SUDDEN DEATH, SUDDEN GLORY.


THK SAD OCCUIUIENCE AT LOW MOOR.


SERMON BY THE REV. J. B. WADDINGTON.


At the evening service at St. Pauls


Cliurch, Low Moor, on Sunday, the Vicar, the Rev. J. B. Waddinglon, referred to


■ sS '


the sad event which took place in the church the previous Sunday evening. He took as his text Philippians r. xxiii:“ With Christ, which is far better," or, according to the revised version, “ very far better.' He said: An eminent Canadian Bishop re­ lates that when a young man about to be ordained, an aged Christian wrote urgmg him, when ordained, to “ tell sinners to be­ lieve on the Lord Jesus Christ, and they would be as safe as if they were already in heaven, and then to tell liiem to work like liorses." Dear fellow believers, Mr. addington said, what a grand thing it is to be saved, and to know that we are


sated. xVnd what a grand thing it is to be the means, in Lne hands of the Holy Spirit, of the salvation of perishing souls around us! Last Sunday evening at this


' hour we were suddenly and awfully remin- tled of the uncerlainty of life, and the im­ mense importance of the present time. Last Sunday evening the first man to en­ ter the church was John Rnowles, whom 1 have known and loved for nearly thirty- nine years. He came along the centre aisle with his usual bright, cheerful face, beaming with affection and gratitude as one who was happy in Christian fellow­ ship, and who desired to see others as hap­ py as he was himself. He was truly hap­ py, not because of anything he himself had done; the hope he had was founded upon the solid foundation of Christ's “ fin­ ished’’ work; and in the perfected work of the Saviour who had redeemed him, he was truly happy.. Of him we may fit­ tingly USB the words of the hymn:-


“ Happy Christian, God's own child, Chosen, Called and Reconciled: Once a rebel far from God; Now made nigh through Jesus' blood.”


i-.fi


An liour later, or iiltle more, he lay on uie grass oulsiae tfie vestry poor, wrln Ins lace turned upwards to lire blue sky, ana a culm and peaceful look upon Ins race; he iniglit have been asleep and so he was, asleep in Jesus, and so he might well have a peacelul and happy look on his face, lor he would have Heard the “ well done, good and faith! ul servant of his loving saviour. Truly with him sudden deatn . ..e.i glory. He was “ With Christ


which is far butter, very far better.’ 'f'wo thoughts suggest themselves and


■ff


they are these: his gain and our loss. He is with Christ whicn is " very far better ’ tlian being down here. But there is our loss to be considered, what have we lost? (1) 1 myself as his pastor for nearly forty years, have lost a son in the l''aith as well its a Christian friend and helper, one of whom the words of the Apostle to the Corinthian believers might be addressed, “ Though ye have ten thousand instruc­ tors in Christ, yet have ye not many fa­ thers, for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the Gospel.' Early in life, while yet a scholar in our Sunday school, he was “born again by the Word of God.’ (2) The believers have lost a true brother in Christ. (3) The unconverted have lost a faithful preacher and teacher ;(4)Low Aloor Church and Sunday school have lost a true friend. He loved the church and the Sunday school., He w'as born as you know in this neighbourhood, and he was “ born again” here, and therefore the place was very dear to him. (5) His sons have lost a Christian father. He set them an e.x- aiuple of what a Christian working man should be, and might be by grace. And I would say a word here to the young nien in the congregation who have Christian parents; value those parents while you have them, do nothing to grieve or hurt them, let them see how you value their wise and Christian counsels, and that you bear in mind the time when they may be taken from you, and that you “ ^y not have to lament any carelessness or indiller- ence towards them, but that you may be able to say, “ 1 did what I could to honour and obey and to make my parents happy. (6) Blackburn has lost a faithful preacher, whose teaching was distinctly scriptural- no merit in fallen man, the need of the new birth, justification by faith only, and sanctification through the progressive work of the Holy Spirit in the soul; as taught bv the Church of England in her 39 arti­ cles He loved to witness for his master, and’ to testify for Him. He loved to put


the Gospel simply—


“ Jesus took my sins upon Him, Jesus died instead of me.;


Yes, Jesus died for sinners, _ So I know He died for me.


