outside of their legitimate business ai reporters of what interests the people Thus, I repeat, God uses the reporters of the daily papers as knockers at the doors of sinner's hearts, and I believe it will be «o here in Terre 1 laute.

Secondly—Jesus knocks ot tle door of little children's hearts. Up in Newburypori, a short time since a great strong sea captain cot up and told his experi ence like a noble man that he was 1 Ic naid that JieJiad never carsd for such meetings and would never go to church. One day his little daughter,a beautiful little girl came home and climbing upon his knee and placing her arms around his neck said. "Papa have von -found Jemis. won't you pray That did 'lie work my friend and to-day that strong man is worker lor Christ, and I belie«c it will lie repeated here, and many a -winner will lind a knocker at the door of his heai There w^s a noted inlillel in St. Loui* A mar.

Hvtt I said that I never did sued a tiling and never would They said that thj man wa poisoning the minds of voting men of 'h c:mmuni ty by telling them that religion was a di: lusion etc., and that lie was doing an injury. said where is he. point him out. I selected six inli«iels who Irtd been •converted and told them to go and gallic around hi and tell their experience Then I went down to him and said "are you a Christian?" "No, I .am an infidel.' That's what they all told m-. I replied aud turning to one of the infidels who had been converted I said "how is i'. with you my friend, lie replied that he had been in infidel, but converted. "Tell us about it," says 1, and he told his experience and so on until the whole six had told their experience.. Then we left him. A night or two afterwards his little girl, not six years of age. was converted. This lull girl put her little arms around her fathers neck and said, "Papa, wont you come to Jesus, lie saved ine. Papa, wont you kneel kown and jray, and I know lie wail save you." The man who had been •an iniidel sj long, knelt down and wept .and prayed, and gave his heart to Christ

We got a telegram from the legislature of Missouri, inviting us to lipid meetings then?, and between seventy and eighty ot us went to jr. tie re on Citv.,aud held anieet'ing in .the Senate Chamber of the state of

Missouri. Senators were there, Representatives ere there, leading citizens of St. JLoui6 were there, and tose. senators fieaid him preach, telling of his experiences and of how the Lord had used his little girH as a knocker at the door of his

Iveart. Many and many of these senators and representatives of the state of Missouri wept and *ai "there is something in this religion alter all. God grant that to-niglit that there may be one hundred children here throw their arms around ..your necks and teach you that there tt«metl'itng«n th:« religion, that there uch a thingas King born again, that

Jcsits did die on Ca'lwarys Ci-o S. That is my earnest prayer. God grant it. Thirdly .--J esjs knocked at the door »f Christians heart.

Doycuknow mv friends that there are "a great inany who do not read the Hible, who do not kno\v anything about religion only what they see. Thats one reason so many ministers have such hard times in the West. The people contradict the preaching of the min ister by their lives. My impenitent friend

I take

your side,

admit that

Christians don't half live up to their religion, I admit that there' are a great many Christians ivho do not Jive as they should admit it my friends. Is their a Christian anywhere here, was your old mother a Christian, was your lather a Chiistian, is your little child a Christian and as there is such a thing as being a Christain can you not be one? There was an infidel who was :y subtle in argument, and a great many talked to him, but to no avail, and at last they gave him up as a hard,case. After two years, having been left alone he knocked at the door of thechyrclh and was admitted to the' membership. He said that it was not preaching that converted him, it was not reading the bible, hut it was from watching the actions of his Chri-itain neighbor. Said he. "I have given him a chance to cheat me, anf lie would not do it I watched him under all ciicumstances When death came and takes away his famil}-, when God gave wings to his property, yes I wat'hed him under all circumstances and I have come to the conclusion that lie had something that I have not. He had something that made him happy."

My friends do you tbink that the superintendent of the Lake Shore railroad was a Christian. I do not know the character of that man but as I read a notice coming along out of Cleveland the other evening that he had shot himself 1 said 'I fear that man was not a Christian, would a Chistian shoot himself. He was not blamed for that horrible accident. Could he have taken a pistol and blew his brains from his head if he had been a Christian?

My friends you may seem to be getting along without Christianity just now but there are times when every one needs it. That man over the way had Christianity, he said he wanted new testimony, he read God's word, found that Jesus died tor him, God ^attended to his needs and he prayed "God be merciful to me a sinner" then he loved God's people, then it was, he went and joined the church, that is the truest way Jesus knocks at the door. My mother once knew Mrs Brown, who lived in Conneticut she was a poor woman and a house full ot little children. Every day she used to go

down by a rich lady's door on the banks of a stream and kneel down and

pray. One day this lady asked hat she

went out there tor she

From little ones and care,

to church. She saw the light flickering way across the val'evs and she said to herself: "There, there is the professor, he had to walk two miles up there to-night and there he is praying for us poor sin ners." That was a knocker at the door of her heart, and she fell upon her knees and praved. She was at the next prayer meeting and is tc-day a Christian.

