lers, these blasphemers--that is just what every
sinner is doing. But, thank God, we can tell you of a deliverer. The Son
of God has power to break everyone of these fetters if you will only
come to Him.

GOLD.

-- The mightiest man that ever lived could not deliver himself from his
sins. If a man could have saved himself, Christ would never have come
into the world.

-- He came to deliver us from our sinful dispositions, and create in us
pure hearts, and when we have Him with us it will not be hard for us.
Then the service of Christ will be delightful.

-- If you are under the power of evil, and you want to get under the
power of God, cry to Him to bring you over to His service; cry to Him
to take you into His army. He will hear you; He will come to you,
and, if need be, He will send a legion of angels to help you to fight
your way up to heaven. God will take you by the right hand and lead
you through this wilderness, over death, and take you right into His
kingdom. That's what the Son of Man came to do. He has never deceived
us; just say here: "Christ is my deliverer."

EXCUSES.

"I Have Intellectual Difficulties."

There is another voice coming down from the gallery yonder: "I have
intellectual difficulties; I cannot believe." A man came to me sometime
ago and said, "I cannot." "Cannot what?" I asked. "Well," said he, "I
cannot believe." "Who?" "Well," he repeated, "I cannot believe." "Who?"
I asked. "Well--I--can't--believe--myself." "Well, you don't want to."
[Laughter.] Make yourself out false every time, but believe in the truth
of Christ. If a man says to me, "Mr. Moody, you have lied to me; you
have dealt falsely with me," it may be so, but no man on the face of the
earth can say that God ever dealt unfairly, or that He lied to him. If
God says a thing it is true. We don't ask you to believe in any man on
the face of the earth, but we ask you to believe in Jesus Christ, who
never lied--who never deceived any one. If a man says he cannot believe
Him, he says what is untrue.

I Am Not All Right.

I had to notice during the war, when enlisting was going on, sometimes a
man would come up with a nice silk hat on, patent-leather boots, nice
kid gloves, and a fine suit of clothes, which, probably, cost him $100;
perhaps the next man who came along would be a hod-carrier, dressed in
the poorest kind of clothes. Both had to strip alike and put on the
regimental un
