MOODY
ASSURANCE
Tells How Christians Can Become Possessors
ofIL
DISCOURSE IN THE EVENING
Had Something to Say About Meetings
for Worklngmen-Said There Was a
Tendency to Discredit the Book of
Daniel and Thereupon He Made an
Eloquent Plea for the Preservation
of the Scriptures as They Stand.
The Moody mission services began
yesterday at 4 p. m. at Elm Park
church, when Mr. Moody addressed a
large audience upen "Assuranoe," bus
ing bis remarks upon St John, xx, 31.
A gentleman once approached him
with a request that he would recom
mend a book upon "Assuranee" and be
told him that the best book was by 0
man named John. The gentleman re
ferred to asked whether the author was
an Englishman and was surprised to
find thai the Bible was referred to.
ouch was the case with bundreds.
said Mr. Moody, who read every book
but the Bible and are surprised that
they eannot get sssurance. When he
was converted and got assurance be
thought that every Christian should
wear an outward badge, but after ex
perience of years he thought different,
as every rogue and hypocrite could
wear a badge, and God knew the best
place by placing it In the heart of mau.
Some Christians were kind, even tem
pered and with a smile for every
one; others were snappish, cross
and impatient. Which class, he
asked bis audience with some em
phasis, do you belong to! I would not,
he said, give that muoh for tons of the
latter class, at the same time giving an
emphatio snap with his fingers. Mr.
Moody went on to refer to other points
bearing npon bis subject ana was
diligently followed by a large number
who were well provided with Bibles
and read his quotations. He expressed
himself deliguted with the lnrge num
ber who bad brought their Bibles with
them and trusted that everybody would
do likewise at the remaining afternoon
meetings.
SERVICE IN THB EVENING.
Once more the capacious El in Park
church was filled at the evening ser
vice and many attended at an early
hour to enjoy the excellent singing
which is conducted by Mr,, Stebbins
previous to the service. ,
The him Park church quartette dis
coursed some sweet music during the
preliminary service after which Mr,
Moody made an announcement with
regard to the workingmen's mission,
and stated that in May he began to
work among the workingmeu in the
Wyoming valley and after' a three
months' absence he was highly grati
fied to observe the great success f the
mission.
Last Saturday he addressed 1,500
workingmeu in the tent at Pittston.
The work would be removed from
Pittston to Scranton in a few days and
he asked them all to work for the sue
cess of the movement. Many people
with poor clothes would not attend a
cbnrcn, but there was every possibility
of getting them into a tent. Let the
mothers bring their babies with them.
In order to enoourage the mothers to do
so he onee announced In England that
no woman would be allowed in the
meeting without a baby in arms, and
the result was that 1,100 babies were in
the meeting. He felt that the move
ment would be successful and asked
the meeting to make a collection to
wards defraying the expenses.
JONAH AND THE WHALE.
Mr. Moody in commencing his ser
mon expressed his joy to see so many
young man present and extended
hearty invitation to attend on Tours
dav evening, when he would speak on
the "Prophet Daniel" Last night he
addressed bis remarks upon the book
of Daniel, and stated that there was a
tendency in and out of the church to
throw discredit upon this book, but it
they gave up one portion of the Bible
let them give it all up. Mr. Moody
then denounoed in strong terms the ac
tion of those people who stated that
they did not believe in certain portions
of Holy Scriptures, and as an instance
quoted the stand taken that the whale
could not swallow Jonah, as its mouth
was not sufficiently large. "Why," he
exclaimed, "(iod coul i make a fish
with a mouth large enough to swallow
t Vt a ViiiriiH anil 'oil Ilia naAnla tn f t "
iuio wuutvu buu hub pouta 4 U t V,
Tee idea that God could not create
such a fish to upset the Scriptures.
Other men, he remarked, would not
believe in supernatural things, and
therefore wanted to do away with all
the books. Why if the men who wrote
those supernatural incidents in the Bi
bledid not believe in them, they were
writing a deliberate lie. There was
something supernatural in everything
connected with the life of Christ, and
all His life had been prophesied and
these prophesies had been fulfilled. The
