Rev. Dwight l.. Moody began his sec
 ond weeks work in this city yesterday
 afternoon at O'Neill hall The usual
 song service began at o'clock and continued until 23O, during which time
 the hall filled rapidly, and when MT.
 Moody rose to speak every chair was occupied. An especially pleasing feat-
 ure of the song service was the sing ing of the sole, .sMy Trundle Bed" by Professor D. B. Towner.
 MT. Moody prefaced his remarks by asking those who had been coming during the past week and had been benefited to raise a hand. Hundreds of
 hands went up and MT. Moody said:
 Now I'm going to let you prove that
 tonight by giving a thank offering to
 be used in buying literature for our prisoners
 He then spoke somewhat at length of his work among the jails and pris- ons of our country. He said in brief: The great demand is for reading mat ter of any kind. 1 had supposed they wouldn't care for anything but a dime novel, which was probably the cause of bringing them there, but found that they were eager for Spurgeon's sermons and other valuable books.
 When it became known that 1 was supplying the prisons with reading matter, liberal contributions of books and magazines poured in from all sides, until I had an ample supply. I consider the jails and prisons a hope ful field of labor. The inmates are cut lcOse from their old haunts of vice and former associates in sin that would naturally drag them down, and they have a chance to think. and are more
 5o,, II i,a the gospel. I hope tonight you will make a liberal contribution to buy lit- erature for these people,
 The text for the afternoon was Gala tians 6:7: Be not deceived: God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man sOweth, that shall he also reap" MT. Moody began dis sermon by saying: ''I like to get a text that sweeps every body in-minister, choir, people, saint and sinner-and this one does it. The eternal decree is that man must reap as he sows. 1 was preaching in an eastern town and the newspapers came out one morning and said MT Moody is an old fogy; he's preaching a gos- pei that's over thirty years old; it is not new No, the gospel I preach is not new; it is an old gospel, nearly 5000 years old. This text was true in Adams time. He reaped as he sOwed Another time I announced this text and a man in the audience stood up an said: I don't believe it. At the close of the meeting an officer ar retsed him for some crime. He was tried, found guilty and sent to prison for twelve years. Then he had a chance to decide whether the text was true or not, and see if he wasn't reap ing as he had sown. Don't look round tn 7hn G,5 L,i you, every one of you, preacher, priest, choir, sinner and all. Don't be de- ceived It is the easiest thing in the world to be deceived and it is an easy thing to deceive. You deceive your self. You say you'll not do something, and the first thing you know you are at it. But, my friends, God never has { deceived any one, and God cant be de- ! ceived. You may deceive your wife !! or your mother, or yi5ur best friend, i but you can't deceive God.
 SOWING AND REAPING.
 ''Now I come to the question of sew ing and reaping and I want to divide | it into four heads, or, rather, hooks that will fasten themselves into your brains and hearts. FirS-, every one expects to reap, when he sows; second, every one expects to reap the same as the seed he sows; third, every one expects to reap more than he sows, and fourth, ignorance of the kind Of seed makes no difference. When a man sows he expects to reap; he would not sow if he didn't. He sows ill hope But hat point is so plain I m going to pass 1n. He expects to Ceap the same kind 0f seed he sows. Suppose I tell you hat last year I sowed ten acres Of wheat and reaped a crop of watermel- )ns, or l sowed field of barley and. -eaped a crop of potatoes? You wouldn't believe it. If a man plants onions, he reaps onions; if he learns he carpenters trade, he doesn't prac- ice medicine, or if he wants to be awyer he doesn't study engineering Now the same thing is true in the ipiritua world. Suppose this boy Town here is mine and I see MT. Hill oming, and I say, James, you go to he door and tell MT. Hill I'm not qt lome.' I've taught my boy to tell a ie and it won be very long until he eils> me one I've sowed lie and I'iI cap one. If your child tells you a lie l ust lock round and see where it comes rom. : 1.-Two boys had been shut up by their
