NtooDys MOST FAMOUS sERMONs-HIs THEME
"THE BLOOD "-MEETISG THE ARGUMENTS OF
OPPONENTS.
For the benefit OF people living out of the
city, and who anxious 70 attend the Hipp0drome
meetings when sermon preached, Mr. Moody has con
scented to hold services in e afternoon at o'clock ana
10 preach G same sermon in the evening. The first
Of these meetings held yesterday The bah was very

Mr.. Sankey sang "The Ninety and Nine" While
the audience listened with breathess attention.
In many or tho most effective Of the hymns that have
ensung recently no as been assisted by Mr. Thatcher
of Boston, who at Mr. Sankey's request, will probably
remain In Ncw-YOr until the revival closes. Mr. Moodys
subject was c Blood and for extreme care IN plela-
ration foraptoss and force OF raons, and for show
ing great knowledge ofthe Bible This sermon wasper-
haps the noteworthy that he has yet delivered here
1t a an old sermon, but it has been rem0dclcd
and improved frequently. The yosts views IN gen
eral have usually escaped sharp criticism even from
those considered to be the less orthodox follow
.ers OF Christianity But the sermon on "Thc Blood"
invoices some opposition and criticism in certain quar-
tors MI Moody anticipated this ana meets the argu-
ment his usual blunt and direct way In his
prayer before tAe he said: Keep Thy servant
from teaching any error. When he had opened ms re-
marks he referred 70 the blood, saying: "That scarlet
line begun it's way back in Eden. and runs all
through the Bible; is tho scarlet thread that binds the
leaves"
