The Meetings at the ExpOsItIOn-The
EuOrIs OF Messrs WhittIe and
BLISS MOI successful with Memphis
sinners.
Last night our religious reporter Wis
tied the Exposition building and found
it contained about one thousand people,
quite a falling of from Sunday night.
Mr.. White exhorted vigorously and
quoted c%opiously from the scriptures TO.
show that Christ died for the redemption
Of man His system of exhorting is new
in u city, He holds a reference book
in his hand, and after exhorting for
awhile, looks at his note book and calls
upon some clergyman to read certain Sc
lected verses from the bible. On each
verse being read he goes on exhorting
for a few minutes and then calls for an
other verse, and 30 on. At the close of
his discourse he asks sinners to arise
from their seats and remain standing
while Mr.. and Mrs. Bliss sing a hymn.
The latter commence and usually sing
Come to Jesus" with melodeon accom-
paniment. Mrs. Bliss has a very sweet
soprano voice, which adds considerable
to the musical effect produced by Mr..
Bliss, who throws into his singing all the
art usual with good vocaliats. Last
night no one arose in response to the re-
peated invitations Of Mr.. white, who
then asked AL who believe in Christ" to
arise and be prayed for. This more d.
rect appeal caused nine to stand up dur
ing the prayer. Occasionally Mr.. Whit
tie will announce the hymn, saying that
vt can be found on page ~ etc.
This reference is to the "hymn
book used by the reyivalists
at their meetings, and which book can
be purchased for thirty cents per copy.
The success Of Messrs. Whittle aud Bliss
has been very fattering in drawing large
and respectable audiences, but they have
failed in creating any religious excite
ment in sinful circles, and but few have
so far responded to their religious APP
peals.
Memphis is unlike a small town; It is
not emotional to any great degree, and
for the reason that it is too cosmopolitan
in its experience and taste. The con.
slant draft made upon the emotions by
theaters and exhibitions Of various kinds
is apt 70 clog the appetite and produce
what the French call ennui. In cities
people become accustomed to excite
ment, and it requires something excess
siyely startling to wake them up on any
subject. If Mr.. Whittle was an orator
and learned biblical scholar the effect
would be much greater at these REVEALS,
but being neither, he fails to satisfy the
fastidious taste Of his Memphis hearers.
The large attendance nightly that
we are a religious people, and are pre-
disposed to attend and support all reli-
gious movements. In thus drawing to-
gether a large number of religious pee
pie Messrs. White and Bliss have been
successful, but no further; yet their visit
will be regarded as awakening q reli-
gious sentiment, which may hereafter
produce a harvest in the fields Of sin and
