A Fixed Law of Nature, What Shall the Harvest Be?- Liquor Sellers Cannot Afford to Sell Spirits The advent of Mesere. Moody and ■Sankey into this city has aroused tuore than ordinary excitement and their wel come was a very enthusiastic one. Three services were held yesterday at the First Presbyterian Church, the first at 8 o’clock in the morning for Chris tians, at 3 o’clock for women only, and an night meeting for men only. All three of the meetings were crowded and before the services commenced, even standing room wasat a premium. The meeting for men could not have been attended by less than IKK) persons, and over 200 people were unable to enter the church. The services were conducted on the usual revival plan, the choir singing the several hymns selected for the evening very creditably, and Mr. Sankey was listened attentively while Ue sang three solos, his resonant and powerful voice till ing every corner of the editice witli melody. The congregation were also requested by Mr. Moody to join in singing two or three bym s and after ottering up a fervent prayer, Mr. Moody called the attention or the congregation to a text to be found in ttie sixth chap ter of Caul’s letter to the Gal."llans and the 7th verse, “He not deceived, God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall be also reap.” Mr. Moody said: 1 believed that text of 20 years ago and 1 believe it 100 times more to-night than 1 did tben.it is one of the truths tbat has be n growing on me and it burns deeper and deeper in my soul. To the skeptic who does not be lieve the Bible here is a line tbat you might as well try to pluck the sun out of the heavens as te pluck out this truth. Close up the Bible and take history or the daily papers aud you will rind that here is an unalterable law, It is inevit able and it applies to saint and sinner alike. It is a decree of eternal nature that man shall reap the same kind of seed that he sows, though the devil tries to tell you it is not so. Mr. Moody stated that be preached on the same text some years ago, and a man jumped up on his feet and said, “1 don't believe it.” That did not change the fact, however; his not believing it, the truth remained, and he went out, and when outside he was arrested, two men having a warrant for him; be was tried for stealing and sent to the penitentiary. Tbat thing was troubling him and lie did not like tbat kind of text, bis conscience troubled him; some of tbem plight get up and go out, but if they saw a man go out to-night they might know he was wounded (laughter.) Pointing to the crowd of boys seated in front of him, the evangelist said: “These boys know what it is to be de ceived; they’ have been deceived by their own hearts, but it was folly and madness for a man to think he can de ceive the Almighty God who knows the ways of all men; you cannot conceal any thing from him, for he can read our th ughta as well as you and I, can rend a book and the difference ot the God of the Bible and the God of this World is right here; the God of this World is the devil, and every man in here to-night that is away from God is w ith the God of this World, and bis own deceitful heart; the God of the Bible never has, never will and never can de ceive anyone, and when he tells you you are going to reap what you sow you bad better believe it. Mr. Moody then divided this subject of sowing and reaping into four parts: I.—That man expects to reap when he sows. 2.—Jie expects to reap sometime. 3.—He expects to reap more than he sows. 3. Ignorance and crime will make no difference. He sows on hopes and looks forward to the harvest, to the reaping time. A man expects to reap the same kind of seed tbat he sows ; if he sows wheat be did not look for corn, if he sowed pota toes he did not look for cucumbers. If he stood there and told them he sowed 10 acres of—wheat and barley came up they would not believe him, they knew it was a fixed law of nature; if they sow wheat, wheat is going to come; if they sowed tares, tares are going to come. He wanted to tell tbem he did not know of any other truth in tbat book that was so solemn to him, on this very fact of God making man reap the same kind of seed that be sows. The preacher cited the esse of a father telling bi* son to tell a neighbor that he was not in when he called and said that if be taught tbe boy to lie to some one else he would lie te him; if he taught the boy to curse God, it would not be long before he cursed him. “You teach your clerks,” continued the preacher, to cheat your customers snd it won’t be long before they will tell you liesand stick their band intoyourtill and take some mcney. 1 believe tbat is tbe reason for tbe number of defaulters and forgers; their consciences have been tam pered with. On the subject of the Sab bath desecration Mr. Moody spoke earnestly, stating that employers were teaching their clerks to break tbe Sabbath and be did no* know xvhicb was worse, to steal money from a man’s pocket or to steal the Sabbath from God; on* was as black a crime as tbe other. “I tell you this nation is going down in blood, if you give up the Sabbath. I say to the working men, don't you give up the Sabbath, or you will work and get no more for seven days than you do now for tbe six,” and he referred them to the workmen of Paris foran example, who were working for 76 cents a day; hod carriers and laborers who were just being ground down by capitalists. He alluded to the many times sceptics had come to him and brought up Jacob and David as characters, derisively alluding to them. That wa* just what the matter was, they were stumbling over Jacob to-day; If they took the lives of these two men they would find they had to reap just what they sowed. Thev would remember how Jacob lied to'his old father, and passed himself otl as Esau, and by his downright rascality and fraud to which his mother Rebecca was a party, he get the birthright, but he would tell them that when he did so, it was tbe dearest bargain he ever had in his life. If they got a dollar dishonestly it was mighty hard to keep it, got a dollar dishonestly it was migbty and if they laid it; up for their sons they would squander it. If they wanted to get God’s dealing with a man they had to take ROBERT H. HUNSTOCK, TEXAS. SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, MONDAY, MARCH 1. 