A Large Audience at the Evening Meeling in the Tabernacle. Christ’s Mission-==To Preach Deliverance to the Captlves of Sin. NOON-DAY MEETING. FARWELL TALL. ‘Thero were fifty requests for prayer yester- day, mostly by parenis and otlier relatives, for members of thefr famillcs. These requests wera from many of the Western and Northe western States, and were wortly for friends now in Clhiengo. Praycr was nlso asked for Janesville, Wis,, and for Kvanston., I, be- causo of the hundreds of students therg. A commercial traveler requested prayera for him- gelf and the 60,000 men in this Jine of business, Prayer was then offercd by the Rev. Dr. Good- speed, THE ADDRESS. Yeeterday, said Mr. Moody, our subject tas the " Bread of Lifo;" to-day it is the “ Water of Life.” 1 will begin at tho thirty-seventh verse of this scventh chapter of John *1In the 1ast day, thot great day of the fenst, Jesus stood and cried, saying: 1f any thirst, lot him come unto Me aud drink." i It gcems Jesus came up to this feast alone, and after 1o had finished Histeachings He went away alone to tho Mount of Olives. There are thiree sad things mentioned in this chapter, which [ suppose made Him want to be alone. 1n the fiest place, §t 18 sald He couldn’t walk In Judea any more. Ie healed 2 man on the 8ab- bath day. aud told him to take uplis bed and walk, On this account, the Scribes and Phari- Ages \were very nngri\vmu Him, and. were look- ing for n chance to kil Mim, and get Mim out of the way. You sce, my_frionds, that pcople may be very religious, and at the snme tine bo guilty of very terrible sins nf:uhul God. ‘The Scribes und “Pharlsces wero full of religion of thelr own particular sort all this time while they were trying to kill the Son of God, Another thing that grioved Him was that Hls brethren didn't belleve on Him, and still anoth- er trouble way, that some of the Iruonln accused I1im of belng posscssed of a devil. I suppose it was on account of these things that Josus wanted to he alone, aml so ho sent His disciples on before Him to the feast, which was one of those thnt only the men attended, and then perhiaps after nunlflng over night fn Bethan, at the houss of His good friend Lazarus, He came into the city, which was greatly exclted about Him, wulkcd stralght up to the temnple, and on the third or fourth day commenced to teach thie people. The men were talking about Utm in little groups on the corncrs, just as the oliticlans are now talking about the election. ome of them belloved on Him, others de- nounced Him, and the whole city was divided into two parllel. one for and the other ngafnst m. 1t woB n the last great day of the feast that Jesus spoke the words I huve read—*If any man thirst, let him come unto Me and drink.” 1 have been very much interested this morning fn running through ny Blble to find this ex- pression 50 many times repeated: “ If any man, ete If unywan hear My volee and open the door 1 will come in and sup with him. * If any mon lack wisdom, let him nskof God and ft shall be given him, That Is n good text for your business men who are greatly embarrassed anddon't know how to make both ends mect. God {s rich, and what you waat to do Is to com- mit your business and all your affalrs to Him, and "He will show you a way out of your busluess troubles. “If any man surve Me Jet him follow Me A great muny people profess to serve Cliriat, but do not follow either His precepts or exam- ple. They are selilsh, worldly, “flffl"'l-i:“"i et. them vonfess their sins, and come back to Christ. If any mau be n worshiper of God, im Ho heareth, A lady said to me In the lnqulr{-mum the other night: “The heavens secm to be brasa over my head.” The trouble was, tho hado’t been n woruh(p‘mr of God. ‘If any man do 1Liis will, ho shall know tho doctrine.” The reason why men dow’t know God’s will, Is becauso they don't do ft, “If any man will come_ after Me, Jet him toke up s cross and follow Me.” Now, all these passures of Scripturs seem to settle the question that God s not partlal. Just scc how broad sl these Invitations arc; they are universal Invitutions, and they follow ua everywhere, through all the nges, just us