It, waa the central emporium aft Ike Levantine trade, lu that prosperous aad brilUakt city lie-re waaa ChriaUauChurch established. After it had existed fur awkUo it waa racked down b v ah earthquake It was rebuilt, ^bao it was consumed by a con flag rati on that swept over the entire city. That church went through Are itud trouble and disaster. but kept on to groat spiritual prosper!rr. THe that waa, that church had tho grace of Ood, an ever-aotive principle. Ha* H been otherwise, all the grandeur of architecture and all the pocap of surroundings would oaly hare been the arnkment of death-the garlands Of a cotta, the pi tunes of a hearse. It may be profitable to consider what are the elements of a live Church. 1 remark ia the lira! place that one characteristic of su -h a Church is punctuality in meeting ft* oagagi-menta. Alt eoriesiaatieal institution* have financial relations, and they ought to meet their obligations at the bank. Whoa a Church of God is not as faithful la Hs promises as the Hank of Ragland, it cea-ea U» be a Church of (Kid, It ought te be understood that prayers can hot paint a church, and prayers can not pay the winter's coal bill. Aud prtijOfa cau util meet the insurance; and that white prayer* can do a thousand things, thorn are a thousand things that prayers can not do. Prayer for aiy particular church will never reach heavoa-hlgk unless It goes down pock ?t-deep. la my oharch at the West there whs a man of comfortable means who used to pray for his paster In such elongated style that he became a nuisance to the prayer-meeting; asking God. In a prayer that was almost without •.-eaatag. that the pastor ntight b> Messed tn his basket and ia his store, while the fact was he never paid anything. If we pray for the advene *me:it of the church an.l do not of our m-ans contribute for l ts advancement. our prayer-la only mockery Let thecharch of Umd then meet Ms obligations on the outside, and let the member! of the congregation meet the obligat on* on tho inside, aad the church will ha financially prosperous. Let aio say, alto, that there must be punctuality t« the attendance on the house of the L ird. If the servico begins at 10:30 In the morning, the regular congregation of n live chureh will nat come at J 10:4ft; ir tho service ii to begtn at 7:30 In i he evening, the regular cony re eat ion of a live church will not ontin- at < :45 In some churches I have noticed the people a-e always tardy. Thera are some people who

are it;ways law incy were oorn roi late, aud the probability lather Will die too late. The rustling of dreaso* up the aisles, spd the slamming-of doors, and the t reading of heavy feet, is poor inspiration for a minister. It requires great abstraction in a pastor's mind to proceed with the preliminary oxerciaos of the church when one-half or the audience seated are looking around to sec the other half comtnin. Such a difference of atten,lance upon the houec of Qod mnv be a difference of timepieoes. but the live church of which I am shaking ought to go by railroad time, aa-t that is pretty welt understood tn all our communities There is one hr an that ought is be sung is a great many Christian families oa Sabbath morning: Early, my Qod. wittiest daisy. 1 basis to seek Thy piasfc Another characteristic of a lira church la the fact that alt the people participate m the exercises. A stranger ran tell by the way the first tune start* whether there ia aay life there. A church that docs not sing is a d»ail church, it ia awful to And a cold driaxle of music coming down from the organ loft, while all the people beneath It *tt tn alienee. When a tune wanders around, lonely and unfriended, and ia finally lost amid the arches because the people do not Join in it, there is not much melody made unto the Lord. In Heaven they all sing, though some thare can not aing half as Svell as other* .] The Methodist Church has sting all ! around the world and gone from conquest to conquest, among other thing* because it ia a singing church; and any Christian church organisation that with enthusiasm perform* this part of Its duly will go on from triumph to triumph A church of (iod that ran sing can do any thing that ought to be done. We go forth Into this I holy war with the Bible in one hand and a hymn-book lathe ether. U. ye who used to stag the praises of the Lord aad have got out of the habit, take year bar pa dgwa from tha willows. 1 HE glad to know that, aa a church, wo are making ad vancement tn this respect. When I came to be your pastor tve had an excellent choir In the little chapel, and they aang very sweetly to us Sabbath by Sabbath; but evar aad anon there, tvaa«trouble, for you know than:.eehSkqin tb# United Stale* arc the Wa go on.

The Sabbath school is aat a eappleawat to tho church; it i* Its right arm. But you say there are dead churches that hare Sab bath-ached*. Tea, bat the Sabbath schools are dead, is* It ia a dead mother holding in her arm a dead child. But when the superintendent, and teachers, mad scholar* come on Sabbath afternoons together, their faces glowtngVlth interest and entlmiasta. and their songs are heard all through the ererrlses. and at the close they go away tee Hag they hare been on tboHoant of traalflgar atioa—that is a lire saflaui, aad it ta ctihraeteristic of a liveahovah. There is ealy one thinj 1 have agalaet the Sabbath-schools ef this country, aad (hat .ia, they are too respectable.

