TOPICS OF THE EVANGELIST

It "Was Faith and Earnestness Which Brought Christ to Blind lartimeus. Ceason Leads People to Becomo Christians Results of the livival in a Lare Number of Confessions and Penitents. A SERMON TO THE l'OUSG. The Evancelfst Speaks of tie Healing of i!ttlmeus' BlindDeea. The closing day of the union evangelistic services of the Rev. B. Fay Mills will be next Friday. He will then have spent three weeks here, tne first service havine occurred on Thursday Slarch 22. The meetings thus far have been very successful at least ia point of the number of those who have confessed Christ. The attendance, however, has not been as large as was expected. The audiences yesterday were lareer than those of any previous day daring the series of paeetin3. The afternoon service was for young people, and when Mr. Mills began speaking, shortly before 4 o'clock, it would have been difSenlt to have placed many more children in the hall. There were a great many little ones, but they preserved excellent order a;ad listened very attentively to the evangelist. Before the sermon was begun, a little girl aboct.eix years of ago climbed up the eteps of the stage upon which the ministers were seated, and said she "wanted to sit by the side of the preacher, ' meaning Mr. Milla The latter lifted her into a chair at his side, where she remained throughout the meeting, smiling down triumphantly at her companions in the audience. Professor and Mrs. Towner tang a duet, and the audience joined ia a number of hymns, the last one beine "Jesus of Nazareth Passeth By." After Rev. W. F. Sheridan had offered prayer Mr. Mills annonnced hia text in the words of the song just sung, "Jesus of Nazareth passeth by," it heme a quotation from St. Luke, xviii, 37. These familiar words were uttered in reply to the question of a blind man seated by the roadside as Jesus was going into Jericho. As soon as the blind man, whose name was Bartimeus, learned that it was the Savior who was passing by be cried to him, "Jesus, have mercy on me." He was rebated by the disciples and told to beep still, but persisted in bis cry until th Savior heard him and healed him of his blindness. "There are a great many people," said the preacher, who are spiritually blind; bat just as it was possible for this man to be bealod of hie physical blindness, so every one in tne world . to-day can be healed of spiritual blindness. It is a terrible thing to be a blind man, never to he able to look upon the beauty of the landscape, never to see the countenances of lovely children, to be shut out from the world's delights to a great extent. But. O friends, it is a more terrible thing to be spiritually blind, to be shut out from the light of God's love." Mr. Mills said there were sevoral things connected with the blind man's recovery which afforded us useful lessons. In the first place. Bar timeus realized that he bid a ereat need. Some people thought that God-would come, and save them when they did not really realize that they had any great need. Until a man realized that he was a sinner God could not exert bis saving power. In the second place, Bartimens called alond for mercy. He was not ashamed to pray before the multitude. A ereat many people to-day declared they would never get up before a crowd and ask God to save them. If that was so, they would never be saved. God was never going to restore a man's aight until he was willing to pray for it anywhere. In tbe third place, Bartimeu? cried out m a lond voice. He was a man terribly in earnest, and when his companions chided him -he cried all the louder. The great trouble with the majority of those who soueht Cbr:st was that they were not in earnest. "Boys," said the evangelist, "you can be grand Christians if you will make up your minds to be in earnest. There is not anything grander than an earnest boy who is determined to do right." Wben Bartimens "cast aside his garment'' and came to Jsus, as the revised edition put it, he "east aside his earment and 'sprang up' and came to Jesus." That was all anyone had to do to become a Christian. They had merely to cast off their garment of sin, of lust and of pride. Then what Bartimens prayed for was to receive bis sight. There were many other things many temporal blessings that he would like to Save bad, but chiefly wanted his sight. Acd so there was nothing an unsaved man needed so much as the salvation of his souL A grei t many made a terrible mistake in their first nrayer. They should not come to God and pray flor repentance. They had to have that lfore they came to God, and they should pray to Him to deliver them from tbeir sins. All one needed to do was to conform his will to God, and not pray Him to help him repent. Not everyone became a Christian, like Bartimens, all in a minnte, although a great many did. Some people became discouraged because they eould not. Not more than 12 per cent, of Christians were converted in that way, bnt it was a mistake to bay that they couldn't decide to become Christians in a moment They eould; In fact, that was the only way they could decide it. Another tact to be observed was that when Bartimeus had bis richt restored, he set out and followed Jesa. When a m.n was converted he generally felt like starting out immediately and working for Christ. Tbe text had a peculiar application to this community, for Jesus Christ was now passing by. TbeVe had been some sad congregations