We want enthusiasm in God’s work. We find it in the world. Men are desperately in earnest in business circles. Hell is in earnest. Why should we not be? We talk about infidelity, and all the isms that are creeping over the world. I am more afraid of cold formalism than anything else. Let the children of God but see eye to eye, and Christianity will overcome all the hosts of hell and death. There is as much power in the gospel to-day as ever. Man has been as bad as he can be. He was bad in Eden; he was bad for two thousand years under the law, he has been bad these eighteen centuries under grace; but there is power in the gospel to save. When men are willing to give their lives to work for God, then he takes these men and uses them. One thing I admire about Garibaldi—his enthusiasm. In 1867, when he was on his way to Rome, he was told that if he got there he would be imprisoned. Said he, “If fifty Garibaldis are imprisoned, let Rome be free!” And when the cause of Christ is buried so deep in our hearts that we do not think of ourselves, and are willing to die, then we will reach our fellow-men. Five years ago I went to Edinburgh, and stopped a week to hear one man speak— Dr. Duff, the returned missionary. A friend told me a few things about him, and I went to light my torch with his burning words. My friend said that the year before he had spoken for some time, and had fainted in the midst of this speech. When he recovered, he said: “I was speaking for India, was I not?” And they said he was. “Take me back, that I may finish my speech.” And notwithstanding the entreaties of those around, he insisted on returning, and they brought him back. He then said, ‘Is it true that we have been sending appeal after appeal for young men to go to India, and none of our sons have gone? Is it true that Scotland has no more sons to give to the Lord Jesus? If true, although I have spent twenty-five years there, and lost my constitution—if it is true that Scotland has no more sons to give, I will be off to-morrow, and go to the shores of the Ganges, and there be a witness for Christ.’ That is what we want. A little more, a good deal more, of that enthusiasm, and Christianity will begin to move, and go through the world, and will reach men by hundreds and thousands.”—Sel.