the stream that poured out of the rock in the wilderncss followed all the wanderings of the children of Israel. What would you say of an able-bodied man who was (ly1n§ of thirst ;‘1,:1:; down by the shore of Lake Michigan ¥ This Water of Life is plentiful and free. When Israel was in- the wilderness, God rained down bread of Heaven upon them, Just su 1o rains down tho bread and the Waters of Life in the reach of every soul fo Farwell iall to-day, aud if nn{ of you &mrlsh finally, don't rise up in the judgment and say yon were never invited to come to the Gospel feast, for you have been fnvited here to-day. DRt. GINSON snid: Wa feel very happv over the freedom of these Invitations of the Gospel, yet once in a while something comes up to discourage us » Iittle. For {nstance, this text says, **If an; mun thiests,” It I8 necdful, thercfore, I.lm{ the man should ‘*“thirst" bhefore ha can consider himeelf Invited to take of thu “Water of Life.” Now I suppose everybody ia thirsty for something,—they don't just kuow what it {s,—but when t| m[‘; coma to understand themselves thoroughly, they will find out they are thirsting for the living Ged. And, my fricnds, I have no doubt thers {a o pgreater number of people thirsting than we have any Iidea of; they dow't glve nny outward sign of it but they would be very glad to get a driught of the “ Water of Life." "I was talking witha woman the other day about spiritual things, and she says to me, “1 have a sister who hus been o mesiber of the chureh for ten years, and sho never hna spoken a word to me about my soul, 8She knows 1 am not saved, and i€ she has got something that shic thinks 1 ought to have, why don't she come to moand tell me about it4? So you see that sister’s silence all those ten years, during which ehe had been o member of “the church, was o ereat stumbling- bluck In theother’s way. Now perhaps some of you are thinking what a thne thing §t would be, I vou could find out thase people who are thirsting for the * Water of Life.” “Well, that {sn't a very hard thing to do. Suppose you ure in a rullWay car, and the boy comea along with the water-can, you can tell all the thiraty men right awny,—as quick us the water comes within thelr reacl, the stretel out thelr hands to take it. And 80, (l you want to find ont who there 8 nbout you that is thirating for the * Water of Life,” just carry it ubout und offer it to them, and you will be surprised to ses how muny people will reach out thefr hands apd tuke it Brother Jacobs rose to polnt out how aston- fshing it was that so muny peopls could be watered out of one small cup, He had proposed the question to a Sundusy-school, and one bright little fellow_answered, “** You must keep a dip- pery air" Prayer was then offered by the Rev, My, Erdman, . DR, MITCHELL sald: There {8 one cluss of persons, for whoso eakic I um very thankiul fr this clnss of texts. 1118 those who think they have committed the unpardonable eln, I kuow some such people, and 1 pity them from the bottom of my heart, Whoure the victims of this sad delusion.

Ir, Bnuku( then sung the hvinn entitled " Whosceyer Will," and after brief remarks by the Rev. Mesars, Adums and Spencer, to the efleet that the fountalu was always full of water for whoever would come to it, Mr, Moody closed with this fnctdent from the old homg- stead, references to which he frequently briogs o with pleasing efleet : “There ure twowells on the old farm at Northficld. One summer morning I got up early, and feeling thirsty, I went to the pumnpto et soince water, but there didu’t seem to be sny n the well. Then I tried the other pump, aud ftwas as dryas the first, Protty soon one of iny brotlors camo along, and I eaid to himn: 41 thought you told me these wells , never ron dry.! o ol L nave been try 1 4 Well, 1 have been trylug eversolongto got adriuk of water, and thero lsn’t any hurg" » 40b, said he, | can tell you what {s the mat- ter: there 1 plenty of water in the well, but the trouble is {n the pump, o ‘Then he went and brought a pall of water, and poured it into the old pump, and after that © waa plenty of water, [Laughter,] Now that is just tho way with some of you.

