Story of Hudson Taylor On-
ental Missionary Given
j By Mrs. Demarest
"The f irot thing necessary to
bring about a revival In to go
and undo the foolLsh things that
careless Christians have done.
; "Don't we see ourselves In
the Peter who tries to make up
for onr disobedience and ne
gleets by doing a lot of things
that Jean never asked as to
do?"
We are always ready with
oar swords to start- a fight, but
prayer takes a real godliness,
with no applause, no show, no
popularity." I
,; :
r "Jesus says to us as he said to
Peter: I did not ask your
swords; I asked only your pray
ers.1" - i '
. - . .
"Pride dies hard. The hard
est words in the English lang
uage are these three: 'I am
wrong.
"When you are lost In hell,
all yon get is a laugh from those
who led you there.
"The only way to salvation .
is through the cross. How thank-
f ul I am that my mother sent
ine to my cross, to do some of
,-, the things that have hurt and
humiliated!
-..'.".' :; -.
People were turned away by
scores or hundreds from te De
marest union evangelistic services
at the First Methodist church last
night. It had been announced;
that Mrs. Demarest would preach
on "Peter's Denial," which Is the
only one of her published sermons,
and reckoned as one of the great
est addresses she has ever given.
The announcement brought the
people in masses; an overflow
meeting had to be held In the Sun
day school room of the church to
take care of part of the people. 1
It was Indeed a great sermon.
Fired through j and through with
dramatic and religious fervor, it
burned and seared. The same
power and intensity would make
any woman a world known trage
dienne, singer, artist; it would
make any man a conqueror In
' whatever realm he entered. For
power of analysis,, for character
delineation and for Interpretation
of the human heart, the address
stands apart. ;
c Paraphrased, the sermon Is the
story or Peter denying his Lord
on the night of the betrayal; with
the. long story of his unconscious
defection, and thn his agonized re
pentance. Peter loved the Lord;
he had left all his family, his
business, his life and followed as
a disciple for three years. He had
been honored by the Master, by
having the power to cast out dev
ils and to heal the sick. He had
been a companion at the transfig
uration, at Gethsemane; he wrote
afterwards In his immortal epis
tles. "I do not tell you Idle tales;
for I was eye-witness to His majes
ty. It was Peter who made -the
declaration, Thou art the Christ,
the Son of the Living God!!
' But Peter COUld not atftnjl nmi.
Perity; the pride that came over
him when he was thus singled out,
overcame him. Then he was sel
fish; he wanted his master to give
P his foolish crucifixion and stay
with him. Give np the whole plan
of salvation for Peter's selfish love.