1886. SOWING AND REAPING. It from the cradle to the grave. Analys ing the whole of Jacob’s history. Sir. Moody conclusively proved his hearers bow Jacob sowed what be reaped, show ing how he bad killed a kid and lied to bis father, and how bis son killed a kid and lied to hitn. He I hen drew their attention to David's career. “Woe to tbe man,” said he, “who makes light of David's sin. I would rather plunge mv list into tbe tire than make light of David's sin. Do you remember bow God took David from obscurity to put him on the throne, and tn his prosperity he forgot God, he committed adultery, and to cover his sin he committed mur der; but he was king, and w ho was going to bring him to justice.” He « ould call thelr attention te one text,“Besure your Bin will find you cut.” There was no judge who dared to pronounce the sen tence on David; no jury to bring in a verdict of guilty against David, who dared to pronounce sentence on David? At that time there was no detective Io find him out, and yet his sin found him out. Did not God tind out David and bring him to judgment? A prophet was sent to David and be gives him the par able ot the ewe lamb, of the two men in one city, one rich and the other poor tbe rich man having exceeding many (locks and herds and the poor man who bad nothing save one little ewe lamb, and how the rich man took the poor man’s ewe lamb and David said, "a man 'hat has done that In my Kingdom shall surely die” and David asked who the man was and tbe prophet said, “Thou Art the Man” and this was the penalty. “I will raise up evil in thy family and sorrow shall never leave thy house.” David committed adultery and Amnon commits adultery witli David's own daughter. This is tbe strongest argu ment tbat can be brought to bear on men that are living in adultery that they will the same kind of seed they sow. “I tell you, s:ud Mr. Moody, one of the most übjust things is the way in which woman is treated after she has been wronged by man, be just es capes as it were, and bolds his head high In society, that black hearted libertine walks down tbe broad aisles of your church with his pure wife and his pure daughter and tbe woman that lie has left and blasted her reputation, be has dragged her down to hell distorted in soul and body. If you think God is go ing to allow anything like that in his kingdom you must be under tbe power of the devil mightily. If be brought David to judgment do you think be will not bring you to judgment. God has a law as well as Texas; you may escape the law of man but He will bring you to judgment some day. David co omitted adultery and murder, and adultery and murder was brought in his family; David rebelled against God and Absalom rebelled against David and drove him from bis throne Ibe reaping time bad come, he had brought ruin on to his family, lie was going to reap the same kind of thing that he sowed; he reaped the very same kind of seed.” i bis was the strongest argument you could bring against the liquor seller, wholesale or retail; they were equally bad, and he wanted to say right there that they could not afford to sell liqiier. Did they know why? Because they would bring ruin upon their own fami lies, leaving out tbe religious view of It; if he does it will come back again. He challenged tbem to tind a man who was selling liquor 20 years ago, who has not a skeleton in his family to-day. If they could tind one be did not know it, either in tbe old country or this country. That was God’s law; they are going to reap the same kind of seed they sowed. He wished all tbe whisky in Texas was down in the Gulf,and tbe rum sellers all saved; might God have mercy on tbe ruin men. He did make tbat remark once and the next morn ing a gentleman walked into his room and said. "1 want to correct you on that; my father was a rum seller before me. 1 am a rum seller and nothing of the kind is in our family.’’ Two or three leading citizens were in his room at the time, and as the man left these men turned to him and said, 'How could that man talk like that, it was only six weeks ago bis brother was carried out dead; he was a drunkard and committed suicide, and he left a large family which that man bus now to support, and not two months ago he was seen going through tbe streets drunk himself.” Ba sure they were going to reap the kind of seed they sowed; let them put that down; if they sowed tares, they would reap tares; if they made other men’s sons drunkards and ruined other men’s daugh ters their own sons and daughters would be ruined. Mr. Moody then gave several forcible examples of men; some of tbem criminals, who bad come to him and im burdened themselves, to sustain his hy pothesis tbat men shall reap as they sow to all of which bis audience listened with rapt attention, stating that it did not take a man a long time to ruin his reputation, but it took a much longer time to build It up again. They were sowing for eternity; there fore it became tbem to look well to what kind of seed they were sowing. He asked tbe young tnen what seed they were sowing. If they would tell him what kind of seed they were sowing, he would tell them what kind of harvest they would have. How did they spend their Sabbath? Show him a nation of Sabbath breakers, and he would show them a nation that was going down. How did they spend their nights ? Did tbey go into drinking saloons and play for the drinks? Bye and