TIE CHICAGO NAN m LONDON.

The London Duly Neacs says:
Mr.. Moody's style of preaching,
rs demonstrated in this address, does
not lack impressivenese of a kind.
It is true that he is extremely diff
fuse, that he is unconnected, ramb-
ling, and given to repetition; that
he "squanders himself" If the ex-
preston is allowable, SO that he dill
utes his climax often into an anti
climax But he is full of pith, and
manifests great eainestness he Is
continually saying quaint, racy
things, such as we are unaccustomed
to hear from pulpit, such as are
often intensely grotesque and not
unfrequenty raise an audible laugh.
His manner of treatment is not by
argument, far less by rhetoric, but
by dint of more or less opposite ill
ustrations. He works by citation OF
instances, which he narrates III his
own phraseology, and the ever re-
curing Americanisms have a mai
vete which to an English audience
has a fresh and novel effect The
truth which he laid himself out to
enforce and illstrate was that Goods
ways were not as meu's ways and
that he chose his instruments on Il
principle which to men appeared
passing strange, and sometime III
deed absurd, from their human point
of view. He said that what he
feared most in coming to this work
in London, was lest many should he
learning on the arm OF the flesh,
and on the influence of great
meeting" and so would be getting
their eyes away from God. "There's
no new Gospel" he exclaimed; "it'~
the old story. The world Of to-day
Is always running alter something
new but if you come here expecting
novelty, | tell you you'll be dispoint-
ed" Their message was the same as
that Of these ministers--and with u
it is in weakness too for there arr
hundreds Of men in London car
preach better nor we eau What W,
want is to look right straigh. away
from men, right straight up to God

he must work in his own way, ano
all we're going TO so is to mark out
channels for the Holy Ghost. Goo

Why the Order wa. Passed.

The reasons for calling upon brokers
connected with the San Francisco Stock
and Exchange Board to settle up their
accounts yesterday. are thus given by tho
Aia. They will readily DO recognized
as sound and just:
Il appears that four or fvo Of the
members Of the Board. who had CON-
siderable coin on hand at the closing
took advantage Of tho mild resolution
which permitted tho members to settle
accounts ut their own convenience, aud
delivered what they had going out to
those that would accept, and thus added
considerably TO tho largo amount OF
coin they already had on hand. In
stead OF receiving stock with the money
thus obtained or win their own capital,
they refused 10 accept any. but on tho
other hand loaned this aud their surplus
money at the ratio Of az 10 3 per cent.
per month TO their fellow brokers. An
tho balance Of the members had boen
receiving and were eIsrting their utmost
to unravel the sntanglements tho busi-
ness was In, very nearly all the transao-
tons Of tho last two days were closed,
and II these mon had hut attended to the
receiving Of the stock coming to them.
instead OF blocking the business by their
re~fusals, tho above peremptory notice
would never have been issued, and all
the transactions would have been set
tied.
Tho resolution Ii aimed directly st
these men, and II already has Ind d sal
utary effect. by compelling them to 70.
ceive that stock which they should have
taken In weeks ago. From our conver-
sations with brokers, this order OF tho
committee Is mot intended 70 affect
stocks bought on o margin, and for
which contracts are outstanding. but to
close up the business Of the last two
days Of the session. and prepare tho way
for its resumption. But Il Is expected
that this leniency will mot be taken adj
vantage OF by those who W brokers.
but that they will ahow q dispatch In
settling their accounts.a II the custom.
srs who are thus situated will exert
themselves 10 pay mp the balances due
ON their contracts or mako them secure,
they may mys them themselves consid-
erable annoyance and expense, besides
assisting In preventing anything like o
severe decline. Tho course OF thu brok-
srs will DO governed by tho condition Of
the money market when they resume
business. II thoy can secure accommo.
dations to carry over their marginal %
toners, these lattor will DO saved from
further loss, but 10 not, the fsw Who
will be unable 10 pay for their stocks
will have TO be sold out. We, there-
fore, advise all who are thus situated to
hurry up and settle their accounts.
