He then said that every man looked for
ward to results from his efforts. That
when q man learned q trade he worked for
the first few months of his apprenticeship
for almost nothing, relying on the salary
which his knowledge of the business
would enable him to earn. And under the
second head he said that if a man learned
blacksmithing he did not expect to be a
ieweler, or if he studied to be a watch
maker he would not be a physician, or ifa
man sewed wheat he did not look
for a crop of cabbage or pota-
toes. If a person calls to see
YOU, and you tell your boy to say to him
that you are not at home, You teach that
boy to lie, and you must not be surprised
when he learns to deceive you. If a clerk
is encouraged to cheat customers, his en-
ployer must not think hard of it if the
clerk robs the till and the fruits of his
teaching thus recoils upon him.

strongest arguments against the liquor
traffic, and stated that throughout the
WHOLE COURSE OF HIS LIFE
he had never known a man to sell alcoholic
liquor for Is years that the curse did not
strike some member of his family. MIR.
Moody then related a few instances proving
this to be true, and reviewed the history
of Jacob and David to show the inevita-
BILE consequences of wrong sowing.
Then after speaking earnestly and m
preSsively against the tide of immoralty
which floods the country, he made a
touching appeal in behalf of its ruined
and deserted victims. In concluding this
portion of his sermon he said, II tell
You that on this broad earth
there is no more horrld,
hypocritical, abominable thing than the
way woman is treated after she is ruined.
She is ostracised and cut of from society
while her betrayer holds up his head
and looks the world in the face with
brazen pride, or perchance walks down the
aisles of your church, with his pure wife
leaning on his arm, in utter indifference to
the misery and degradation he has occa-
stoned. But God has His law to punish
him, and l tell you that the cry Of these
ruined ones does not go up to Heaven IN
vain. God will surely make him reap
the reward of his sowing"
Then referring to the fourth and last
head of his discourse, that a man is sure
to reap what he sowS, he related several
most pathetic anecdotes which moved the
congregation to tears, but want of space
forbids even a synopsis of them. His ser
mon throughout was most impressive, and
his personal magnetism held the congrega-
ton almost spell-bound until the close.
A short prayer meeting was held at the
close of the regular services.
Yesterday afternoon the overflow
meeting at the Chapline street church
was quite largely attended by those who
could not gain admission to the rink. This
meeting was conducted by Rev. Alexan-
der Patterson in q very interesting man
ner. These meetings will be con-
tinued every evening during the services
at the rink Every afternoon this week,
with the exception of Saturday, meetings
will be held at the First Presbyterian
church, at 7:30 in the evening n 1.-THE rink,
the exercises to be conducted by Mr..
Moody. There is every indication that
this series of meetings will do more good
for the morals of this city than any other
ever held here.
