ever satisfied with what honOrs he had
and was not most unhappy. Stephen
A. Dunlap died of broken heart, SO did
Webster and Clay, and so with business
men though financially successful.
Steward and Vanderbilt were the great
est failures the world ever knew, and talk
about dieing rich, they both died poor,
they did not take any more out OF the
world than they brought into it, and
any man il he has his millions and not
Christ, with all his wealth dies bank
rupt. They have plenty of treasures
here, if they have them not beyond the
grave they will die the very poorest OF
men"
have q letter from a
man just received, in which he
SAYS he can't believe. He can believe,
he don't want to believe; let him pray
to believe, earnestly, honestly and fer
yently with all his heart, and then II he
fails to believe, and it is out of his pow
er to believe, | believe God will save
him in his sins" | thought OF Bob
Ingersoll here] 'In this land OF Bibles
and God gospel preached, unrepentant
as we are, having sympathy Tor heathens
that worship idols of wood and stone,
and who have not the equal privileges
of the gospel, l say that man that
makes a God OF money, politics, lame
or any worldly thing to glorify himself,
is as much an idol worshiper as heath
ems, and believe will fare worse at the
great day.
Humility is one OF the strongest evil
dences of GodlineSs, and | say where
pride, vain glory and Standardization
possesses man, God will strike him
down; he has done it in the pulpit and
in every avocationbf man."
Turning to one Of the young men Mr..
A., he asked, "do you want to he a
Christian"
Mr.. A.-Not now.
M-When then?
A-Before | die,
M-You might die now.
A-Ies, sir, might.
M-Then when you don't know how

think YOU had better embrace Christian

A-Well, sir, | will think over it.
M-Well, while you are thinking
over it YOU might die. and where do

M-Well, ii you do and you don't
make any preparation while you live,
what preparation can You make alter

A-None that | know Of, but know
| will have to bea Christian to go there.
M-When?
A-Beforc die.
Mr.. Moody then prayed, and the con-
versation, short and pointed, had,
doubtless, its Judgment.
On last Sabbath he preached from the
text: Christ came into the world to
save sinners" Alter describing most
graphically the sutierings OF our Savior,
his appeal, SO pathetic, SO persuasive
and tender, touched many heart. lie
said: "You don't know how God loves
YOU. God can't do anything more. He
gave His only Son to die for you. lie
gave all ne llau. III HAS uot S't an
thing more to give. Ii He had He
would God emptied all Heaven when
He gave His Son to die. Jesus can't
do anything more. He came from the
throne OF God, where all praise and
honor surrounded Him, to come here
and suffer and die for you. You would
not have Christ to die over again, would
you? He died justto save YOU, because
lie loved you. Can't you just receive
Him? Won't you be saved? Just
trust Him; just try to receive; just in
vite Him, and let Him cntcryour heart.
lie will ii You will let Him"
Many received Him that evening. In
my next | will give you synopsis OF
his sermons for this week, and also the
good he is accomplishing. FLASH.
