Heaven were to fly over Rich
mond, do you suppose they
would stop in any of your man
sions? What are earthly man
sions in comparison with heaven
ly mansions? We are told not to
seek great things for ourselves.
a man once asked me why poll
tician could not be Christian. [
told him that it was because he
had his entire heart set on the
office he sought. Politicians can
be Christians if they will stop
seeking the Offices and let the
offices seek chem, and let them
find their reward in Heaven.
WILL KNOW EACH OTHER.
Nov as to whether we shall
know eack other there Did
you know that Christ never
spoke of death here. He spoke
of going to the Father. 1t does
seem to me foolish for people to
mourn and don black over the
death Of persons who have lived
| their allotted time on earth
three-score years and ten-and
died in triumph. [ should think
that they would heap rather you
would wear white and rejoice
over their deliverance. The
Bible says that we shall be salts
fed in Heaven. Do you think
that we could be satisfied if we
did not known each other? Then.
again, it says Isaac and Jacob
will be there. I think that ques-
ton ought to be settled right
here to-day. We will undoubtedly
know each other. If you could,
by a vote, call back your dead
friends, how many of you
would cast your ballots in favor
of it? You would not want your
friends brought back from
Heaven, would you? Then why
mourn for them?"
THE TIES THAT DRAW Us.
After telling a pathetic story
Of the translation of a beautiful
child to Heaven, and picturing
the happiness which she'eaioyed.
| Mr.. Moody said: Haven't all
of yon got some one whom you
wish to meet in that land where
there is no death? You can meet
them there if you will. All of
US have an elder brother there.
who died for us nearly 1900
years ago. Won't you meet Him
there? God says, I am the way.
Come His way, won't you, sin
ner? Oh, how glad He would be
, to welcome you there. You1
loved ones will rejoice in your
coming. We haven't got long tc
remain here. Let US put ou1
house in order and prepare to
meet our God"
| Mr.. Moody asked all who
wanted to have their names
written in the Lambs Book OF
Life to stand, and a large mum
Der responded. He then prayed
that that entire congregation
might find their way to Heaven
5 In response to his invitation fo1
t converts to attend the inquiry
: meeting at the Young Mems
Christian Association Hall about
800 people attended. Mr.. Need
| ham then took charge of meeting
and made a short talk, exhort
I ing his hearers to come tc
Christ.

Mr.. Moody's theme was Sin

the Goth chapter of Exodus, The
evangelist took as his text, DAME

verse in the prophecy of Daniel
