THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. Saturday, april 25, mo§. HOPE FOR THE DESPERATE—HELP FOR ALL By REV. RICHARD ORME FLINN, PASTOR NORTH AVENUE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH J’fj,, from places near and far. Some ’“‘from eectiona In our own loved late and some from cities lying far be- Dur border.

Cherished treasures, often to be re newed and oft remembered, as we en- Ur into the secret place for prayer. Why We Treasure Them, po you ask why we treasure them? n> will tell you. They are the letters lhat have come during the^ twelve months past In response to the Satur- messages we have been sending thru The Georgian to our unknown friends For a whole year now, each L. k no matter where we have been, have sought to speak ft word to rheer the aorrowlng or rest the weary warn the wandering or rouse tho ■isopv, or nerve the striving, or to hearten 'he aspiring, as we have point ed all alike to Him in whom Is strength end hope and help and life and peace and Jo)'- ■ ' \nd these ktttsra are the response, that have come out of the great alienee ictn which we havp spoken and from ihe listening ones among the unseen multitudes to whom we have repeated the sweet old story, bidding us god- rpeed and assuring us that oar prayer and effort have not been wholly un availing hut lhat here and there hearts have hearkened and have been helped. As We>Round Out the Year. Some of these letter* are evidently from homes of plenty and some from homes of want. Some are from those high In the social scale and some from humbler si -tlona. Ye*, and some are 1 ihe prisoner shut In behind the and some. If we mistake not, are I nanteleea ones shut out beyond the nale—deprived of home and honor— 1! enstavrd by the cruel fetters of a bll.litlng shame. And now, on our fifty-second week, a* we round out the rear. It 1“ n thought of these latter ones end of the others like them who ere luandetl bv sin and who suffer the filsgrue of open shame, that directs our message, and with a genuine sym pathy we lone to point them to the one who loves them still, and "Who Is able to save them to the uttermost If but come unto God by Him." (Heb. Cns Who Loves the Outcast. Is ns stt-jnee as It la tragic that doplo the explicit declaration of the | sentence and since then had found the ter that He com* to save sinners Lord and experienced Hie mighty pow- that He I- seeking Ilia Inst, those er to save.

Test: Heb. v!i:S5. ■'Wherefore, He Is [waiting to be their Savior.

And There lie* before us as We write a vet It Is true. When He was on earth, • ' b ' nrln * vnr,e,i P"*- and "av"^" hmEHS"ch«» n ."ye!' r ^ c t ever delighted to seek out the heart broken, the lowly and the abandoned. Indeed. His reproach among the proud Pharisees was this, that publicans and sinners were His associates, and that even the despised women of the street might unrebuked approach Him and wash His feet with penitential tears. The fact that certain so-called re» illglous leaders aeem to have lost faith In the power of the Gospel to help the fallen Is often urged by the fallen as a reason for their hopelessness and aban donment ct self to sin. But, my dear friend, If you are reading this, re member It has. In a measure, always been thus. The Master has always been hindered In His heavenly work and been made to marvel by His people’s lack of faith. But. despite this lack of faith on the part of the many, when any single heart hat dared to hope—to pray, to turn to Him for help—He has never cast them off or failed to prove His power. And, listen! He will not now fall you. Hope Even for You. Remember, He Is able to save to the Uttermost. No matter how low you have sunken God Is able to lift you out. No matter how prostrate your will may be, God Is able to quicken and renew It. No matter how many times you have promised to be true and then have proven false, God will receive you and renew you If you return. Yes. Jesus Christ Is the same yesterday, today and forever—and He who gave new hope to that poor woman of Samaria, and who received again John, Mark and the Apostle Peter, will do In you and for you and thru you greater things than you can conceive. If you only be lieve—turn from your sins and cry to Him for help. Jerry McCauley. One of the greatest Christian work ers of the last generation was Jerry McCauley, the founder of the Water-at. Rescue Mission, New- York. Jerry Mc Cauley. before his conversion, was a thief and river pirate. He was born In Ireland. Hla father wne a counterfeiter and before his son was old enough to know him he fled from his home to escape the law. As