asked the audience 70 assist by contribute

wanted nothing from those who did not
feel like giving 1.-THE Lord loyeth cheer |
full giyer, Alirge sum Of money was col
lected.
Mr, Moody said that he wanted 10 |
speak words whereby those listening to
him might DO saved he wanted to make
the way Of LIE plain he believed that
there had been an awakening in the city.
While l speak want you to pray that
what say may be OF help to some poor
soul searching for the Way, l want to
call your attention 70 Romans 10; 0, 10
and II. There are no TIRES verses In the
Bible that make the Way palmer,
WHAT YOU MUST DO,
Paul tells you in a very few words what
you must do to be saved believe with
your heart, confess with your mouth and
not to be ashamed OF 1t, Take those
three stems aud the rest is all Joy, peace
and comfort, ] know OF no religion
but that of Jesus Christ that
men are ashamed Of, Those who
have false religious doctrines are
always proud Of them. How many are
there that would not become disciples Of
Christ II II was not for this stumbling
bloCk-bsing ashamed OF Him. What
more glorious thing Ia there than the gos'
pei Of Christ and yet marvellous 70 relate
men are ashamed to confess 1t, The
trouble is, We are moral towards, The
way to Heaven Ia straight as line, but
right there In the centre OF the highway
Is cross that cannot be gone under or
passed around II 1t must. be taken right up
and carried, You never meet Christ until
that eross Is taken up,
What q rush there would be II people
could without Coniessing Christ slip into
Heaven by some aide gate, cit quietly
down and act as though they
had been there all the time. But that
can't be; we must confess Him and not be
ashamed oft, No man has ever confess
cd Christ and not been blessed OF once,
II you want blessing you must give faith
no uncertain sound, When was 1t Peter
tellV When he was ashamed to own his
Master. And 1t was the same with you,
Come out and show your CoIoIs. What
would you think OF a man who would like
To. JPN an army, provided he did not have
10 put on tho unilorm2 Would you or
any government on earth want him under
such provsIOns2 MOI Ityou are to be
the servant Of Jesus Christ you must put
on the livery Of Heaven and confess Him
before all men. II you who claim to be
christians would confess Him at all timeg
| It would NO! DO long before the number OF
followers Of Christ would be doubled
Mr.. Moody read from Luke 0, 20 and
Luke l2, 10 more strongly impress his
points.
TUE FAMILY ALTAR.
II there Ia 0 man here who claims to be
q good, pious man and 10 afraid to 20 home
and confess Ohrlst by erecting family al.
tar, wouldn't give much fol his piety.
May God help you tonight to say, N am
1 Interested In this great matter Of finding
the way" What harm Gan 1t do II men
do talk about you II you become
Christian you will be here but short
time at the iarthest. II q man laughs at
me because Of my principles l am !e ::
times stronger. ! pity any one that is
laughed out Of principle. Ilitis right to
serYs God, serve Him. You can't get into
the kingdom without opposition.
Don't think that you are to have an
easy time Of II in this matter; that It is no
battle. Life Is battle anyhow, and 1t is
easier to fight for Ohrist than
against Him. II is only o little
while until the laughing Of the scollers
shall be turned to mourning. There is an
old house In the south OF France that has
on it thig motto, where It has been for
yearsi "Ihey say; what do they say?
Let them say" It's q good motto for our
day. Many are kept out by what they"
say. Act as Il you were the only man in
the world. There are those in your circle
that will be drawn to Christ Il you come
out yourself. Some say that they are not
ashamed Of Christ but Of themselves. He
don't ask you 70 confess yourself, but
Him; be ashamed oil yourself all the time.

ashamed that I can't say more TO

no conversions men say that the occasion
has been splendid he is tine talker and
oil that, but Il there ore conversions there

pieces. There sjoy In Heaven, however,
when there Is rage mere. There Is always
q Gommetion oyer everything Christ does.
He spoke aS he has spoken before In an
earnest manner about the assurance
the Christian should have. There are
lots Of Christians that don't know that
they were born blind. No man
was ever cast out that was not
found by Christ. He told OF the
blind man that washed In the pool
Of Sloan and Joseph Of AramstheS,
tie faith they had and the manner in
which they confessed Christ and were
prosecuted lor II, and closed with strong
appeal asking II any one In the audience
could do better for time and eternity than
to confess Christ. Everything he said
and every illustration no made was mark
ed by its plainneas andlsimplicity. He
prayed at The close aud then turning the
meeting into prayer meeting with Rev.
Dir. cunningham In charge, repaired TO the
church across the street where he held an
inquiry meeting that was largely at
