odst church last evening listen to disqusition on
the efforts OF Messrs. Moody and Sankey abroad by
the Rev Charles f. Harris The interior Of the build
ing has recently been Handsomely adorned Altogether
the services last evening both impressive and
inspiriting The Rev. Mr.. Harris arrived in New
York on the same steamer that brought oack
the great revivasts, and having been present at
several of their meetings we'll qualified speak OF
their performances in the cause of religion Mr. Harris
took his text from Acts, ill.,, 19"Repent ye there
fore and be converted that your sins may be botted
out when the times Of refreshing shall from the
presence of the Lord" The reverend gentleman after
some preliminary remarks on the text quoted pro-
ceeded TO point out the manner in which Mr.. Moody
and Mr. Sankey had accomplished their great religious
work abroad He remarked for instance, that Mr..
Moody possessed great deal Of practical common
and avoided docrinal discussions He was,
moreover very illustrative and sympathetic. and had
determined faith III his mission In London alone
1000 900 people heard him preach. Beyond ques-
ton he had given great stimulus TO religion. But he
entertained little doubt that at the commencement
of the movement Mr. Sankey contributed more TO its
success than Mr. Moody His enunciation was perfect
and his style of singing was altogether sufficient 20 rouse
any assemblage Between the two religion received
impetus altogether unlookedor Now the question might
arise would they be successful here He thought they
would be successful, though probably not to the same
extent as they were in England. The same element
that marked their abroad might not here
We are he said, familiar with Mr.. Moodys illustrative
style of preaching, while the English people perhaps
were not. Again, familiar with Mr.. Sankey's
style Of singing He might say that a mill
ion Sunday school children could repeat the words
and join in almost any hymn that Mr.. Sankey sung
These features, which were unknown in England,
might modify their successes here, but he believed
that they were men called by God to do noble work
In conclusion, the reverend gentleman committed the
great revivalss and their work TO God He gave them
his most unqualified approval and offered prayer for
their success. The reverend preacher finally gave a
glowing description of the departure OF Messrs Sankey
and Moody from Liverpool He said that the dock from
which the ugboat 10 convey the passengers to the
bound for New York 600 persons had formed

newspapers of the State of New Jersey the Board
Directors of the Newark Industrial Institute yielded

THE CHRISTIAN Observation-Disclosures BY
THE REV. SAMUEL NJ. HAMILTON.
Yesterday morning the Rev. Samuel NJ Hamilton
preached in tho Scotch Presbyterian church. Four
tcenth street. Fifth and Sixth avenues for the
first time since his late return from Europe. His text
was taken from the Gospel according to 81. Matthew,
xviii Sand when they had lifted up their eyes they
saw no man, but Jesus only"
In the course of his sermon the eloquent preacher
said that when Christ transhgured before His peo
pie Moses and Elias the prophet talked with Him.
They came as the representatives of the law and the
prophets at the feet of the Mediator This trans
fguration was the most momentous event
that had occurred in the worlds history.
Peter was the first from SURPRISE and while
he yet spoke cloud passed over them out Of which
came a voice which said "This is my beloved Son, in
whom am well pleased" Peter may have been dis
appointed when he found that the kingdom Of heaven
was yet at hand But faith in Christ, who abides
with forever, must teach us TO watch and watt and
it is only through faith strengthened by good works,
that
