As we listened to his confident speech, we felt how great was the danger in which he himself stood, and how much better it would have been for his hearers if he had kept silent.
HOW MANY ARE REALLY SAVED.
Facts are solid things, and weigh heavily in the scale of argument.

They are not always pleasant to look at; but it is weakness to ignore them.
Let us take a few facts in connection with this Gospel temperance work.
The first of these came to our knowledge while we were revolving the contents of this chapter, and before we had commenced writing it.

A leading temperance worker, who was an active participant in the Murphy movement, and who holds that there is for the confirmed drunkard no hope or safety but in the power of religion, stated to us that during the Moody and Sankey revival in Philadelphia, something over two hundred drunken men were reclaimed and converted; changed in heart, as it was declared, and "_saved_" by the power of God.

These were gathered together on a certain evening in one of the churches, and the gentleman to whom we have referred was among those who addressed them.

The poor, weak, and in too many instances, friendless and homeless men were talked to, and then committed to God in prayer.
