EVENING MEETINGS.
AcCEssIoNs TO TIE ARMY OF lNQU1RENs.
The mems meeting at Farwell lIall from Q 10
10 o'clock last evening was marked by an In
creased attendance and as tis,lal was m occa~
sion OF great Interest nnd freedom. Mr.. Moody
scems to get nearer to the men here tllan he
can at the other meetings, aud results arc reach,
cd which he would hnrlly look for In promis~
cuous audience.
Tho opening prayer was by Mr.. 8. A. Kean,
and, aftor singing Mr.. Moody called for texts
Of Scripture TO show TINT God Is able to keep
those who give their hearts to Him. Tic rcc1tcd
as Ills verse: j" For l the Lord God will hold thy
right hand, saying. fcar not will help thcc."
Another gave, "Thou wilt keep him In perfect
pcace whose mind Is stayed on Thee, because he
trilstcth In Thee"
Another, "Nctl1er life nor death, nor things
present nor thinga to come, nor height nor
depth, nor any other creature, shall ho able to
separate us from tho lovo OF God which is In
Christ Jesus our Lord"
Another, "t1c ever 1ivcth to mako interccsslon
for us;' another, ~ nm persuaded that lilo is
allo to keep that which I havo committed unto
Him against that day." This exercise was con-
tlnued for nearly quarter Of an hour,
and in that company Of men, tho
| most Of whom, thrce months ago,
wcro quoting anything clse rather than tho
Word OF God, there was evidence Of sueh famj-
iarlty with those texts which came closest to
human souls as speaks we'll for tho intelligence
md future usefulness Of these revival converts.

| tcmatic study, and, what vas more remarkable,
although tho exercise was kept up 60 long, al
tho Inst thcre WIS no luck oi texts which hit
tho subject plump on thu centre, and whlcl, llad
| not been quoted before.
| Experiences were next called for, and d large
number Of men told Just how tlloy passed over
tho limo which divides death mud life. Among
these we're two confirmed iniltleis, b'it yer, were
said: ~ had made up my mind that there WAS
