and urging all to accept it. Mr.. Moody
after asking the choir to sing Believe and
Keep on Believing" invited the workers
present to go about the hall and speak
words OF comfort and entreaty to those who
needed them and were willing to listen.

vast audience at length dispersed after the
hymn, God Be With You Until We Meet

Shams and Hypocrisy.
The meeting at Convention Hall yester-
day afternoon was undoubtedly the largest
afternoon meeting in the history of Mr..
Moody's work here. and it is estimated that
not less than 5000 people attended. the
gallery even being crowded. Leader Foster
was absent, and Mr.. Harry Kimball led the
great choir the first hymn being Revive

choir, when Mr.. Sankey rendered Nothing
But Leaves" At Mr.. Moodys request, the
choir and audience sang Come, Holy Spirit.
heavenly Dove"
When the last note had died away, Mr.
Moody addressed the throng speaking of
shams and hypocrisy. He said there was a
great deal of both in and outside of the
church, and remarked that some people
were made very uncomfortable to hear the
truth spoken about them. A great MANY
people nursed pleasant sins which they
well knew that they would have to relin-
quish before they could become all that
God required them to be. And there were
long as they were told unpleasant truths.
But it was the truth they should hear, and
1t was the truth they should heed II they
did not there was no hope for them.
Mr.. Moody then went on to tell his hear
ers many plain truths, and closed by this
reference to spiritualism:
Christ apd Spiritualism.
And now there is another point where
1 may hurt the feelings of a great many of
you, and 1 want to notify you before hand,
as l expect to have your forgiveness be-
fore 1t is done. How many of you as soon
as there is one Of your family that has
gone from you for all time does not listen
to the promptings Of so-called friends and
go off in secret to try to win back some
message or token from the dead. What
would Christ think of such a performance?
Of people and turning out the gas while the
tables hop around and spirits give me mes
sages of the beloved ones have lost"
No." he cried. IF there are any mes
sages that God has for me from my beloved
ones He is going to give them to me in
broad daylight, and won't wait till the gas
Is turned out, and have paid for my adj
mission to hear the truth from Him"
