Why Such Meager Results in Most Churches? Definite Aim To Get Converts Is Not There

Women Who Have Obtained Members for Churches by Personal Solicitation and Work. The text "He that fvinneth souls (make good, and the failure of these is wise".

You j know there are vast multitudes in this enlightened land of ours that are in open rebellion against God. "We will not have this man, Jesus Christ, to reign over us," is the heartless cry that wings its flight from office, and shop, and store, and factory, and home, and college, and the busy mart of trade.

more. He will do no more. They say they will give us the ser-: mon on the mount, or the Decalogue, minu3 the things that they don't like. They say, "we have no king but self" and the only law that multitudes of people recognize Is the law of their own desires and ambitions. They do the things because they personally want to do it, and they don't give a rap what influence it has upon their character or what influence the!.' conduct has upon others that are looking to them for an example. All the law they know is the law of their own desire. That s all! And so our Ixsrd Is now rejected , and by the world disowned; by the many still neglected, but by tne tewj enthroned." That is true of the de-i nominations that are represented in i these meetings, too. j Wouldn't Take Long To Go To Hell. Out in a western state where I live, four years ago they made a report that during that year now there were three hundred churches oJ that denomination in that state antTthey spent three hundred thousand dollars for current expenses they held forty-six thousand meetings and during the year there were just eightyseven men and women converted and joined those churches on confession of faith. I suppose that is this safe and sane evangelism that I hear so much about.

wny 1 taiK proD&oiy in a way inai may grate on your nerves. But you will realize that I am only telling you the truth; you will all open your eyes. What is Cause Of Meager Results. Now, what's lacking? Why these meager results? Why the expenditure of so much energy and time and money? I will tell you why it is. It's because there is not a definite effort put forth to persuade a definite person to accept a definite Saviour at a definite time and that time NOW. That's the whole thing in a nutshell, boiled down into the fewest sentences I can put It In, because there is not put forth a definite effort to persuade a definite person to accept a definite Savior, Jesus Christ at a definite time, and that time NOW, N-O-W! That's why we are not making headway. But wait! This element of failure is not simply confined to the church. Ninety-nine per cent of the business men fail. A banker told me in Chicago that forty years ago there were one hundred business houses, any one of whose paper would have passed without protest, and today only four of those houses were named. The rest of them have been ruined, gone into bankruptcy, out of business. Four of them, after forty years, and they all passed without protest at any bank. And only about three men out of a thousand succeed Just about three. Seventy-five percent of the lawyers who graduate from law school fail to make good. Sixty-five per cent, my friends, of the physicians fail to

So when Ben Harrison and Grover Cleveland ran for President in 1888, fhev went to work and thpv took th city and divided it and sub-divided it until tly got it down into blocks.

Years ago a man went into a boot and shoe store in Eoston and found a young fellow selling shoes and boots. He talked to him about Jesus Christ and won him for Christ. The 1 don't suppose there are five people in this audience that do. His name was Kimball, and so God used Kimball to win Moody, but he used Moody to win the multitude. Have Sat So Long They're Mildewed. Andrew didn't have sense enough to win the multitude but Peter did. That's the way God works. Oh, I get so sick of people being dead you've sat around so long you've mildewed. The Earl of Shaftsbury, who gave sixty-five years of his life working among the costermongers and the fallen and the submerged and mudsills of London, was won to Jesus Christ by a servant girl in their home. He was wavering, going down the line with the gang of young bloods, and his father died. This servant' girl, a godly girl, , said. "You inherit all the honor and all the wealth that goes with the name of Shaftsbury, and are you going to go to a premature grave the way you're going, the life you are living, and bring disgrace upon your father's memory and your mother's?" The Earl of Shaftsbury, when eighteen years of age, fell on his knees and gave his heart to Jesm Christ and when he died, his funeral was the greatest ever held in England except when a king or a queen had died. See what she did? She won him to the Lord and then the Lord took him and used him to win the multitudes. Charles G. Finney, after learning the name of a man or woman, in-