They are cohitag ap to be the i , and women of Uu» country. That spark of Iniquity that might now ho put out with one drop of the water of life will become the conflagration of every green thing that God ever planted in the aoul. That which ought to hare been a temple of the Holy Ghoet will become a acarred and bliatered ruin—every fight quenched and ever* altar in the dust. That petty thief, who slips into your stores and tabes a yard ef year doth from your counter, will become the highwayman of the forest, or the burglar at midnight, picking the lock of year money-safe and blowing up your store to hide the villainy. A great army, with staggering step, and bloodshot eye and drunken hoot, they are coming on-gathering recruits from every grog-shop and den of infamy in the land, to take the ballot-boa ami hurrah at the elections. The hard-knuckled list of ruffianism will have morq power than the gentle hand of intelligence and aobnety. Men, bleated, aad with the signature of-wu burned la front the top ot the forehead to the bottom of the chin, will look honest men out' of countenance. Moral corpses, which ought to be buriel a hundred feet deep to keep them from poisoning the air, will rot in the face of the sun at noonday. lud ustry. bo unap of in her plain frock, will preciated. while thousands will wander around in idleness, with their hands on their hips, saying: "The world owes us a living.” O, what a tremendous power there is in iniquity when uneducated, and unrestrained, and unblanched it goes on concentrating, and deepening and widening, and gathering momentum, until it swings ahead with a very triumph of desolation, drowning like surges, scorching like flames, crushing like rocks I What are you going to do with this abandoned population of the streets? Will you gather them in your churches? it is not the will of your Heavenly Father that one ef these little ones should perish. If you have tea respectable children in your class, gather iu ten that are not respectable. If in your Bible class there be twenty young men who have come from Christian homes and elegant surrounding* let those twenty ronng mea go out and gather In twenty more of the young men of the city who aro lost to Ood snd lost to society. This outside population, unless educated ani restrained, will work error in ages that are to come. Years ago, at New O leans, when the cholera was raging fearfully* a steamboat put out just before nigbtfsll, crowded with paspengers who were trying to escape from the pestilence. After the boat ha.l been out a little while the engineer fell with the cholera! The captain. In consternation. went doiwn among tha passengers snd asked: "Is there any one here who kuows any thiag about engineering;" A swarthy mad replied: ■ I am an engineer. “Well." said the captain. “I would bo very glad if you would take charge of t^is boat.” The man went to the engine. The steamer moved more rapidly, until after awhile, the captain and some passengers were alarmed, and they wont to see what was the matter, and they found that this was a maniac engineer, and that (je was seated es the safety valve; and as; they came to him he said: i

•‘I am commissioned of Satan to drive this steamet to he!!!*’ And he flourished his pistol, and would not come down. But after awhile, through some stratagem he was brought from his position, and the lives ol the passengers were saved. Oh. my friends, that steamer hal no auch peril as our institutions are threatened with, if the ignorant and unrestrained children of this laud shall come up in their ignorance ami their crime to engineer our civil and religious institutions, and drive them on the rocks. Educate this abandoned population or they, will overthrow the institutions of thia land. Gather them iato your Hath bath-schools. I congratulate you that many have been gathered. Go forth, teachers, in the name of the laord Jesus Christ, and m the coming Sabbaths may there be found gathered scores and hundreds of these wanderers, and So steal of eighteen hundred In the Babbath-school we shall see tbrei thousand or four thoussand, and the grace of U-sl will come down npon them, and the Holy Spirit will bring (hem all Into the truth. Another characteristic or a live church is one with appropriate architecture. In the far West and amid destitute populations a log church is very appropriate— the people living la log houses. But in communities where people live la comfortable abode*, a church uocommodious or lacking In beauty is a moral nuisance. Because Christ was boro iu a mangsr is no reason why we should wortnip him in a barn. * Ijct tbs churches of Jesus' Christ be uot only comfortable, but ornate. Years ago we resolved to have a comfortable church. We resolved that itsheuMbe amphitheatrical in shape. The prominent architect s of the country, after figuring <fh the mat. •er a good while, said-thas such a church -would not be eburehty, and they would have nothing to de with the enterprise, But after awhile we found an architect willing to i isk his reputation. He put up. for u* the first tabernacle in amphitheatrtcal style. We liked it All who came liked/ft. Tbts building followed in the same style. We believe it is appropriate and adapted. An angular church will have an angular theology. The Church of Jesus Christ ought te bo a great family eirdo. thd'pcipti only the Arc-piece around which 'they are gathered in sweet and domestic communion. But when oar Brat tabernacle went up. o the caricature aad the aocCiBg! They said: “It's a hippodrome! It's a holy cireosl It's Talmage's theater." ’But tho Hard name down with power npon that old building, ami made.it the gate of Heave# loo great manv. And this building followed. That we were right te persisting in tho Style of architecture 1* proved by the fhet tint there sixty or seventy churches in the United States in the name style. Indead, our tabernacle has revolutionised church architecture in this country. A lire church must have a commodious, • comfortable, aa adapted building.

