Mr.. Moody Talks to the Men Of Provi-

Mr.. Moody preached on Sunday even

text Luke, xiv chapter, IS, 10 and Goth
verses.
will call your attention tonight to
the three men 1 have just read about.
The first said unto him, "I have bought a
piece of ground and must needs go and
see IL; pray thee have me excused"
Tonight ! have an invitation for you to
feast, not an ordinary but royal feast.
The same invitation that was extended
TO these three men 1900 years ago nearly
is extended still to you. And you will
notice that those three men all with
one consent began TO make excuses.
Now these three men didn't have an ex-
cuse-.so they made one-there is differ
ence between having and making ex-
cuses. The first had bought a piece OF
ground and wanted to see IL, just at sup
per time; he hadn't made partial bar
gain and was afraid some one would step
i'm and he would lose the land; /
will venture 20 say he had gone over
every rod OF IL lengthwise and across,
men don't buy land without going TO
look at II; but he made that excuse. He
could have accepted the invitation and
gone to look over the land too, he had
plenty OF time, but he wanted some
excuse.
The second man had bought Ave yoke
OF oxen and must prove them. Why
didn't he prove them before he bought
them2 He bad plenty OF time TO prove
them; we know that he never took the
oxen out OF the stall that night, he had
plenty Of time TO accept the invitation
and then 60 and prove his oxen, but he
didn't want to 20 so he hid behind the
five yoke Of oxen.
The third mans excuse was more absurd
than the other two. al have married a

dead yet shall he live." Martha was the
first one to hear those words. Then He
says, "Where Is Nary" And then she
ran back into the house and said, "Come,
Mary, the Master Is here and
callcth for you" The moment Mary
heard she rose and left those friends who
didn't believe In Him and ran out to meet
Christ. And II Is evident that these sis

until at last the fatal hour
comes. Some OF you know what
it is to have the doctor come out
from the sick room and tell you there is
no hope and the loved one must go, that
all that you can do cannot keep that
loved one. Now that storm was going to
burst upon that home and want to say to
every woman in this audience that the
hour is coming when you will surely need
Christ. Christ would never have left
heaven to come down into this world IL
this world hand't needed Him.
Martha and Mary feel their need OF
Christ and send q servant for him-Chrst
could heal their diseased, suffering broth
er. But the brother grew worse rapidly,
and il is not long before he Is dead. They
keep him as long as they could, but they
couldn't keep him long i'm that hot coun-
try, and the hour came when they had TO
take their last look upon his face and fol-
low him 90 the little cemetery and IL was
all over, and they came back to their dark
home again. Some OF you, mothers, sis
ters, wive, know what ] am talking
about.
Three days have gone and the messenger
sent for Christ has not returned but the
fourth day along towards 4 o'clock i'm the
afternoon n messenger comes running
into the house and tells Martha who may
have been preparing the evening meal,
that Jesus was just outside the
walls. She doesn't wait for
anything but runs out TO meet
him and falls at his feet and said, "Lord,
hadst Thou been here my brother had
not died" Jesus says, "But thy brother
shall rise sgain.p ~ know that he will

to say that the first advent Of your

and convincing talk in its favor,
urging upon our people to send forth
to the world a manifestation of their
denominational and race pride by
patrOnlzing your paper. We would
say that our church is moving along
nicely considering that our pastor
has not been with us, until yester-
day, since July, he having been con-
fined to his home with rheumatism
We always feel it day of celebration
when our pastor comes.
We regret to say that sister Mary
Johnson, one of our prominent
young ladies is to leave us soon to
join the society of your city along
with her sister, Miss Minerva John
son. Our loss is your gain.

house was crowded to hear the sub
ject opened by sister Alice Lewis,
followed by several young ladies.
The spirit Of God was present and
the old people could not keep their
seats, each and every one had some
thing to say. This is one of the
grandest steps that has ever been TAX

cause it awakens the sleepy mem

Hattie Rogers, and a paper on the
snbject by Sister Hattie Alexander.
