WOMEN MORE NJ NERVOUS AT THE EARLY MEETING
THAN THE WAREHOUSES; FOR PIAYEIs-
COPS FORGIVENESS OF SIN.
Temporal affairs and the excitement of the
elections have not altogether absorbed the interest OF tho
people Of Brooklyn during the last few days The revival
movement has gone before with little or no dim
mutton either the ervor of the preachers or in the
number OF those who to listen. The Tabernacle was
as crowded as usual yesterday morning. The character
aud appearance Of The audience showed litte change
Not 30 many Of the prominent Brooklyn olergymen were
present has been the heretofore and in the BODY
OF the audience less number Of mcn than usual
was visible. Nothing, however, could deter the zeai
Of the women. They were there puncual 10 the hour

from all parts of Brooklyn, and apparently as much I'M
pressed by the earnest words OF Mr.. Moody ms by the
singing of Mr.. sankey Among the cergymen Oh the
platform were the DR.. scudder OF Brooklyn, and
the Rev. DIR. Burchard Of NewYOrl The Rev. Mr. Reed
OF the Episcopal Church the Rev Mr.. Hall Of Washing

Hawey and George A. Bell participated In the EXERCISES
These began with the singing of " Even Me- by the
audience While the hymn being sung Mr. Moody
entered and was followed by Mr. sankcy who took
his place at the organ. The revival singer began inme-
diaely with the hymn, "Pass Me Not" This was
followed by silent prayer and the reading OF re-
quests by T.. W. Hawey for prayer for the
of relatives and friends This reading OF re-
quests is becoming prominent feature OF the move
was slow. Yesterday morning, however. the requests
numbered over 600 and several OF them were made by
persons vino asked for themselves instead o Or

"Four requests from sinners" Fourteen from friends

After prayer nv the Rev. Mr.. Hail. Mr.. Sankey sang
for the first time in Brooklyn, "What Friend we have
in Jesus" The sweet words Of the hymn, added TO the
effect of their rendering by the singer produced per-
ceptibe impression al present lt ls noticeable IN
the morning meetings that Nh Moody recognizes the diff
ferent character OF s audiences which are in the main
more intellectual than those which h the Rink in the
evening aud INDUCES less In extended narrative ano

when the meeting is thrown open FOR general hsc
sion ii may assume definite and not a diiiuse ond
rambling character.
Mr. Moody was earnest yesterday morning. but not as
for,ble in manner he usually is at the Rink. He made
the third fourth and fh Of the 1O% Psalm the
subject of his remarks in which he said there were fnc
words grand signi which he emphasized ~ fol-
lows: % He forgreH all sins :" (2) lie heaieth Gil
thy diseases :" 90 He rdecacit from destruction;
(f He crowneth with loving kinduess;' J) " lie
satiGfeh mouths with good things" Substantially nc
said believers NOT 10 forget in their prayers
that certain sins had been forgiven and forgotten and con-
sequenty did not need lobe repeated
that the power to overcome sin given by God wrh
His forgiveness "The Lord will forgive thine inquties
now and only forgive but also forget IL is said in
the prophecy of Ezekiel that God will never mention
them They rolled into the great ocean OF eternity
In illustration, Mr. Moody said suppose my little child
does something which she has been lOld not 10 do and
comes 10 me In childish and repentance kiss
away her tears and tell her not mention it further that
she forgiven Now if she refused 10 forget, aud 1e
peatc her requests for forgiveness OF the sins OF yeSer
day, you think il would rieye Inc And yet such
is the conduct Of n great many Christians OF to-day
After Mr.. Moody look his seat remarks were made by
several persons. The Rev Mr.. Ladd related by way OF
encouragement that in the meeting of Monday night he
sat by the side gentleman whom he was inclined TO
question about his relations with Christ and after hall
an hours conversation had the satisfaction Of leading
him to his Savior He also said That The prayer OF lady
at the Simpson VI T. Church. Tuesday night, had inii-
enced two women to seek Jesus.
AT the the meeting there We're many requests
for PRAYER. which offered 10y Mr.. Moody, In suppl
cation the five precious word, of his text might be
verified in the experience Of all present Inquiry meet

was conducted by Mr.. sankey About fifty persons re-
