Whatever may or may not be said about our present status. as a church, if we are to go on to a still greater future, as a power for the salvation of precious souls, we must keep in close com- munion with God. If we would continue to be a "live church," we must keep in constant touch with the great source of life. Our ministry must first be exemplars in personal devotion to God, and then lead their people into the same living stream of life and power. If we fail in this, we will fail to rise to the emergencies of our times, and thus go down in history as a weak and worldly generation. Now is the time to learn this lesson. In this particular this Centennial year is wonderfully suggestive. Will we learn the lesson? We hear much lamentation in these days about the loss of spiritual appetite, and the consequent lack of spiritual power. Such a condition is but the natural result of prayerless lives and consequently prayerless homes. In this re- spect it is high time that we go back to the program of our now sainted fathers. If this will be done, revivals will necessarily fol- low. To this end let every one who reads these lines immediately

resolve that he will never again partake of a meal in his home without having first offered thanks to God for the food on his table. Let him also resolve that from this time forth he will establish, or re-establish a family altar in his home. And, above all, let him resolve, let come or go what will, from this time forth, to set apart a little time every day for strictly secret prayer. Meanwhile let him dip daily into the precious word of God for refreshment for his hungry soul, and the old-time zeal, fervor and power of the church will soon be at hand. But to become effective, prayer must be sincere, believing, fervent and persistent. We must pray until our load of sin falls off, and our happy spirit bounds forth like a bird out of its cage. We must pray until the dark clouds break away to let the glorious sun- light of heaven burst through upon our enraptured vision. We must pray until our famishing souls are once more refreshed by "showers of blessing." Yes, we must pray until the old arch- enemy of mankind is compelled to sound a general retreat, and until the very swords of his fleeing soldiers shall become power- less in their hands; yes, yes! and until in the wake of their re- treating footsteps the unconquerable hosts of the Lord, reani- mated by the bracing breath of victory, shall ride forth in all their glory, and possess the promised land in all its beauty.
Remarkable Fidelity of Our Evangelical Fathers.
Of all the estimable elements of human character, there are perhaps none more lofty, and to be admired, than that of fidelity. The value of faithfulness can not be measured with money. Its price is even above either rubies or diamonds. Every man's eter- nity, for either weal or woe, is at last to be determined by the one great word, faithful. If any man would successfully pass through the close scrutiny of the coming judgment, and on through heaven's gate into the beautiful city, that one word must characterize his conduct amid the very sorest trials of life. This is why the "angel" said to the church at Smyrna : "Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer," but "be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life." This is why, also, a little further on, the faithful servant will hear that fine welcome : "Well done, thou good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things : enter thou into the joy of thy Lord". It is to these, and

these only, to whom shall be given the final invitation of the great King: "Come ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom pre- pared for you from the foundation of the world".
Of our Evangelical fathers it must be said to their well- merited praise, that with but little exception they possessed this high quality of character to a most remarkable degree. That most admirable principle of loyalty to God and loyalty to the church, seemed in some way to have been so burned into their very fiber as to make them practically proof against all temptations to be- come recreant to the sacred trust imposed in them. Most of them would rather have gone down to their graves like the martyred Stephen, under a shower of stones, than to either have turned away from their Lord, or have disappointed the confidence of their church. They would rather have been beheaded like Paul at Rome, than to have desrted their standard like Judas Iscariot. Say what we may about our own superiority over that of our fathers, in some way they far outdid us in instilling a rugged church loyalty into the hearts of their preachers and people. As our American Government trains the principle of "Love of Coun- try" into her citizens, so our Evangelical fathers trained the prin- ciple of "Love of Church" into their followers. But for this fact their work, under the exceedingly trying circumstances of their time, never could have held together. But for this fact, their organization would have disintegrated and gone to pieces. That they stood so compactly together, in spite of their distressingly low salaries, and in the very teeth of so many sharp temptations to either quit the ministry and go into some lucrative business, or into the service of some other church for larger pay, is still a standing marvel in our eyes. As we now stop for a little season to trace their thrilling history, we first draw a big breath, and then look on in amazement at their devotion, self-sacrifice, and moral courage. It was the wonderfully cohesive quality of their work that held them together and insured their success and their future. They seemed bound together, both in spirit and in ac- tion, as with the strength of a thousand cords. They thus went forward as a united force against the powers of darkness, in full assurance of victory. Before the onward, determined march of such a force, the very stoutest opposition must necessarily give way and roll back like the receding waves of the sea from a rock- ribbed shore. No Satanic power on earth will ever be able to

withstand the invincible onward tread of a devoted, determined, united, consecrated church. "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper ; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the serv- ants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord."
The priceless lesson to us is as clear as a sunbeam. It is that of unflinching fidelity to God, an unwavering loyalty to our church, and an unswerving oneness of purpose in life. With a clear, definite, unmistakable call of God into the holy ministry, we must be able to say with Paul to the Philippian church: "This one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." A man without a purpose is like a ship at sea without a rudder; he is liable at any moment to be dashed into the very jaws of disaster. "He that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, driven with the wind and tossed." No church can afford to trust her future into uncertain hands. At the very moment when most needed, they are liable to find some fictitious excuse for drop- ping out of the ranks. When a marketable, aimless, drifting man wants an excuse for leaving his post, it never takes him long to find one. Such excuses are easily manufactured. To build a church with such material, would be like building a house upon the sand. In the time of storm or trial it would be sure to fall. To hear a man say, as some do, that to him "one church is just as good as another," is almost conclusive evidence of a flexible, adjustable, portable character. As a portable saw-mill moves to where the lumber is, so such a man moves to where the money is. What would we think of a man who would say that to him "one home is just as good as another home"? Such a man would im- mediately place his moral character under suspicion. On the con- trary, every man should be made to feel with the sweet poet :
"Home, home; sweet, sweet home,
Be it ever so homely, there's no place like home"
Just so every man should be made to feel concerning his church. Along with national and domestic fidelity, we must also have denominational fidelity. But for this indispensable qual- ity in either of these three institutions, they would all sooner or later disintegrate and fall to pieces.
[92]

