Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - May 11, 1891, Winnipeg, Manitoba Manitoba daily free Winnipeg. May 11, i Mage invitation preached by or Tal on sunday May 10. By the by the number of infants Rou it from to May an interesting Cere orned this morning in the Tabernacle before the Sermon was a number of Infanta who had get there by their parents were the water used was some of was brought by or. Talk we River Jordan. The main audits of the Tabernacle Aud Tho adjoining i aids were crowded by an audience of persons. Tho subject of 5 Sermon was invitation to a and Tho text Luke Xiv 17, r All things Are now Tivi ties today. To rather other into the spiritual Garner. Our Joy inc Joy of heaven. Spread Tho ban 19 fill All Oie chalices. We Are no to he funeral of it dead Christ we Are the marriage of the King s son. W an exciting Tisie. As an exciting in English history Roneen Elizabeth visited lord Leices at Kenilworth Castle. The clocks in All towers and throughout the Castle were at Tho moment of her arrival to to Point to that moment As the nil others in interest. Tho great banqueting Hall opened the Queen marched in to no of the trumpets. Four Hundred waited upon the guests. It was a that Aston Blied All nations when of it. Thousand dollars a or the banquet Cost As it went on Day Dav she was greeted to the Palace with floating islands and torches and the thunders of Cannon and fireworks that my uie ablaze and a burst of music that lifted the whole scene into Enchant ment beginning in that Way it went on from boy to Joy and from excitement to sex them Eurc and from i Arturo to rapture. That was the great banquet that lord Leicester Sprea-1 in Kenilworth Castle. Cardinal Woley enter tinned the French ambassadors m Hampton court. Tho Best is fall land provided for Tho table. The a cab in stills in the Parks full today so that their appetites might be teen and then in the evening hour they were shown into the banqueting Hall with table a glitter with Imperial plate and Blush with the very costliest wines and the second course of the feast was made of fowl m All shapes. Of men and Birds and beasts and dancing groups jousting Wiles Riding upon each up wed sauces. Lords and princes and ambassadors their cups gleaming to the brim drank first to the health of the Kins of England and then to the health of the emperor of Franco. That was the banquet that Cardinal Wolsey spread in Hampton Anatase As term Tyr Kob expecting that you can help me with such. A comparison 1 simply say he is waiting a Only an All sympathetic Christ know How to wait for a wandering soul Bow Tho keen and kiss the son Como and welcomes sinner come. The holy spigut 18 waiting. But i remark again not Only Christ is waiting but the holy spirit is waiting. Why Are some sermons a dead failure Why Are there songs that do not get their Winf under the people Why Are there players that go to higher up than a Hunter s Halloo because there is u missing link that Only Tho holy spirit can Mako. If that spirit should come through this assemblage this morning there would be a Power Felt like that when Saul was up horsed on the Road to Damascus like a when Lydia s heart was broken in her Fine store like As when three thousand souls were lifted out of Midnight into mid Oon at the Pentecost. Do you notice that some times that spirit takes an insignificant Agency to save a soul 1 think it is very often that at just one passage of scripture just one word of scripture a soul is saved because the holy spirit gives it sep croat ural Power. Do you know what it was that save Martin Luther it was that one verse the just Shull live by do you know what it was that brought Augustin from his horrible dissipation it was that one verse put be on the lord jews an a no provision for the flesh i to fulfil the lusts do you know what it was that saved Hedley vicars the celebrated Soldier it was the one passage believe in the lord Jesus Christ and thou Shalt be do you know what it was that brought Jonathan Edwards to Christ it was Tho one passage now into him is glory and one thanksgiving morning in Church 1 read my text of give thanks unto the lord for he is Aud n Young Man stood in the gallery and said to himself "1 have never rendered one acceptable offer ing of gratitude to god in All my life. Here lord 1 am thine by that one passage of scripture he was brought into the kingdom and if 1 might Tell my own experience i might Tell How Ono Sabbath afternoon i was brought to the peace of the gospel by Reading of the Syro pm cancian s cry to Christ where she said even the dogs eat of the crumbs that fall from the master s philosophic sermons never saved anybody. Metaphysical ser Mons never saved anybody. An Earnest plea going right out of the heart blessed of the holy ghost that is what saves that is what brings pen la into the kingdom of Christ. 