THE COMING REVIVAL.
The religious community seem intent
religion, not because there is any special
interest among the unconverted, but the
churches are agitsting the question, and
although they are not united a. 10 the
method of bringing about this much need
ed reform, they are all of one opinion that
the present time is the season when all
Christian bodies should make one grand
effort, to start, and carry on, revival OF
religion, which shall be so widespread a.
TO reach every class OF people. Every ef-
fort has been made. 10 secure the services
Of the celebrated revivalsts, Moody aud
Sankey, in this city; but their engage
ments are such. that they cannot probably
come until late in the season, So the work
ers here. have wisely decided 10 do what
they can among themselves. and trust In
Providence, that the blessing shall come.
for it would seem like doubling Gods pow
er and grace to sit down with folded hands
and await the coming Of these men, as
though they alone. had been appointed by
God as his special agents
GEN. KILPATRICK
lectured last evening in the Boston The
atre TO q crowded house on the Irish SOL
der in the War OF the Rebellion" The
Gen. has lost none of the old fire aud en-
thusiasm with which he has spoken for the
last seven years. In fact he carries with
him to the platform, the same nervous en-
er.y. dash and enthusiasm which made
him SO renowned on the field OF battle.
He elsctrifes his audiences, and makes
them laugh or cry as he pleases. His fund
of humor is almost unequalled and his re-
markable faculty of telling q story is eX-
celled by none except Cough. After he
has described battle scene in his thrilling
they had really been there themselves.
Every one listened with delight to the lect-
ure and the audience testified their appre-
citation by present outbursts of applause.
DR.. HANS Won BULOW
the celebrated pianist OF whom / wrote
last week, has been engaged for series Of
six concerts in Music Hall in this city.
during the month Of January. He will be
accompanied by the Boston Philharmonic

Thomas Orchestra, and is the the finest
combination OF solo talent in America.
Won Bulow gave the last concert of the Sc

afternoon, and the enthusiasm was almost
unbounded.
THE NEW ENGLAND CHURCH
is the name OF the new society recently
started by the Rev. w. II. II. Murray. The
Music Hall, where the services are held. is
filled to repletion every Sabbath morning.
The singing is remarkably fine, by a quar-
tette OF our best professional singers. and
q chorus of ESQ voices which makes by
far the best choir that can be heard in the
city. The sermons of Mr.. Murray are also
OF the highest order both Intellectually and
spiritually, SO It cannot be wondered at,
that hundreds 60 away, because not even
standing room can be had. And yet. when
q stranger first hears this popular preach
er, he cannot help querying. where
the charm lies, that draws so many people
to him for he is not sensational, but ii is
because he breaches Christ and Him cru
cited. Z.
