EVANGELIST SANKEY.
His Pertinent Criticisms Oh Matters In
teresting to 4 ii Religious PeOpIe.

Mr.. Sankey and party spent the
morning over the river, looking at the
| sights to be seen there. He feels his
hOarseness leaving him in this fine
weather, and hopes to be in good trim
for the services of tonight and tomor-
row.
In conversation this morning with
HERALD reporter, the latter remarked
/ that the cut appearing in the HERALD
| bad been secured from an eastern pa
per, and Mr. Sankey remarked that
neither he or Mr.. Moody ever furnished
their photographs for publication or
allowed them to be sold at their meet
ings. If anything of this kind were
done, people would be sure to make re-
marks Questioning their sincerity mad
their preaching simply for the love OF
the master. AT the same time if pub
fishers are able to secure photographs
OF the evangelist through no assent
whatever of theirs, as by means of kO-
oaks, why 1t Is something the evange-
lists cannot help, and they cannot BE-

In the course of the conversation.
Mr. Sankey was asked what he thought

out would deny that Christ rose f. ON

The evangelist remar ked that there

surrounding Plymouth, ever since ia
fact Mr.. Beecher departed from the
straight gospel path. God gave Mr.
Beecher one of the grandest minds
ever bestowed upon mortal man. aad in
his earlier ministry, Mr.. Beecher had I
preached the pure and simple gospel
Of salvation. But as people came to
praise him continually he began to lose
lis head, finally flew the track Just ;
ea how his unfortunate experiences
ost him caste, and the trouble they
brought upon him: his life of Christ
topped ere its completion, and a drug
IN the market. L tell you my friend |
hat no man ever lived or ever will
i've who can afford to set himself up |
gainst God or in any way to disr egard
mans dependence on his maker. There
5 no such thing as Independence for
nan with God. No man can tell his
maker, [ will say thus and so to you as I
I suits my convenience. He who Sit {
eth in the heavens shall laugh, the
4Crd shall have him in derision. E
Messrs. Moody and Sankey realize
lilly the necessity of constant humility
'efore God, the ever complete subiec-
ion of the human to the divine will, 5
nd the entire conservation of all to
he service of the master. Hence. the
asting presence of the holy spirit with
hem and their work. No wonder peo-
lie who have never possessed what is
nown asG dliness, stare in astOaish-
lent at the magnitude and lasting in IC
uence of their work, and as the excit-
d inha bitants of Jerusalem exclaimed
n hearing the preaching of the apos- in
es, they too exclaim, How can these h;
lings be?'' in
Mr.. Sankey will be listened to tonight &C