I oould tell yon at om night, when 1 stood at the ead of tho platform, aad a gentl»—ti passed mo, Us cheek brenxed with the sea, and as «eot into UwUuquiry-reom I “I am ao Bngtishman.** « laakl: “lamt In.” l he said to i That night he gave his heart to the Lord, it was s clear case of quid: hut thorough roarers ion, Passing out at the daws of the inquiry meeting, J said:; “Haw long hare you been in Uds ec on* try?"

'differ He said: “I leave to-morrow for Canada, and thence I go to Halifax, aad thence to Furope, aad FU never be here again.” I aaid: “T think you must hare come to this country to hare your soul saved?” He said: “That certainly was the reason.” ‘V In that other room, one night, at the close of the service, there sst among other persons three looking ao cheerful that I said *> Uysetf: “These are sotssxitM inquirers.'' I aaid to the man: “Are you a Christian!” He aaid: “lam." 1 aaid: “When did you become a Christian r» He said: ‘To-night.” His WjUfe sat next to him.

We have never been here before and we shall never be here again.'' I hare heard from them since. They are members of the Church of Jesus Christ, in good and regular standing, eminent fOr consistency and piety. And eo Hod has made it a sooi-aaving church. . But I could tell .rcu „f a tragic aoene : When at the close of the service, I found a man upon one of these front seats, wrought upon moat mightily, I said to him: “What is the matter F* “He replied: “I am a captive of strong drink; I came from the West; I thought, perhaps, you might do mu some good; I And you can't do me sty good; I And there ia no hope for me." I said; “Como into this side room and wo wiU talk together.” . 1 ‘Oh.'no!” he said; “there's no need ofmy going in; lama lost man; I have a beautiful .wife;. I hove four beautiful children; I had a tine profession; 1 have had a thorough education; I had every opportunity a man ever had. but lama captive of strong drink; Hod only knows what 1 suffer.”

1 sail, cuivu'iii<ru, httuii? *u utio and we’ll talk together ahont It” ••No,” said he, “I can't come; yon can’t done any good. I was on the Hudson Hirer Railroad yesterday, and comma down I resolved never a-ain to teueh a drop of strong drink. While I sat there a man came in—a low creature—and sat by me; he had a Whisky flask, and he said to me; “Will you take a drinkl” ”1 said no; bat oh. how I wanted it* and as I saM no it seemsd that the liquor curled up around the mouth of the flatk and begged: “Take me* take me! take me!’ ‘•1 felt that I couldn’t resist it, and yet 1 was determined not to drink, ani I rushed out on the platform of the car, and thought I would jump ofl ; we were going at the rate of forty miles an hour, aul I didn’t dare to jump; the paroxysm of thirst weut off, and I am here to-night.” I said: “Comein. Til pray for you and commend you to God.” Ho came in trembling. Some of you remember. After the service we walked cut and np the street- I said: “You have an awful struggle; I’ll tace you into a drug sums perhaps the doctor can give you some medicine that w ill help you in your struggle, though, after ail, you will have to depend upon the grace of God.” 1 said to the doctor: “Can rob give this man something to help him in his battle against strong drink “I can,” replied the dootor, and bo prepared a bottle of medicine. 1 said: ’There is ao alcohol in this—no strong drink!” “None at all,” said the doctor. “How long will this last!” 1 inquired “It will last him a week.” “Oh,” X said “give us another bot".l&.” We passed out into the street and stood under the gaslight. It was getting late, and I said to the man: ,, “1 must part with you. Put your trust in the liqrd and ho will see you through. You win make use of this mediefhe when the paroxysm <’f thirst comes on.” A few weeks passed away, and X got a letter from Booton,saying:' ‘ Disk FrixsO—I lactose the money yon paht lor that medieSae.
