•Behold I have set before thee an open door.’.
Revelations 3:8.
This book is prophetic of the future
of the church and world. With all
the confident attempts that have been
made to explain it, there remains
much of mystery in its sublime
panorama. Yet, there are glimpses
of truth that refresh the hopes and
hearts of men. Among the many
sevens which fill up its vision, none is
better understood than the messages
which our Lord sends to the seven
churches of Asia minor. Not ideal
churches but real. Christ loves to
honor the church—-the local church.
Pleased (o behold her purity of doc
trine and life; quick to discern and
acknowledge the works she has done,
with fidelity seeking to warn against
sinful tendencies and with the earn-
• estncss of divine, unwearied love, be
seeching a return from sin and error.
To this church at Philadelphia, there
is the hopefulness of this Divine as
surance, “I have set before thee an
open door.,’
In this year, the Baptists of this
country desire to make mention of
the Divine Goodness in the way in
which he has led us. In England, a
hundred years ago, Carey and a few
others of his faith commenced the
work of world-evangelization—the
greatest work of the 19th Century.
Standing where we can look over the
100 years, wo can exclaim, What hath
the Lorjy'done for us! Our faith sefis
, Iftmong aM the gild things that greet
4®oiir gaze lhe present.™ furnishing the
great opportunity of the centuries
the open door which God’s own hand
swung so wide for the occupancy of
his people. Let us examine some of
the features of this grand opening and
the spirit in which we ought to meet
it.
1. The great advance that has been
made in the withdrawment of legal
• restrictions and prohibitions of our
’ faith.
We Baptists have maintained with
necessary, persistent consistency that
the gospel is to be preached without
let or hinderment, from any human
authority. That Church and State
establishments are uncongenial to the
spirit and genius of Christianity. Too
often these protests on our part have
been met with the proscription and
punishment of all who dissented from
the world-wide system, which pre
vailed in all Christendom. In our
country, the battle has long ago been
crowned with victory. In many oth
er countlies the iniquitous system
still remains, but is on the wane.
There is a growing sentiment wher
ever freedom is found that this most
stubborn foe must be crushed. Slow
ly, slowly, but, thank God, surely, the
darkness is yielding. More and more
Jnen are emerging to the discernment,
“My kingdom is not of this world.”
What a great door has been turning
on its rusty hinges during the last
hundred years! Shall we not rejoice
in all this ? Yea, rather shall not this
joy fall like the shout of triumph to
the men that have stood their ground
—veterans of faith and hope ?
2. The duty of missions is more
realized than ever before.
Strange that this divinely com
manded work of Christ should
ever have been forgotten. But so it
was. Men lost sight of hll this. God
•aroused a few men who came the
heralds of the dawn. Churches were
awakened as from the sleep of cento
ties. Societies were formed. Men
and women were seized with a divine
enthusiasm. Geography was studied
afresh, books of travellers and navi
gators were consumed—the desire to
know the fields of the destitute be
came strong and operative. The close
of the Century finds an amount of
missionary intelligence and zeal,
which is even yet too feebly felt, but
in contrast with the century ago is as
the noonday to the dawn of the morn
ing. The battle of duty has been
’ fought and won. Ignorance and sei-
fishness may sulk and hide, but the
gr eat bodies of Christians feel as nev
er before the duty of sending the gos
pel far hence to the needy nations.
3. Yea, more than this, these open
fields have been taken possession by
a few laborers. The pioneers in mis
sion work are crying in the wilder
ness the kingdom is coming. A cen
sury ago, the world, the heathen
world was closed; men now living
remember when prayer was made in
missionary concerts, “ Lord open
China.” Not alone China, tut the
world is open. Selfish commerce and
cruel war and many another wrong
has been subsidized in spite of them
selves to open the nations. As the
conquests of Alexander and Rome
were wrested to make their contribu
tions to the progress and help of the
truth, even so have these modern
evils been so turned and used.
Formerly, missionaries had to steal
away against the hard indifference
and worldliness of trade. Now, this
has passed away and missionaries are
regarded, at least, as prime factors in
the civilization of the world. Such is
the golden opportunity. These few
laborers—few in comparison of the
needs of the field—are as the spies of
Canaan.
