Evening Service.

4 large crowd filled the Brooklyn
Rink this evening, by an audience slight
" different from the evening before
Mr. Moody gave out the hymn Great
Physician now IS near which was sung
by the whole congregation, PRAYER was
offered by Rev. Doctor Hatfield, of Phil
adelphin, after which Mr.. Sankey sung
II will s.ng you song Of the beautiful
land as solo. II was suggestive Of
the evening discourse. Mr. Moody then
gave out notices of services and added
another prayer \ meeting for women
in the morning after eighttO nine o clock,
aud II meeting in the Tabernacle
to be conducted by women was appoint
ed. The hymn, In Christian home is
glory WAS then sung by the congrrga-
tiou standing.
Mr.. Moody then said, want to talk
this evening about Heaven. ! MAS going
to meeting some tim" ago, vixen friend
asked me what | WAS going To talk
about. answered, Heaven.
He answered with kind of II sncer, |
was in hopes you were going to talk
about something practical. 1t Is ell ioo,-
ishness in attempting to talk about
Heaven. 1t is time enough to 90 that
when We get there y great many pco-
pie think otherwise. We read III Paul,
second Epistc to Timothy, chapter 81,
10Th verse, that GAIL scripture is given
bv tine inspiration Of God, and Is
profitable for doctrine, for re-
proof, for correction, and for instruction
IN Righteousness The less we know
about the word Of God the less we think
OF Heaven. | find great many people
who think Heaven is u myth. a man
told me TIE other day that Heaven WAS on
this earth. Well if tins Is Heaven, it is
II queer kind of heaven. Look 1T the
woe and broken hearts that are here.
Christ says ~ 20 toprepare mansion
for you, and if | prepare place for
YOU. ! will come again W" can not
hear too much about that subject We
are here only to spend an inch of time
but eternity is in the other world. ! sup
pose there j. not one in this rink to-
night but expects to make Heaven their
home. When in England, ! had quite
number of people who wanted to emil
crate to this country, who came to ask
about the climate, institutions, people, &c.
They could not hear too much, for
they were anxious TO come here; but t
was only to spend a short time here be-
low; YOU and | are going to emgrate by
and bv, from this world into another.
1t seems to NE the height of madness 10
rush on without taking any thought
about the future life. If there be a
heaven ut all. there are two highways IN
this world and two ehdings. Look into
Deuteronomy, chapter 2G. verse l5i
"Look down from thy holy habita
ton, from Heaven, and help
thy people, oh Israel Heaven
is above. Heaven is our dwelling place
God is n person. lie has a home and a
throne Just AS real rs any city in this Re-
public or rs any kingdom upon earth,
and good deal more 50; for they crum.
bic into pieces. but the throne is never
moved. In First Chronicles, sixth chap
ter, l4th verse it is said: God hears HIS
people from Heaven Some people have
been trying to find out how far it is away.
can't find out in the scripture. But
one thing ! do know is that it i not so
far but that He can hear the prayers that
60 up from this sin accursed earth, and
s,e every tear of repentance and hear
every Igh that goes up from His child
rem below.
After singinga a hym, and prayer, the
meeting was dismissed.
