is to bo this morriug at o'clock, when he will
preach TO dissatisfied Christians to persons
who call Themselves Christians and who are dis
ga iencd with God, but to Christians who are |
dlssatis Ged with themselves and th. ir works. |
The building was not so crowded yesterday as
to render necessary or desirable any dimnutiOn |
uf the attendance. but the evangelist seems to |
have adop ed tactics that will relieve the meet
ings Of the overwhelming nun Der Of complacent |
Cnriatlaus who day after day oil the Rink and |
the Tabernacle, frequently excluding those who
the preacher thinks might be benefited. This
trouble will bo met I'm Philadelphia by having a
building that will accommodate throng as
large as any that has surged disappointed IN
and about the Rink. The committee there have
| hired the old depot, have enclosed II, provided
| heating apparatus, aud have already purchased

ranged IN tho Brooklyn building
