many knocked at the door and cried out, 'Let us
in." So it was:in the present time. Many looked
upon the religious believers who are looking for
the coming. of Christ as a body of fanatics,
Mr. Meody then made an appeal to all not to doubt
the words of Holy Writ, but to be prepared for the
coming of the Lei& Addressing himself to some of the
little 'children present; he said many had been a great
blessing to others, and he hoped all children would
endeavour to be useful to Christ by trying to bring
other children to Him. Mr. Moody then asked all to
kneel down in silent prayer. During this interval first
a fine solo and afterwards a grand full harmony could
be heard from another part of the house. On inquiry
it was ascertained that the Jubilee Singers had volun-•
teered to sing at the close one of their hymns: The
service closed with the benediction, and the Revivalists,
then took-their leave of that assembly. i •
Mr. Moody, at seven o'clock, gave a special sermon
and farewell address to the young converts. In speak-
ing to them he said that many no doubt found their
cenflict with the world just commencing, and no doubt
many of them were struggling hard to keep hold of
Christ. What they ought rather to do was to trust in
Him, and let Him keep hold of them; In taking his
farewell, he asked all who intended to work for Christ
to stand up. and nearly the whole congregation imme-
diately rose to their feet. The service concluded with
the benediction. A most extraordinary scene now oc,'-
curred. At the close of this a fourth meeting was due.
Thousands of persons had assembled outside, and
the crowd was so immense that it reached full half up
the Haymarket. A body of police had to clear a pas-
iiage for the congregation to come out, and in the
!course of a very short time the place was again densely
crowded for the fourth time with another audience of
men only. :
Mr. Moody announced that he would leave Londofl.
within thirty days, and that their labours would now
be devoted to the East and South part of London. I

On Saturday evening "a young men's Christian con-
vention" was held in the Opera House. • Mr. Moody,
.on taking the chair, referred to the origin of the
Young Men's Christian Association. It was, he said,
the conceptiOn of a young man from the country em-
;ployed More than thirty years ago in a London ware.'
house. The idea soon found its way across the
Atlantic, and there were now between 7,000 and 8,000
such associations in the United States. The building
of the New York Association, which cost £lOO,OOO,
was the handsomest in that city, and he was surprised
this vast and wealthy metropolis was without a Young '
Men's Christian Association central hall.
The Hon. W. E. Dodge, jun., of New York, gave
an account of the operations of the New York Asso-
ciation.
Mr. Sankey having sung "Only an armour-bearer,
firmly I stand," Mr. Moody said some few years back
he managed to get built in Chicago a place of worship
to aecommodate a thousand more than Exeter Hall.
It was burnt down. He succeeded in getting it up
again upon a larger scale. The second building was
destroyed by the great fire of Chicago, and he left the
United States perplexed with doubts whether it would
ever be restored. About thirty days since, however,
he was informed by his friend the Hon. John V.
'Farwell, the president of the Young Men's Christian
Association of Chicago, that his church had been a
third time rebuilt. His friend, who headed the sub.
scription-list with £12,000, must be credited with all
the merit of this third erection. _ _ _

Mr. Farwell next addressed the meeting; and Mr.
J. Wanemaker, president of the Young Men's Chris-
tian Association of Philadelphia, delivered an address,
urging the Christian young men of the "mother city
of the English-speaking people of the world" to lose
no time in procuring a great central hall of their own.
The meeting, which filled the house, terminated with
the Doxology.

On Sunday Mr. Moody held three services at the
Haymarket Opera House (his last Sunday there)—one
in the early morning for Christian workers, at which
he repeated his discourse on Daniel; one in the after-
noon, for women only; and one at night, for men
only. All three were thronged.

The Rev. C. Melville Pym has replaced Mr. Henry
Varley in the Bow-road Hall services of Mr. Sankey.
Mr. Pym is a retired military officer who has seen
service, and his addresses are full of personal reminis-
cences of the battle field. The three services of these
two gentlemen on Sunday were crowded.

On Saturday evening a numerous audience attended
the Earl of Cavan's Gospel address in the Victoria
Theatre, New-cut, where similar addresses were also
given on Sunday afternoon and evening by the Hon.
J. V. Farewell, of Chicago, and the Hon. W. E.
.Jge, jun., of New York, respectively. .

The last service at Her Majesty's Opera House,
Haymarket, was held on Monday, and it was literally
crammed to the doors. Hundreds of persons stood on
the platform during the whole of the service.
After the singing of some hymns and the reading of
requests for prayer, Mr. Moody read several Psalms,
all calling upon the soul to praise. He said be
thought they ought to have pram meetings quite as
often as they had prayer meetings, but the fact was,
that people had so few praise meetings that they
scarcely knew what they meant.
Mr. Sankey then sang a new hymn' entitled "I am
praying for you." Before doing so, he said he could
not help thinking of the first day they had in England.
They held a prayer meeting in York, at which four
persons were present, but it was a good meeting, and
he thought the present was an outcome of it.
Prayer having been offered, the Rev. Newman Hall
addressed the meeting upon prayer and praise, and
said they had indeed cause to praise God for such meet-
ings as they were having.
The proceedings soon afterwards terminated with
the benediction.