The alarm was sounded and men came and volunteered and with pick and shovel, picking, my friends, to difl quickly to the men lest they die. Up "ittered an old 1 man 75 years old, threw off his cap and coat and his vest, spit on his hands and picking up the pick, he picked and picked. He stood tottering, about ready to fall, and some of the younger men said to him, "Grandpa, get away and let us young fellows do this." He said., "Great God, boys, I've got three sons down in there; I must do something." And If It isn't your boy, it's somebody else's. If it isn't your girl, it's somebody else's. Take my advice. That's the trouble with the world today. We don't care a rap what becomes of others so long as we get through the world. Now you may soon go, you may die and they may die and you may live and they may live and both may die but no imatter whether you go first or last you've got to meet at the Judgment. That's settled! You've got to do thatl v . . : J screamed and wrung her hands in grief, and as the carriage was driven away and after things had been cleaned up, the minister went to see this girl and said, "I noticed your hysteric grief at the grave," He said, "Was Fhe a Christian?" She said, "I noticed her growing careless with her companions and going Into places that the best you could say of them was that they were questionable, and the girl said to him, "Well. I was sure you'd speak to her, for you know more about those things." And he said, "No, I didn't speak to her. I intended to but," he said. "I didn't. I was sure you would. She was a girl and you were a girl and you better understood one ' another. Let's go and see her mother," and the minister and the Sunday school teacher went and talked with the girl's mother. She said, "Yes, I noticed it. . I used lo plead with her and she would get mad at me, thinking I was interfering with her company, and I hope you spoke to her." Neither of them had, and she'd gone to wait up at the judgment bar to witness against the three her mother, the preacher, and the Sunday school teacher, for they had said nothing. There Must Be Confession of Sir. "He that winneth souls is wise!" He is wise! . And so there must be a confession of sin. The sin of neglect confess 'that; and the sin of unforgiveness, the sin of indifference. David said, "If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me." "He that winneth souls is wise!" My friend Dr. Broughton used to be pastor of a big Baptist church in Atlanta, Ga. He went to London and has since returned and he is now in Knoxville, Tenn. When he was a young minister, he went out to help a pastor in revival meetings. He said he'd ask God to forgive him a good many times and he said he went and' preached, and never saw such a dead, lifeless, indifferent, apathetic crowd in all his days. He didn't believe there there was such a crowd this
side of the cemetery. Nobody smiled and they all looked like epitaphs on a tombstone. He said he asked for a show of hands and nobody would iift them. He'd ask for a request for prayer and nobody would appeal. To every appeal they were as deaf as Hades and he was discouraged about it, and one time he made an appeal and he said, "If there Is a man here who wants us to pray, a father wants us to pray for his children, lift your hand."

And grouped in front of the niche where Rev. Sunday shakes the hands of the converts, the three, stood waiting to be first to shake hands with Billy Sunday as they were first to reach their feet Asks for Full Gift . "It is God's mercy that you are enjoying the brain, the hands, the sense of smell, the hearing' that he gave you," shouted Sunday as he raged and gestured about the platform. "God asks you to present your body and your mind to him. And a gift means one that Is given without strings attached, a thing that is given for the Lord to do what he pleases with." In the midst of his sermon, he digressed to preach on patriotism. "If you share your country's blessings, you should also 6hare your country's dangers," he shouted, with a wonderful display of activity, as he ran and slid from one end of the platform to the other. "I am as sincere a conscientious objector to war as any other man," he declared, "even the president was reelected on a pacifist program But when the thing came, I . was for carrying it through as hard a3 the next one." Denounces Debs. Shaking his head while the sweat drops flew in showers in all direction, he suddenly stopped still in the mid: of his racing, and facing the audi I ence, boomed. "It's the birds lik Debs, Emma Goldman, and that kinl that I am after, the ones that trie-1 to put things in the way of the government during the war." Breaking suddenly back into th theme of his sermon, he began, "Giv to the Lord, let him have your feet, and there would be a lot less walking in some places, and a lot more turning your toes in the direction of prayer meeting." i "God never asks you to do anything that is unreasonable," declared Rev. Sunday." "He may ask you to do things that are, but they are not unreasonable." - Beams Satisfaction "And I know that when I come to the judgment seat, after all these years of going away from home, from the babies and the children, away from seeing them grow up, when I leave the strain of traveling about the country, that I shall say Lord, I'm satisfied." Here he eat down In the chair on the platform, and beaming a particuuarly happy smile at the audience, he sat back contented, and easy. It was one of his few really relaxed moments while on the platform, and the only" one of the evening. "No one works harder, sleeps less or can eat fewer things than I can," he had said earlier in the sermon. "I seldom go to sleep before midnight or 1 o'clock, and then I drop off into only a light sleep, while all the time the things that I have been preachingabout for the day, keep running through my mind." "Oh how I hate hotel life and food," he added. Asks for Converts. At the call to come forward, there was a hesitation for the first few seconds, while Sunday, standing on the edge of the platform urged the delegations, and the representatives of the companies to come forward in a body. The first to break, were several HiY boys that had been occupying the second row of seats. Following the first three that broke, a number of others followed, and then from the side aisles came three men, and a woman, the first of the adults to hit the trail.