Shall we hear their cry and hasten
to go up and conquer the land for
Christ?
4. The very facilities which pre
sent themselves are calls to enter the
open door.
The fleet sailing steamship, the con
tinental railways, the easy transmis
sion of news, the translation and cir
culation of the Bible—all these are
index-finger of our ascended and
reigning Lord to the world’s open
doors. God has been guiding and
preparing these munitions for the
spiritual conflict with sin and idola
try and suffering and death.
5. At the opening of this century
there were about twenty millions who
used the English language, now, there
are six times these—one hundred and
twenty millions. What a field for the
spread of the knowledge of Christ.
The evangelization and consecration
of these with the blessing of God
would be for the evangelization of
the world.
We have merely outlined the fea
tures of this great, eventful time.
shall we do ? How shall we
meet these calls ? The door is open
ed by him who comman<|B us to eijiter
and occupy. What ia the spirit in
which we should use this great op
portunity of God ?
1. Consecration of ourselves to
this work. Every one should earn
estly, practically ask, what can I do ?
What ought I to do? Churches
should, on their knees, confess with
sincere sorrow past indifference and
ask for the blessing of being made
ready to do whatever the will of the
Lord is—to enter this open door and
do my work. Prayer should go up
that our churches might send hun
dreds to the actual work ip the heath
en field. Around firesides, parents
should pray that God would raise np
our sons and daughters, laborers for
Christ upon heathen shores.
God wants us, ourselves. This is
the foremost need. Let the Chris
tians gird themselves for the work.
Why look at this, there are more
Chinese in these laundries in Atlanta,
than the whole Southern Baptists
have of their number in China, to
proclaim the glad tidings of salvation.
Tell it not in Gath, publish not in the
streets of Askelon. Oh, that its pub
lication would reach our hearts and
bring shame and repentance to our
Zion.
2. We ought to use our money to
equip and support the hundreds that
ought to go.
Some cannot, ought not to go.
These are under the same obligation
to aid in spreading the gospel as oth
crs. Let churches see to it that every
member not only has an opportunity
to give, but that each gives as the
Lord prospers, until we shall feel the
glow of a large liberality, the quick
ened heart and conscience aiding in
the great endeavor to bring the world
to Christ.
And now, Baptist brethren, how
will you meet these obligations? Wiff
ye enter this open door ? God has
wonderfully and graciously helped us,
not only through this, but all the cen
tunes. Like a spark amidst the rag
ing billows, we have been kept.
Shall we prove ourselves worthy
of the struggles of our fathers ? Yea,
rather, shall we prove ourselves the
obedient children of our Heavenly
Father and enter into these fields
the heritage of Christ, and gather
fruit unto everlasting life. God grant
this great grace upon Israel.
Amen and amen 1

GOD’S WORKS AND WORD.
r
Lesson for April 17, 1892.
Scripture Lesson: Psalm 19’
Motto Text.—The law of the
Lord is perfect, converting the soul.
(Verse 7.)
INTRODUCTICW.
This Psalm was written by David;
but the time when it was written is
not known. Probably it was written
at Jerusalem and it teaches us that
God so reveals himself in his Works
and his Word as to glorify his own
character and, yet, to show man his
own sinfulness and teach him how it
may be got rid of.
EXPLANATIONS.
I. The Teachings of Nature.—
I- V. 1. “The heavens”—the vis
ible heavens, or rather what we see
displayed in them—the sun, moon,
stars and all the grand phenomena of
nature: “declare”—set forth his
“glory” and his power by showing
what he can do; and so, “the firma
ment”—the vaulted expanse above us
—the sky, (which is but another name
for “heavens,”) “sheweth his handi
work”—the work of his hands, or
what he can do.
V. 2. A highly poetical and beau
tiful expression—meaning that God’s
works reveal him and his attributes
continuously; each day and night re
ceives from each past day and night,
the message or revelation of God’s
glory and passes it on to the succeed
ing one, so that there is, from nature,
one unbroken flow of testimony to the
greatness, wisdom and power of God.
