Moody's Talk at the Noon Prayere Meeting. Mecting of tho Ciiicago Preshytery—Ros- olutions Against Polygamy. The Methodists and Their Missfonary Oon- tributions—Baptist Miristers. MOODY AT THE NOON MEETING. The noon-day prayer-meeting in Farwet! Hall yesterday, was attended by a vost multitude of Peoply, tha annatiiicement that tho services would be conducted by Moody and Sunkey hav- ing proved sulliciently attractive to fil tho hall to overtowing. Upon the platform tho great revivalist and bis molodious collntyue were eup- ported by nm largo representntion from tho various churches tm tho city, nearly overy denomination which counts n congregation hnv- ing Its minister or tmintstors, or prominent iay- men prosant. ‘The oxercises opened with the alnglvg by tho conuregation, Mr. Sankey leading, of the hymn, “2'm 4 Piigrim,” after which Br, Moody mate a brief prnyer, in which he asked espectal- Jy that the Christian people inieht not waver In tho fwith, Wut that thoy intyht by thelr cone sistont dally ilfe proven bright ght in thie duck city. Mr. ‘Bunkey sang.“My Ain Countree,” after whieh Mr. Moody proceeded to ‘an exposition of tho fourth chapter of John's Goncral Eplstie, Afice a Cew opening remarks upon the curlicr voraosof the chapter, showing that Christ ts Breater than tho world, the preacher was {oter- rupted by the continuous stream of now arrivals who bad been collected In the pageuges during tho prayer, und during a. suspension of Sir. Moody's romurka Mr, Sankoy aonouncud "Gates Ajar,”" which was suog with great spirit by the congregation. % Resuming, dir. Moody snid that all powor is aiven to Jesusin Heaven and vu earth. . Life ts aconthut nnd wartnrc, and the suoger this is found out thn better, He Loaner when he first hecaie- ‘a Christian that the whole work was dovo, ;but ho found out afterwaris that satention is ou gift and. the oul rewind is the result of a further Oght. As dob said, Obristians wilt only get to Heaven by the akin of thelr tueth, Jt was folly for any man & attempt to fight the world with his own Btrenath, but Gad would help them wheoover ‘He ens callad upon. ‘So love the Unlovablo was # lesson to be learned by those who sought to love the goud, it wus easy to love what one likes, but the other spirit cume direct from God, and won only at- tained it when they were born of Him. ‘The first Hapulso of a Foung contort ought to be Jove. Very often they began by abusing the vhurehes. © The preacher met « man fy Donver who tad just been converted, and whose first words to the preacher were, You don't know how corrupt the churches arc bore.” He ev- idently did not havo tha riht spirit. ir. Moody, ufter reading from the ninth to the fifteenth verses of the chapter, inclusive, suid that there wero four words which tained to which ho would call attention. Tho first was love, without which we could not be n Christin, -£C one joined forty churches yet lie - could not be a Christiun without the ‘loving ‘spirit of Christ. The great Inek of tho Christinn was love, und wherever a church possessed this divine attribute tt bad power also. A great inns people thought that if thoy could work thomecives {nton good state of feciing it was al right, God along was tho author. of all life, spiritual tfcincluded, not the cold formalism which many relied dn. As ‘t was said In the next chupter ofdoho, “Ho that bath the Son path life, and be that hath not the Son hath no ‘Tho next thing after love and life was peace. This came of propitintion, that {s, sin put away. Af any man or woman in tho audience wus cor- erlagupasin thero wus for them no pence. Tho wicked were fike n sea which, though nl wWity's moving, scomed to be quiet. People had their secret, Sarling sins whioh they teld on to, ane whilo they did this God could not bless em... And thon came confession. If thoy confessed their slg God wag {uithful and Juut to forgive thom, le deaired nothing more than tu blot out. tho sins of tho ynst congregation present. ‘There wore three ways in which to confess sin, In tho frst place al! sin ought to ba confessed to od, There were othor sins which ought ta be confessed publicly, namely, those which nad heen publicly cominitted. And aguln where ono sinnod ngutnst a private person the sin ought to be confessed tobi, As longas David covered bissins bo had no pence, but when he had cun-. | fessed them he found It. Bpirlt—the kind mentioned {in the chaptor— was power, and what did ail Christendom noed to-duy Mure than spiritual power? «The human: heart was ton hard to be reached by the intel- Jeutual powor, which cums from tho heart of inun. It needed something from the heart of Bvery Christian, tho preacher sald, hada pitt. ‘There waa not u chili of God who didnot bave one. If onc of thom desired to work far God ho would tind as many talents nt bis disposal na ho could take cure of, Some of them eonduded that thoy bad nota gift, while the. truth wus that they had not the Spirit. ‘Talents were given Ww bo used, and If one had only balf a talout and omployod it, God will soon double up tho sift. In tho springtime the ery went up that the cum- tog hot summer weathor was going to Interforo with work, but this was a tnistake. ‘Thero was no uso for wilting until next fall before ine nugurating & viruroua work, God's Church ougut to in @ revived atate 305 days tu tho year, 3 In tho seventeonth vorso the necessity of bold- neas a3 0 Christin attribute was dwelt upon, No one was tit for God's work who was not bold, Gad told Joba to be of gond courage, aud when that lender was confronted by the inun with tho drawn sword be acted boldly, Onder many uircuinstances many Chrisiuns would bave run for dear life, Some Carletiaus are afraid to speak in pa mooting because of thelr bad grammar, but this was a inistake, Conrage would enible one to employ bis talonta to advantage.
