The Minneapolis Mail, speaking ct
the work or Moody and Sankey III
Europe, says: ss:5' 7'.'% 5ssA.l sf15 = :,
While Moody exhorted Sankey sang,
and sang likely airs that cau9A ti tie
popular, feeling saai welt as pleased the
ear. And Moody, with his contagious
earnestness, spoke with all Ills mind
and might on religious themes, in, tie
language: of common life, and. with
illustrations that excited to laughter Of
moved to tears: IS 1t hard to detect
the secret of their popularity THEY
have simply made 4 popular :rkli& !f03ub
entertainment. They have made ''peVi-
walls business-a'study, and succeeded.
4, If the subject were not So saReftftsd, hit
did not lie so near the profoundest SYM ,l,
pathies, and emotions. of the. heart, it
would he infinitely amusingsto read the
newspaper articles which, attempt, in
one way and another, to account for
the religious interest awakened Wher
ever Moody and Sankey have appeared.
1fthey had travelled from place to place,
like a Barnum Hippodrome, with hum
dreds Of men and llorses, and with gild-
ed chariots and all the peraphernnLalia
and performance of show, there would
be nothing: strange or unusual in:ths
fact that they attracted vastmultitudes.
But the fact is that two humble men,
without scrip in their purses or any
|trappings 'to attract attention, lave lave
gone over Great Britain simply preach
ing the gospel and singing gospel songs,
and they have produced :aaosensation
beyond that of all the shows. and hippo
dromes in the world. Since the days Of
John the Baptist and Of the Saviour,
few men, if any, have ever had s,such
multitudes thronging to hear them
speak, as have crowded to hear Moody,
and Jenny Line" and Nilsson never had
such vast audiences at their concerts as
have listened with tears to tile simple
"Ninety aud Nine" songs of Sankey.
Now, the Mail asks, is it hard to
detect the secret of their popularity %
Extremely hard, we think, for those
who attempt to detect it in any of the
laws which govern ordinary excitement.
Moody himself, we believe, accounts for
it by attributing the work to the Spirit
of God, and he is selected as an instru-
ment to reach men because of his entire
conservation to the aoork;. Here is hint
for Christian workers. Half consecr:a-
ton will secure only half success.
Moody is al uneducated man, unskilled
in the tricks OF showmen and politi-
clans, but. Something has put into his
hand the torch which sets the hearts of
men on FIRE!

TO PLow OK HOW no row, '1 ~
That Is the question. Dr.. Gottlelf
expresses the opinion that if the land
on which. gasshopper eggs are deposit.
ed is not plowed this fall, that most of
the eggs will hatch before winter, and
that, to a great extent, we could thus
be rid of the pests another year. It is
certain that two years ago a greatmany
grasshoppers Matched in the fall, but
whether the hatch was confined to the
plowed ground, Of whether, as is claim
ed by some; this, hatch was the product
OF eggs deposited by the June invasion
Of that year, we cannot say.
Others claim that, as Il rule, the
grasshopper eggs will not hatch until
the followin 6 year, and that the hatch
may toa great extent, be prevented by
deep blowing. Rev. Mr.. Smith, Mr..
People, ofDewald, and others, say that
last year there was no hatch on ground
Where they plowed deep.
