In explaining tho Christian life, Mr..
Moody said that il was important that God $
will should hr known. For this purpose tho
Bible was given. aud II II person studied the
Bible diligently hes wOuli know the will Of
God. The reason that there is trouble and
sorrow among Christians is due chiefly to
their ignorance Of the Bible. II "A man Is
going to California. he said. he
will study the railway guide to ind
out what train to take, tho cities
through which he will RQs-, etc. Christians
should lo as wise in tlric journey to the
better land. Until IA man was Il believer in
Christ he could not walk with God. The
child must be BORN before he can walk. The
Christian must walk with God. not contrary
to His will. Mr.. Moody said that he waI
often asked 10 write In birthday books and
autograph albums. and he usually wrote
Psalm lXNNiy, IL mo good thing will lie
