Mr.. MooDY's ADDRESS
MI. Moody announced that he would resume the
same subject which be treated last evening, from the
text according TO ST. Luke-'The spirit Of the Lord is
upon me, because he has appointed TO preach the
Gospel TO the poor" He believed in preaching upon 4
subject until the people believed IT. The question was
TO whom should the Gospel be preachedI The Gospel
for the drunkard and for the thief Many OF the
self-rghteous Pharsees imagined that the Gospel
only for certain class. But the gospel pro-
claimed to all and there was distinction.
They read in tho last chapter Of Mark that
the disciples sent forth preach TO all the world.
There was no distinction The rich and poor must be
saved the learned and the unlearned-all must come
into the kingdom of Goa in one way. The mandate
TO preach the Gospel every one and those who
believed were To be saved and those who did be-
lieye were TO be damned He (Mr Moody heard Peter
saying, Lord, you don't mean that should preach
the Gospel TO every creauref But that Just what
was meant-to 20 and proclaim the glad tidings to all
the world. "You don't mean, probably said Peter,
THAT we should preach 10 the Jews that took your
lcY'' Eyes, Peter" doubtless said the Lord ego and
preach to Jerusalem Preach TO that man who made
for me the crown OF thorns tell HIM to accept saliva
ton gilt and tell him that instead OF a crown OF
thorns win give him crown of glory the King
dom Of God Tell the that drove the spear into
my side that there Is nearer way TO reach me-
Preach the Gospel to every creature and the Holy
Ghost came down the tenth day and they began 10
preach. There was hope for us ALL The poor thief
and the prisoner could receive the glad tdngs well
as others. There was fallen low that could
not be saved. Mr. Moody Teclted several touching Incl
dents IN connection with his theme. showing that it
only required Willingness the part OF man to be
saved. He urged upon his hearers the necessity OF
determining at TO take the right path which leads
10 eternal salvation. Ii only required the will TO do it,
Ii was one OF the hardest things in the world TO be-
come Christian, and 10 was also Of the easiest
paradoxcal as it might SEEM but the hard part of ii
consisted in the want OF determination. IL was diff
cult to give up the WILL but IL must be given up If we
desired 10 be saved
The audience then sang the tenth hymn after which
Rev Or. Booth said prayer, and with the singing of
the "kock Of Ages" the proceedings were brought
close
