A Man who would not Speak to his Wife.

I remember while in Philadelphia, a man with his wife came to our
meetings. When he went out he wouldn't speak to his wife. She thought it
was very queer, but said nothing, and went to bed thinking that in the
morning he would be all right. At breakfast, however, he would not speak
a word. Well, she thought this strange, but she was sure he would have
got all over whatever was wrong with him by dinner. The dinner hour
arrived, and it passed away without his saying a word. At supper not a
word escaped him, and he would not go with her to the meeting. Every day
for a whole week the same thing went on. But at the end of the week he
could not stand it any longer, and he said to his wife: "Why did you go
and write to Mr. Moody and tell him all about me?" "I never wrote to Mr.
Moody in my life," said the wife. "You did," he answered. "You're
mistaken; why do you think that?" "Well, then, I wronged you; but when I
saw Mr. Moody picking me out among all those people, and telling all
about me, I was sure you must have written to him." It was the Son of
Man seeking for him, my friends, and I hope there will be a man here
to-night--that man in the gallery yonder, that one before me--who will
feel that I am talking personally to him. May you feel that you are
lost, and that the Lord is seeking for you, and when you feel this there
is some chance of your being saved.

GOLD.

-- There was never a sermon which you have listened to but in it Christ
was seeking for you. I contend that a man cannot but find in every
page of this book that Jesus Christ is seeking him through His
blessed Word. This is what the Bible is for--to seek out the lost.

-- No man in the world should be so happy as a man of God. It is one
continual source of gladness. He can look up and say, "God is my
Father, Christ is my Saviour, and the Church is my mother."

-- There is no other way to the Kingdom of God but by the way of the
cross, and it will be easier for you to take it now than it will be
afterward.

-- Everything has to be tried by the sinner before he will come to
Christ. He has to feel that there is nothing that can save him but
Christ, then he will come.

-- Have not some of you heard a sermon in which you were offered as a
sinner to the Lord Jesus Christ, and your conscience was troubled?
You went away,