in this city i few weeks ago. but now many of those facet had been lighted up with the light of the knowledge of God's troth. They had taken, advantage of the opportunity while Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. While it was true that one could be saved from his sins at any time he wanted to, the probability was that unless be gave himself to Christ at a time like this he would never do it at all. Had Bartimens waited for another time to call out to Christ his blindness would never hav been ht alea. How could any young man or woman say that this was not his last opportunity? Iu the language of an old hymn there was a line between God's patieuee and his wrath, and no one ever knew where that line was drawn. At tbe conclusion of the eva ngelist's address a number arose and asked the prayers of God's people, and several hundred remained to the aftermeeting. TXIE EVEMNO SERMON. It Is Delivered on Benson ni Christianity to Several Thousand People. When the executive committee having in charge the meetings saw latt night's audience at Tomlinson Hall it probably regretted having decided to close the series nes t Friday, as was announced from the pulpits yesterday morning. Every seat in the hall was taken by 7:45 o'clock, except those fn the upper gallery, which was then thrown open for the first time since the meetings began. This gallery was immediately filled, as there were hundreds of people waiting in the corridors. The aisles at the side were f.lao well filled with those standing, and chairs we-e placed and occupied m the vacant space in front of the stage. Inasniuca as Tomlinson Hall will seat 3,500 people, there were nearly four thousand to listen to the evangelist on this occasion. The audience seemed to be an inspiration to Mr. and his address ias the most elo quent be has yet delivered. There were two or three brilliant passages, notably the one in which he referred to Ingewoll's remarks over the grave of his brother. The service also proved to be the largest of any yet held in the matter of its results. Mors peniter t arose than at any previous meeting, and the audience remaining at the after-service was Urger than many of . those whicn have been present at the regular service. The Rev. Mr. Haines prsyd very fervently, and the Rev. Dr. McLeod ainonnced a collection, asking a liberal contribution in order tna those having charge of the meeting might be able to payoff all the expenses wben the meetings were brought to a closa The music was a striking feature, a number of familiar hymns being sung. Prof. Towner lang "I'm the Cnild of a King," the audience joir leg in the chorus. Preceding his sermon Mr. Mills read a portion of the eleventh chatter of Deuteronomy, at the conclusion of which he announced the meetings for the present week. He said nbat wnile it had been derided to close the meetings on Friday, there was a possibility that taey might end on Thursday evening. Tiie text was from Deuteronomy xxx. 19: "I call heaven and earth to record this day against you that 1 have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seel msy live." Mr. Mills taid; "Mau haj Veen deSbsi as a ratiooal ani

mal. Whether that is t, complete definition or not, God has given us mason, and he expects os to use it. Reasonableness and Christianity are the same thing. A man can't be a really reasonable man unless he is a Christian. Reasonableness and righteousness are also the same thing. If you are not the best Christian you possibly can be God will bold yon responsible. All that; God asks of a man is for him to act on his best judg-. ment. As sure a3 you follow out the best dictate of your reason you will become, sooner or later, a whole-hearted, earn"t Christian." He then proceeded to enumerate some of the reasons why a man should home a Christian. In tbe first place be should da so because it was . a manly thing, to do. It was a manly thing to be a Christian and it was an unmanly thing not to he one, God had made man in His own imagr and he had intended that man should be ii Hi3 image in character as well as in person. Ee had never heard bnt one man give a good reason for not having become a Christian, and that was the one who bad said he was not one because he was ','not man enough." A great many steadfastly intended to become Christians at some .period, but wanted to wait until just before they came to die. They wanted to give God the dregs of their lives, and to be just enough of a Christian to purchase heaven at the close. That was not manly. A second reason was because God's work needed him. It was not a good thing to always appeal to men to come into tbe church out of selfish considerations. If one told a man that the church would do him good he will tell the truth, but he should also be impressed with the fact that it would help him to help others. A man should always be willing to make the reply which Hobab did to Moses "If you really need me I'll go." The city, the church, the world, tbe home needed every person. Tbey needed tneir influence. Man? men would be responsible for scores of souls besides their own. Among them are husbands who throw cold water on the religion of their wives, and fathers who warp the souls of their children a3 Chinese fathers warp their children's feet. A third reason was because in ' becoming a Christian one is filled with bleBsednessin this world. There was a hundred fold more enjoyment in this