a boy. Jerry was never sent to school, but was left to grow up in Idleness and sin. At 13 he came to America, settled In New York and became a professional thief. He plunged Into the most loathsome forms of evil and excess, and at 19 years of are lie was arrested on a false charge of highway robbery and sentenced to fifteen years of hard labor In Sing- Sing. A Thiof Ssvsd by a Thisf. After five year* he was deeply touch ed one.day by the testimony of a man whom he had formerly known as n fellow convict, but who had finished his resolved, as he declared, "to stay there whatever might hnppbn until 1 found forgiveness—I. was desperate. I felt Just like the words of the hymn— •• 'Perhaps He will sdmlt by plea, Perhaps will hear my prayer, But If I perish I will pray And perish only there.’ ”1 prayed, andthenlstopepd. Iprayed "I prayed, and then 1 stopped. I prayed again and stopped; but still I continued kneeling. My knees were rooted to those cold stones. My eyes were closed and my hands lightly clasped and I n< d-termlned I would stay so till morning, till I was caled to my work." Finally he tells hhw the answer came and his heart closed upon the words. "My son. thy sins xvhleh are many are forgiven thee" and then as a thrill went thru him he art "Praise God! Praise God! Joy in a Jail. A guard passing asked him what was the mstter. He answered: ’Tve found Christ. My gibs are forgiven. Glory to God!” The guard bade him be quiet and threatened to report him, but he did not care, he was too happy. After that this man who had been so desper ate and had bo little apparently from his antecedents upon which to build, began to work In th* prison and wit ness for Christ. After he was released he fell—yea. aeven times he fell, but 'finally when he gave up HIS tobacco and turned himself thoroughly over to God he not only never fell again, but became one of the greatest spiritual leaders of hla age, and a mighty power In res cuing the ' most detperata and aban doned. \ My dear friend, the same God who saved Jerry McCauley when he prayed. Is willing and able to save you now If you but pray. Yea. He Is still able to save to tbe uttermost. Can a Fallen Woman Ba Saved? 'But does any one say. "Well, after all. the life of a thief and a drunkard Is not so desperate as the life of a woman who has abandoned herself to shame and sold her virtue for a paltry price.” Then be It so. Admit that when a woman falls from her high pedestal she 1 falls ltHrer. than a man, and that when sht. has turned her back on honor she Is Incomparably more dif ficult to reach. But. listen, my friend. "There I* nothing too hard for God." And there Is no woman in this great wide world who has gone so far that she may not come, back to God and purity add peace and Joy if sht but re pent and turn and pray with faith In the name of the blessed Christ. Nellie Conroy. Mr. H. B. Glbbud. in the "Leaves from the Journal of an All-Night Mis sion," tells the story of Nellie Con roy, a part of which we shall repeat. "Her parents were Roman Catholics. At on early age she came to America, her father died, her mother became a drunkard and sold Neill• at the age of 12 to her own paramour; then becom ing Jealous of her. drove her from the tsave to the dens of Infamy from which | blessed of God In her testimony at the REV. RICHARD ORME FLINN. left her at last a wreck In Baxter-st. Here for nine years she lived, becoming a victim to all the vices that attend a dissipated life. Writing ofqier past, she said, 'I never enjoyed much of my parents' love. Heaven deprived me of one of the kindest fathers and left mi a mother. But, oh, poor mother, the vic tim of the rum-god, the quiet, gentle woman In hsr sober moments, the one who ought to have been the guide of my youth and Innocence next to God, she turned Into a living demon and so basely forgot her chllfl and cast her out In her tender Innocent years upon the wave* of a Cold and heartless world. If she had been a mother. I would not have been here today. Then I was young and healthy; now I am a wreck, and she struck the first blow.' *• A Woman at Her Worst. M. Glbbud tells how, one night, he met her while he was seeking to do rescue work among the dives In lower New York. He says: “I had Just come out of the place ap propriately named 'Hell Gate,' when I first met Nellie Conroy. She was sup porting hsrself against a post, as she was much Intoxicated: tall and thin, one could see then that consumption was doing Its fatal work. She had no hat, no shoes; a dirty calfco dress was all the clothing she had on. and that was not In condition to cover her na kedness. Her