UPON this subject the Observer remarks:-
An experiment was made in this city a few wears
ago, ana Tor nearly eight months the old Academy
OF Music, much larger than the present spacious
building, was crowded every Sunday evening while
much larger crowd came and left without gaining
edmittance. There were only two or three evenings
ana these were stormy, on which there were not
from 1000 TO 900 who came 10 hear the Word and
$4,000 came 10 the Academy OF Music. The same
work has been carried on for years in London
where, every Sabbath evening several theatres
ana halls are crowded, and where clergymen
OF all denominations. including bishops OF the
established Church, preach TO the assembled multi
tudes- Why should not the Gospel as well as error
be preached to the people In our own ciess The