present time for the man who was a good Christian than for tbe man who was not. The richest 'pleasures in the world paled before one moment's experience of the love of God in the heart. The final reason was that Christianity not only yielded a man a hundred fold more in this world but it insured him everlastine peace in tbe world to come. The evangelist said he was not ashamed to' confess that be wanted an assured hope of everlasting life, and that there were very few men in the world who were not the same way. John Roach, the great ship builder, had asked to be baptized and taken into the Christian Church when be found that he had to die. Krupp, the gun manufacturer, did not live a Christian life, but wben he came to die he begged for mercy. As the preacher said, "he died a groveling, coward's death, and went out of the world uttering shrieks and groans." General Grant said at death, that the great regret of his life was that he had not led an open Christian life. General Logan had sent for a Christian minister aud asked to receive the communion of the church. While every man who was not a Christian did not die in misery, no man who was not a Christian had ever died with a hope of a future life. The evangelist then compared the action of Colonel Ingersoll at the grave of his brother with that of Dwigbt L. Moody at the grave of his brother, and followed un the comparison with these remarkable words: 'When that times comes when the death angel knocks at my door and calls for one of my dear ones; and when she is carried out and placed in tbe narrow grave, and when those awful elods come rattling down upon that coffin-Hi with their unutterable sound; and when I go back to the desolate home, I want something more to cheer me than the 'waving grasses and the rustling trees, and the singing birds, and the ice-cold peaks of two eternities, with a narrow vale between,' and I wantto hear something more than the 'bitter echo of a wailing cry.' I want the One to stand by my side that stood by those bereaved sisters at Bethany, and to hear that voice saying, 'Thy brother shall rise again.' And when the time comes that my feet must tread those eold waters I want the One with me that knows something about death. I want to be able to say, 'Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me,' and go singing through the valley of the shadow, knowing that I shall find that glowing and eternal life that shall be perfected on tbe other side." Wben tbe evangelist asked those to stand, at the conclusion of his address, who were already Christians, over one-third of the audience responded. He then asked those desiring to make a start in tbe Christian life to stand, and a larger number arose than had answered previously to" any such invitation, whicn called forth the fervent ejaculation, "Praise the Lord," from a number of tbe ministers upon the platform. Mr. Mills said, as he saw them risin so rapidly,, "Be honest, but oh, be wise!" He then dismissed that portion of the audience who desired to go, but nearly one-half remained to the after-meeting, which resulted in a large number of conversions. There will be no meeting this afternoon at the First Baptist Church. Mr. Mills's sermon to-night, at Tomlinson Hall, will be addressed especially to men, although both sexes will - be admitted to the meeting. The choice seats in the front portion of the hall will be reserved for men only, but the gallery will be given to the ladies. OTHER BEX.IGIOCS SERVICES. . The Missionary Services at Roberts Park Church Yesterday. The missionary convention which has been in session for the past two days at Roberts Park was continued yesterday. In the morning, at 10:30, Dr. Tboburn preached. His sermon was thoughtful and impressive, and was listened to with deep attention by a large audienee. In tbe afternoon a missionary fellowship meeting was held, at which all the candidates were present, and an interesting time was had. Tbe convention closed with a mass-meeting at night, at which a large audience was addressed by several speakers. Mr. Jason, the colored delegate from Allegheny, being called upon by Dr. Keen, dwelt on th3 comparative lacs of interest among all Christian people in the missionary cause, upon the comparatively small number of delegates 'vbo were assembled, representing so many million Christian people, and who were about to engage in so important a work. There is no fame, no wo'th, he said, in missionary work, but a far richer and a far more precious recompense. For liimself he was glad that God had not given him riches and power, because he might then have not done what was noblest And best for himself. He would not hae been ready, perhaps, to sacrifice everything, but as it was he gave himself and his whole life, the richest gift any man eould bstow, to tne service of God in foreign lftcda. He believed God had great things in store for Africa, his race's native land. Wonderful progress had been made in the past few years by the efforts of such men as Stanley, Livingstone and Taylor, and the land of Moses's birth, the land that kept the exiled Savior, would yet be one of God'a own countries. There are, waiting in darkness for the gospel of light, 200.000,000 souls, and he was willing to devote his whole life to carrying it to them. In conclusion he spoke of the baneful effects or the whisky traffic which the United States was carrying on with Africa, and urged