MOODY ON GOD IN Love-

Moody and Sankey's meeting at p.
m. yesterday was for women only, and
that at 1880 for men only. On each oc-
casion the depot was uncomfortably
thr0nged, the entrances We're closed
ten minutes before the time for begin
ming the service, and hundreds had to
return home disappointed. The same
sermon was preached at both services.
At the women's meeting the Rev. DIR.
Terrence led in prayer, and Mr. Sankey
sang "Jesus of Nazareth Passeth By"
GOOD is Love- said Mr.. Moody, land
that is my text The reason we don't
love God is because We don't know
Him." 10 prove that this love is un-
changeable, unfailing and everlasting,
he read from John |, Isaiah 40, Jero-
miah 81 and Isaiah SO and3S. "rhough

spring, God never forgets to love US;
and yet what earthly love is like II
mothers love? You mothers know
what am talking about perhaps you
young ladies don't. God loves us in our
sins. Will mother take child and
throw it out of the window because it's
naughty? Thou hast all my sins be-
hind Thy back Now, il our sins are
behind Gods back, how is the devil
going to get at them? God died for
all our sins. In England they've got
a national church well, that's very
good, but national Christ amt going
to do any good. Now, want to tell

hairs on their babies heads. Prosperity
is apt to make us forget God, See how
this nation has been sinking into in
iouity since the war, just because too
many meu got rich. When Jerusalem
got fat it kicked against God" Mr.
Moody succeeded in bringing tears to
the ewes of Lender-hearted mothers by
depicting sick-bed scenes, in which
onlv-begotten darlings were on the
point of leaving this world, to be car
ried as lambs by the shepherd across
the dangerous river into which moth
ing but. parental love could force the
old sheep to plunge and follow to the
other side. 1.-The measure of Gods
love,n he continued, "is Calvary,

Catholic Archbishop of Paris was led

he drew upon u wall of his cell cross,
and at the four ends of the lines were
the words, Height, depth, length
