woman. There is enthusiasm and ex-
 citement in the saloons and they l succeed The soldier that accomp-
 fishes the most is the one that has the
 most enthusiasm, and we need more of l it in our churches. Gods word tells us l that one shall chase a thousand and two shall put ten thousand to flight, but so luke-warm have we grown that it takes a thousand to chase one. Paul
 was an enthusiastic worker and I think he would weigh as heavy as all
 of us put together. Again we need perseverance. I admire Grants deter
 imitation when he said, We'll fight it
 out on this line if it takes all sum
 mer I admire the four men who brought the palsied man to Christ. Doubtless they had known His bless ings and they were anxious to share
 their joys with another Undaunted
 by their failure to get the man 10 the Master through the door, they climbed
 the stairs to the top of the house, lifted
 a portion of the roof and let their
 friend down through the opening 70
 where Jesus was, and did He frown
 upon them? No, when He saw their
 faith He healed the sicE man and sent him home rejoicing. If you can't
 bring. a man to Christ by the ordinary methods initiate the example of these
 men. The modern way is to erect a church, build a pipe organ in it, hire minister and invite sinners to come, but you will have to resort to other means, for there f,-e thousands who never see the inside of a church. Start four men in Phoenix after an unsaved one, and see what the result will be. Perseverance will tell in the end. I once knew a man who had been a SiY bo to me and said: MT. Moody, I'm going to give up being a Christian Upon inquiry I found that q deacon had thrown a bucket of cold water upon him and that had so drowned his per severance that he decided to give up. How many are there in Phoenix who give up the Christian life because a little cold water has been thrown upon them?
 There is one other requisite I wans to speak of, and that is human sym pathy. The world needs that It is beautifully portrayed in the parable of the Good Samaritan. I would advise the emphatic reading of that parable at least once month in every church. In your beautiful city you have excel lent opportunities Of initiating the Good Samaritan. There are so many strangers within your gates who are out Of health, perhaps friendless, and frequently penniless. Give them a, ride in your carriages sometime while you walk. That is the kind of a Chris tianity I Iike-One you can see, one that has legs and hands and goes about doing good.
 ''The best way to get desire to show human sympathy is to put your self in the others place and there will be no lack of sympathy. Practice the golden rule"
 MT. Moody closed his address with story of his own boyhoOd life, telling of the first time he left home, and how much appreciated was a little kindly sympathy shown him by an elderly gentleman, twho has long since passed to his rest, but whose remembrance is stamped upon the man whom he once befriended.
 Mr. Moody announced that at the this afternoon he will give the second talk On the holy spirit, and the invitation to all to be present.
 On Wednesday and following even ings mems after meetings will be held in the Presbyterian church, to be con ducted by MT Moody's son, who, with his wife, will reach Phoenix Wednes- day. Mrs. Moody will sing at the meetings. All men are most cor lially invited to these after meetings.