its suppression. Miss Thoburn spoke, at length of woman's work in India, especially that of Miss Phoebe Rowe. who had been in Indianapolis about a year ago, describing her experience in working among women of all classes in that land. Miss Thoburn related a number of interesting incidents that had happened to her, and spoke of the wide field for labor among the women of the Orient, their degradation, and the blessings that the gospel gave to them. She thought the future was encouraging in every way, in the interest manifested amone Christian people in tbe anse, and the disposition which the people of of the East manifested toward the work. Mr. Bell, a student of Allegheny College, and a delegate to the convention, said the question of missionary work bad always been one of ereat interest to him. and he felt that he had been called to it. He had given the matter consideration for years and willingly and giadiy gave his life to God's service. It would he a great disappointment to him. he said, if tbe church should now, for any reason, refuse to let him go. Dr. Tboburn then spoke of his work in organizing recruits for tbe mission and of the class of persons who usually engaged in the work, discussing also the reasons which impelled people to leave their homes and friends and go to heathen lands. He thought it was, as Paul had expressed it, the constraining love of Christ. The Bihle, he said, expresjy commanded it an i njunotion which Christians have no more right to disregard than thy have any of the ten commandments. ; After other speeches and the singing of several songs the audience was dismissed. .. - Ceatral-Avenu M. E. Chorch. Rev. J. H Ford entered into his pastoral relation with Central-avenue Church, yesterday, under the pleasantest auspices, so far as could be. He was greeted with two unusually large audiences, to whom be preached with great acceptance, both in the morning and at nitrht. The accessories of the service, in the way of music, were such as to evoke warm compliments from the new poster, and they adled much to the pleasure and profit of the day. Dr. Fori was

suffering from a very severehoarseness and sore throat: but be proved himself to be possessed of qualities as a preacher and pastor that will make him both popular and effective in his work." ' - . ' Result of the Revival, v The services at the First Presbyterian Church yesterday morning, consisting of the communion and the reception of new members, were full of interest and encouragement to the pastor and elders. Forty-two were received, of whom twenty-three came in on profession of faith. This may be regarded as, to so'ue extent, the first fruits, so far as concerns the First Church, of the Mills meeting; for even of those who presented letters, some bad held them for a long time, delaying to make their choice of a new ehurch home, until wakened up to a clearer sense of duty by tbe services of the past two weeks. HELPING THE SKILLED MECHANIC. Natural Gas Creates a Ne w Trade Oat of an " Old One, and Aids the Unemployed.

While trench-digging and pipe-laying have brought here a large number of workmen, there is a class of skilled mechanics who are being greatly increased and benefited by the introduction of natural gas. Three months ago there were in the city twenty-one individuals and firms engaged in plumbing and gasfitting, hut about that time stores where natural-gas supplies and fitters could be secured began to advertise themselves by exhibiting all tbe articles required in fitting houses for the cheap fuel. "I think," one engaged in the business said last night, "that about the first of the year there were not more that one hundred and fifty gas-fitters in Indianapolis, counting employers and employes. Now there are three hundred, with the number increasing constantly. The increase is from those who know nothing of . the work except to fit pipes and fixtures for natural gas. It has become a specialty, and two or three years ago men who were not making much at other trades learned how to solder and lit pipe, and are now doing welL Some are proficient workmen, and are now in "business for themselves. Others will never be anything more than helpers, and poor ones at that. I learned the trade in Kokomo, and came here four weeks ago and got a job. The second day my employer sent me out to solicit contracts for piping houses, and I succeeded so well that I have been at it ever since. I am doing well on $12 a week, in addition to board, which my employer pays." "How many shops for natural-gas supplies are there in the city?'' he was asked. "About seventy-five as far as I know, and all of them are on the North Side. I have not been south of Washington street yet. Enough shops may be in that quarter to make the number one hundred or more. Tbe employes average about four to each shop, but there are many places stowed away in odd corners where the owners do all the work except with tbe help they get from apprentices. We have to solicit trade now, but within a few weeks the consumers will come to the fitters. I went to a gentleman the other day and submitted plans and figures. He had those of eight other bidders, but I got the work because my plan pleased him. He said he looked at tbe finish and neatness of the work as well as to its safety and durability. The cost by many is considered only as a secondary matter. People who have fine houses do not want the pipes put