SOWING AND REAPlNG.
| Mr.. Moody spoke from the 7th verse of
/ the 9Th chapter Of Galatians: BE not de-
! ceived; God is not Knocked; for WhatsoeVei
a man soweth that shall he also reap.
/ Il believed that verse when / was III

! .hut believe it one hundred times as
firmly now. The man must b. blind who
does not see the truth of these words
! II is Gods decree. II Is as old as man

HOOK INTO THEIR HEARTS.
Mr. Moody said he was not much hand

The speaker then enunciated thes'
