Fully Two Thousand People Crowded Into the Sacred Edifice to Hear His Parting ‘Words. Evangelist Moody preached again yes- terday afternoon from the pulpit of the First Congregational Church. Fully two thousand crowded into the edifice and re- | mained attertive until Mr. Moody ceased to speak. About thirty ministers of the gospel occupied seats on the platform, and to them, not as individuals but as a body, Moody gave advice. “The day Is past,’ sald the evangelist, “when a man of God should endeavor to expound his own theorles and moralize on the words of God. Let him teach his flock the Bible from beginning to end. Christ's words need no explanation. They are written in black and white in the holy book, and 1t should be the desire of a min- ister more thdn anything else to impress the importance of studying the Bible on those whom he has undertaken to lead to heaven. “This habit of taking a text from the Bible as a basis for a sermon and after to his congregation overiook it to soar into oratorical flights is wrong. Oratorical ministers are never successful unless they adhere strictly to the word of God It should not be the province of a minister to ‘give his people something new.’ is wholly improper. “Let him teach his flock from the good | Of course I am casting no re- | old Bible. flections on the ministers of California. 1 have not had the good fortune to attend services here. 1 will for instance, that the practice exists away back in Ohio or some other place equally distant from here. A minister of the gospel make any headway in his mission of sav- ing souls by preaching a twenty-minute sermon_once a week. Why, in Glasgow, where I lectured for five weeks, I know | of people who study the Bible for six| and seven hours a day. One minister in | Imr\!culur taught the words of God to his isteners to such an extent that I noticed his_influence wherever 1 went. 1 could | pick out any chapter in the Bible and nearly everybody in the congregation | could recite it word for word from mem- ory. The words of God are in themselves powerful morals and it needs no minister to select a few of them and then moralize | oratorically on them. “T have heard a_great many people say { both privately and publicly that a person | should néver reform suddenly. What a false doctrine. When a person has real sorrow for his sins he repents. Now re- | pentance is not going down to the bay and standing in water up to your neck for a_d My definition of repentance is, “Halt; right about face.’ That's repent- ance.” If a man has his back turned to God, every step he takes brings him one step nearer the devil. If he turns hi back to the devil every step he brings him nearer to God.” In the morning Mr. Moody lectured at the Young Men's Christian Association. The evangelist left last night for the East. — ee——— MAY BE HANLANS YET. Reésult of the Alameda Boat Club Maiden Outrigged Skiff Race.
