ork; I made you feel good." And where are you then? Oh, take your stand on God's word, then you cannot fail. His word has been tried for six thousand years, and it has not failed. So I said to the lady, "Have no more to do with feelings; but, like Job, say, 'Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him.'" She looked at me a few minutes, and then, putting her hand to take mine, she said, "Mr. Moody, I trust the Lord Jesus Christ to save my soul to-night." Then she went to the elders and said the same words. As she passed out she met one of the church officers, and, shaking his hand, said again, "I trust the Lord Jesus to save my soul." Next night she was right before me again. I shall never forget her beaming face; the light of eternity was shining in her eyeballs! She went into the inquiry-room. I wondered what she was going there for; but when I got there, I found her with her arms round a lady friend, saying, "It's only to trust Him. I have found it so."

Will any one to-night pull back the bolts, and say, "Enter, thou welcome, thrice welcome One. Blessed Saviour, come in." God grant that all here may do this! EIGHT "I WILLS" OF CHRIST Read Matt. xi. 28, 29 I wish to call your attention to eight "I wills" of Christ. 1. The first one you will find in Matthew xi. 28: "Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I WILL GIVE YOU REST. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light." Now I never met a person that did not want rest. That man or woman is not living on the face of the earth that doesn'
