The Charlotte News says The third
service of the evangelical revival was at
tended by a large and appreciatiVe au'
dience, Mr.. Moody selecting for his text
"Be not deceived. God is not Knocked,
for whatsoever a man soweth that shall
he also reap"
dis direct assertions and practical illus
t~rations scored a point each time in favor
of his argument. His theme for discus
sion was Deception, in its various forms
of existence and prevalence. He tells
those who deprecate the power Of prayer
and the interest of mothers, wives and
sisters in their spiritual welfare, to halt
in their mad career, and listen to their
admOnition, for as they soWeth so shall
they reap. His remarks upon sowing the
seed, and his telling speech upon the
harvest we would reap, was told in a de-
lightfully persuasive manner and impress
sive style. He divided his subject into
four parts:
l. Man expects to reap what he sOws.
3. He must reap the same kind of seed
he sows.
3. He expects to reap more than he
sows.
4. Ignorance of the kind of seed sown
makes no difference.
A farmer does not plant one kind of
seed, and expect the growth another to
reap. Neither do we SOW seeds of dis
honesty and reap anything else. Nail
ing common lies, and exposing petty sub
terfuges daily practiced, fully exempliied
the enormity Of deception, and ~illustra.
ted clearly what we sow we shall reap
Be it good seed, ours is the harvest by
and by be it bad seed, we will reap in
tears, agony and bitterness the full meas
ure of our sin.
He demonstrated by pleasing arrav of
argument and example that we sow one
seed and reap a thousand fold tares
pr~oportiOnately. In his appeal to men
he told the old, old story of mans inhu-
manity to man." saying he who sold
liquor to one mans son would himself
reap drunkards in his own family. A |
man who rented his property for the
purpose of dispensing liquor was as
guilty as he who sold it.
To the husbands WHO neglect their
wives he appealed in touching remarks,
and painted wildly the picture of woe
Sowing the seeds of reckless habits,
drink and carousals will find their own
reward. Tell me how a man treats his
parents and I'll tell you what manner of
man he will be. A disregard for parental
wishes is sowing seeds Of discomfort and
an unsuccessful life. Such will be the
thistles in after years they will reap. Flu
ture retribution is as fure as death, and
God has said, "If you die in your sins
where l am you nno come Though
we be forgiven for our sins, the penalty
of sin death, and certain consequences
we must reap.
Sin to-day is the worst enemy that ex-
lists, and your sin will find you out. He
besought those present to listen to the
voice of COnscience-heed those who
warn you of the danger ahead. Turn
your thoughts inward, upon yourself,
analyze your spiritual condition and re
ceive the guidance of those who love you.
He told us the dissertation of the Sab
bath was a deplorable truth; Chicago had
disposed of it and New York was follow
ing suit. A dark day is coming for this
republic when the Sabbath shall be done
away with. In thought and expression
Mr.. Moody grew intense at times, and
his whole soul was in his every utterance
