ANTEDILUvIANs - PRAYING WITH THE
PENITENT.
The New York Sun of Tuesday reports
the evening exercises of the Evang' lists as
follows: At night the rink Was sbl 70 with
light, and though it seemed crowded 10 its
utmost capacity, there WIS still slwsys
room LETT for the zone more" who KEPT
coming and who was not turned away. The
neiRa boring churches were in preparation
for the over flow, but as the hours passed
by and the people did not come. the
sections turned the gas low and Gle std tine
doors. The congregation in the rink JJined
with their choir in singing Sankey's songs,
though Sankey was not there for elm
mary half hour. Drs. Talmage. Scudde'
and Cuyler were again In their places, bu
three-fOurths OF the chairs reserved f'r thi
clergy were filled with women and younf
men. At the outer doors the pictures a.
the evangelists and their hymn book wer
for SALE and an en- erprisi"g halter circu-
lated business cards on the sidewalk card
with the heads Of Moody and Sank y en-
graved at the top OF price list OF ha >. DR.
Scudder opened the meeting with pra. or TO
the success Of revivsls thr, ugh the length
and breadth of the land, and then Mr.
Sankey sang in a peculiar oratoricsl srgu
mentative strain, as though he meant TO
MAKE THE STUBBORN HEARERS VI LID.

was less emotional, and, though the fioO'
and galleries we're filed, there was lackinl
that Unreasonable electrical influence tina
was given on Sund Y by the presence Of
surging crowd of thousands OUTSIDE th'
walls But the singer used all his art, anC
with his kiDdling, inviting eye, sno witt
his smile, when the measure OF tho SOng
gave him time TO smile, he sdded as 4ca .,

Then ne emphasized the words and inter

and in hearing il looked at one another ant

Moody based his sermon, and the singer ia

THE EFFECT OF MoODY's SERMON.
Mr.. Moody, in his sermon from he words,
'For there is no difference" was freer in
the use Of homely, sharp illustration, and in
bold pictures than he had before beer; but
it is hard to say whether he pleased lis au-
dience more. They smiled, and indeed
laughed at some things which be must have
said for he purpose of creating a laugh; ano
thew were profoundly attentive to hin
thrOughOut, attracted and held by the easy
coll0qus with which he interpreted ell he

"and won't be much surprised if you don't.
The medicine we don't like is often the best,
and if We are sincere we have got to
own up to it and apply the
remedy that will restore as. And il
there is to be any trouble, it must
you and God. The words mean just whaI
thew ssy-that We are living under the law
of God and under that law there Is no dit
ference. If you break one commandment OF
God you have broken the law of God jus
as much as though you had broken The
whole ten. You have not lived up to the
law and there is no difference between you
aud other sinners. The law was given 10
save man by. 1t was given that the whole
world might be stopped from setting up in
dividusl measures and scales OF right ano
wrong. These independent measurers are
always making big mistakes, and there l.
net one of them who does not make himself
a few iuc1e taller than his neighbOr is.
CHRISTIANS WHO HAVE THE DRY ROT.
The old Adam stock of which we are made
is like the dry rot that has struck two tree,
growing side by side in an orchard. One o.
the trees may bear more fruit than the
other, but they both are rotten, worthless
and surs to die. The old stock OF Adam IL
bad; il is rotten; it is corrupt, and at wal
with God. II has got % be changed RICH,
ffa-rarr NIB frlr ha hot No a .qsfa Ff~aer
and dressing and patching are wanted to
make 1t lock good. 1t has got to be thrown
out, just much of IL we can get hold OF,
for it is all bad, and then when you are
changed aud new and live according to The
law, you can be- saved, not by The
law, but by the death of Christ
When | was living in Chicago l PROMISED
one day To take my little boy to drive, az d
his mother washed and dressed him TO make
him fit. But he ran out somewhere and got
his face dirty, and when l saw him / told
him that be was dirty, and that would be
ashamed TO be seen with him, but ne said
that he was not dirty, for his mother hac
washed aim. And L couldn't make him
think different until L held him before 8
looking glass, and then, you must know,
didn't wash the dirt away with the looking
glass, but with water. The looking glass
was the law, that was all, and the W ter was
the death Of Christ. You may make a. man 8
divisions you like in society. You may
divide men into rich men, poor men, luna
tics, brave men. Masons and Odd Fellows
and sub divide just much as you want
to, but God has only one division, and that
is the law, and the only way to get away
from the wrong side of that division and
out from under the curse OF the law is by
penitence. IL Is one OF the hardest things
in the wOsld to verlook and forget the d :
vision that we have made, and tn reaizs
that there is no difference between the men
can, for instance, imagine Abrahs 10 going
down to SOdom and mounting dry goods
box aud predicting the destruction of the
city. How many people do you suppose
gave heed to the old patriarch. Not one
They probably said, what an old fool h
must be 70 think that our dukes aud our
princes and our judges and our thiaves are
all going down without difference
