten hiin out, and
smooth him down, and chop him off
until he !Aye everything just as every-
body else says it. Oh, when the coming
seemon of the Christian church arrives,
all the chtirches of Christ in our great
cities will be thronged. The world wants
spiritual help. All who have burled their
dead want comfort. All know them-
selves to be mortal and to be immortal
and they want to hear about the great
future. I tell you, my friends if the 'peo-
ple of these great cities who have had
trouble only thought they could _get
practical and sympathetic help in the
Christian church, there would not be a
street in Washington or New York or
Boston which would be passable -on the
Sabbath day, if there were a church on
0; for all the people would press to
that asylum of mercy, that great house
of comfort and consolation.
A mother with a dead babe in ber
arms came to the gen Verna sled asked
to have her cbild restored 'be' life. The
god Veda said to her, "You go and get
a handful of mnetard seed from a house
in which there has been' no sorrow and
in which there has neen no death and I
will restore your child no life." So the
mother went out, and she went from
house to house and. from home to home.
looking for a plire where there had bee*
no sorrow and tvhere there had. been
no death, but she fotind none. She Went
back to the god' Veda and said: "My
mission is a failure. You see, I haven't
brought the mustard teed. I can't find
a place where there has been no sorrow
and no death." "Ob," says the god
Veda, "understand, your sorrows are no
worse than the eorrows of others. We all
have our griefs, and all bave our` heart-
breaks.'
Laugh, and the world laughe with you;
WeeP, and you weep alone
For the sad old earth mus't borrow its
But has trouble enough of its own.
We hear a great deal of discussion now
all over the land about why people do
not go to oburch. Some say it is bee:ante
Christianity is dying out and because
people do not believe in the truth.of
;God's word, and all that. They are false
reasons.
Why People Do Not Go to Church.
The reason is because our sermons are
not interesting and practical and sympa-
thetic and helpful. Some one might as
well tell the whole truth on this subjeot,
and so.I will tell it. The sermon of the
future—the gospel sermon to come forth
and shake the nations and lift people
out Of darkness—will be a popular ser-
mon just for . the siniple reason that it
will -meet the woes and the wants and
the 'anxieties of the people. There are in
all our denominations ecclesiastical
mummies sitting around to frown upon
the fresh young pulpits of America to -
try to awe them down, to ory out': "Tut,
tut, tut! Sensational! They stand to -
'day preaching in churches that hold a
thousand people, and there are a hun-
dred persons present, and if they cannot
have the world saved in:their way it
seems as if they do not want it saved at
all. I do not know but the old way of
making ministers of the gospel. is 'better
-ea collegiate edimation and an apprens-
ticeship under the pare end borne atten-
tion of some eernest, aged Christian
minister, the young man getting- the
patriarchts spirit and assisting him in
his religious service. Young lawyers
study with olirlawyers, young physicians
study with Old physicians, and I believe
it would be a great help if every young
man etudying for the gospel ministry
could put himself in the home and heart
and sympathy and. under the benediction
and perpetoal presence of a Christian
- But I remark again, the sermon of the
future will be an awakening sermon.
From altar rail to the front doorstep,
under that.sermon-an audience will get
up and . start for heaven. There will be
An it ninny a staccatu passage. It will
not be a lullaby; it will be a battie
charge. Men will drop their sins, for
they will feel the hok breath of pursuing
retribution on the back of their neoks.
It will be a sermon sympathetic with all
the physical distreses as well as the
spiritual distresses of the world: Christ
not only preached, but he healed
paralysis, and he healed epilepsy, and he
healed the dumb and the blind and -the -
ten lepers. -
That sermon of the future will be an .
everyday sermon, going right down into
every inann life, and' it will teach him
how to vote, how to bargain, how to
plow, how to do work he is ea led to,
how to wield trowel and pen and pencil
and yardstick and plane. .And it will
teach women how to educate thein child-
ren, and how to imitate Miriam and
Esther and Vashti, and Eunice; the
mother of Timothy, and Mary, the
mother of Christ, and those women who

of the necessities and every -day comforts
of life.
Nothing is so appropriate in coramem-
orating. the occasion as embellishments
from the harvest fields.- In drawing
rooms nothing is more effective than
Indian corn and diminutive yellow
pumpkins, the corn With its long stalks
and golden ears stacked on either side
of the wide doors or grouped in corners,
the small pumpkins with more ears of
corn piled at the base.

An Appeal to the Unsaved.
Oh, my friends, when our watch hes
ticked away for us for the last rnement
and our clock has struck for us the last
hour, may it be found we did our work
well, that we did it in the very beat Way,
and whether we preached the gospel in
pulpits, or taught Sabbath claims, or
administered to the sick as physicians,
or bargained as merchants, ot pleaded
the law as attorneys, or were busy at
artisans or as husbandmen or as
mechanic:a, or were like Martha called to
give a meal to a hungry Christ, or like
Hannah to make a coat for a prophet, or
like Deborah to rouse the courage of
some timid Barak in the Lord's confliot,
we did our work in such a way that it
will stand the test of the judgment.
And in the long procession of the re-
deemed -that marches round the throne
may it be found there are many there
brought to God through our instrument.
ality and in whoee rescue we are exult-
ant. But oh, you unsaved, wait not for
that coming sermon. It may come after
your obsequies. It may coine after the

DOMINION
This is the festival which the Pilgrim
fathers inaugurated, which New England
has annually celebrated for two centur-
ies, and which the nation has adopted
and sanctioned as a day of public thanks-
giving to God. It exalts the ho'me and
strengthens its sacred and tender ties.
It brightens' the shadows which have.
gathered over it. It dignifies prosperity.
It prompt men to reach cut helpful
hands to their less fortunate neighbors.
It reminds us afresh from whence every
good gift COMO& It it seemed good to
our fathers in the inidst of the hardships
of this new world to give public thanks
to God for blessings, how much more
reason have we to follow their example?
Abundance of food and clothing, happy
homes, a free country at peace with all
nations and extending its- influence.
throughout the world, with marvelously
multiplied appliances fon use and pleas-
ure which stirpass the wildest dreams of
those who first were moved to set apart
a day of public thanksgiving and. praise,
are ours. What shall I render antes the
Lord for all His benefits toward me? I
will take the cup of salvation; and call
upon the name of the Lord.
Thanksgi vine Day.
The first great reaeon for tbanskgiving
dr'ama of humanity.
Mere existence, then, is sufficient rea-
son for thankfulness on the part of the
generationn which is on earth at this
period of its history. Never before was
the pursuit of knowledge so swift as
now, and never before was the chase so
well directed to the goal. The remaining
years of this °cutup' are few, but mea-
sured by tbeir accomplishments in
politics, society, and science), they are
likely to be of more value man more in-
terest than whole centuries whioh have
already passed.
This is a wonderfully interesting. a
peculiarly exhilarating time in which
we are so fortpnate as to live. The world
is more beautiful than ever before and a
better plane to dwell in. Let us, then,
sound the notes of rejoioing and pour
forth the songs of thanksgiving.