He loved to proclaim the simple gospel of the grace of God, and to lead sinners


*°He^re^^iet me say that if you are still unsaved it is my great pnvdege and pleasure to proclaim to you this night


the ^ad tidings, that if you in your hearts trusf in Jesus as your Saviour, as your Si :


E e r and SiibsLte, ,>;ou ^ « eternal life” as “ the gift of God. Ah


your sins put away thiougli the atoning iti-


blood of Jesus Christ, all your imperfec­ tions covered with the robe of His right­ eousness, and a bright and happy home above preparing for you by the Son of


God Himself. But there is the solemn warning. Such


an event as we are contemplating is a most solemn warning to unconverted souls, it warns you that these glad tidings will not always be proclaimed in your ears; those who proclaim them may pass away or be


rest.” “ Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.’' ilay there be a response to that welcome to-night. Dear uncon­ verted, undecided friends, and fellow- sinners. my last word is to you:


Yet there is room; still open stands the gate—


'The gate of love; it is not yet too late. Room, room, still room I Oh, enter— enter now!


removed, or you may remove into a neigh- I bourhood where the plain, simple gospel is not to be heard. “ Therefore, ’ I say, “ now is the accepted time, now is the day of salvation.’' Let me earnestly and affectionately warn you that if you “ neglect so great salvation,” you may put it off until it is too late. And what then? An endless hell 1 There are those who say there is no such place, but what do the Scriptures say? “ How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation ?” “ How shall we escape the damnation of hell?’' Such solemn words were spoken by the .■ \postIes and by the Son of God Himself, and I ask have they no meaning? Tliere are those who say there is no need to fear the future, for there is no such place as hell: but let me remind yon that you may be argued into hell, thinking there is no such place, or yon m.ay be laughed into hell by those who are given to ridicule solemn things, but will it bo possible for those to argue you out of hell, or to laugh you out if once there? 1 warn you very earnestly and affectionately to “ llee from the wrath to come.’’ By faith “ lay hold of eternal life.’' Don’t procrastinate, do not trifle with your souls eternal welfare. Remember that the sudden call might Inive come to you instead of to our dear brother, and your state would have been fixed for eternity. 1 therefore urge yon in the words of Holy Scripture. “ Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call )e upon Him while He is near.” Now a word of exhortation to the Be­


lievers ; “ Work while it is day, for the night cometh when no man can work.’' Remember the charge given to everyone born into the I.ord's family. “ Go work to­ day in my vineyard.”


'J'hrow .all your


energies into the I.ord's work, and as was the case with our departed friend, spend and be spent in the service of your Divine Master. Working not for Salvation, but from Salvation— not to be saved, but be­ cause you are saved. 'This is now the very hour when onr


brother was standing at the chancel ste])s delivering a faithful, loving message to the congregation. What are our feelings ? What are my feelings? Mine are, that there is nothing of terror to me in such a call, in such a time and in such a place. To be “ absent from the body but present with the Lord.’' It is very awful to stand by the bedside of the dying, and to watch those suffering dreadful pain and .agony, and fighting for bre.ath, but in this case there was nothing of that. All was calm .and pe.aceful .as far as the outward expression of our dear brother was concerned. And when 1 re­ member how he passed away, I do not think I could desire to pass away otherwise'. “ Mark the perfect man, behold the upright, for the end of that man is peace..’ When I began to realise the seriousness of the seizure last Lord’s day evening, the thought c.ame to me, “ May my last end be like his.” He went forth as a soldier with the .sword of the Spirit in his hand, for he had the Bible in his hand. He was speaking kind, loving, gracious words to the uncon­ verted before him, inviting them to come to the loving, all-sufficient Saviour, and assur­ ing them of the loving welcome he himself had received. As I think of him 1 cannot help calling to mind the picture in John Hunyan's “ Pilgrim’s Progress,” 'in the In­ terpreter's house, ill which was a portrait of 1 faithful minister of Christ. Referring to this picture Bnny.an says, ‘ I .saw the pic­ ture of a very grave person, he had his eyes lifted up to heaven, the best of books in his hand, the law of truth was on his lips, the world w.as behind his back, he stood as if he pleaded with men, and a crown of glory did hang over his head.’ lint 1 look from the earthly scene— from the call of our brother down here, and 1 see him be­ fore the throne. How brightly he smiles now. How loudly he sings there : “ Salv.a- tion to our God which sitteth upon the Throne and unto the Lamb 1 ’ “ Unto Him that loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever, Amen.’' I have in my hands his notes which fell


