R. MOODY OK CIIRIST AND ADAM.

MR.. MOODY on CHRIST AND ADAM.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FIRST ADAM IN THE
GARDEN AND THE SECOND ADAM, THE son OF
GoD-MAS's TWO NATURES-PUrIING OFF THE
OLD AND TAKING on THE NEW SPIRITUAL
PRIDE.
Mr. Moodys subject yesterday afternoon was
peculiar. and was treated a Characteristic way. He
preached on "The Two Adams"-the first Adm who
brought sin into the world. and the second, who was
without sin. There two natures gwen us, said the
preacher and a conflict is always going on be-
tween them. Mr. Moody pro his inexhaustible
powers in these last days of the revival IL
stead OF repeating himself or showing any
poverty economy in his sermons nc
multip,s them and than pGodisal with is
thoughts and vivid sketches. He breaches now three
times day on subjects various can be brought TO
bear upon tho question OF salvation He Is the great
tadati1g center His seem 10 be thrown on by
q centrifugal force or their own rather than by any
mental eor. Their power is not so much the Thought
as the feeling behind the tEought-tho moral force with
which the evangelist is filed. As he said yesterday
Not but Christ, not flesh but spirit not sight Dut
faith"
The sermon was follows:
