the third chapter OF John there we and that God
so loved the world that he gave his only begotten
Son, that whoSoever belleveth might not perish but
have everlasting life" In the third chapter Of Gene
sis we find how man lost life and the third chap
again. don't know any chapter that makes the
way TO heaven so plain; you need not 60 from the
third Of John to find eternal life, you need not go
out OF this house TO find tiff you are really In ear
nest Now, don't know any subject important
than the subject of regeneration and
don't know Of anything that is taught palmer
subject The Church and the world is SO confounded
upon as this Regeneration is the foundation OF our
nope OF our religion II Is the OF God. and IL Is
better to understand the third OF John before you
understand anything else, and the most solemn ques-
bs on we can ash. ask now IS hayc oeen born agan
enter the Kingdom Of God" Regeneration is not going
10 church.
THE DEVIL GOES TO CHURCH
every Sunday The idea that Satan is only in the dark
places is erroneous He Is here tonight, busy trying
to get you not to believe the Word of God So If 60
ing TO church is regeneration, there is hope for the
sinners. The devil is regular attendant at every
church he is the first In II and the last to leave It. II
man says 81 try TO do about right" what Is that
II is not being born again Some say they will turn
new leaf make resolutions but that is not being
tried and failed Some say, 81 was born again when
was baptized, ana some really believe that when
they were baptized into the Church that they were
baptized into the kingdom Of God Baptism is all
right in its place. God forbid that should say any
thing against IT, but when you put IL In the place OF
birth II is a terrible snare. II could bap-
tie into the kingdom Of God, could do It
than preaching here-l would go up and down the
streets with bucket of water and baptize all met
whether they wanted IL or not. | would
catch them asleep IL | could do no other. way.
(Laugher) You must be born again suppose you
partake of the sacrament Well that is all right in its
proper place. but that is not being born agan-that
not passing from death unto lie So think il is the
most solemn question you ask yourselves tonight
Have been born Of the spritS" Have passed from
death unto lifeS' Some say 81 think these meetings
are very good for certain class OF people" Who did
Christ say this TOP Nicodemus OF the best
men in the Kingdom. If we had him here we would
very likely put him at the head OF Of colleges
Rev Nicodemus d. D., LIZ ID. | am glad he did not
say this to Zaccheus, because great many Of the
PHARIsEEs TO-DAY
would say that Gospel is very good for the outcass but
we moral men and don't need It, Oh sinners, to-
night make up your minds that you will follow in the
footsteps of Nicodemus Oh may you be born into
the kingdom to-nght may God keep every soul from
going out Of this building till it has passed from
death unto life. Mr. Moody requested all who wished
TO be prayed for to rise, and quite large number rose

ing and Mr. McBurney over the young mems meeting.