My friends I do not believe there is a man woman or child who does not think that some one is a Christian and Jesus' u*es them as a knocker at the door of your heart, and ifyou will open the door he will come in and sup with you. That is one reason I love to speak to children I speak of Gods great love. I say nothto iriijhten the children, of othing but ilie lave and kindness of Jesus.

Fifthly—Jesus knocks at the doors of sinner's hearts bv threatenings. It comes by such as the Ashtabula accident. An express agent was telling mc yesterday that three expressmen went djwn, down, down.

Jesus comes and says. "Oh sinner, be vealso rvady for any such thing." I talked to the expressman solemnly, I told him that God ha.I used that as a knocker at his heart.

I said to him, "where would you have gone had you en in that accident, where there was musi and joy forever.'" His eyes dropped, and I saw that he was not a Christian.

Mr Hammo continued at length, speiiking of the lack of faith some people had in Christ, and cited as an example: A nobleman in London who advertised that he would pxy the debts of every one who would call at his place, at a specified time. Hut the people had been fooled so often, that in the whole city of London, but two persons had the faith to g» and have their debts liquidated.

He told several other anecdotes which were highly interesting, and succe.ded in keeping the vast audience completely spellboitud for the time b^ing.

When Mr. II. had concluded, he stepped down among the audiencc, and with his corps of workers, proceeded to hold an inquiry meeting. from Tuesday's Daily issue.

Terre Haute, the modern rc-presenta-tion of all the vices of combined Sodom and Gomorrah, is in the toils. From the uttermAst depths, like a storm driven sea, the city is heinj stirred on the subject of religion. Without discussing the good ®r evil of revivals, or the personal strength and piety of Mr. Hammond, the fact of awakened interest, it is the part of the GAZETTE to chronicle.

Tiie meetings yesterday were of such character as was satisfactory to the ministerial profession. The yesterday morning meetings together with Sunday meetings wejre fully reported ia last night's GAZETTE.

LAST NIGHT.

The ushers were in a large part relieved of work for the crowd hastily surged in and occupied the seats.

Tin- choir assisted by the entire congregation joined heartily in singing "Alas And Did My Savior Bleed afterward, •'Pass Me Not O Gentle Savior-"

Rev Darvvood stated that in the afternoon meeting there were more seekers after salvation than those present to receive instructions.

He desired that the parents turnout in force at the next childrens' meeting in order lhat justice be done them.

After turther singing alternated with prayer, Rev: Abbey announced that the future ^meetings wiil take place at nine o'clock in the morning, at foiir o'clock in the afternoon, and at Seven o'clock in the evening, at Dolling Hall.

Mr. Hammond stac.-d that they would have in the hall the use of MR I'AICJE'S PIANOS

He stated that the afternoon meetings would be as much for adults as for children. He would try to limit them to an hour in'order that the children could go.

Abbey stated that a committee of

one consisting of Mr, Grcenawalt, had been selected on reception and intertaintnen t.

He asked that any desiring to eniertain visitors, report to Mr. Greenawalt.

MR. HAMMOND'S SERMON Mr. Hammond took his text from 25th verse, 7th chapter of Hebrews.

Wherefoie he is able also to sa\ them to the uttermost lhat come unto God bv him seeing^that he ever liveth t) make in terccssion for them."

A Godlv man, a minister was on his dying bed. He seemed troubled and his friends wondered at it.

His friends said: "Why you have been a godly man. You have drawn many to Christ." Oh" sadly responded he." "I feel that I have been "like a painter who stops too often between the beautiful painting and the person looking at it."

Dear friend. I do not want to stand between you and any thing. I am here to day and away to morrow. Dont attach any importance to me. Now if you will observe the text you will see that it is naturally

DIVISABLE INTO THREE PARTS: 1. The ground of Christ's saving ability, viz: His satisfactory work on the cross, and his intercessor)- work before ihc throne. 2 The extent of his saving ability iz: to the uttermost. 3. lie tells us that he is" able to save viz: they that come to him.

The reason why Chtist is able to "save, are first: He hath appeared or. the cross at Calvary, and second, he ever liveth to make intercession for us.

