THE RELIGIOUS MOVEMENT.
The revival movement in Brook
lyn has been inauyurated by Moody
and Sankey, and it gives every indi
cation of q great success. The Sc
ries of meetings commenced Sunday
morning last, in the grea. Sk4Inlg
Rink, in Brooklyn, which has ceI,
fitted up for the purpose. II was a
sight TO see the crow d that came hat
Sunday morning. The ferries from
New York were crowded, the street
cars were loaded, AMI every possible
public and private conveyance was
charged TO iis utmost capacity. The
meeting al the Rink was advertised
1t 8 A. NJ, and the building would
seat 1000. At 6 in the morning

less than 10000 anxious people.
awaiting the opening of the building.
They came in street cars, in carria-
ges, in wagons, on horseback, in aud
on everything that would carry, aud
on foot, and they waited aud waited
two long hours. Finally, the doors
opened and the first 1000 found
seats, 1900 more stood in the aisles,
and the crowd outside, nugmenting
every minute, stood on their feet,
waiting and waiting, as though they
expected the roof would fly of, or
that in some miraculous way they
would be enabled to see aud hear
Moody and Sankey. Finally, of
course, they dispers, d.

pleading TO their fell w men to be
better men. Dwigh' L. Moody. ro
bust, strong. earnest man, who be
lieves that Jesus of Nazareth came
into the world to save sinners-a
plain, uncducated man-begging ard
en,rea,ing his fellows put ,hei,
trus. in Him rs he has done-a m4n
without grace, without psli.h, wlthou
even good grammar--but man
whose soul is permeatei aud flied
with the one idea ,ha, without, Jesus
q man must be lost, and who loves
his fellow men TO the degree that he
is willing to forego all the ambitious
of lie SO that he can rescue them
that is Moody. Hi, c,-labore. is
jus, like him in purpose, though d If.
trent in method. Ira ID. Sankey is a
handsome man, with soul full Of
love for his fellows, and u voice like
an angel. What Mo, dy does in
speech he does in song. He .ing-
only such songs AS hold up to thel,
gaze CHRIS, on the Cross diving for
sinners-he sings only Of that love
deep enough to take in the vilrst and
broad enough for world OF trans.
gressors. This is their only theme
this all they say o. sing. 1t is the
old story, the beauty and sweetness
of which even the infidel never could
make head against-of He who SO
loved the world that He gave Hi,
own life to save it. This Moody
talks and this Sankey sings. 1t is
love, lore, love. Moody holds his
audiences by telling the story of Je
sus, who would suffer death for one
sinner; Sankey, with his wondrous
voice, sings Of that Saviour who, ha,
ing the ninety and nine, went out
through the night and storm, through
The tangled brake for the one. Aud
the effect they produce is wonderful
They say aud sing nothing new. but
they are in dead earnest themselves,
and though their story be old, they
impress everybody.
They inject into their hearers their
own earnestn-ss-they compel them
20 receive il, because they believe it.
And that they are in earnest, there
can be 10 doubt. They might have
