SERMON DY THR REV. DR. ANDER3ON, The Hev. Ualusha Anderson preached at the Sceond Baptlst Church yesterday morning from tho following text: Abatain from all appearance of evil.—7. Thessa- toniane, ., 44, To obey his text, he said, was not burdensome to the truee Christian, but fn perfeet harmony with his tastes aud renewed vature, Its prace tieal application, however, was moro or Jess Qiftieuit, i the very naturs of things, for the reweon tuat bellevers and unbellevers were brouzht {u dally contact in the business mart, Iu thelr eoclnl relations, and even about the fomily circle. DButns diffleult as it sometimes was to obey tho text, lo thought there were gome general rules which should govern every Chriatlan's }ife, Firat, no one had aright todo evil that good inight come of It, hence, it would not do to go into the saloon and drink with a Iriend n order to induce him to come tochurch. Souls could not bewon for Chtfst in that way, nor could the Christiun strengthen bis power to resist evil by occaston- all ylelling to temptation, Thio text wus full of meaning and could not be lost sight of nt will, 1t left, however, the great question to muny of *What Is evili” unde- termined. To the speaker’s mind there was no greater and more wide spread an - evil than the populur amusements of the day, 1t was a well- known Chrlstian princlple thiat noone had a Fighit to upliokl sheer worldliness and_godiess- ness, What clse were the theatres but foun- tains of evil, baucof soulst ‘They tookaway u,elmxrlumluy aud crushed the rood out of soclety. No Christian should placo himself fn such a osition as to be clalmed by the worlds hence, here was nio place for bim or her at the card- table, theatee, “or boll-room. A faflure o ob- serve this rule was to deny Christ amd to bear false teatimony. The Chifstlan should be dls- tinet from the worldly jn his associations and habits, otherwise It could besald of him that he had failed to find Joy In the Lord. No Christlan should act contrury to his strongest, purest, and highest (mpulses. The observance of this rule woulid prove the observance of the text. Ho had never seen o recent convert thirating for evily or whose tnind debated the question ot the evil’ of popilur amuscmcots. A Judy In the apeaker’s congrezation son ars ugo lad enlled on bl for splritunt advice, aud had told him that she coulit ubandon everything for Chrlst except the ball-room, She wus subscquently converted, aud a few days liter he called upon her again und usked her |f she was golng to at- tend & ball to be held that evening at a neigh- bor's. 8he replicd that sho conld not—that she had no desfre to, for her Impulses were higher sud (n anather direction. The fourth rule e wonld lay down, capecially for Chiristians, was never todo anything that thelr cansclence condemnced, or that Was i con- filet with thele conviction of right—never lead any one 10 sin. To entice one to tha theatre was to'sin, was to subject them to temptation and ruin, He knew of a Bunday-schoal tescher who took his firas step tn violatimg the text by visite Ing the theatre with a good motive, aind e wis now s moral wreek, mud an outcast on soclety The fifth rale was, uo Chrlstian had o right to do nuything about which he had a doubt or un- cerlaluty a3 to s moral clorscter, This ap- plicd, ho sald, would, itsell, keep them away trom the theatee, fur he did not believe there was o Christian o the land who did not gues- tlon the mnoral julluence of popular sumuse- ments. The, spealier had et tha* class who sald amuseinents were not ull evil, This was true, for with the evit thero had been fnterwoven Just a little that was cood. At the theatre we soine- thnes had oceasion to llsten to chiolce Nterature, and the canl-table, it was sald, sharpened one’s Wits, und the ball-room cultlvated wrace of movement, Admitting all this to be true, the text stood as befure, und these amusenients, perniclous sa they * were, could not be patronized, Al the wood they offered could be found elsewhere in greater abundance, ot unmiged with evil. There was but one theatre i the world, and that fn Lone don. that systematleally prosented the pluys of the best write! t was o starving condl- tloy, while at places where the “ Black Crovk ™ aud “White Swan ' wero played the mausgers were growlny rich from crowded bouacs, As u whold, theatres bad a peralclous fuflu- enes.

But, if any of them came with Jingerlng hopes to yee- terday's mornjng meeting, one look at the great Tabermacle with its em- blems of death overhanging the promises of aternal life which arc {nseribed on its walls, wassuflicient to show that tho only hope of ever scelng or hearing this sweet singer of our Tsrael again was In joining bim on the other shore.

I hare often heard him say, “All Tam I owe to that dear wife.” Now about that charge of his singing for money. The royally on thls little book has amounted to about $80,000, which has been de- voted to chmunle‘)&;xr cs. I once asked Mr. Bliss to tako $5, or himeelf, telling him I thought he meeded {t; bus he would not take one farthing. Chlcago never had o truer man. He will_be approcated hundreds of vears hence. Liko Charles Wesley and Dr, Watis, he was ralsed up to ting In the Charch of God. #God be prascd for such & woman; God be pralsed for such a man!" = Prayer was then offered by tha Rev.

