The saloon and the brotbel are twin forces of evi‘, +apping the lifeblood of the church and the nation. In my short pastorate I have experienced something of their power. They have taken women from my church door and sent them to endless ruin. They have taken strong and stalwart men from the communion table and bound them in fetters strouger than brass and harsher than iron. They have taken mourners from the church‘s sacred altars and kept them in bondage to sin and crime. They bave taken boys and girls from the embrace of the Sunday school and taught them to walk unâ€" blushing in&the ways of shame. My experience i fbnt theexperience of every other pastor in the land. .The experiâ€" ence of my church bas been but the experience of every other church in the nation. This is the condition of things> and yet the Christian church is not awake to the dangers that menace her. She remains unconscious to & large extent of the valeful influence being exercised io audlBedabs dnc is dn P ce w W upon her children. She sleeps in vain security while millions of Godâ€"born and Christâ€"redeemed men and women tramp their way to ruin. _ Her vision of duty weep and wail over the condition of the imasses. The time bas come when the church must do gore than cry aloud to habitâ€"bound and sinâ€"cursed men and women, "Come to Vesus." She must act as well as pray. _ She must draw the keenâ€"edged sword of law and cleave for humanity an open way to liberty. She must become the champion of the downâ€"trodden and povertyâ€"stricken men and women all about her,. She must open up tha way by which such sinners may come to the house and altars of our God. IV.â€"American cities need a truly militant church. They meed a church made up yf men and women who are ever ready and willing to do and to dare for God and humanity. American cities need churches with brave and skillâ€" ful men in the pulpit as leaders of thought, who havre the faith and the courage to marshal the host of God against all forms of »ppression. The battle is on, and we must fight or die. The sword of mortal combat has been unsheathed against all forms of orgazsâ€" ized oppression, and it shall never rest it shall never rest in its scabbard until these foes of humanity are overthrown. American cities need churches that breathe clf;fltlSu'e to all forms of sin and wromg. They need brave, true and ntelligent men ard women who sympaâ€" thize with the oppressed in every conâ€" dition of life and in the name of Israel‘s 1 9e 3 God dare to fight, with prayer, and voice, and press and ballot, the men who enslave their féllows for gain. The battle rages fierce and wild, yet we need not fear. _ Jesus, â€" hamanity‘s friend and brother, said, ‘Upon this rock I will build my church ; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.‘ | "Cod‘s saints in all this c o%‘ou war Shall conquer, thou%h they die; They see the trinmph from s Byv faith they bring it nigh." V.â€"American cities need| Christianâ€" ity in their politics. Hon. John Sherâ€" man has said, ‘The Decalogue and the Golden Rule have no place in politics.:‘ Hon. John G. Ingalls has said, ‘Purity in politics is an iridiscent dream.‘ Senâ€" ator Farwell of Illinois, said in the Republican _ national convention ‘of 1888,‘We are not here for temperance, but for success.‘ Whatever theso . honâ€" ored men may say, I am here to declare that Christianity haf a place in the politics of the nation. ‘She must have a place in the politics of the Ameri¢an I 4A oa _L4_ "mell aotow. oo ces uc F cities, or openâ€"mouthed tuin will overâ€" take them. Christianity will have a place in the politics of our American cities, if the disciples of Jesus ‘do their duty at the bailatâ€"box. *"C , 2 &n e CCE © inss whhaint M 1t lcitietiints on i t Mapy men have imbibed from some cause the idea that politics and Christ ianity are antagonistic.‘ They think } 5| w d that a Christian contamipates him-el‘ by ukinli'an interest in |is. â€" ‘Politics is the bcinnce of government.‘ ‘Politics is morals applied to public affaire. Passing along the streets of Greenville, Ohio, ong day, I heard a |man say this :â€" ‘I do.not like to see a preacher meddle with pol‘tics, for religion belongs to the Lord and politics to the devil, and I do not like to see them| mixed.‘ That man‘s politics may have elonged to the devil, but my politics bhelong to the Lord. No Cbristian cuido bis whole duty to humanity who fails to put his moral convictions into the ballotâ€"box. Amsrican cities are the wortstâ€"govâ€" erned cities in the civiliged world. The best men and women inI:he world are in these American cities. This is a strange paradox indeed ; neverthel it is true. ‘ It expresses the condition of things exactly. Millions of men and }women in our cities are being whirled hardinnas into uin | Hunadreds ‘of women in our cities are being whirled heedlong into ruin. | Hundreds ‘of thousands of America‘s best men and women are praying for these lost and ruined ones. But while they only pray, bell laughg and wiked men flourâ€" ish on every: hand. To pray is well, but to act is better. The disciples of Jesus toâ€"day are using popâ€"guns and paper wads, where they ought to be using heavy siege guns charged with paper wads, where they ought to be using heavy siege gu a . charged with powder and iron. T'lie disciples â€"of Jegus toiday are playing with wooden swords, where they oudght. to be using the Damascus blade of divine truth against organized wrong. Toâ€"day the discipleg of Jesus are playing the part ‘of peassnts, where they ought to act the part of sovereigns in shaping the destiny of the world. _ | $ Every Christian citizén in this coun : try is endowed with the prerogatives of m sovereign at the ballotâ€"box. God, the church, and bhumanity demand that they use this sovereignty in the interest I WO Loa 0® Lten n S i bool (it ns dimbnnie w W TS of moral, social and industrial reform. | ° When the disciples of Jesus pray and then vote as they ought to pray, hell | . will mourn and the wicked will flee. | . Then the trumpet call of God to per: 1 ishing millions will be heard and | obeyed. The boyhood, the girlhood, the manbood, the womanhood of this great nation must be protected from the assaults of greed and rum and vice. | The voice of God‘s people must be heard at the ballotâ€"box in their defense. The world needs the gospel and the gospel it must bave. The way to reach the masses, the great unchurched masses, the way to save theâ€"millions now on the way to ruin, is to use all our powers of voice and pen and press and ballot, as God gives us conscience to see and know the right. American citigs need men who know |\ how to pray, how to speak, and how to | vote. . American cities need men who ‘| not only pity thé poor and the outcast, | but who will dare to defend them in ‘| their rights by voice and ballot. Amâ€" ‘| erican cities need brave Christian men l\ and women who dare to do their duty 1| to God and humanity in every relation t\ in life. Faint not, faithful toilers in ‘ | this world so full of wrong. The golden | age is before and not behind us. The â€"| light of a better day purples the sky 8 | about us. ) | «+ ‘Tis coming up the steeps of time, t And this o%d world is growing brighter ; B We may not see its dawn sublime, [ But high hopes make the heart grow lighter." { Dayton, 0.
