Moody AND SANKEY'S FAREwELL.-Messrs.
Moody and Sankey's farewell meeting for
Young converts, eld in the great depot
building in Phila., last Friday morning, was
a grand success Every seat in the vast
audience room was filed, the front part of
the house being occupied with the young
converts, numbering from 5000 to 1000,
TO whom tickets had been issued on per-
sonal application. About one hundred and
fifty pastors of city churches, Judges of the
Supreme Court, and other eminent citizens,
representing nearly every position and
calling, were upon the platform. 1t is pro-
bable that at none of Mr.. Moody's meetings
has there been present a more intelligent
and appreciative audience. Mr.. Moody
made most appropriate and effective
address to the young converts, and his
parting words of advice and farewell pro
duced a profound impression, while Mr..
Sankey's closing song of praise melted the
audience to tears After the benediction
was pronounced multtudes remained in
and about the building, reluctant to with
draw from place endeared by so many re-
markable associations, and the scene of the
greatest religious meeting ever held on this
continent. The evangelists left for Prince
ton where they spent the Sabbath, reaching
New FORK on Monday, in time to begin
their services in the Hippodrome there that
evening.