Mr. Moody then appointed two cominittees; tho first to raise money and erect m monument to the memory of the dead, consisting of Messrs. T. W. Harvey, J. V. Faswell, Henry Ficld, aud J. D. Bankey. Mr. Henry Fleld, of Ficld, Lelter & Co., was appointed treusurer of this fund, to whom ali contributions may be addressed. Mr. Moody requested that as thers were so many who would want a share in this work of love, that uone should give moro than a dotlar, A collection waa then taken for that purpose, the only one ever taken in the Tabernacle, ‘The other committee was to draft resolutions and communleate thein to the friends of tho de- ceused. It consists of the Hey. Messrs, Good- win, Dishop Cheney, Dr. Parkliurst, Dr. Everts, and Dr, Petrie, After the chanzes in the appolntments rendered necessary by this sat Providence, and the announcement shat Mr. Stebbins would take the place of Mr. Bliss, the benediction was pro- pounced by the Rev. Mr. Walker. MOODY’S CHURCI. THEZ DEATI OF MR. DLISS, The services at the Chicago Avenue Church sesterday morning were conducted by Messrs, Moody and Sankey., ‘There was not a very Jarge attendance; the maln floor was comfortably fllled, but there were scores of empty seats In the gallery. Mr. Sankey sang several of bhis Gospel solog, onc, *When Jesus Comes,” n favorite of Mr. Bliss, creatiug & profound fm- pression on the audience. The whole service— bymns, prayers, and sermon—had reference to the sad end of Mr. Bllss and the dreadful rail- rond sccident of Friday. Prior to the scrmon Afr. Moody offercd up a fervent prayer for Divine help to sustain them 10 the sad beresvement which had come upon them, May it, exclaimed the evapgellst, be & waruing not ouly to Chicago but to this nation, Many are being swept away into another world, some ready and sonie unready, sotne prepared to meet Theeand others not.” Ohl God grant that it may bea warning to usthat are ready to be faltlful, watchful, and carnest, and inay wi plead with our friends that are ougof theArk. O, that we may have such a passion for souls that wo may not rest unttl wa sec them brought into the fold, Mr, Moody asked that Brotlicr Bliss' £ .ends and relatives mizht be glven strencth to bear this great blow, and also that the friends and relatives of tho other victins might have Divine consolation In their great aflliction. Referringz to the work of the Church, which was built In the hope that Messrs. Moody and Bankey would return and labor in Clifeago through ita meaus, Mr. Mood{ said: It seems as it God is calling us to other tlelds, and I cannot help belleving that If our Christlan friends will Juak come together and pray earncstly to Gody that the work will go on juat as well without us as It would If wo were here, Bome people get discouraged and think the work wil) not go on because wo are not coming back. ‘That {s not tho fact. Bear In mind that God is wlilling to Jabor through any one in_the church who will consecrate himself to His cause, I eannot help belleving but that the best days of this church are in its future, and not, as ¥otne think, in its past. Thinkimz of workers, Mr. Moody badhls thouglits drawn to Mr, Bliss, concernlng whom he suld: Why he was so dear to all of us, and why we Joved him so much, was becauss he was always chiecrful. Younever saw him discouraged or cast down, He was all the while slnging about gladuess. “Iam so lad ** was tho koy-note of “all hiu songs. How lessed it would be if cvery man and woman were full of the joy of the Lord, because that is our strength. After Mr, S8ankey bad sung, “Oh to be over yonder,’? Mr, Moody procecded with his ser- inon. 1le sald: Thix belug the Inat day of the year, I had been looking forward to it as one of tho uiost soleinn days of the year, and I had prepared somo thoughts to bring out on this wccasion, But Nttle did 1 think it was golng to be assolemn aa it fs.

The texttbat owccurred to me u the twenty-fourth chapter of Matthew and the forty-fourth verse: % There- fore be yo also ready.' Death, Mr. Moody went on to say, often took us by surprise, but' it did not find Mr, Bliss unprepared, “That gentleman and his wife had been rl{xenlng for ncaven for Jeama, and ho (Mr. M) had been thinking of that amily before the throne thismoming singing the sweetest song they had ever nun&;. ‘hey shuuld protit by this awful calamity, tfod was™ coinin) very near this city; there was never before such an Inquiring after God as thers was now; and this last stioke of Providenca aught to be & warning to every ono to get In readincss tomeet the Lord.

There were few dry eyes in the cangregation when Mr, Aloody Tesumed his svat. Upwards of sixty persons, feeling the need of Christ, rosa one by vneto usk that they iuight be prayed for. Mr. sfoody offered up ‘an car- nest prayer fo thelr bebalf, and the congregs- tion was shortly afterwards diamissed with the benediction. AFTERNOON SERVICES. Ouly a little over comfortably fllcd was the ‘Taberuacle in the afternoon, but those who were there wore more of funures! aspect than so ap- pearance of thankfulness for blesslugs confer- red.
