THE NIGHT SERVICE.
Hundreds were turned away from
the church last night, unable to gain
Ambulance, and long before the hour
set for the service there was not a va
can't seat to be found. JUST before his
sermon begun, Mr.. Moody gave out
hymn 10Y:
Come, thou Almighty King,
Eelp us thy name to sing,
Belp us to praise.
Father, all glorious,
Ger all victorious
Come and reign over us
Ancient of Days"
Eye shall receive power after the
spirit of the Holy Ghost has come upon
you"
With that text Mr.. Moody preached
6n line with his sermon of the afternoon,
The theological student Thinks he

God, but it takes something besides in
Iellectual power; it takes the power Of
the Holy Ghost to be succesSful; it is
supernatural. influence is one thing,
power IS another. Nicodemus had in

air is gone, and something has taken

who want to use religion as a frees

drunkards' graves every twenty-four