from his hand as death struck him. He was speaking of the gracious invitation, from the words in Revelation 22c. lyv., where we read that “ the Spirit and the bride say, come; and let him that heareth, say come, and let him that is athirst, come; and whosoever will, let him take of the water of life freely.” 'These words our de­ parted brother described as the “ gracious invitation to the weary, heavy laden, bur­ dened sinner.” “Ho I everyone that thirsteth come ye to the waters, come buy wine and milk without money and without price. ’ May the Holy spirit apply those words to many hearts. Again, I say, " Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” But the day of salva­ tion may close any hour, though now the door is open. My earnest, fervent pr.ayer and longing are, that the death of our brother may be life from the dead to some precious soul, that some may date their new birth from the solemn call of Sund.ay last, and that they may be able to say “ By the grace of God I have been born again. All my sins are gone, for I am washed in the blood of the Lamb!" There is still room, the gate stands open, but to-morrow may be too late I Our dear Saviour extends a


loving welcome to all anxious, sin-bnrdened souls; Corhe unto Me all ye that are weary and lieavy laden and I will give you


May the Holy Spirit bless His own truth


for the Redeemer's sake. Amen. ----


WESLEYAN CONFERENCE.


[By Rev. Joseph Passmore.] Bristol, July 26th.


Must of your readers are aware that the


Viesleyaii Uoiilerence consists of two ses­ sions, a Represeiitalilve Session, in which laymen and ministers meet together, and wliere tinaiicial and administratit e matters and legislation thereon are Ireely and fully discussed. 'The Pastoral session comes alter it and deals with stations, character and other e.xclusively pastoral matters; and this week I will give you some matter rela­ tive to the first of these sessions which be­ gan on 'Thursday last at 9-30 a.m. and continued until last night 8-30 p.m. Con­ ference really began on Wednesday rpth at 6 o'clock but only for business done by the Legal Hundred, viz. the filling up o'f vacancies in that body caused by Death, and the election of President and Secretary. 'The following were elected to the Legal Hundred, George Denton, J. Clapham Greaves, J. M. Walmsley and Bamford Bur­ rows. 'The President and Secretary nom­ inated by the last conference were unani­ mously chosen for those posts, the Revs. C. H. Kelly and J. Hornabrook respec­ tively. Busine.ss began In earnest on 'Thursd.ay


morning and to fully describe the incidents 1 should have to ask for far more space than the Editor could care to give me; conse­ quently 1 will content myself with a few incidents. But first let me say that among those attending conference are Messrs. J. H. Clegg of Whalley, Caleb Duckworth, of Colne, the Mayor of Accrington, Mr. John Walker of Blackburn, Mr. J. H. Horrocks, also of Blackburn, Revs. J. Dugdale, J. M. Walmsley and H. Barrowclough. Of course the induction of the President


and his address were the first items on the programme for the representative session, ft is not often that the ceremony of induc­ tion rises above the common-place, and this year was no excepton to the general rule. But Mr. Kelly’s address was fresh and vigorous throughout. He is always prac­ tical, pungent and to the point, and his vigour for a man of his years is marvellous. Some of his sayings were very characteristic as for example the one to the effect


that some sermons move neither men nor devils. His


appeal for the best attention of the repre­ sentatives was greatly appreciated particu­ larly that part of it that suggested to those who wanted to talk that they should go outside to do so. The address was sound and sensible, and while not an attempt at a high flown deliverance touched the sym­ pathies and appealed to the common sense of those who listened to it. 'The most interesting event of the after­


noon was the visit of the Bishop of Bristol, ft is the first time in the history of Methoil-


