ON WAITING FOR MOODY AND sANKEY-sERMoN


by REV. T. DE WITT TAIaAaE.


The Brooklyn Tabernacle was crowded to its utmost
capacity yesterday morning by audience eager to
hear the Rev. Mr. Tamage express himself upon the
work OF Messrs. Moody and sankey. After making q
few remarks TO his congregation the reverend gentle
took his text from Acts, ii, and 2:-"And when
the day Of Pentecost fully they all with
one accord in one place" And should all men be
We all created by God, and all must serve
God If would be saved The Christ that died for
died for all we should all be in accord with
another in our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ The
world said the mnister has been waiting long time
for Moody and Sankey, and, thank God they have
como at last These men are wanted, and it
takes such to redeem souls Look
at the great work they have accomplished
in Europe. They there almost unknown; but, by
firm faith in God and true belief in the power Of
prayer they have accomplished more than any two
men the world ever produced have accomplished. 1t
almost miraculous when one ponders ON the
great good these God-loving God!fearing have
done-the number of souls they have saved, and the
number 10 whom they have shown the right path
Their good work however, does not stop here IL Is
simply the number that true professors OF
Chrsts religion, but il Is the number that through
their past efforts and the efforts they Will yet make,
with the blessing OF God upon their work, that Will be





that eternal rest that Christ has promised TO all who be-
lieye Ia Him and seek HIS father's mansion in His
1t a beautiful promise that Jesus had made
TO men-that when He knocked If they would open the
door Him that He would In and sup with them,
aud that If they would Him He would surely save
them He has SAID that in - iathers house are
many mansions, and Moody and Sankcy have surely
pointed the way for all sinners 10 Ind the door 10
those mansions. Their work is the direct interpos


ton Of God. He sent them to do the good work they
have done and the good work they Will yet do. The
world has waited long time for Moody and Sankey;
httff fIa ng huV al last
coming they have brought salvation to millions OF sin
ners who have lived in darkness. They have opened
the eyes OF thousands the deep blue the
fact that great God ruled the world and all contained
and that He would hold responsible for the deeds done
the flesh. Moody and Sankey have preached Christ
crucihed and they have preached it with such iorce
that the world feels the influence and power OF their
efforts and the power of that great God in whom they
trust and upon whom they rely for strength to carry
out their mission. That mission Will not end
with Moody and Sankey while the
world lasts AS in the OF nature
all must die, Moody and Sankey must return TO
dust but their words will live while life lasts and their
their great revival but by the children and the grand
children and the great grandchildren of the parti
cipators those glorious movements for the saving of
human souls. The words OF Moody and Sankey the
oriamme OF Christ's gospel in this country and under
that banner sinner shall fall lighting Trust in God
and follow in the steps of the good who have gone
before. No afford to risk his soul; risk every
thing, but preserve that Take not O chance in
the rskng Of those precious souls that God gave
the end that would some day return them to Him.
He expects US to return them, and when he saw how
weak He gave His only begoten SON up death,
that through hrm faith and reliance in His precious
blood the world might be saved 1t is fearful thing
fall the hands OF the living Cod and let
say, Lord the work thou gavest to do have tried
faithfully to do"