But to secure this essential "love of church", or denomina- tional fidelity, it must be taught and trained into our people all the way from their Christian childhood up to their Christian man- hood and womanhood. All substantial and successful denominations do this. This is not a narrow sectarianism, as some would-be broad-minded men would have us believe. It is only church fidelity. Without it no church can long maintain its organiza- tion. To this end great stress should be thrown on the necessity of placing either one or the other of our church papers in every home where any one or more of our members live. No means could well be employed which would loyalize our people faster than to make it possible to speak to them every week through this medium. But whatever may or may not be the means em- ployed to accomplish this end, the purpose itself must in some way be reached. While our annual gains are promising, our annual losses are far too many. If we would go on to a great future as a church, we must substantialize and loyalize our annual new re- cruits. We dare not shift the responsibility for this work upon the shoulders of the next generation. That would be cowardly. The task rightfully belongs to us. As did our fathers, we also must meet the emergencies of our own day and generation. Then let us rise in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, as a united body of brave and competent Christians, and show ourselves worthy of our sacred trust.
Would you make life a signal success, and the service of God a continuous delight, then keep your eye constantly on the great "north star" of your earthly pilgrimage, and let that star be- Fidelity. Let this be the ever fadeless watchword of every min- ister and member of our beloved church. This exceptionally brilliant star spreads its broad white wings out over every other Christian excellency. No mere spasm of religious fervor will ever be able to fill up the measure of Divine requirement. No Christian quality but that of fidelity will ever be able to plunge through all obstacles and at last capture the prize. It will never do for the Christian soldier to ground the weapons of his war- fare at some way-side station. Only at the end of the race hangs the shining crown that awaits the brow of the finally faithful. Our great Redeemer was persistently, unfalteringly faithful in his wonderful work, until at last on that blood-stained cross he said: "It is finished". No way-side influence or purpose could

swerve him in the least degree from his one great and all-absorb- ing purpose to carry out his Divine mission as the Saviour of a lost world. To any attempt to divert him from this, came the clear, definite, unmistakable answer: "I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work". After the awful price was at last paid on Cal- vary, he further said to poor, weak humanity : "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee". What we need to-day is to drink large draughts from this same, perennial, cleansing, Christlike stream. With our redeemed vision unalterably fixed on the great goal of our enraptured life in Christ Jesus, we must go on unmoved by a loose, luring, lustful world, until the golden gates of the beautiful city shall at last fly wide open to the happy tread of our hallowed feet, to celebrate our last glad victory with the sweet, exultant, rapturous song of eternal triumph.
CENTENNIAL HYMN, 1807-1907.
WRITTEN FOR THE CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION BY MRS. ELIZA BENNINGTON, OF WILLIAMSPORT, PA.
At the close of the exercises, Rev. A. Stapleton, M. S., D.D., spoke briefly concerning the women of the church, and specially commended the poetical talent of our Evangelical women. He mentioned Mrs. Sue M. Hoffman, wife of Rev. E. A. Hoffman, and daughter of Bishop Orwig. Many of her sweet songs ap- peared in the "Evergreen" in 1872. He also spoke of Mother Ruthanna Vallerchamp, wife of an Evangelical itinerant, some of whose songs have found a permanent place in hymnology. Among them is the song, "The Gospel Ship is Sailing." In con- clusion he read an invocation poem, composed for this occa- sion by Mrs. Eliza Bennington, widow of the sainted Rev. S. D. Bennington, formerly of the Central Pa. Conference. We subjoin this poem as a fitting conclusion of our centennial ser- vices, and pray that the divine blessings invoked in the poem may be gloriously realized in both branches of the Evangelical Church :
"Here where the Fathers met of old To form this church of Thine, Oh God, on us Thy Spirit pour, And own the work divine.

As, through the century that has passed, Thou hast our Leader been, So be our Guardian and our Guide, In this we welcome in.
And Thou, who didst not then despise The day of feeble things, On us with might and power arise, With healing in Thy wings.
Be ours each Apostolic grace Of which Thy Church should boast,
Arm each in panoply divine Clothe with the Holy Ghost.
Here, as Thy servants, Lord, we bring, Our trophies to Thy feet, Proving the power of Jesus' blood O'er sin to be complete.
Living epistles, read and known, Writ on the fleshly heart, Not on the tables of dead stone With worldly wisdom's art.
As overseers of Thine own, Placed o'er this House of God, Help us to feed this flock of Thine, The purchase of Thy blood.
And then, when Thou, Thyself, shall come To own us on that day, Lord, give to each a crown of Life That fadeth not away."
