MIs. MOODY IN BURLINGTON,
Thursday.

| THE NOON PRAYER MEETING
The church was fillod, pews and gallerie.
being occupied. After very large num-
ber OF requests had been read by Mr. SAT-
ford, Brother Mial Davis offered prayer.
Mr.. Moody read from the 18th chapter OF
Matthew, the parable of the sOwer, and
briefly commented on it. As in Christ :
time, there are now four classes of hearers
The first are somewhat impressed by the
truth, but that il all /; it falls on them, but
they render no obedience to it. The impress
sion, OF course, is soon gone. There are many
such here, impressed but halting They d.
right to count the cost. but not to shrink
from 1t This is a matter which cannot be
compromised
The second clasS-of stony-ground hear
ers-is very common one. They 20 with
the crowd, whichever way it goes; but
their conscieuces have not been touched.
They have no depth of root. and they soon
fall away. Ii is necessary TO make thor
ough work, to have purpose which
reaches down to the depths of the heart.
So only can we stand.
The third class is also too common. Per-
haps We cannot say that they are not
cares of the world and the decetiulness
Of riches choke their piety. The new life
has feeble, untruitful existence in them.
God will not have the second place in our
affections. Those who prefer gay parties to
the prayer meetings better stay in the
world. These Christians who try to serve
both God and the world, are to be pitied.
They cannot find peace. There is. thank
God. fourth class-the fruit-bearer@, Yet
some of these seem to be afraid lest they
should have too much religion and bear too
much fruit But those who do the most for
the Master, who bear the most fruit. are
the happiest. There is no Joy like that of
leading souls to Christ. Let each remem-
Der that he has an account to rerGcr for
himself. There are fruit-bearing Christians
here, and if | should come back here ten
years hence. | know | should find here
some who had been going right ON doing
good and faithful work IN Christ's cause.
Let not such be discouraged because all
do not hold out. Some will fall away, but
Jesus remains faithful and will aid and
reward his own. \ great work Eas been
done in Burlingt ton but greater remains
to be done. Let each Christian do his duty
and this work will 90 on, and with great;r
power,
Mr.. Moody said he would like to hear
from those who believed this work was not
to stop here, ana a number OF ministers and
laymen expressed their strong conviction
that i, could not and would not stop. and
their willingness to aid in it. In answer to
a request from Mr.. Moody that those who
desired the gift of the Holy Spirit for
service would manifest it by rising almost
the entire congregation rose.
After several short prayers, the meeting |
closed. a number remaining to take Mr.. |
Moody by the hand ard give him their fare
wells and blessings.

before popular audiences, in 3 sitting pJs-
ture.
lie came into that body imbued with
some OF the financial errors prevalent III his
section, but when the attitude OF the Gov
er1ment toward the national obligations
was defined by statute he accepted It 10
good faith, and he threw his influence on
the side OF resumption. In 1873 the com
mittee Of which he was chairman, that On
privileges and Elections, was called upon
by resolution to report the best and most
practicable mode Of eecting the President
and VIct President, and providing a trIbu-
hal to adjust and decide all contested cleo
tIOns connected Herewith His report
then and hI- speeches since, together with
his papers on the subject in the North
American Rerie1, have done much TO ad-
vance this Important question.
Senator Morton appears to have been
iavorltc with those ~ao knew him best. lie
was an earnest man, and his HInd was IN
tent on large subjects. His physical iu-
trinity debarred him from the exhibition Of
Oratory in the delivery Of his speeches, but
he was always heard with interest, and the
iorty-four millions Of American people were
his outside audience.

A fat young hippopotamus
Sat grimly by the Nile.
Contriving dire vengeance y.
On lady crJca die,
Who, that morning, for her breakfast
Ate up his brothers twain
So he p 1ndered long and deeply
How TO pay her back again.
All at once an idea struck him,
And he broke into a smile,
Il have it," cried he joyhlly,
''I'll fix that crocodile ~
Then he trOttei throu III the rushes
Until he reached dry land,
When he cTept along quite silently
To n mound in the hot sand.
Where the crocodile had buried
Her eggs, because she knewl
The IOrrid sun would hatch them
Within month or two.
Now, the savage muther-reptile
Was nowhere 30 be seen,
For she was calmly slumberng
Among the ru-hes green.
The little hoppopotamus
Moved cautiously and slow,
Until he saw the heap OF eggs
Then laughed he long ana low.
Then boldly he marched forward
And stamped upon that nest,
And jumped and kicked and pranced about,
As If he were possessed.
Till all the eggs were scattered
And broken every one.
While all the little crncndiles
Forth from the shells dill run.
The ancient moth r-crocodle,
Hearing her young ones wall,
Came rushing from her muddy couch,
Waving her frightful tail.
The little hippopotamus
Was having q en- huge fun,
Stepping upon the babies.
To smash them one by one;
30 he failed TO see the mother,
Nor dreamed I h mishap,
Till-whack against his side SO fat
There came an awful slap.
II lifted him from Of his feet,
An hurled him up on high,
And away he went careering
Like rocket in the sky.
How far he flew | know not.
But It's said that he was thrown
On the py pyrsmid Of Cheops,
Straddling the iopmost stone.
Being too fat to Chamber down,
lie may be there this dav,
Unless some one in balloon
Has carried him away.
But OF this ou may he certain.
That II he is not found
In tho air or in the water,
He's somewhere on g ground.
