After very brIefprelimlnary services,
MI MOODY preached from the words,
"lpray Thee have me excused, which
were used IN. the IAN chapter OF Luke,
by the three men invited to the feast;

And this house is full of excuses.
There is not person here who has

can't sort out the excuses. There
are too many. But you can put them
all up in one bundle, and call them lies,
for lies they are. They are no better
than those that the three men offered
to the master of the feast. The word
may have advanced in the last two
thousand years, but the excuses Of To-
day are no better than they were then.
One Of you, perhaps that young man
over there, says that be cannot come
because he cannot believe the Bible.
He says tha. IL is dark and mysterious,
and that he can't understand it. Has
he ever read il? don't believe he
has ! Why, suppose | send my little
boy, four years old, to school, and
when he comes home at night ! ask
him If he has learned 10 read and write
and TO spell, and whether he knows oil
about arithmetic and geography and
history. He tells me, of course, that
he has learned only A, B, and c.

school, and your education not finished
yet? You need not go TO that school
any more The world says that
Moody is mad TO do such thing, but
is IL any wilder or more foolish
than to complain that the Bible is
dark and mysterious when you have

easily enough helieve the Biblc but
that he cannot conscicntiously ioin the
church because he knows some of her
