He Conducts the Closing Services of
His ENLARGEMENT in st Paul.

Mr.. Moody addressed two audiences yes
terday, limited only by the capacity Of the
House Of Hope church. The first service
was at 10 o'clock and the ladies formed the
larger part of the congregation. The even
ing meeting began at 80. After singing
and prayer Mr.. Moody said his time was
brief, as he had to leave on the evening tram
for Cincinnati, aud be would therefore speak
as pointedly as possibly to those who were
considering communion with Christ. He
said,
If man believes with bis heart be win be
saved. Men are ashamed Of the power Of
Christ, of the Christion religion. Believers
of false religion are proud of their church.
After one believes he should confess Christ
with his mouth. This is the wav to start out
after embracing him. II man
should creep into heaven by a back
door and sit down quietly as though he had
always been there, wouldn't think much of
his Christianity. The soldier in the army
must don the uniform. The servant must
put on the livery. Put on the livery Of
Heaven, my friends. We are all pack of
towards, else we would make our condition
known. A great many people would join the
church If they thought their friends would
not know it. No man can be disciple of
Jesus unless he takes up the cross. / viii
