THE GREAT RvANoRLIsr.

 Yesterday was sgreat day for religious in- terssts at the university. For tho second time of this college year the students had the pleasure of listening to and being stirred up by tho remarks of Ar. Moody, the we'll known svangelist. MT. Moody came early Saturday and put up at the New Haven house. He arrived with only little time to spare be- i, fore beginning the service in Battell that he'd been arranged and was 90 we'll attended. Yesterday morning upon the invitation Of l Hiram Camp, president of the New Haven OIock company, MT. Moody occupied the I pulpit of the Ferry street church, and though the notice was very short very good sized congregation was present. Mr. Camp is ono of the trustees and most gener- ous supporters of Mr. Moody's school at Northheld and one of his warmest friends. At the afternoon and especially the evening service in Battsll chapel the seating capacity was taxed to its utmost, and even then peo- singing supsrintended the seating, causing the people to come up in the pulpit rather than remain standing. From the indications that are clearly manifest, there is not doubt that much good will result to the religious life of the university from the effects of MT. Moody's influence. His manner of going straight to the men in personal, fatherly way proved very efectual, as was shown In the after meetings in Dwight hall. To-day's services will be held in Bat tell at o'clock and 2 In the evening, at which the galleries will be open to the public.
 THE AFTERNOON SERMON. | The text was taken from the second chap ter of Titus. twelfth and fifteenth verses. The topic was. "Ths Grace of Salvation"
 There Is only one way to take gift and that is e . gift. Three-quarters of the peo-' pie in this university and in New Haven would be in the kingdom of God If they hadn't false idea of this gift. You say 'I'm nS: ready for t. I'm .Os no: fe0d snoueh" Hnn don't want medicine after you have got we'll. It sounds like joke to talk about working out your salva- ton before you've got 1t. You must get 1t before you work It out. I was in Boston once and my money was all gone and got letter from my little sister. She wanted me to look out for pickpockets. Uaughter.) voice from heaven spoke to him. Salvation Is first, working 1t out is next.
 There was southern spy once caught and condemned to be shot and and he spent his time "cursinR" Lincoln. | He cursed all the time he was awake till all his guards were ready to shoot him. | One day the officer handed him 8 pardon, signed Abraham Lincoln. and the man sat down on the floor and cried. Let any man say anything against Lincoln to him now and see what he says. That's grscei
 You know the old story of the pendulum and the olockl The pedulum got discour- aged to think how many ticks 1t would have to make. The clock reminded 1t that there was only one tick to make at time, and the lady once in London and she went and bought clock to remember 1t by, and talked about 1t so much they called her "Lady Fen- dulum."
 The twenty third. Psalm is more quoted and misquoted than any in the Bible: ''Yeai though pass through the dark valley" The word "dark isn't there. "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of desth." Did you ever see e shadow in the darki Guess not. tell you when your life Is most over you'll sec that what you've done for others is all that's worth anything. Don't be selfish. It pays to be unselHsh in the end. It pays all the while.
 EVENING SERMON.
 | Mr. Noodys talk last evening was from the subject. "Whatsoever Q man soweth, so shall he reap" I:remember giving this text out, he said, some years ago at a meeting and man arose and said I don't believe that. A sheriff stood ready to arrest him at the door for stealing, for which he was con- victed. It is true, whether one believes 1t or not, and has always been 80 since the world began. The sermon he divided into the four parts: T
 1. A man expects to reap when he sows. 9. He expects to rerp the same seed that he sows. 9
 8. Hs expects to reap more. 4. Ignorance of the kind of seed makes no difference In the resping.
 You men here In this institution expect to reap in the future and expect to reap just the medicine he doesn't expect to reap law. I don't believe there is a more solemn truth in the whole Bible than that c man will reap | just what he sows. If tell my boy when a man comes to the door whom I do not wish to sec that am not at home, why have put . lie in that boy's mouth and in e months time he will tell me He.
 Men are reapipg right here in this univer- sity just what they have sown. When was working in Chicago I liked to go around with the working men best when they were eating their dinner. One of them once spoke to me about the story of Jacob and Esau, and asked how l reoonciled Jacobs course of deception. Ja- cob said paid ten thousand times more than 1t was worth in the after years. A man that knocks me down and gets my pocketbook, don't get much to be sure, but he loses more than I do.
 Jacob worked seven years for Rachel and then he'd another woman palmed of on him. In his partial love for Joseph and Benjamin family. The wall of the broken hearted Ja- cob comes down through the years. He sowed . He and rsaped 1t after many year.. | How many there are who laugh at David's sins, but would rather put my hand in the Are there than laugh at David. He was pun ishsd most bitterly. He grew great and in his prosperity forgot his God and fell into sin. He rebelled against Gods moral law, and in the cry of anguish that went up over Absalom's erring conduct was the fruit of the harvest.
 4 man expects to reap more than he sows.
 Jacob told one He and his ten boys came back with ten lies, ten hypoorites. See how he suffered. It did not take him long to run out and get that kid to deceive his old cover from the anguish over the loss of his darling boyl
 Some of the men seem to think they can pursue any course of living in Q university and then leave off their irregular ways and begin now life. In . certain city some l blmo okO nOKo thoA thlEty WcN0 COuutcu who, though graduates of Oxford and Cam bridge, had become no better than vagabond tramps. There is no place of any size but examples of this kind are to be seen, of char. aoters started on the road of sin at the university. saw . man once who had been confined in . prison for thirty~seven and half years. About forty years previ. ous he owned hne farm on the outskirts of small town, and railroad desired track through his property, which he opposed The court granted the company's claim and the road was built and the trains soon run ming. Ono night . train was wrecked and many lives lost. It was found that an ob struction had been placed on tho track fol the purpose, and suspicion fell on him. He was found guilty of the crime and sentenced to prison for life. The small place grew into city of over 200, ,0O0, his property ad- vanced In value to more than e million dol lars, but of what benefit to him. Perhaps 1t only took him on hour to do that act but how long think you to reap the entire hsr. vest.
 Ignorance of the kind of seed makes nt ! difference in the rsaping.
 When you hear Q young man talk in [ Aippant way about sowing his wild oats don't encourage him on by laughing or nak' ing light of 1t.
 In the reaping there is the trouble that others are dragged down into the sorrow and misery. There was mother of boy 1T