In giving out the notlce of the temperance meeting to-day, Mr, Moody sald, “Gud bas given tne a hundred times more falth for tho conversion of Wrunk- ards than Ihad a year ago,” and it Is a remark. nble foct that & large proportion of the 100 to 150 inquirers every day arc of this clasa of per- BONA. ‘The Beripture readings were from the 126th Paalm, the 5 Oth chapter of Isalah, and the 2d chapter of Anos, THE EERNON We will go on with the same text that we have had for tho'last few evenlngs, Luke, iv,) 18,aml take tho third clause uftheverse, ** 'Fhie Splvit of the Lord {8 upou ine beeauss he' hath appointed me « .+ . o o to preach deliyerance to the captives.” In the 40th chapter of Isalnh, b the 24th verse, are these words: * Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the Jawful captive delivercd ! ‘Tho Lord Jesus Christ snys, ** Yes, 1 am como for that very purpose.” Now, my fricnds, just ask yourselves the question whether a sinner can forgive himsclf or a convicted criminal save himself from the penalty of the law he has broken. If hefs tobe dellvered at all, there must be a deliverers for he eannot deltyver hun- sclfy and this text tells us who the dellverer is; Jesus Christ,the S8onof God. Suppose I were to tell you that there was no way for you to cs- cape from the perdition of upgodly men; that cterunl death was certainly waiting for you; and that nothing could possibly suve youi from it, you would all reject such " doctrine. Even the thicves and pamblers who have atrayed {n liere to-night woulll reject such terrible doctrine aa that, “Mr. George H. Stuart told mo that he was once asked by Gov. Curtln, of Pennsylvaniy, to go and tell a‘inan who had been condembed to die for murder that there was no hope of his belng pardoned. When he went Into the cell, the wretched man eald to him: “You are & goon man, You have come to bring mo good news.” Aund when he learned that muungfc the Governor had sent. he falnted away, It<is an awful thing to have the last hope taken away., But, thanks be to God, there {s hopo for the blackest-hearted sin- ner in the love and men‘i‘ of Jesus Chrlst, Youare a lawful captive; vou arc undor iust condemnation for your sins. Resd the Bible carefully and vou ‘will find that it talks alto- gether different ahout humun naturo from what some of our modern ministers do. The Devil has all the while been preaching up the great- 1ness of man, and some men in our pulpits ure doing the same thinz. Satan has been busy _for 1,800 years blnding men In his " chains and_making captives of them, and Christ says fe lns come to sut the captives {ree. Satun gocs about his work very slily, Mo winds around us a golden splder's web, which we could blow uway with a hreath; then he binds ug with a threail; but wo say, *Oh that §s nothing; I ean break that any time,” But he roes on winding Nis threads around us, and they get larger and stronger all the time, 1l at last ho has bound us hand and foot, an then he mocks our helpless sorrow and our vain struegles to get away, But the Sun of God has rcwcr on earth to brenk every band and fetter, o deliver every captive, and to let tho op- pressed po free. But the first thlng’ for us to understand is the fact that we are really eaptives. Do any of you doubt It . Let mo just nsk youn quistion or two. How munny times have you thought over {uur slns and maode up your mind to forsuke hem? Perhaps you bave been in the habiy of swearlng, and have resolved to stop, And how have you succeeded? Didn't you find the samie old oaths and curses jumplng out every timo you got tnnd! Didu't you find that the old hablt was too strong for you? Al, my fricnd, that shows that Satan has cantured i-nu and bound you in that terrible habit of blas- pheming, and you will never be ablo to get free without tho help of Christ the Delivercr. But supposs you can break off all your sins—what about tho sins of the past? What aro you go- ing to do with them§ Dl tell you what to do with them,—brin them to Christ. Do you want to stop swearing| Corme to Christ oud ask Him to give you nunew heart; a hoart that hasn't any curses fn it, and then you will be free from “that chain of the devil.: You have n ?]ulnk temper; well, bring it to Christ and He will give you anew temper., Just give up all hopoof belne able to save your- selfy and led the Lord dellver you. Just let the cry goup, “Iam o captive,” and seo how quick dJesus Chrlst wiil come to vour deliverance. I remember heariug of alittio fellow whowas met on his way home from school by o great, rufllanly boy, i zood deal bigger than he’ was, who tried to pick n q]unm.