RELIGIOUS CHEER FROM SCOTLAND.
The lecture room OF the New York Avenue
Presbyterian church was filled last night by an
intelligent and spprecIative audience, assembled
to hear the account Of the religious work in Scot
land, as told by Rev. W. q Burns and ]. H. Will
son, of the Free church Of Scotland, now touring
in this country.
ha ,,aI day0 al fhaaa
tlemsn were introduced, and spoke of the wonder
full revival IN Scotland, especially in the city Of
Edinburgh, under the preaching and singing Of
Messrs. Moody and Sankey, Of America. The
work hal its beginning In November last, and
the largest halls and churches in the city would
not hold the masses. The plain preaching of Mr..
Moody and the wonderful singing Of Mr.. Sankey
had been power which had stirred the kingdom
amazingly. Such singing had at first Appealed
strange, but had soon alterward taken sash
hold upon tho people os Scotland as Is almost
mast b6lief - 80 " - r.
The songs 'Jesus Of Nazareth passsth by" and
"Gates Ajar" were now ringing everywhere
through the dense crowds in Scotland, and when
:he ma;ses Cannot gain admission to the halls
where religious exercises and preaching are being
conducted, these songs are sung by the outsiders
With lmM5dlaIS an1 telling effect. The gospel Is
being sung no loss than preached to the people of
Scotland. After eight weeks Of labor Under Mr..
Moody of Chicago, In the city Of Edinburgh,
converts meeting was announced, and ], 40 tickets
were issued. Since which date new applicants to
the extent Of sixty per week have called for tickets
to the converts meeting.
Among the children the work has been strangely
extensive, and many most clear conversions have
come TO light. The academic aud normal schools
have been scenes of especial interest, whilo the
famous medical school Of that city have had pub
lic gatherings tor religious worship, and as high
as thirty at Q time were seeking Christ.
The car conductors and mail carriers have Ike
wise been much awakened religiously, and many
cases OF happy conversions have occurred. The
community in gensral-merchants, professional
men and manufacturers and their employees,
have all felt the great shock, Of which no ade-
quate idea can be given In words. Inside Of
three months more than three thousand known
conversions occurred. In one boarding house
fortyeigt out Of the hfty inmates were converted.
This work has been characterized BY an entire
absence Of Excitement; It has been still, deep and
overawing. In one meeting where 5000 men
were present 100 arose for prayers. The work has
thus far been confined to the church-going pub
lic-persons Intelligent In religious doctrine, but
who until now wanted the hre.
As Q consequence, greater religious unity has
been felt among all classes Of Christians, alien
atoms between individuals and churches have
been broken down-all have imperceptibly flowed
together alike globules OF quicksilver"
Much OF this IL due TO America and the religious
enthusiasm Of her people. The speakers trusted
1t would be the cause Of greater unity between
the nations in future, and the incentive to in.
creased Christian work In this country.
