MR. MOODY'S APPEAL 10 SINNERS |The Cry Must Be an Honest and Sincere One. SOME STRIKING EXAMPLES ———-—_———_ “Whosoever calleth, whosoever calleth, Whosoever calleth on His name shall be saved.” This was the refrain that was sung again at the Moody meeting. It was a hymn that Was sung at the preliminary meeting, the half-hour’s service that precedes the regu- lar meeting of the evening. The choir sang | a verse or two, but this did not satisfy Mr. | Moody. “Let everybody join in the chorus, every- | body,” said Mr. Moody, and there was a burst of song that was far more to his lik- ing. “Don’t make the choir do all the sing- | ing. Sing it again,” and again that vast | concourse of people sang the hymn of hope | and promise that whoever but calls upon the name of the Lord shall receive salva- tion. ‘Now let all the men in the hall sing this chorus, and let all the women keep quiet. I want to hear only men’s voices,” and there was a heavy sound that showed, at least, that there were no female voices in it. Then the refrain was taken up by the women alone. “Now let everybody sing, including the reporters,” said the great revivalist. This in a way shows Mr. Moody's methods. He wants everyone to take a part in the ser- vices. He likes to sink his own personality as far as possible and make the meetings truly people’s meetings. The Interest Increases. And it was indeed a meeting of people last evening, equaled cnly by the gather- ings that have preceded it. Long before o'clock there was a crowd in Convention Hall that filled every seat in this vast au- ditorium and left a triple row of people | standing in the rear of the hall. It was one of the most enthusiastic meetings yet held and as the time draws near for the series to come to a close more interest is being taken | than in the beginning, if such a thing is possible. On the platform, back of Mr. Moody, were seated a number of prominent people, represenung many different denom. inations. Among Uese were the Secretary of War and Mrs. Lamont, who arrived at the hail before 7 »’clock and remained as interested participants in the services until the close. On the floor of the hall and oc- cupying seats well up forward was that interesting little band of Esquimaux are now im the city. curious spectacle, clad as they were in their heavy suits of fur, but to ail outward ap- pearances they were as earnest worship- ers as any of the thousands of others around them. They rose for the hymas, bowed during the prayers and in every way — themseives as full-fledged Chris- jans. One of the most interesting features of the evening was the singing of the good old hymn, “What Shall the Harvest be?” by Mrs. Hattie Meade-Smith, with the big choir joining in the chorus. Kev. Mr. Bagby, chaplain of the House of Representatives, led in an earnest prayer for the Christian people of the city, but even more for a benediction upon the young men who are finding it so hard to come out on the side of Christ. “Rock of Ages” was the hymn which Mr. Sankey then chose, but he did not sing it to the old, familiar air, but to another, one | with a swing, a sort of revival movement |to it that was quite as much in keeping = the spirit and character of the meet- ing. who | They made a most | thought, were the people who are altogether “too good.” One of the meanest men in all history was the elder brother in the chapter of Luke. He was altogether too | good in his way, but there was not a single one of the Beatitudes delivered from the “etme to which he was not radically op- mes “He went down,” said Mr. Moody earn- estly, e went down from the sins of the mind just as the younger son was lost through the sins and lusts of the body. There are no sins that do not come In one = other of these categories, just as they do in the classes represented by the publican and the sinner. Oh! but if they ‘could only have called on the name of the Lord He would have heard their cry. And how was that father of those two an hh lke he seems to me to who is ready and willing to save each moe coun nell ail, even unto the uttermost. Must Be an Honest Cry. “Whosoever calls on the name Lord shall be saved.” But it must honest cry. Brethren, if we could but up an honest, earnest cry to God we have such a pentecostal blessing have never known. And we don’t go back to the days of Manassa or the New Testament times for a this.” The speaker in connection with 7 told of a noted burglar who was in jail St. Louis, and by chance read the a Moody meeting in a een ys man was a dyed-in-the-wool | and was attracted to the story “Oy tional headline, “The Jailer Jailed,” the impression that Philippi, where cident occurred,was a little town near by Tilinvis: ewhere, and he was a | to hear of a jailer, a member of a class hated of old, jailed himself.