idea of a man who calling himself a
disciple of Christ, finding fault with
tbe only book or his bavour. Thwre
were many things which a man
could not understand. II
had read it for forty years, and if he
understood it at first all interest in it
would have gone, but it was as fresh
to him as ever and thank (iod, be de
clared, that he did not understand the
whole ot it Inasmuch as it was
source of continual new interest to
him. He recollected one man who spoke
against tne 131 Die and declared we
wanted a new one, and he was asked
which was the first book, Genesis or
Revelatlons.i"Well,;i can't exaotly tell,
dui x Know we want a new uible. '
KNOW THE LEAST ABOUT IT.
The men who wanted a new Bible
were tbe men who knew least of it,
There was no book so misjudged as the
old Book, and men who hesitated to
give an opinion on other books without
a thorough perusal, freely criticised
tbe Bible without being able to quote
one verse of its oontents. Tbe best
answer to skeptical men was the num
ber of nronheeles that had been fnl
filled, two hundred prophecies from
God to Christ had been fulfilled, and
that 400 years before the coming of
, It was, be emphasized, easier for bint
to believe the Bible tban U. L, Moody.
His heart bad deceived him a 1,000
times, but tbe Bible never, une thous
and five hundred Bibles were printed
every hour of tbe day and hardly a
language was spoken but that tbe Bible
was printed in it. Too many preachers
take a text from the Bible and go np
like a balloon selecting subjects all over
creation with which to wrap up the
verse, but preaching no Scripture.
Such sermons went over the heads of
people and hit none. One word of God
was worth tons of "Moodv's sermons."
After a vivid repltition of Dr. Andrew
Bonner s portrayal of tbe betrayal or
Christ by Judas, Mr. Moody referred to
nis own visit to the Holy Land and
was most graphio and Impressive as to
nis erioris to una tbe spot where bis
Saviour had died for him, his journey
to Betbsny and other parts and in an
eloquent peroration closed a most Im
pressive sermon on a most eloquent sub
ject.
xms arternoon Mr. uooay will speak
on "flow to Study tbe Bible" and par
ticularly requests bis hearers to bring
their Bibles with them to tbe meeting,
which will be held at Elm Park
church at 4 p. m. He also addressed a
request to his audienoe to assemble at
8 43 so that a few selections ot Gospel
hymns could be sung before the meet
ing. Another meeting will be held
at the same church at 8 p. m..
which Mr. Meody will also address.
Mr. Bliss will speak at the Gospel tent,
West Side, at 4 p. m. and 7.80 p. m.
WORK OF MR. BLISS.
The work of E. W. Bliss In the West
Side tent, has so far been very effect
ual, and considering the difficulties
under wblob he has labored, he is to be
highly commended. There is a drop
ping off in bis andienees caused by
Mr. Moody's services in the Elm Park
ohurcb, but beyond this.the meetings
are as enthusiastic as ever. The choir
is now doing excellently and Mr.
Moody paid them a high tribute on
their singing while preaching in the
tent on Sunday evening.
West side people have become deenlv
interested iu the campaign, but are
greatly dissatisfied with the arrange
ment that Mr. Moody is aot to preaob
over there again. An effort is now
beingmade.to have him there next Sun
day morning.
Last evening a great many gathered
unde rthe canvas tent. Tbe meeting
opened with a servioe of song and
praise, alter wnteh Kev. L. C. lloyd
gave a prayer. Mr. Bliss gave a short
talk on sinners In general, and tbe va
rious wavs of hiding sins. A solo, en
titled "Go Bear Tby Burden," was
sung in a rioh baritone voice by Job n
Jones, of Bellevue, Mr. Bliss gave a
prayer and announced that services
wouldibe held every evening this week
except Saturday. "The Crowning
Day Is Coming" followed. Mr. Bliss
took as his text for bis evenins dis
course Isaiah iii, 9, saying: "In all
their smiction, lie was afflicted. Dar
ing bis remarks he said :
Qod always felt for the veonle. Man
had no sooner wandered away in Eden,
tban Qod was after him. There are sor
row and other things coming to us all the
time. Some people try to avoid acoidents
and the like, but it is of no use, for it is
our lot on earth. A man sometimes fails
in business, and tbe first thing he says is,
"Qod don't care for me." How quick the
heart is to suggest suchlthlngs. Our text
says: "In ail his affliction, be was af
flicted." 1 did once think that Qod de
lighted In raising some ceonleand letting

