Years ago. so6 while yet Albert
Barnes was living, I p:each7d N his
pulpit one night to the young men OF
Pkiiadelphia. In the opening Of my
discourse ssid, 0 Lord, give ne one
soul tonight Al the close Of the
service Mr.. Barnes Introduced you2g
man, saying, 18th is the young maa
you prayed for But I see now it Ess
. too limited prayer. I ofsr 10 such
prayer today. Il must take IN wider
sweep. Lord, givs us al these souls
today for hspplness and heaven!
So far IS God may help me | propose
to show Whist sre she obstacles to your
return and then hoR you are 10 suEnount
those obstacles. The first di&cuiey II
the way Of your return is tbs forca o.
moral gEavilatioa. Just SIS tne2e IS a
natural laH which brings down to escsh
anything you tnzoT IN % the air, 90 there
is corresponding moral gravlts5ioH. l
never shall forgcEs prayer hesrd a
young man MAKE in the Young Nen's
Christian Association Of NeE Yo1k
With trembling veice aid Stresning
eyes he said: % God, thon kHowsss
how easy it is for ms to 90 WroRg sna
hos hard il is for ne 70 CO right! God
help mel Thai nan knows not his
own heart who has never felt the po~er
Of moral grav.tasion.
In your boyhood you had good ascot
stes and bad sssoojs.es. Which most
impressed you? Daring the last few
years you have heard purs snec2o:es
and impure anecdotes. Which the
easiest stuck to your nsmocy? You
have had good habits and bad hsbiss.
To which did your soul more easily
yield2 But that neral gravi:ssion may
be resisted. just as you msy pick up
anything from the earth sDd hold 1t IN
your hand toward heaven, Just SO, bg
the power Of Gods grace, fallen soul
may be lifted toRaro peace, 20 =ara rsc
don, toward sslvs.ion. EAe force OF
moral gr&7l. ION is il every cne CT US,
but also pc o. n Gods grace 90 o7sr

The nexs thing in the Esy Of your
return is the power Of evil haoi5. I
know there are those who say ii l5 vary
