BE LIKE JOHN,
Don't Follow in IIerods Path" Says
Mr. Moody.
Ten thousand people crowded the
Moody tabernacle last night. There
was hardly room for one more. Two
thousand others stood outside. II tyus
by far the biggest meeting Of the Sc
rlcs. John the Apostle and his teach
iugs was chosen by Mr. Moody for
text, ana It seemed n8 n something
OF Johns spirit lowered near Number
% was sweetly sung:
The Lords our rock, in Him we Hide,
a shelter In tho time NJ storm;
Secure. whatever III boti1c,
a shelter IN the time OF storm.
Chorus
Oh, Jesus. Is n rock IN n weary land:
4 weary land. n weary land.
Oh, Jesus, Is "a mCk In q weary land,
a shelter In the time OF storm
A shade by day, defence by night,
A shelter In the time OF storm;
No fear, alarm; no fear. alright;
a shelter in the time OF storm.
The raging storm may round US beat:
shelter In the time of storm.
Wen never leave our safe retreat;
shelter In the time OF storm
O, Rock, divncl o, Refuge, deari
| A shelter In the time OF storm;
BE Thou our helper ever near.
a shelter IN the time of storm.

sing No. ll3-"Almust Persuaded 10 Rc-
celvo Him Now"