Vs. 3,4. The words in italics should
be omitted, according to the Revised
Version, and then the meaning is
that, without speech or words, yet in
a voice inaudible they still proclaim
the great truths of God’s power and
wisdom, through all the earth. “In
them”—in the heavens, he has as
signed a place—“set a tabernacle”—
for the “sun,” which, “as a “bride
groom”—fresh, and with youthlul
vigor, “rejoices as a strong man to
run a race”—because it is done easi
ly, and therefore joyously. »
V. 6. “There is nothing hid frr"
the heat thereof”—the light and ’
of jflie sui» redfiih everjtwhen.
goes from one end ‘of the heavens to
the other. Thus, in God’s works we
learn something of his power and
glory and goodness; but we need a
knowledge of his m.ercy and love and
justice and holiness. We look now
at the
11. Teachings of God’s Word. 7-
10.—V. 10. “The Law of the Lord”
—his revealed will in the Bible, is
“perfect”—holy, just and good— a
complete revelation of his will, (Rom.
7:12,) and free from defect, as a rule
for human conduct, “converting the
soul”—it leads the soul back from
ignorance and sin, to knowledge and
righteousness—restoring it. “The
testimony of the Lord”—that which
he testifies to truth and righteousness,
“is sure”—certain and steadfast, giv
ing wisdom and knowledge to the ig
norant, untaught and inexperienced,
called here, the “simple.” It leads
them to know and trains them to do
God’s will. (2 Tim. 3:15.)
V. 8. “The statutes”—precepts of
the Lord are “right”—not unjust nor
unreasonable, but in accord with
God’s justice and righteousness, “re
joicing the heart”—because the heart
is made glad and joyful by right-do
ing. “The commandment of the
Lord”—his authoritative will is
“pure”—free from all taint of injus
tice, “enlightening the eyes”—the
mind and conscience, removing prej
udice, error and all misconception.
V. 9. “The fear of the Lord”—
meaning his law, for it teaches men
to fear or reverence the Lord. (See
Psa. 34:11; Prov. 1:29; 2:5; 15:33.)
Clean—pure, with nothing in it to
corrupt the moral* or defile the soul.
“The judgments of the Lord”—his
decisions—are altogether true and
right, with no injustice in them.
V. 10. “Sweeter than honey”—
more grateful and delicious to the
heart and mind, than honey to the
taste or palate.
111. GurDANCK OF THE WORD.
II- V. 11. ‘«y them”—tbo de
cisions and commands of God are we
“warned"—of our duty and danger;
“and in keeping of them there is great
reward”—in this world and in the
world to come ; for obedience to God
brings blessings. (John 5:39; 15;.
10.)
V. 12. “Who can understand his
errors”—his ains of weakness, ignor
ance and thoughtlessness. None of
us can fully understand his errors,
mistakes, inadvertencies and uncon
scions wrong-doings. By “secret
• -
faults”—are probably meant hidden
faults—those of which we are una
ware, because they are sins of ignor
ance, weakness or inadvertence—in
voluntary sins, which may seem ex
cusable or be ignored.
V. 18. “Presumptuous sins”—are
wilful, defiant sins—in the face of
knowledge and God’s commands—
sins done with a high hand. (Num.
15:30.) ' Great transgression;—great
wickedness in general.
V. 14. This is a prayer for purity
of word and thought. (See Prov.
4:23; 23:7; James 3:2-10.) “My
strength”—who helps me keep the
law; “my redeemer”—who delivers
me from sin ?jjd its consequences.
The Power of the Spirit. Letter No. 5.
In my last, I spoke of the prophet’s
exaltation. In this letter, I hope to
show how he was exalted.
The readezjvill remember how very
low the prophet bowed himself down,
even upon his face, and how quickly
he was humbled, for, as soon as he
saw the vision, he “fell,” and how long
he remained on his face until he
“heard a voice of one that spake.”
Are we really sure that he arose
immediately on the hearing of this
voice ? I ask the question in all rev
erence name, was it the
great respect and honor the servant
had for his Lord, that brought him to
his feet? Was it a simple desire on
his part to change his position? for
surely it is not always pleasant to lie
on the face. Was it a conviction, that
that humble attitude was not manly?
Was he ashamed of the dust, the vis
ion or himself? Was he ashamed at
all?