And he was saved,and, what was more, his character was 80 changed that when the time came on for his trial to begin the sheriff labored -_, ————, to get him off. It up in the man becoming a 4 sheriff, and from being a desperate nyt 4 burglar he rose to a point where he was trusted with all the money that came into the sheriff's office. This was back in the early 0's. Administrations have come and | Sone, but that man still holds his place for his honesty and ability. Mr. Moody gave the man’s name and said that if there was any man in the audience who did eve this J vnge mgr to be true he was at Mb- erty to write to the man in and ask him about it. haart The Answer to Prayer. -“I don’t think,” said Mr. Moody, “that there was ever a man at any time or place who prayed truly to God without having his prayer answered. And you don’t have | to wait for me to finish my sermon before | you make your prayer. Just bow your | head where you are and honestly say: ‘Lord, have mercy on me, a sinner.’ You" | have your prayer answered before you | leave this hall. Won't you pray, father, | son; won’t you pray, mother, daughter, | won't you pray? Is your burden too heavy. |for you to bear? Then throw it ail upon | the Lord. Is there a lost woman here to- night? Let her but say, ‘Lord, make me clean.’ Is there a gambler here tired of his past life and his sins? Let him throw them all on the Lord. Is there a skeptic here tonight who has never prayed before? Let him at least bow his head in deference to the others. Don’t you | believe in the existence of God? pray, ‘Oh, God, if there be a God, help me.” I have known many an atheist to be helped by that simple prayer. “Let us all pray. Bow your heads and |say after me, “Lord, help me.’ Now you didn’t all say that. Say it again, all rever- ently and earnestly. ‘God, help me.’ Now again, ‘Lord, have mercy upon me, @ sinner.’"" Every head was bowed. Many a voice followed the evangelist in these, words of supplication. Many an eye was | filled with tears, and many a heart was touched. It was a wonderful scene, and one that was deeply impressive however it | was viewed. Mr. Moody followed with an eloquent invocation for an outpouring of divine grace and mercy. Then the choir! j Sang the two appropriate hymns, “Chi Died for Sinful Men” and “Take Me as Am.” This closed the regular meeting of the evening, but by far the larger part of the crowd stayed for the after meeting an@ there were more than enough people wait- ing outside the closed doors to fill all the | seats vacated, so that at 9 o'clock there were quite as many people in the hall as were there when the service began. it na of : ial Rev. Dr. Elliott's Invocation. A few moments of silent prayer followed, | and then from the stillness, so marked in such a large place, rose the clear, earnest voice of the beloved pastor of the Ascen- sion ——, Rev. Dr. John H. Elliott, bade ly res upon the gathering and the good work that is being done in the name of the | Lord. “And all this we ask,” said Dr. El- liott, in concluding, “in the name of |Him who has taught us to pray, ‘Our | Father, who art in heaven.” It seemed as though every prayer that is common to all denomina- tions of the Christian religion and the pray- | er which, it is safe to say, nine-tenths of all |in the hall had learned as little children at | the knees of beloved mothers. At the con- | clusion of another hymn and prayer Mr. Moody read from the tenth chapter of the Epistle to the Romans, beginnin, “Breth- ren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they might be saved.” The choir rose and sang several verses of the hymn, “How shall we escape if we ne- glect_ so great a salvation?” after which Mr. Moody made a number of announce- ments. The most important of these w: that after next Monday the evening ses- sions would be reserved for men, for the hall is not big enough to accommodate all who want to come when men and women come at the same time. On Tuesday and | Wednesday afternoons only the afternoon meetings will be open to the gentler half of the population, but they have had, so Mr. Moody said, the larger share of the meet- | ings so far, and he did hope to see, in the | evening, many men who have not hitherto been able to take part in the services. After the singing of the hymn, ‘ome, Thou Fount of Every Biessing,” Mr. Moody began his address, taking for his text the thirteenth verse of the tenth chapter of Romans, ‘For it shall come to pass that whosoever calleth on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” ° All Can Be Saved. “I presume I have read this verse, but it | | seems to me that I never really understood | the significance of the words until recently. Whosoever calleth shall be saved. Do you realize what this does mean? It means that every drunkard, every harlot, every gam- bler can be saved if they only call upon the rame of the Lord. Do you believe it, my friends? Do you believe it down here in the front rows? Do you believe it here on the platform? Do you believe it, you in the choir? Why, if this is true, it is the most important, the most significant in all the, “This verse has made a great impression on me, and in studying it I have noticed that in all the Scriptures there is not a sin- gle case mentioned of a man who called to God that was not saved. From the time of the fall of Adam down this has been the case. Adam did not cry to God; Cain did not call to God. Why, brethren, I believe that if Judas had called to God for mercy he would have received mercy. It is not every man who thinks he is calling who is really calling. Why, there are several kinds jof erles, as every child and every mother |knows. There are cries that do not mean lanything, just as there are prayers that are not really prayin; i A Child's Cry. | | Bible. | Curiously enough, just at this point a lit-/ | tle babe in the audience raised its voice in a single cry. “There,” said Mr. Moody, “is my proof. There is no grief in that cry, and I don't think we'll hear it again.” And it was not | heard. | Mr. Moody then went on to speak earn- estly of the need for calling upon God, and said that he had no use for the man or the | woman who had never sinned and could not sin and ask forgiveness.

At the afternoon, Moody and Sankey meeting yesterday one of the largest crowds that has attended any of the day meetings was present. Almost every seat in the great hall was filled and the services |were of a more than usually impressive Mr. Sankey sang a number of and there were prayers by Rev. .G. ler and Mr. Moore of Boston. Be- ore delivering nis address, Mr. Moody jstated that he had received during the se- jries of meetings, a great number of per- | sonal letters from people who desired that he should make a special prayer for them, Ie had made a collection of these requests sking that the con- bow their heads earnest prayer as he did so. Mothers ked for prayers for wayward sons, wives | for drunken and dissolute husbands, and there were requests of all sorts that made a deep impression on the hearts of all who were present. | Mr. Moody’s address was directed for the most part to the backsliders, who had en- | jJoyed fellowship and communion with the | Lord and had lost it. “Men go back from a state of grace into sin,” he said, “not by one great fall, but step by step. There are many people who keep their position in the c h who are just as bad as those who have been deprived of theirs. The prodigal was just as much a backslider when he left his father’s door dressed in | fine clothes and with plenty of money as he was when down there among the swine, | His heart had gotten away from his fa- |ther, just as many of you have let your hearts get away from your Almighty Pa- her.” | One of the first steps in a fall, sald Mr, Moody, is sel fidence. When a man gins to get his own estimation begins to get small in the sight of God.