1 suppose the world thought that Thorn us Chalmers preached great sermons in his god Over one sinner that and if the Angels hear it do not Ott depart d Kindred there hear it Thero Are those Here who toiled for your salvation and they bade you Goodby to the last Hoar and they said meet to in Here was hovering Over the Pillow the awful possibility that you might not meet. Jut of the pathos when that hand was thrust out from the cover and they said Woodby. For How Long Goodby was now suppose you should pass into the kingdom of god this morning suppose you should say i m done with Tho sins f this world. Pie upon All these follies. O Christi i take thee now i take thy service i respond to thy love to Brno am i Why. Before the tear of Rupenta Ance had dried on your Cheek before your first prayer had closed the Angel standing with the message for thy soul would cry upward he is and Peris ing midair would cry upward to is com All along the Lino of Light from door Way to doorway from Wing tip to Wing tip the news would go upward till it Early ministry but Thomas Chalmers say6 he never preached at nil until years after he had occupied a pulpit he came out of his sick room and weak and emaciated he stood and told Tho Story of Christ to the people. And in the great Day of Eter nity it will be found that not so much the eloquent sermons brought men to Christ As the Story told perhaps by those who grander . But today my Brothers and bisters i in tit Eyou to a grander entertainment. My Lori the King is the Banquete. Angels of god Are the cup bearers All the redeemed Are Tho guests the Halls of eternal love frescoes with Light and paved with Joy and curtained with unfading Beauty Are the-1 banqueting place the harmonies of eternity the music the chalices of god arc the Plite and i no one of Tho servants come eat with invitations to Oil the people and of that you might break the Seal of the invitation and read in Ink of blood and with the tremulous hand of a dying Christ. Come come Tor All things Are now ready. Sometimes there have been great disappointments at a banquet. Tho wine has Given oat or Tho servants have been rebel Lious or the lights have failed but i walk All around the banqueting table of my lord today and i Iid everything com plete and 1 swing open the door of this banqueting House and i say All things at now illustrating my text i go of and in the first place say that the lord Jesus Christ b ready. Cardinal Wolsey not come into the banqueting Liall until the second course of the feast my when to entered booted Aud spurred All the guests arose red cheered him but i have to Tell you that our banquet or the lord Jesus Christ Cornea in at the beginning of the feast. A he has been waiting for his guests waiting for some of them 1891 years waiting with mangled feet waiting with hand on the punctuated Side waiting with Hind on the la rated temples waiting wonder it is that the Banquete did. Got get weary and say shut the door and let the laggard is stay out Jato he has been Eft pfc Mutti he is to Earnest you i gather tip tears to Huff flooded his in sympathy blood that e Mai tailed his brow Dack and Laud and fool to Yujeh tee our redemption. I Gathiff groans com id Trout chill and Mountain were unknown on Earth the simple Story reached the Guto and then it would Flash to Tho House of Many mansions and find your Kindred out and those before the throne would say rejoice with Rne my prayers Are answered. Give me another Harp with which to strike the Joy. Saved saved Aue too Heady n my my friends if Christ is ready and the holy ghost is ready and Tho Charch is ready and the Angels of god Are ready and your glorified Kindred Are ready Era you ready i give with the emphasis of my soul the question Are you if you do not get into the kind s Levist it will lie because Yon do not accept the pair nest invitation. Arm stretched out soaked with blood from Elbow to Finger tip lips quivering in mortal anguish two eyes beaming everlasting love while to come come conic for All things tire now at Kenilworth Castle i told you they stopped Tho clocks when Queen Elizabeth arrived that the hand of time might Point to that moment As the one. Most significant and tremendous but if this morning the King should enter the Castle of your bowl Well might Yon Stop All the clocks mid have the Finger of time pointing to this moment As the Ono most stupendous in All your life would that i could come All through these aisles and All through these galleries not addressing you perfunctorily but taking you by the hand a a brother takes brother by the i Ted and saying to one and nil to each come come the door is open enter now and sit Down it the old Man god has been waiting for thee Long years. Would that some Tchir of re pent Irace might trickle Down thy wrinkled Cheek. Has not Christ done enough in feeding Alico and clothing thee All these years to win from thee one word of Gratis Indef come All Tho Yonng. Christ is the fairest of the fair. Wait not till thy heart be shard. Come Tho farthest away from Christ. Drunkard Christ can put out Tho fire of that thirst. He can restore thy broken Home he can break that shackle.