Well maybe the vision had spent
its force. Perhaps he was no longer
frightened. Possibly it was an ap
parition. And after all, it was very
foolishness to be lying thus prostrate
on the i*fth. It was nothing. I
must arise and be on my journey. I
am ashamed that ever I was so sim
ple. It cannot be. These thoughts
never once entered the prophet’s
mind. He was filled with holy awe
and reverence to God, but holy awe
and reverence to God, did not lift
him to his feet. Ah ! but he was so
humble and penitent, but these good
attributes levers to the soul,
nor to a proajHtabody. Yes, but he
as sin'-ef»ly lioncit, and loving, and
Jit Maker’s work, but
’ipl
lift soul. Then where is
the help? What is the hope ? Who
will raise the fallen? No arm of
flesh, no will of man, nor angels in
heaven, nor all combined, can lift up
the lightest heart, nor set upon his
feet, the very purest soul.
Cne power, and one alone, can do
this mighty work. It is the Holy
Spirit.
So the fear, the will, the reverepce,
the prayer, the strength—all were
powerless—could not move him, till
the entered into him, and set
him upon his feet.
“Not by might, nor by strength,
but by my spirit saith the Lord-”
God commanded him to arise. Why
did he not obey ? Did he not hear
the Lord ? Certainly he heard. Then
why lie longer in she dust? He had
no strength to rise. So the spirit
came to him, entered into him, sup
plied the strength. When we are
weak, then are we strong. What a
weakling was this poor Ezekiel 1 and
and how like a helpless babe was
he!
God humbled him, that he might
exalt him ; took all his strength away,
that he might make him strong in
deed ; drove out his own spirit, that
He might fill him with the Holy Spir
it. This was his “strengthening cor
dial.” This was his stoutest friend.
Again, the prophet could not rise, for
he had no courage any longer to look
on that dazzling vision. It had dazed
him. It was just awful to behold.
He felt hirfiself in the presence of
God. He grew faint lie trembled.
He fell. Holy terror seized upon
him. He had no courage to stand
up, nor even to look up, for he hid his
face. If he had been a brave man
before, surely he was a most timid
one now. If he had trusted in the
flesh before, he, certainly, had no con
fidence in the flesh any more. By/
he is no longer a spiritual coward.
His fears are all dissipated. The
Spirit comes to his relief; tikes his
part; assures hnn there is no danger.
The enemy may assail him.
His own people may turn against
him. Formidable disasters may over
take him. Dangers, disease, death
may be lurking in the air—it matters
not; he stands undaunted; > defiant,
trustful, spiritual brave.
Again, the prophet was discom
forted, dejected, miserable. He was,
left to himself, without any strength,
with no courage, that awful vision
.burning in his soul, and tho mighty
hand of God laid upon him, an un-
happy creature, whose fate the loving
heart might deeply commiserate.
And as long as he was down, he was
dejected, was unhappy, for he, help
less and alone, kissed the dust No
comfort from within. No comfort
from without. His heart was dried
up and side help had fled.
So the Spirit pitied him, an<| enter
ed into him, and lifted him from his
dejections. The spirit brushed away
the clouds; poured in the sunshine;
smiled upon him; rejoiced his heart.
What voice can speak such sooth
ing words? What hand can minis
ter such cordial to the soul ? What
arm can bring such deliverance to
the fallen ? O, it is the Spirit—bless
ed Spirit! He is the Comforter.
And so the Spirit helps us in many
ways. Inclines our minds and affec
tions toward God; takes out these sel
fish thoughts; makes us God’s own
noblemen.
The Spirit enlightens us; shines on
the benighted soul, makes it radiant;
opens up the darkened understand
ing, makes it heavenly; drives out
fear, makes us courageous; opposes
error, guides us into all truth.
The Spirit makes us happy. This
old world ean never. The Spirit
brings us up to the blood of Jesus.
These old carnal hearts do lead us
away from the crimson cross, and
drag us down to the pit.
O! may that Spirit, that entered
into Ezekiel, and touched old David,
and raised up John, enter into the
Christian hearts this year, and make
us to stand up mightily for God, for
saint and for sinner.
Never in the history of the world
has such an effort been put forth for
the evangelization of the nations as
to-day.
The heathen, at home, and across
the waters, are hungering and thirst
ing, and dying for the gospel. Men
and brethren, buckle on the armor.
