branded rs feloa.
Numerous Ike anecdotes and iiIustrs-
tions brought out the points OF Mfr
Moody's direct talk. The fourth division,
that Ignorance OF tse seed made no differ
ense a. 10 the harvest, completed the dis
course. The revivalist was intensely
pathetic ~ times. and very striking Ia his
plain eioqGence. He surveyed the pros.
poets in store for the young uInn who
visited saloons, speat bis nights Al places
of bad repgte. played billiards, broke tbs
sabbath, or spoke OF his mother with CON
tempt. for instance, a. the .'old lady"
when .ouf with the boys" II was In APP
pealing TO the respect OF youth for mother"
that Mr.. Moody's intense pathos had such
lions apparently lowed ike clear and
sparkling water, and all to the point To
give his talk 10 his own words;
When was In Vancouver man told
me he had not written 10 his mother in
seven years said he: al VIII 70 right
home and write 10 her" You tell me the
kind of life a man Is living aud I'll tell
you v hat kind OF harvest he'll rcap. You
remember the story Of a man taking his
old father 10 the poor house, and how his
little boy spoke up and said: Pa. when
you get 10 be as Old as grandpa / suppose
in have 10 take you to the poor h0nse. .
The man turned back aud took his old
father home. You look upon your parents
with contempt and your children win look
upon you with contempt. Bat acme man
saws, Can't repent and get rid of all this
penalty" Now, supposing that yoang
man over there was working for me. /

/ always supposed that II was that Mr.
Cough had not done right by his mother,
( for when Cough was lying in the gutter
I his mother was going 20 the grave.
In conclusion Mr. Moody related the ex.
perience which young man gave before
the Y. N. C. A. OF Cnit ago, when Mr.. Moody
was its president This young man had kept
putting of visiting his prsyerful mother
because he didn't want 20 become Chris
tisn. when he finally did decide To 20
back and visit her. he found her newly.
made grave In the village cemetery. The
speaker gave the picture of the Savior
weeping over Jerusalem, sad pointed To
the peFishing vi the l, 100000 in distraction
which eventually followed.
II you are going to SOW In sin, said he,

the wicked man forsake his WAYS, and the
unrighteous his thoughts, and the Lord

the great trunk lines there was great land

Hut there In the dnrk he picked up tie
broken fragments OF glass, all the pieces
of the lantern. aud when the train came
rolling along. rs IL rushing into the arms of
death, he nrSv,d himself 10 one heroic Fl.