Mr. Hammond continuing, spoTc'e of

A man who lived in the East used to be in the habit of going to a neighborhood prayer meeting, no matter how stormy it was, he was always there. One night in the spring, when the froet was deep, and the air bitter cold, he was the only one there, lie knelt down and prayed for the people iu the village way across the river. On the west mountain there lived a wicked woman who never went

WITHOUT A PENALTY.

Christ came down to the world,took in humanity like you and I he walked upon this earth he proved his divinity. When in the garden he cried "If it be* possible let this cup pass from me." Still he allowed those men to take him, when with a single word he could have smitten them. Seven weary miles he walked that night, stopping finally at Calvary's moun-, where he hung one, two, three hours, with the cruel nails through his hands and feet. All this was done for love of the world.

He spoke pf^hat ancient King Lucas,

T-TyB'jj-* _. |5-J JJ.^9

fa-#

He spoke ot young Norman wha was killed on the E. C. road hurled into eternity without a moment's warning. "Last night young Norman attended the meeting and was impressed with what I said on sudden deaths. Perhaps it was a premonition. He thought the young man was impressed with what he said of the Ashtabula accident and the three express men who were hurled into the presence of their maker. Christianity, however, he insist ed is as well to live by as to die by. It is a great comfort to ail- We cannocbe too earnest in this matter. I have no doubt that ??me thought I was &.'>.» little, rude asking persons to stay to the inquiry meeting. But Oh, friends, 1 could not help it. Tlie imminent danger compel me to such earnestness.

Once while I was in San Francisco twenty persons died during a week who had heard me. There is no time to lose. There is but one way of approach ing God. It is througi. the ministry of your Lord, Jesus Christ. When I was in Great Britain I wished to be

who passed a law that whoever should commit adultery should have

BOTH EYES 11URNED OCT.

His son was the first to break this law, and to the astonishment of his subjects, this justice loving King caused his own right eye to be burned out, and then the eve of his son, thus inflicting purishment 0*1 himself in his son's behalf, and yet sternly executing justice on his offspring. But this act of the heathen King is as nothing, compared with the suffering of Christ, sent of God to atone for our sins.

I le spoke of the character of the CHILDREN'S MEETING. Nothing wai done to scare the children nothing but little simple stories illustrating Jusus' love were told them. Proceeding he said

"l WENT FIVE THOUSAND MILES to see where Jesus was born, and when I got there I wept to think that I had not ioved him more. I remember when the city bur»t on my sight, in the cle-ir morning air, I involuntarily uncovered my head and Mie tears filled my eyes.

But I must pass on to the second part of the text the

INTERCESSORY PART

of Christ's work. Christ not only died that He "might save unto the uttermost" hut "I le ever liveth"' 10 make intercession for 11s. He spoke of a young man named Wil iam Jones who went wt.st go into business when one James Morgan robbed him and then conceived the

HIDEOUS IDEA,

of poiseningh 111. By degrees the poison did its deadly work but just before he died he felt a singular love for his murderer. lie wrote a last letter to his father interceding for the murderer and asked Morgan to take it to his tarher. Morgan reluctantly did this. He read over and over again the letter and filial mustered up sufficient courage to visit tfie parent After a stormy meeting the father forgave him and made to him the bequest he would have given to the son.

You say that is wonderful. It is but not more wonderful than the love of Christ who was murdered by a cruei world, yet nleads with Ilis Father on high, that we may be saved. He is able

TO SAVE UNTO THE UTTERMOST.

There is not a sinner whom Jesus not able and willing to S3ve. Let hiin do it to night, dear friends. lie spoke of a voung min at St. Louis who ran away from his home in Enlanc, telling his mother that he would make a minister of himself. But he became an associate of Tom Alien, a prize fighter was drunken and profligate. Byaccident he got into my meeting. I spoke of mothers praying and weeping for their sons. He went, home to his landlord

ANI» CURSED HIM

for telling me that he had a mother pray ing for him. Of course the landlord knew nothing of it, but he declared that n» one else knew it. But the next night I spoke of mothers across the sea who were praying for their wayward sons. Then he said he was sure that the landlord had told me. He actuuallv lay in wait for me. He said he would.

THUMP ME IN THE Ml'G.

[Laughter.] I didn't know, then, what lhat meant. I learned it afterward from his confessions. But that young man was afterwards converted and is now traveling over the country preaching the doctrine of Christ. Coming to the third point, he said that

"CHRIST IS ABLE TO «AVE.'r -f 3

LAND."

There was but one way to do,and hat was through a ticket from oui American minister. Christ is the one intersessor between us and God. He used in illustra tion the case of one Van Fleet who "came to scoff" at one of the meetings and "staid t.i pray." That man is a consistent Christian man to-day. He is now work ing in the little towns around with fellow mortals. My friends will you unite with us to-night before leaving.