“Attempt great things for God. Ex
pect great things from God.” Holy
Spirit help 1 J. C. Solomon.
FROM INDIA.
The history of India reaches back
into pre-historic times and it is diffi
cult to find a spot in this vast land
that is not classic ground to the an
tiquarian. Here was a people or
rather many peoples, with immense
wealth and much civilization long be
fore the days of Greece and Rome.
The present, inhabitants trace their
origin back & th# times when the hu
man race was young, and in the main
they have maintained their customs
and habits for thousands of years.
We landed at Bombay, the Metro
politan city of India, containing a
population of over 800,000 people,
representatives of almost every tribe
and clan of the whole country, one
of the best places in which to study
the habits of the people. A part of
the city is thoroughly European with
broad streets and beautiful public
buildings, fairly good hotels and
cheap living. The Cathedral of the
English church, the University build
ings, the seaman's home and the rail
road building at the Victoria station
would do credit to any city in Europe
or America. The native quarter is
occupied by three distinct classes,
the Parsees, the Mahometans and the
Hindus and these subdivided into
castes almost without computation.
Christian churches, Mahometan
mosques and Parsee and Hindu tem
ples are strangely intermixed. This
is the most mixed city I have yet
seen, having almost all nationalities,
all styles of architecture and all fash
ion of dress, from that which pre
vailed with Adam in the garden of
Eden to that which is common in
Fifth Avenue, New Y r ork. It is
nothing uncommon to see a boy or
girl in the streets with nothing on but
a chord or a fancy little chain around
the waist, and an ordinary handker
chief would make two suits of clothes
for many grown persons met frequent
ly in the streets. The Hindus dress
least, Ahe Mahometans wear more
clothes; the Parsees are generally
well clad in their own peculiar fash
ion and the dress as they
usually do in warm countries. lirthe
city there are about 30,000 Europe
ans and about 50,000 Parsees, 20,000
mixed races and 700,000 Hindus and
Mahometans divided about half and
half. The Europeans are in office or
in commercial business, the Parsees
are the merchants, bankers, manufac
turers and shippers and constitute the
wealthier class while the Mahometans
and Hindus furnish the unwashed
thousands of laborers and beggars
with now and then a merchant or
man of wealth. The Parsees are the
most progressive and intelligent class
in India and I shall devote a subse
quent article to them.
With tho exception of a few States
ruled by native princes called rajahs
the whole of India with a population
of about two hundred and fifty mil-
ions is governed by Great Britain.
The great majority of the officers,
civil and military, are appointed by
the British Crown and the country
is held in subjection by Brittish bay
onets. The people have little or no
voice in the government and are
thought in the main incompetent for
self-government. The great masses
are poor, and poor without hope of
improvements as wages are so very
low. For three dollars a month
without food or lodging you can hire
a man, while boys and women receive
much less.
The country is very well supplied
with railroads and telegraphs under
European management and railroad
travel is comfortable and cheap. Third
class passenger fare is about one
third of a cent a mile second class
about twice as much, and first class
about twice as much as second. With
very little money you can visit all the
principle cities by rail.
The climate of India is of course
quite varied. The great plains in
the south are excessively hot in sum
mer and quite warm even .in winter.
In Bombay it is so warm now in De
cember that we cannot walk in the
middle of the day with any comfort
and at night we need no covering on
the bed.
The northern part of India is quite
pleasant in summer and even cold in
winter. Europeans are enervated by
the climate in a few years and their
children are generally sent out of the
country to be raised and educated.
This is bard on the many engaged in
government service in India and also
on the missionaries scattered through
the country.
I expect to remain a month in In
dia and will give you things more in
detail in my next. O. C. Pope.

GRADED HELPS.
The arrangement of its Sunday
school literature by the American
Baptist Publication Society is help
fully suggestive. Here we see six
grades provided for—enough, but
not too many, for any school that
would do its work thoroughly and
systematically. The provisions for
each separate grade are full and, in
every respect, complete. Primary,
Intermediate, Advanced Senior,
Teacher, Superintendent—all well
equipped for the best work of which
they are capable. It would seem im
possible for any Sunday- school to
use such helps and so arranged, with
out becoming itself better managed
and more helpful to every individual
connected with it.