ism that such an event has occurred. 'The reception, given to him by the representa­ tives was warm and thorough, and appeared to be very highly appreciated. He referred with natural and pardonable pride to the fact that he was the successor of the great Butler, who had advised Wesley to get out of the city as speedily as he could in 1739, and while he deprecated that particular event suggested it was due largely to the spirit of the age. It came out incidentally that just at the time he was attending the conference he should have been in the House of Lords to read prayers, but had secured a substitute in tlie Bishop of Here­ ford. 'The Revd. F. W. Macdonald's reply was


a very happy effort and it delighted the conference; it was a very warm apprecia­ tion of the Bishop's courtesy, it betrayed a very great fund of knowledge concerning the Bishop’s great predecessor; it was full of acute observations, finely chiselled phrases, large Christian sympathies and manly independence. The Bishop then loft us carrying with him as a souvenir of his visit a beautifully bound copy of the New Hymn and Tune Book. Let us hope that the friendliness thus drawn may do something towards increasing that charity among the churches that “ thinketh no evil.” As 'Mr. Macdonald put it there is .‘\nglican blood in our veins, but aloofness on the part of Anglicanism tends to lessen our consciousness of it; while events such as that of last Thursday elevate our con­ ception of the greatness of the Church from which we sprang. Friday was occupied largely with the


conversation on the state of the work, i.e., reports from various representatives of the progress made during the year, Home Mis­ sions and Temperance. The interesting in­ cident of the day was an address by Gipsy- Smith of very great power. He en­ deavoured to show how the evangelist really existed in every preacher and in the choice of incidents to enforce his point was very happy. So greatly did he get hold of his audience that he sat down with the conference in tears. That is the simple fact, it needs no elaboration. The open session on Friday evening was


a great success, largely because of Dr. Fit- chett’s address. The name Dr. Fitchett has made for himself in literature naturally


X


commended him to his audience, and his j address couched in the most pictui'esque | language was listened to with wr;ipl atten­ tion and frequently very greatly applauded. Point after point was made with the most perfect ease and grace of manner, without a single attempt at oratorical display and in many respects was the finest thing done in the conference. Dr., Fitchett gives the Fernley Lecture on Friday evening and should have a very great audience. Another matter of considerable interest


discussed on Saturday morning was the question of Methodist union. Last year a resolution was passed in conference invit­ ing the Methodist New Connexion to enter into negotiations for union on certain con­ ditions. This year a reply to that resolu­ tion was read and while the reply was kind­ ly and co'urteous to a degree it was clearly stated that the conditions were unaccept­ able. Dr. Rigg endeavoured to close the matter there and then, but Mr. Perks, who is very tenacious and an excellent debater proposed a resolution congratulating the churches which contemplate uniting and ex­ pressing a hope that further union would result. Various attempts were made to modify or curtail this proposal, but Mr'. Perks would have none of them until Dr. Pope came to the rescue with a carefully worded amendment which Dr. Rigg sup­ ported and Mr. Perks accepted. ^ What could the conference do but accept it unani­ mously? This they did. The visit of the deputation from the


Free Church Council and some other Methodist churches was made at 12 o’clock on Saturday and it was eminently fitting that Mr. Perks should be one of those chosen to reply to that deputation. Satur­ day afternoon was a time of garden parties. Monday, Foreign Missionary affairs


were discussed, and much business done in this and some other departments. In the afternoon the Kingswood school


boys came to conference and were ad­ dressed by Dr. Fitchett and the President. Dr. Fitchett belonged, so he said, to the only nation in the world that could beat England at cricket, and caught the ear of the boys at once. 'The President gave a splendid address in the course of which he said he thought there was no sphere in life that had greater openings for men than that of statesmanslTqi— a remark greeted with a round of applause. 'The boys left and conference went on


with its work, passing a resolution on the opium trade, receiving the report of the 'Theological Institution Committee and designating ministers to some vacant offi­ ces in the various institutions. 'The Rev. Frederic Platt, M.A., B.D., was designated to take the place of the late Arthur Moor- house at Didsbury and Dr. Davidson that


of Dr. Beet at Richmond. .Sundry matters were dealt with on Tues-


da>, and before the conference rose at 8-30 last night the whole of the work of the representative session had been com­ pleted. To-day the Stationing Committee sits and to-morrow the Pastorial session


begins.


AVEST BRADFORD. CHOIR SERMONS.
