NOTES FROM MOODY.

You hear a good many people saying, “I don’t believe in the Old Testament; I believe in the New.” My friends, they are inseparable. A scarlet thread runs through the two, and binds them together. —Sermons, Addresses, and Prayers, p. 154.
The third class are those who are not stricken by their sins, who have no deep conviction of guilt. Just bring the law of God to bear on these, and show them themselves in their true light. . . . Don’t try to heal the wound before the hurt is felt. Don’t attempt to give the consolation of the gospel until your converts see that they have sinned—see it and feel it.—P. 381.
I can imagine some of you saying, “I wouldn’t be weighed by that law [meaning the decalogue]; I don’t believe it.” Now the commandments that I read to you to-night are as binding as they ever have been. . . . But take the fourth commandment: “Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.” If this country fails to keep the Sabbath holy, it will go the way of France, Mexico, and Spain. My friends, every nation that tramples the Sabbath under its feet must go to ruin.—P. 423.
An infidel is one who does not believe in the inspiration of Scripture. A good many of them are in the church, and not a few have crept into the pulpit. As I said the other night, those who cannot believe it, never read it. I hear a great many infidels talk against the Bible, but I haven’t found the first man who ever read the Bible from back to back carefully, and remained an infidel.—P. 448.
Twenty-one years ago I gave myself to work for souls and bring them to the Lord Jesus Christ. And I exhort you from experience not to neglect private or public prayer; so only can you fit yourselves for work, and become effective Christians. This is my experience. Continue to get nearer and nearer to God.—P. 540.
It took Hezekiah eight days to clean the temple from all its filth and uncleanness—to thoroughly purge it. It would be a good idea to clean out a few of the churches of Chicago in the same way. Clean out the fairs, the shows, the lyceums. We want more earnestness and fewer fairs.—P. 555.
