en he gave
away large sums of money to the poor up it went further still. By and by
it went out of sight, and years rolled on, and it went up, he thought,
past the clouds, clear into heaven. When he died he thought he would
step off his ladder into heaven, but he heard a voice roll out from
paradise, "He that climbeth up another way, the same is a thief and a
robber." and down he came, ladder and all, and he awoke. He said if he
wanted to get salvation he must get it another way than by good deeds,
and he took the other way.

-- We must not limit the mighty grace of God.

-- Grace means undeserved kindness. It is the gift of God to man the
moment he sees he is unworthy of God's favor.

-- A man does not get grace till he comes down to the ground, till he
sees he needs grace. When a man stoops to the dust and acknowledges
that he needs mercy, then it is that the Lord will give him grace.

-- If you are ready to partake of grace you have not to atone for your
sins--you have merely to accept of the atonement. All that you want
to do is to cry, "God have mercy upon me," and you will receive the
blessing.

-- "The grace of God hath power to bring salvation to all men," and if a
man is unsaved it is because he wants to work it out; he wants to
receive salvation in some other way than God's way; but we are told
that "he that climbeth up another way, the same is a thief and a
robber."

-- When we get full of this grace we want to see everyone blessed--we
want to see all the churches blessed, not only all the churches here,
but in the whole country. That was the trouble with Christ's
disciples. He had hard work to make them understand that His gospel
was for everyone, that it was a stream to flow out to all nations of
the earth. They wanted to confine it to the Jews, and He had to
convince them that it was for every living being.

HEAVEN.

Moody in a California Sunday School.

I remember when I went to California just to try and get a few souls
saved on the Pacific coast, I went into a school there and asked, "Have
you got some one who can write a plain hand?" "Yes." Well, we got up the
blackboard, and the lesson upon it proved to be the very text we have
to-night. "Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven." And I said,
"Suppose we write upon that board some of the earthly treasures? And we
will begin with 'gold.'" The teacher readily put down gold, and
