An invitation was now given to all souls who
wished to get saved, to come near the stand where
upon some ifty or more came and knelt upon straw,
which had been put urou the ground tor the pur-
pose, and then ensued a scene which battles my
limited pen to depict.
They commenced singing and praying over those
people. Meanwhile the preachers on the stand kept
inviting more. "Come to Jesus;"" Oh come, breth-
rem - g Make room there !" Come old men and
old women - !" Come--come--come- brothers and

THURSDAY MORNING.
AT 8 o'clock this morning, the horn blew for ex-.
erclse in the TENTS and, as II by magic a thousand
throats were in an instant scrcechlng and bawling
Glory! Hallelulah Glory To-day, the German
Tent take the palm from the Poughkeepsle Young

kicking Of benckee, psalm singing, praying and ex-
| horting, never heard since the scene at Babel
| At one and The same time, there would be hail
a dozen praying, and dozen of women screech-
ing and crying, and throwing themselves into every
attitude. Invent over to the Greene street tent, and
| the scene was much the same. A big fat cartmar
from New York was praying up to his eyes IN glory
and calling upon all stragglers to come in and re
ceive the Holy Ghost. Come IN, you with thu
white hat, do BROTHER come inside, and take part II
holy prayers" In another tent, sister Bird got VI
and related her experience-how she had been
stripped of all ungodlness, and how she had in con
sequence stripped the rlDDOnS OH neT nat.
AT 10 O'Clock, the regular public services com.
menced by DR.. Bangs requesting those OF the breth
rem who had brought along any of their unconvertec
friends, to pass them to the preachers platform, thai
| they might feel religion and be received into the
church. He then gave out hymn from the twenty
fifth page. After the hymn, Dr. Bangs again got NJ
and said that it was extremely unpleasant for hum I,
be under the necessity OF again dunnlng the breth

BRETHREN that God will manifest his presence here
unless you are liberal Now brother collectors take
your hats and go around to-day. We don't want
and fifty cent pleces.'. The collectors were then
asked how much they got and they replied worse
than yesterday. Dr. Bangs then said that unless
| the people were more liberal, there would be nc
more preaching. He was here interrupted by Elder
Pearce, who requested permission that he might try
his hand at the work whether he could have
better success. Whereupon he proposed that fifty
the brethren should raise the sum OF $50 and ant
their names in with their dollars, commencing witt
himself Only eleven answered this appeal.
Here let it be said to the eternal disgrace of til,
| Methodists, who come here seven thousand strong
to worship in their own way, revelling in anaticsn
and bgotry, rolling and kicking on the straw
and cracking their voices crying Cflor,
and Halleulah, and that they could not raise

want the world to believe that while they are carry

such humbug; 1t is really disgusting.
Finding it useless to continue amy longer their ap-
peals the pockets of the people, psalm SUM- g.
and Dr. Fish, of New Hampshire, selected the 2bil
Psalm, part OF the 9th verse, as text TO preach
| upon.
He commenced by saying that he was plain man,
that he had chosen plain text, and that he woult
preach a plain sermon. True to his word n,
preached an exceedingly plain sermon in an exceed
ingly plain manner and one that had not the reno
test connection relation TO the text.
There will probably be the same amount Of hum
bug folly and fanaticism exhibited this afternoon
was yesterday.
