Iigious Fervor at the women's Meeting.
The beginning Of the last Of the two
weeks evangelistic services at the Rink
yesterday was marked both afternoon
and evening by crowds, impressive sing
ing and earnest discourses. The after
noon meeting was devoted to women and
the evening service to men.
The large, reverential congregation
of men that assembled in the evening
was sight never before witnessed in
this city at religious meeting. But
| few women were present All listened
TO Mr. MOodys address with great atten-
tion aud all joined heartily in the sing
ing
Tho Evening Meeting.
The evening meeting began at 645.
Mr.. Moody took for his text "Be not de-
ceived. God is not mocked, for whatso-
ever mau soweth that also shall he reap.
He that soweth to the flesh shall Of the
flesh reap corruption, and he that soweth
TO the spirit shall OF the spirit reap ever
lasting life" He divided his discourse
into four divisions First, man expects to
reap. Second, expects to reap what he
has sown Third, more than be has
sown. Fourth. Ignorance of the kind OF
seed sown makes no difference he must
reap what he has sown
This law was described as having been
in force for over O0O years Men can
not get over it, under or around it.
Denial OF the existence Of a God does not
secure release from 1t nor does doubt
as TO It's being a Divine decree alter the
fact of it's enforcement in full view Of
every man or woman or of their convic
ton Of its truth. The man who steals
finds its truth in his Imprisonment The
man who lies TO others in the lies told
to him The merchant who teaches MS
clerks TO lie to his customers is in turn
deceived by his clerks, aud the father
who lies to his children finds his harvest
in the deceit and untruthfulness Of his
children.
In Scripture the characters of Jacob
and David were used as illustrations.
The speaker said they we're men Of God.
, He had forgiven their sins, but did not
exempt them from the law of reapiug and
sowing. Jacob lied to his old father and
, stole the birthright blessing from his
, brother, and found terrible harvest in
the deceit Of his ten sons. He not only
reaped what he had sown, but tenfold
/ harvest
