but thus following The Of his feelings and choosing
for himself he has chosen well FOR his audience "hen
man Of his qualities has broad text viii serve him a
long time and make better sermons than one more CIR
cumscribed which would carry HIM through doctrnal
or limited line thought, less easy and natural to him.
Mr. Moody said he used 10 preach that God was angry
with sinners ovoy day but he had got over that 1t was
ahappier thought that God so loved the world, lie
gave his only bcGotten Son that whosoeVer beeVeth IN
Him should not perish but have everiasing me-
Instead OF the religion which lays all its emphasis upon
death and teaehes that mon born TO die he wonid
make all bear him fee the JOY OF lfe lie only seeks
10 turn it into pure and simple channels, and throngn
faith TO make death valley less DARK Ills own heou
appreciation of life is one secret OF MS success i'
nature social active opcnhoarted He tells apou' MS
friends his wife, and children and his congregation eel
that they have known him since he was boy. ihe
longer he breaches he intimate IS the friendship
between him and his people.

600 tickets taken for last night
The sermon follows:
few weeks ago had for subject Love dd
nbicct 2 and TO-DAY would like to continue it. Some
said that the fruit OF the spirit s az IN one woid m
love" speaks in Galatians about iOFe the lrtnI VI
tie spirit being love, joy, peace genteness &
ng loekncss and temperance Inc way a ns nY T. love
eYnltsnt peace love in repose, and long suuorhs -
love enduring IL an oSe you & see, IN ".g .Su and faith
is love on the battlefield, and meekness Is love ~ hcnoo
and temperance is love in training. Now there are
great many that have got and they hold the truth
Ishond have said they have got TnsI Dn. fy ~ k
ine for God They very harsh and God cannot use
them Now let us nod me truth "a, & e1 ~ US 1aD i talk
you only do 1t IN love ~ You 90 ls ~ b, 2 W,nt
ia 10 have the truth and at time hold it IN love
Then there another OF people in the world that
ns tbe tiIh because they are afraid will hurt some
ONES feelings. That is wrong We want the Tno,e tiutn
and believe one Ge9Sl b rIS ot III. ove met lady in
the inquiry ro0m to-day and could not convince her
that God loved her, for she said He dd love heE iio
would not treat her as lie hsd d S Ser own rule
as l said the other day, and we are not slnoere H
we don't really possess Very profess TO have
love for person when we dc not ard we thnk G91 Is
like us Now God s just what He says He is and He
wants His children be sincere in love not to love ust
merely in word and in tongue, but TO love IN earnest
Yon mght IS well why the sun shines IL cant
help SHINING aud neither can He help loving secase ne
is love Himself and any one that -! he is 9o' p % s