Concluding, he asked that all unite in repealing after him aloud, a prayer. He thought Episcopalians would not objeet. Thcv are accustomed to it. The prayer was as follows:

It is given in part, only, the reporter failing to take the latter part. Each sentence was repeated after him:

Oh, God, be merciful unto me a sinner. Indeed I am a sinner.

I have broken thy laws. But thou hast given thy son for me. He that bled and died on the cross for me.

He e* er liveth to intercede for me. I confess my sins. Oh God, forgive fse mv sins,

Onlv for the sake of hi.n who loved me and gave himself up ferine I now, oh, Father, give myself to thee,

ride together. Mr. Hammond expresses hope in his conversation.

THIS MORNING'S MEETING: Contrary to announcement, the meeting this morning took place at the Congregational church instead of at Dowling Haft, the latter having not been placed in readiness. After opening hymns and prayer,

MR. HAMMOND

made a short address which is condensed below 1 spoke yesterday of the conditions of prevailing prayer. It is well for people to make public confession of sins to address to the throne of grace publicly. Jesus savs if thou bring thv gift to the altar and remember that thou hast a.:ghl against thy brother leave there »hv gift and go and be reconciiec by thy brother and tUen come and oiler thy gift. 1 know nothing of Terre llauteans but I ow a good deal of human nature and 1 know of the shortcomings of it. People get mad and tlare up and become irreconcilably separated.

I remember when I once conducted a meeting in Burlington Iowa Two brothers not only in ihe llesh but in

the

church had previously auarreled and finally caused a division of the church. One built a church of his own. They passed each other on the streets and refused to speak. Well, one das- I preached on ihis very condition' of prevailing pravf-r, z., love for bretheren While in

the

midst of the sermon a tall

man, (one of the brothers) arose and walking down the aisle, threw his arms around

his

brother's neck and asked

forgiveness. It was tearfully and cheerfully given. A great stumbling block was removed and the work proceeded much better. He said he never would forget the eiVect of the morning meetings held therfe, more than thirty gutter drunkards were converted.

He told of gentleman who came into his meetings in New Fngland and stated lhat he had a GODLESS SON IN PRINCETON COLLEGE.

He asked that. in a spirit of brotherly lore, they pray for him. One of the brothers, a Mr. Miller, arose and poured out a volume of earnest supplication to the Power that moves the world. A lew weeks afterward that parent received a letter from his son who stated that on a certain day and hour, (corresponding- to the one on which prayer was made) he was sitting in his room and felt that he would be lost. He fell upon his kncc» and received new life and purpose.

You may s*iv that this just happened so. I insist that it was the result of the pre-.ailing prayer uttered by that man of the meeting. I do believe that if I could take a shorthand reporter around with me I could give the tn

ACTIVAY. (K'CTMLCNCES

hat I know, and he will know, at the time, which will overwhelmingly prove what I say.

He deeply deplored the fact that there, were so many Christians who

had just

enough christiapity to SUP INTO HEAVEN They will have no star in their crown. They never lead a soul to Christ. They have never done any work iu the vineyard. He almost thought it wrong that SHCII shall be admitted.

Some of ycu mjiy t^ink that I enbellish the stories I tell. GOD FORBID that I shall dp so"! I know theni 'to he true. He spoke of a gentleman who, by praving for his six wayward sans finally brought them to Christ. But he did not stop there. He converted many other voting men. So much did he do this that it became a by-word in the village, that when Mr.—prayed for a young man, he must come.

He closed with an eat nest appeal that prayer be offered in a sptrit of brotherly love. He addressed a short prayer to God, and was followed by Rev. Hendersan, Rev. Condit and others.

Mr. Nay lor prayed for the two sisters who went from the meeting the day before deeply interested. All then joined in singing, "Ala and did my Savior Bleed." Mr. Hammond stated that he would then listen to short experience speeches from those present, j'j

MR. HENDERSON,

said he thought the interest is deepening and widening He had spoken to two or three

MR. GARWOOD

said' never seen deeper interest manifested than on the previaus evening at th inquiry meeting, Many were weeping for their sins and earnestely seeking ofter the truth He asked the prayers ot those present for a young man the son of a methodist minister, who died in this city fifteen years ago, and was interred in our ceme lerv. For six months he had been seeking Christ, but had not found him.

Prayer was offered for the young man. MR. ABBEY

had felt very deeply the necessity of a a right word spoken, at the inquiry meeting the evening before. Those taking part should place themselves closer to God. He had spoken to a young man who was groping in the dark one who prayed but siiid he did not get satisfaction from it. He did not pray aright. If Christians talking fo such as him do not use the right word they will not produce the desired effect. He asked prayer for himself and others that power might be granted to enable them to speak aright.