COMPASSION OF GOD.
Some people would rather have me talk
about God's compassion than his justice.
"In His love aud pity He redeemeth thorn."
How could Ofod overlook sin in His com
passion and justice? That text was the
answer. Qod asked the question, "Who'll

4.000 years before Christ came, and His
son went to the temple when onlv 12

a man sees something which greatly an
gers him, he storms around and almost
commits murder. Another man will' see
something which angers him and will
close his eyes and pray to Qod. When
Qod redeems a soul He carries us through
to the end of our days. "Father, if you
do everything for your son, havn't you a
right to expect love ana gratitude." 11
any man loves not tbe Lord uesus enrtst,
let him be accursed at the Lord's coming.
I want to ask you, my hearers, it you

Lord Jesus Christ. Can't you say I'll try
and live a better life, and turn your back
to your sine? Say. I'll do His will and
obey Him, Master here I come, I come to

Dr. Bliss gave an earnest prayer,
Mr. Stebbins sang a bautitul selection,
and after a short prayer service the
meeting closed.

INC TO
So E. J. Satford, of Greenwich, N. Y. , Thought
and Therefore Committed Suicide.
NO FEARS FOR THE FUTURE
When Standing on the Brink of the
Great Unknown He Penned Letters
Stating That the Future Had No
Terrors for Him Blamed Whisky
and Gambling for His Downfall, and
Gave Some Sage Advice to Young
Men.
One more unfortunate, whose life be
came a burden to him, shnllbd off tbe
mortal coil yesterday. On Aug. 8 a
well dressed man giving bis name as
E. J. Safford. whose folks live at
Greenwiob, N. Y., hired a room from a
family named Jones at 140 Franklin
avenue. He was about 45 years of age,
nearly six feet tall and weighed 200
pounds. The family with whom be
roomed saw but little of him; he slept
late in the morning and was not in the
babit ot retiring nntil a late bour at
night. He appeared to be well supplied
with money.
Yesterday when Mrs. Jones went to
his room to arrange it, expecting to
find him gone ont as usual, she fouud
bis door locked and went there several
times during the day with the same re
sult
About 4.30 in the afternoon her hus
band returned from work and she ex
plained that there was something queer
about tbe fast that the door of Safford's
room was locked. He investigated and
opened the door with a key and found
Safford dead in bed.
REASON FOR THE SUICIDE.
The Jones' heard bim enter the
house about midnight and go to his
room. Before retiring he locked the
door and left tbe key on tbe dressing
case. Letters and $8 in money were
found on the stand. This letter was
soribbled with a lead pencil on tbe
back of a letter directed to bim at an
address in Binghamton. It was from
M. O. Ottens & Co., or New York, and
requested him to ship by express cer
tain goods unsold in his possession.
Tbe letter is as follows and explains
the motive of suicide:
I have taken B, J. Ingersoll's advice
and taken a little morphine, that is when
be is tired of living, as I am, aud I can see
nothing to live for. I am worse than
"brose" and can see no way to recuperate.
I have always tried to live an honest
life, but whisky has got the better of me
and try as I could I was unable to conquer
the everlasting desire of its effects. 1 am
not insane, nor have I any fears ot tbe fu
ture. My only regret in regard to this
act is the pain which it will
cause my relatives who are respectable
people, residing in Greenwich, N. Y.
Whisky is tbe cause of this act. If I
could nave controlled my appetite I could
tide myself over my present financial
troubles. This money here is the last I
have in the world, and it 1b due the laud
lady. To the coroner: Doctor, be sure
that I am dead before you allow my re
mains to be placed in the colli n.
Yours, etc., E. J. Safford.
ADVICE TO YOUK(l MEN,
The other letter was written on the
back of a telegram reoeived from the
same firm. It said:
There is a pawn broker's ticket in my vest
pocket calliug for my watch if some one
win Kindly loon alter it, it the boys no'
titv mv brother. C. H. Safford. Green.

know they have wronged me. Paper is