hair was matted and tancled, her face bruised and swollen; both eyea were blackened by the (1st of a huge negro who held her as his slave, and had beaten her because she had not brought him as much money as he wanted." None Need Despair. Invited her to the meeting and passed KouseT'she came'toNew York, hoping on. Near the close of the meeting ehe to earn a livelihood ns a servant, but. I came In; with tearful eyes she listened being young and pretty, she was en-;to the story of Jestis, and was one of tleed Into one of the glided palaces of . the first to request prayers. After the sin In the upper part of the city, and meeting she expressed a desire for a there began the downward course that I better life, but she had no place to go, 1 she came. I decided to take her to a j home for fallen women, and, accom I panled by a friend who had assisted me In the meetings, we started. We were going toward the ears, and congratulating ourselves that we had gotten ntvAy unobserved, when we were confronted by the very negro we sought to escape, With an oath, he demanded, "Whar you folks takln' dat gal to?” .It was a fearful moment, near midnight, a dark street, end not a soul In sight. I expected every moment to have him strike me. I was no match for him. Signaling my friend to go on with the girl, and taking the negro by the coat, I said excitedly, “I nm tnklng her to a Christian hojne— to a better life. If ever you prayed for any one pray for her: I know you are a bad man, but you would be glad to help any girl away from this place. 8o pray for her as you have never prayed before." All this time my friend and Nellie were going tloWn the street as fast os possible. I had talked so fast that the negro did not have a chance to say a word and (before he could recover from bis astonishment) with a last Injnnctlon ‘to pray for her." I ran on. He did not attempt to follow. Four cars were hailed before they would let us on. The driver would elacke'n up. but seeing Nellie's condi tion, would whip up his horses and drive on. Finally, when the next dri ver slackened. w« lifted our frail bur den Id the platform before he could start on. Arriving at the home, I helped her up the steps and rang the bell: she turned to me and said, "You will be proud of me some day." I smiled then as I thought the chances of being proud of her were slim; but how many times since, when an audience has been moved to tears by the pathos of her etnry, or spellbound by her eloquence, have I Indeed been proud of her. Vietory After Failure. In his story Mr. Glbbud tells how. after awhile, Nellie secured a place to work and In an evil hour, thru a loss of caution and of trust she fell away. Th# rescue home was changed, but the ad- dreee of the new place was sent to IJax- ter-st. to Nellie and the whole matter finally forgotten until late one night Ihe bell rang and as the door was opened, and broken In breath and In heart Nellie came In. At the meeting the next night she was the first to come forward. When asked to pray, she lifted her pale fare to heaven, and quoted, with tearful pathos, that beautiful hymn: The mistakes 1 of my life have been many. The sins of my heart have been more; And I scarce can see for. weeping. But I'll knock at the open door." Then followed a touching prayer, an humble confession of sin. an earnest pleading for pardon, a quiet acceptance of Ghriet by faith, a tearful thanks giving for knowledge of sins forgiven. A Leader of Assemblies. Her life from that time until her death—nearly two year* later—was that Of a faithful Christian. Bhe gave satisfaction to her employers; «he was mission, and soon she was sought after by churches, temperance societies and missions to tell what great things the Lord had done for her. She spoke to a large audience of nearly 3,000 people In the Cooper Union, New York, holding them spellbound with her pathetic storyt One of the dally papers, writing of her. said: “Mias Conroy Is possessed of a wonderful gift of language and a natural Irish frit, this wltH her thrill ing story makes her one of the most Interesting and entertaining speakers before the public." Bhe was unedu cated, but bad a remarkable memory; she sbon became familiar with the Bi ble and many were won to Christ thru her testimonies^ Her pale face would become flushed with a hectic glow as she spoke of tho wonderful things God had done for her. No Common Power. 