CAPTAIN POTTER

spoke cultv ot" will". It to get ill to

so to Christ.

And I pray Thee for the sake Of Christ's satisfactory work on the cross, and his intercessory work before the throne to receive me and make me thine own obedient chil*.

He closed with the last verse of a hymn. While singing "Judgement Hymn" the inquiry meeting was commenced. The singing was continued most of the time as the inquiry was being held. A

NOTED SPIRITUALIST

in Terre Haute who has fought against the Christian faith for years took Mr. Hammond bv Ihe hand and requested to talk with him. The two have taken a

MR. STERRE^*'

had worked the evening before with a tew young men who were standing in the rear door. They thought at first that they were not interested at all. On cross questioning them he found that they were mere concerned than they knew.

He was greatly interested in a young

man to whom he iad talked to a year before on request, and had induced to pray for himself and afterward to join the church. He joined the Methodist church, according to the rules of that organization, on probation, but when this probation was out he failed to report. He lapsed back into his former state. He is here again.

Mr. S. asked that Mr. Martyn pray for him. Mr. Henderson stated that in view of the very

EXCo.LLh.NT REPORTS GIVEN IN THE NEWSPAPERS

of the meetings that all persons save their copies or get them and mail them to distant friends. I le knew that good could be done in this way.

MR. SAMMIS

spoke of two interesting cases in his experience last night. When lie had concluded Mr. Hammond said that these morning meetings served at drill meetings, to teach workers how to act. lie then announced that the meeting ivould then be converted into a prayer meeting and asked lhat each peison would arise and thank GoJ for some one thing. Many arose and thankcj God for strength, grace, the interest awakened, evidences of conversion that some hardened sinners not in the habit of attending meetings. were present last night that they had worked in the inquiry meeting for ability in working for God that children are interested that sisters and brothers are interested &c.

One lady stated that she h.id dropped all her work to come to the meeting. She loved Jesus so much.

Mr. Hammond stated that the meeting to-night will be at Dowling ilull. lie spoke of open air meetings at Denver which he had conducted among the gamblers. He expressed a determination to fill the church at the morning meetings.

He asked that some christian stand at the gates of the school houses and invite ihe school children to come to the after noon meetings. With fitrdier prayer and singing the audience dispersed. Kruin Wednesday"? Daily Issue.

The ball still rolls. Religious excitement shows high pressure. he interest felt is intense and universal. Another monster meeting was held last night, and iwo moderately attended meetings during the day. The morning meeting was reported fulh in last night's Gazette.

THE CHILDREN'S MEETING

Yesterday afternoon the children had a meeting at the Congregational church. During the progress of tne singing they were arranged into classes with an enthusiastic teacher in charge of each.,.

Of course

THE DEVIL'S TESTAMENT

—the one which lias 5^ leaves—provoking smiles, and told how he first learned what the term meant. •'Jesus of Nazareth Pa.seth By," a great favorite with Mr. Hammond, was sung with good effect by the choir.

The music was, throughout the entire evening exceptionally good. Mr. R. Alder acquitted himself with great credit as its leader.

There were in addition to a piano, at which Mr. Charley McBride presided, two violins and Mr. August Hoberg with his flute. The harmonious blending of all, produced a very pleasing effect.

Rev. Darwood announced the meeting at nine o'clock on Wednesday (this) mwrning, and spoke at length on the necessity of coming on time.

Mr. Hammond chose his text from John III—14'h "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the son of man be lifted up.''

His motto, he stated would be Jesu6, or.ly. That would be the subject in ail the meetings. The liu and Ihe penalty might some time be mentioned but it will be merely in order to biing you t® Jesus.

He spoke of the character of Nicodenus one of the members of the great Jewish San'ntdrim a great professor but no, much of a possessor, of religion Manyt 110 doubt, approached him and asked hiin of the character of Christ whether lie was the true Messiah or not. Nicodemus possibly replied, that he was, himself, in iioibt. Why did not Christ satisfy his curiosity? Why did he not say "I am very happy to inform you I am indeed the*long promised Messiah, I am the one spoken of by the prophet Isaiah."

Illustrating this point he spoke of a young man who approached a surgeon with an uijured arm and asked for medicine. The surgeon would give him none but told him that

Mr. Ilainmondspoke of "The way to be happy," and after he had concluded an inquiry meeting was held among the children nearly all of whom were melted into tears It was quite late before the meeting was deelared tj be over.