in so that they will detract from the attraotireness-of rooms. Many of the fitters do good work except in that respect They do not understand how to conceal the pipes without a great expense. "Is there an advantage to the consumer in having low-pressure pipes in the alleys!" "No, but the companies get a decided benefit iu that way. They were shrewd in going into the alleys instead of the streets. If they lay the low-pressure pipes in the streets they must provide a longer service pipe to the property line. In the alleys they do not go more than eight or nine feet to the property line, and from that point the consumer has to lay longer connecting pipes. If the pipes are in the street the advantage is the other way. The companies have longer service and tbe consumer1 shorter connection to provide. Iu the cost cf the work to the consumers there is a difference of $15 to $25, whether he makes bis connection from the street or alley. The other day I had about concluded a contract for fitting a house, when the owner telephoned the company which is to supply him with gas to Know if its pipes were to be laid in the street or alley. The company said in the alley, and it became necessary for the consumer to purchase forty feet more of connecting pipe." Work to Begin To-Day. One hundred men will be put to work this morning laying the mafns of the Gas Trust Company from Noblesville to this city. The contractor says he will be able to complete the work in less than forty days. EEPCBLICAN GAINS IN THE STATE. The Township Elections how that the Party Is in Excellent Working Order. Chairman Huston, of the Republican State central committee, spent Sunday in the city. Last night a Journal reporter asked him what he thought of the political outlook in Indiana by the light of tbe recent township elections. "The result of the spring contests, " he replied, "are amply satisfactory to the committee and to all Republicans. I think I may say better than we had expected by a good dal. Our success in the township elections m 1886 was. as all who are posted know, something phenomenal. It surprised the oldest and most reliable politicians and simply amazed the Democrats. Instead of losing, as the committee expeeted, the Republicans, so far as I am able tt judge from returns received from a great majority of the counties, have absolutely made a gain. Tbe Democratic claim that the result hae, . in tbe slightest, been favorable to them, is entirely without f oundation and merely a wild and unsubstantiated assertion. We prefer to give opinions based on figures, and shall publish, in a few days, the result so that the people can determine the situation for themselves. They will then be able to judge which side has had the best of tbe first skirmish." "What is the feeling among Republicans over tbe State? be was asked. "I have never seen the party in better trim. There is more enthusiasm at all kinds of Republican gatherings, more interest in the party's welfare,, more disposition to go to work for its success, and more harmony in every way than I have ever known before. The township elections indicate that fact, and it is that which makes us think that we are going to win. While the township elections show that our party is in good condition, they reveal an opposite state of affairs among the Democrats. The interest manifested everywhere in the organization of the Lincoln Leagufe is another thing that is encouraging. The young Republicans of the State are in earnest and are doing a good work. By tbe way, we shall hold a State convention of the Lincoln League May 2, the day before our State convention meets for the purpose of selecting delegates at large to the Chicago convention. It is the in tention at pres ent to have a mass-meeting in Tomlinson Hall on the night of the 2d, which will be addressed by several speakers cf national reputation. I am not able to state who the speakers will be, but they will be men that the public will want to hear. There will be a large number of Lincoln League clubs organized in the next ten days, so that they may all be represented at the convention. We want to make it a representative gathering of Republicans from all parts of tbe State, and from present indications it will be an enthusiastic and important meeting. Halffare rates will be secured on all the railroads, and special arrangements will be secured at all hotels." "It is a good opening, then, for a brilliant campaign?" "You may set it down as a fact that the Republicans have their war-paint on this year, and are going into the contest with a determination to win. Our campaign hand-book wilr be oat in aoont thirty days. It is in the hands of the printer now, and will make a neat volume of nearly 300 pag-s." "How is General Harrison' name reeeivedF "He is in my lodgment the coming man. the only candidate that is having any considerable growth to-dav. It don't take long to convince a thoughtful Republican of Harrison's availability. I found that to be generally true in my last visit East. I would rather have his chances to-day than those of any candidate East or West. His splendid campaign of 1886 is simply an unanswerable argument in his favor. . This, with bis eminent fitness for the place, makes him tbe best candidate the party ha, and-1 think there is a growing disposition among Republicans everywhere to recognize that fact" : SplintersIf you ever raw a ghost it must be matter.