'Glory be to His great name," she would say; “it was no common blood that washed Nellie Conroy from her elns, and no common power that reached down and took her from the slums of Baxter-st., after nine years of sin and dissipation. It was no common blood that washed and cleansed Her and gave her back purified to the bosom of virtuous society; It wna the precious blosd of Jesus. Glory to His name: won't many be surprised when the roll la called In heaven to hear Net- lie Conroy answer to her name?" Another testimony I remember: 'Where are those who started down life's stream with me, young, fresh and happy, without a care to burden or an noy? We started out to gather the roses of life, but found only thorns. Msny of them today sleep In nameless and dishonored graves In 'potter’s field,' and their souls—Oh! where are they? while I am spared, redeemed. Glory to God." A Heavenly Expsrienos. Her life was Indeed a changed one; from Idleness, filth, drunkenness and sin. she was transformed Into a neat, Industrious, sober, godly woman. But sin had sown Its seed and sits must reap the harvest: she grew weaker un til at last she went to the hoepltal to linger some months In great eufferlng and pain, but all was borne with a spirit of Christian resignation. Her tes timony was: "The love He has kindled within ms Makes service or suffering tweet." A friend visiting her read the "Ser mon on the Mount." Aa she listened to tho beatitudes she repeated them after the reader, and when the last one was, uttered she said, "There le one more blessed." "No. Nellie," replied her friend, "I read them all.” "No. one more," she Insisted. "Blessed are the dead who die In the Lord." One day a visitor said, "Nellie, you are nearing the river." "Yes." she aald. "I have already stepped In, but God's Word says. 'When thou passeth thru the waters I will be with thee, and thru the rivers they ehall not overflow thee.* The promise Is true; I am ary shod.” The Blood at Jesus, In a letter during her last days sht wrote: "I am happy tonight God Is my refuge and strength. " ‘The cross now covers my sins, / The, past la under the blood. My will Is the will of my God.' "In my Father's house are many mansions; one for Nellie Conroy, bought by the blood of Jesus. He has gone to prepare It,for me. I will re ceive a Father’s welcome and a Fa ther's blessing and a crown of life. Glory! Glody! Think of the power of Jesus to save such a looking thing os I was, and the crowning thing Is, He keeps me. My soul Is happy la the sun shine of my Father’s love. " 'Blessed la the man. forever blessed. Whose guilt Is pardoned by his God. Whose sins and sorrows are confessed And covered with his Savior's blood.’” -. • The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth Nellie Conroy from all sin. Triumph Oyer Death. When at the last she could scarcely speak, she knew her end was near, and when the fourteenth of John'was read to her, she aald, "My mansion Is there, the Comforter Is here; the promise la fulfilled. Sing at my funeral. T Am Going Home to Die No More.'" ' Summoned to her bedside, the nurse bent down to hear her faintly whisper. “Jesus, precious Jesus; I love Jesus and Jesus loves me. Hallelujah." These were her last words, her face lit up as she eeemed to catch a 'gllmpse‘of the King In Hla beauty, and, with a shout of ‘'Hallelujah," the /Spirit of the once poor, despised Magdalene took Its flight i i ttis bright mansions of whose pos session she had been so sure. At her funeral many Christian work ers and friends gathered to do honor to her remains. Many who had been won to Christ by her testimony wer* among the mourners, and not a few came to look on that pale face who stilt lived In eln and shame, but who loved hsr that had so often entreated them to turn and live. Put God to the-Teet. Ah, my friend, .In the light'of the testimony of Nellie Conroy, whose brief life of only 23 years, which ended March It, 1115, was so marvelously transformed, how can you. hesitate to trust yourself to Him who Is so abun dantly able to save? He who took Nellie when she offered herself to Him soiled with sin and broken with dissi pation and who made of her a noble leader of multitudes t to a higher Ilfs, can do ngalnVfor you and with you even as much>w this. ' Will you not then trust Him and let HIm prove It? And. oh, my friends, you who have never tasted the bitterness of tbe cup of gall that so many of our brothers and our sisters have drained to the dregs, have you not yet a heart to feel for them and a mind to pray for them and hand outreached to help them In their need? In God's name let us prove our sympathy. In God's strength let us lift them up and point them to the Lord who loves them still, despite thslr shams, and!who Is able to save •ven to the uttermost all of them that come unto God by Him.