bye they would lose their position, lose the confidence of them employers, and they would be cast out destitute, drink would bind their hanu and foot, and they could not walk by a public house without an nnseen po’wer laying hold of them and they would be a slave to the infernal cup. Though they would like once more to be a respectable citi zend loving husband, thy would go down to a drunkard's grave and adrunk ard's hell. Might God have meroy on the drinkers and he earnestly exhorted them to hurl the cup from them. What did they do with that father and mother of theirs; tell him how they treated them and be would tell tbem what kind of harvest they were going to have. Did they call that white haired father, the old man, did tbey call that sweet faced mother, the old woman. God hove mercy on them if they made the last days of father and mother dark and bitter: “Honor thy father and mother that their days may be long on the earth.” Had they been in this State for months and bad not written home; did they re member their mother on tbe birthday? God nave mercy on them if they did not. Bye and bye tbey would be a father and their children would treat them just as they treated their parents. Look well to see what kind ot seed you are sowing. He begged them to go into the churches on the Sabbath and leave their old as sociates; he believed more men were lost because they had not the moral courage to come out with their convictions, than anything else and he did not believe there was a sceptic in the house who did not believe what he was saying that night. Might God help them to' break away; let them cut off the devil’s chains and leave their old haunts. As aa instance tbat every oue baa to reap what he sows be presented an example of a man sowing thistles with corn, andon bia employer discovering th* fact and taxing tbe man with it. The man said, “you told me if ever I did wrong and I confessed you would forgive me” and after confessing that h* sowed thistles with the corn, his employer forgave him but told bim that when lit reaped that wheat he would have to reap the thistles along with it. God might forgive tbem. bnt it was a certain consequence tbat he and they had to reap the thistles even though forgiven. They bad all got to reap and they had better have Christ to help them and tbey had better come to Christ at once. A man reaps in tears and bitter ness and there are certain sine which they must all reap. After a few more remarks Mr. Moody concluded his Inter esting discourse and prayer was offered up for those who desired it. Socialist Leaders London. February 27.—Hyndman. Wil liams and Burns, the socialist leaders, were brought before Sir James Ingham at the Bow street court to-day, for a further hearing of charges preferred against them on account of their utter ance on the recent socialist demonstra tions in London. Hyndman, who con ducts his own defense, complained of the course of the magistrate and .Mr. Chil ders. Home Secretary, declaring that they were prejudiced against the de fendants and exhibited that prejudice. In the course of his remarks he dubbed Mr. Cbilder* "Coercion Childers.” Colonel Henderson, who was at the bead of the London police at the time of the riots, but who has since resigned and who was subpuned as a witness for tbe defense, testified that be saw no signs at tbe meeting of a premeditated attack on property. A Novel Event. Detroit, Micb., February 27.—A novel event occurred nt the German Lutheran church, yesterday afternoon. The Presi dent of tbe United States stood sponsor, by proxy, for a child on one of the hum blest families of the congregation. 'The occasion was the outgrowth of tbe wish ot Carl Dettleofl to observe an old Ger man custom—that of doing special bonor to the twelfth successive male offspring in tbe same family. The church whs packed. The President's representa tive was Congressman Maybury, dulj appointed by letter from the White House. Mr. Dettleoff and the christen ing party were much in earnest, but by outsiders the affair was humorously re garded. A sermon in German was preached by Rev. Emil Darknortb, in which he said it was a glorious thing to live in a country where the President did not feel above standing sponsor to the child ot the poor man. Then the clergyman asked: "Grover Cleveland, do you renounce tbe devil and all bis works?” “Yah,” said Congressman May bury. The Congressman then slipped a golden eagle into tbe outstretched hand of tbe babe and took the train for Wash ington. Dempsey Wins. Jek-kv Citv, N. J., February 25.— About 4000 men gathered last night in Oakland rink to witness the contest be tween Jack Dempsey and Pete McCoy. Chief of Police Murphy, with a force of 50 men, kept back the surging crowd from tbe 21 foot ring erected on the platform, in the center of the rink. A large number of sporting and club men from New York were present. McCoy was accompanied by Tom Evans and Daniel Gill, of Boston. Dempsey fol lowed immediately, and was assisted by Gus Tuthill and Tom Cleary. W. E. Harding was chosen time-keeper, and Mike Cleary referee. In the first round Dempsey made no attempt to light, but he made three points to McCoy's one. In the second round McCoy got in some good work, but, in the third, fourth, and fifth rounds. Dempsey fairly made sport of him, and had him winded. In the sixth and last round, McCoy fought for all he was worth, but was unable to stop Dempsey's “bodv blows” and “upper cuts,” and McCoy's friends felt relieved when the referee called time. The referee declared the fight won by Dempsey, who took the re ceipts, amounting to over $6OOO. The Late Gale. New York. February 27. —The gale of last night at a late hour attained tbe re markable velocity of 81 miles per hour, being tbe highest speed since New York station was established, the hlgheit pre viously being 72 miles per hour, 1876.