-l with bim, “Iean't fight you," eald the little boy, “hut you {uul wait i1} 1 go and fetcl mfi bl brother," and Lo ran off 08 hard us e coull to find his bie broth. er, but when they came back the cownnd wasn't there. So, my friends, we arc no match for Sa- tan, and when be proposes to flght us wo must appeal to our Elder Drother, who s more’ than o match for all the devils In hell, Society is divided info n great many different classes, but (iod only kuows'two classes, The Cross of Calvary divided the world 1800 years azo, and there are only these two classes—those who are under the power of Sntan and those who are under the grace of dJesus Christ, Who s your master? Ilave you never been delivered “trom the power of that slavery into which you wero [‘:orni ‘Then change masters here to-night. Satan will hold” you tighter and tizhter. o don't carg at all with what sort of chalns he bind syou, 80 that you are bound, or In what sort of a charlot you ride to rufn. He s just as willing you should go down to hell from u soft-cushe oned pew {n ono of these fine chnrches as any other Way, o as only he can get you. But If only you'will choose "to be on thé Lord's sida to-night, m‘z matter hflw d(asul tsnmnlluu hmllllll you, just give yourself to God to-night, and He wil “tuke you by Hls rivht l'lmuxl, amd lead you “right " pust uany saloon or Diltjard” hall, or any other place of fulquity, without your having the slightest wish to euter for tho old-time pleasure und the old- timo aln.

Drs Moixxs, In., Nov, 1,—~The State Bupreme Court ins just made a deelslon which will be of ntereat to all towns and citfes through which raflronds pass. In 1872 tho Leglainture passed a law providing that rallroad companics should mako return to tho State Executive Councll of the Jengthof rond and valuo of all raitrond- property, together with the gross carnings of each road and its branches. On this report the Exccutive Counell were to fin tho nssessment for taxatfon, and rcmit to each county the amount and valuo of such property {u such county, The County Supervisors were required to apportfon this tax to each town nnd city through which the rond pasred, ne- vording to the value thercof,—the property to be taxed at the samu rates as other property, The Clty of Dubuque, by advice of counacl, tlaimed Llat this I was unconstitutlonal, and fn con- traventlon of Art. 8, Sce. &, of the Constitutlon, which says that the pro‘[:erty of coporations for apeculative profit sball b taxed the same ns Individuals; and levied a tax apatnst the Chlcago, Clinton & Dubugue, aud the Clinton, Dubuque & Minnesota Rallroads; without regard totheact of 1672 The railroad” companies clnimed the uascsament Lo be vold and fllegal, An agreed case was taken to the Supreme Conrt, where it was decided that the law of 1873 was not uncon- stitutional; that it was simply direetorys aud, by reason of the pecullar naturs of rallronds property, was intended to point out the method uf ascertalning the value of this kind of prop- crty, and not to exempt 1t from the burdens of taxation, any mure than the property of fudl- viduals, IMPORTANT RATLIOAD LITIOATION, Anlmportaot case 1s before the United States Cireult Court, which will soon be _arguied befors the full Beneh, It is tho Union Natfonal Bank of Chicago against certafu members of the Iowsn & Missourl Raillroad Construction Company,— an action of debt.

It has been told that in Tennesseo was a mill-wheel bullt beyond fhe memory of the mon who lived in 18403 that tho mill was zone, and all but the wheel and framework support- ingit; that the wheel still revolved, and the srray from it preserved fts supports, and when tinally it was removed the surfuce nnd cdge of its buckets were found to be coal,—antbracito coal. From this it has been orgued that all anthracite coal I8 formed from oaks all anthra- cita conl {8 from wood; nll anthracite coal is formed by the attritlon of water, Bowme of the lignite coals evidence that they are slichtly removed from peat and vegetabla formation}; some show even the formatlon of roots, branclies, tree-trunks, or even leaves, but these conls are rare; most coals sliow crystals, complete crystaline formatlons; marked as per- lccl\xv us fn Galeua ores and quartz, Now, trep- trunks petrify from crys but they do not lose thelr form; precipltates from solutions, frequently from crystuls, cte., so that that don's of itsolf show tho origin, In our common coals, mined by milllons of tons, anthracite, bituminous, semi-bituninous, and so onj Lehl'zh.
