one question himself deeply as to
whether he is sowing the wheat or tares
Every man knows what he is sowing.
You know Ii so you are going to reap
eternal remorse. You are sowing in
the flesh to reap in corruption. Do You
spend your evenings in the whisky
shops? l would prefer being slave,
as they were in the South, under tho
meanest master than be q ser
want to the devil, chained to
him and sweeping along to hell. To
you say what are you sowing? How
do you treat your psrents2 Do you
talk about them as being "too relig-
iousH" What an utter contempt feel
for the young wretch who lightly
speaks upon the street to his soothing
companions Of the "too religious" but
sainted mother. God have mercy upon
such a wretch.
Mr.. Moody then dealt with various
phases of the fourth division of his
sermon and closed with an earnest ap.
peal to his audience TO examine them
selves as to what they were reaping

ADDRESS TO LADIES.
The ladies' meeting at Elm Park
church at A o'clock afternoon drew n
large congregation of ladies to that
magnificent church. 1t was crowded
beyond its capacity with ladies of all
ages, and the effect of the various
pretty dresses and contrasting colors
was one not to be forgotten.
After several selections had been
sung under the direction OF Mr.. Steb-
bins, prayer was offered by Mr.. Moody
in terms most impressive. He asked
divine help for those women cursed
with drunken husbands and for the
blessing of the heavenly Father upon
the young maidens who were entering
the battle of life. In the course OF an
excellent address delivered by Mr..
Moody for the special benefit OF the la-
dies, he observed:
shall speak on these words which are
found in the epistle TO St. John chapter
4; "God is Love-" The love Of God Is an
Interchangeable love not tickle like the way
we love. There are many that you loved
,
pass on the streets unobserved and there
lies the difference between the human and
divine love.
THE LOVE OF GOD.
When our friends betray US and prove
dec5ltIul, we cease to love them, but Gods
love is Interchangeable, and He loves those
who love Him as well as those who do not.
The strongest human love is the love of a
mother The love Of father to n son may
be estranged, or the love Of wife to her
husband may cease, but not through the
wide, wide world will you lind u true
mother who will cease to love her babe.
After this introduction which s3-
cured the close attention of his hearers,
Mr. Moody proceeded to illustrate the
many points of his eloquent address
with thrilling incidents, which in SINH
lar language he applied with his usual
incisiveness to his large audience. His
plain method Of applying his deduc
tions made powerful impression upon
the ladies present and there is no doubt
that while the address would afford
consolation to many hungry souls there
were many also to whom it would be
instrueting upon the great subject of
love and particularly the duties of
Christian people with regard to the
love they should bear to one another
as we'll as to their Heavenly Father
SERVICES on WEST SIDE.
A very large number gathered be-
meath the canvas tent on North Main
avenue at 3 30 o'clock yesterday after
moor, NJ the services conducted by E.
". Bliss. The choir was in superb
condition and rendered sweet music
during the service Professor William
W. Jones conducted the singing and
Miss Marian Hutchinson presided at
tho organ. After the regular song ser.
vice Rev. Y. j. Collins prayed.
Mr.. Bliss took the text of his after
noon discourse from Paul to the He,
brews iv,, %. He said
The Bible is unit. There is no discord
whatever in its construction. It is the
same as an organ when touched by
skilled hand. There is harmony. The
seeds of truth were sown in Genesis and
developments following in the rest Of its
books. There is one very erroneous view
which some people have, and that is when
Christ comes, that it will be the end of the
world. For l,S00 years the Jews have
been blinded and the Gentles illuminated.
At the end of this sge most wonderful
transformation scene will occur. Some
say that Christ is only waiting for Ger.
tain development in the people to make
them ready to receive him. He came into
this world to put away sin, and it never
was put away until he came. We now saw,
"How about the saints OF the Old Testa-
meutp
BY virtue of the covenant of grace, God
had only pictured to the minds Of thess
Old Testament saints in such WAYS as the
Passover and the spotless lamb, bat the
real action was taken when Christ an.
peared. He will return here and take His
own. We shall see Him rs He is. Hasten
the day and let it come quickly and God
will take care Of His disciples.
A prayer followed. The evening ser.
vices were very largely attended A
service of song and prayer was held.
after which an eloquent sermon was
preached by Mr. Bliss. A large mum
Der attended.
