The pastor Of the Tabernacle said yesterday in con-
versaon with reporter:'In England the success Of
Moody and Sankey accounted Tor by critics the
plea that 1t novelty. My opinion is that they will
be more successful here, because Americans are more
| mpressibe. Religious fire here is kindled quicker
Brooklyn is much better place than Philadelphia in
which to begin the revival work. lived in that city
would think, take greater effort to produce i'm
preston The of Moody's is his perfect
trust in God He has faith that never falters When
q man puts his trust IN God God will see him through
REV DR. cUYLER's OPINION.
Brookyn IS good place Tor the revivaliss TO begin
their work in Ours IS homogeneous community. 1t
differs from New York. New York has aristocratic
element and mobocratc element 1t will be easier TO
work revival in New York after some other American
city shall have the example The of Moodys
success in England lay in the fact that he conducted
his meetings business principles He began on the
minute, preached but short time, and never tired his
audience. But, better than all, Mr.. Moody preached
with heart overfowng with love for God and for his
! fellow Sankey is wonderful man. His singing
is magnetic; II is preaching and song, and when at
the meeting last evening" Hold the Fort and Ninety
nine were sung. the effect on the assembled clergy
grand. Sankey says he wants help in starting the
singing for just week, and after that the people
| wall attend to the singing themselves. Mr. Moody was
not decided begin his revival in Brooklyn until he
attended the meeting on Thursday night"
Mr. Moody has returned 20 Mortified, Mass where
| he will remain until October 80
