warning him not TO trust TO men.
II we trust in the flesh. said Mr.. Moody,
we shall surely be DESTROYED. Nothing Du'
disappointment could result from putuhs
ones trust In the flesh. Some are trust
Ing In their creeds. some In the preach
or, the church, and the like. All are
trusting In something or somebody. we
are not 10 trust IN ourselves
] know a gooi deal more about Coo $
heart than I do about my own III
doesn't require so much faith 10 trust
In God as II does to trust In ones sell.
Mr. Moody here read a number OF
passages from the Bible bearing upon
the Importance Of trusting In God, ana
not In ones works, feelings, creed, ana
the like. When Jesus Christ cried out on
the cross. 1T is finished said he II
was A shout from a conqueror. III you
trust In God he will not let you come
TO grief. he will not let you perish.
HOW TO TRUST.
Trust In the Lord with all thine
heart" ! find a great many people VINO
think they are trusting In the Lord with
all their heart. They are mistaken. they
are hard-hearted. You mothers that nave
a little doubt about your husbands or
children's trust. why, you are miserable
II you feel that they are a little de-
cetful. you can't be happy. When they
trust you with their whole hearts, tnen
you are happy again. Believe God Win
all your heart, and you will have peace
and rest. Don't let these dark DOUBTS
come into your lives. Wipe them out
and trust God with all your hearts IL
you can't trust Christ, | don't know VINO
in the wide. wide world you can trust
All other ground Is sinking sand.
WHEN TO TRUST.
Trust in him at all times" find that
a good many people will trust in God
when everything is bright. but when
storms. trials and temptations come, they
lose their coincidence. But the Scriptures
say trust him at all times. Don't you
trust the banks and deposit your money
constantly? Don't you trust the physi-
clan when you don't know what Kind
Of medicine he Is going 10 give? Some
people say it Is not reasonable TO trust
God all the time ! say ii is the most
reasonable thing In the world. The child
trusts its parents. and often doesn't I'M
derstand the parents motives or rea-
sons. SO with the Christian. He doesn't
always understand Gods reasons. But
he should trust with that childlike faith
and simplicity which is perfect
I'd rather have the God Of Heaven
behind me than 10 have the Bank OF
England. or the United States Treasury.
God will take care Of you If you will
trust him. God has taken care Of many
A widow and child. You talk about your
pension system. That is nothing to Gods
power 10 take care OF a soldiers widow
and children.
AN EAIsrsr APPEAL.
Mr. Afoody's appeal to the widows IN
the audience to put their trust In God
was earnest and tender. These meetings
will soon be closing, said he TINS taoer-
nacle will soon come down 1 long 10
see every one I'm this audience trusting III
God before the meetings close.
Mr. Moody then asked all who wished
for the Christian people TO pray for their
salvation TO rise. About sixty people
arose. He then asked the Christian peo-
ple present who had relatives or friends
for whom they wished the Christian
people TO pray for 10 stand. Nearly two
thirds Of the audience arose and MT
Moody offered an earnest petition LOT
their salvation. 80,

ing was dismissed, ana a prayer meeting
was conducted in the tabernacle Wnile
an inouirv meeting was held az the Y.

Mr.. Moody announced that this after
noon he would preach 10 the white peo-
ple in the tabernacle for the last time.
II understand" said he, that this taber-
nacle is not yet paid for. / do not want
to leave this city until the structure mas
been paid for. and I earnestly request
that each Of you will bring as liberal
an offering as possible tomorrow.
