The people every where outside of this
city, and lar away beyond the mount.ns Of
Pennsylvania and New England are waiting ana
looking anxiously for the appearance Of the Inn
pending revival In New York. They think that
II must be the great event In the history Of the
metropolis. They know how extensive are the
preparations for It, how hundreds OF clergymen
are interested In IL, ind how the lesser revival
lists now operating all over the city are going TO
turn their forces into II. The churches through.
out the country are 10 pray for its success. No
wonder that MOODY and SANKEY feel nervous
about It. 1t was easy for them To draw IA do
nestle suburb like Brooklyn, or In such place
as Philadelphia; but they have no assurance OF
success in New York. There seems To be an Inn
preston among people who live far away from
us, that this Is an extraordinarily wicked city,
and that the sinners here are more bodstful and
hardened than anywhere else. Such an lmpres-
sion leads outsiders who don't know the town
TO suppose that II can be- affected by nothing
less than some volcanic revival, some religious
earthquake, and that the faint voices OF MOODY
and SANKEY Will he lost In the roar of deviltry.
They speak OF this place as the "modern Sodom,"
and indulge IN other strong figures Of speech
when they refer to II. These notions, ne every
New Yorker knows, are greatly ex Rgerated.
We have some very rough sinners here, but they
don't constitute the whole population. Oh, no.
II MOODY and sANKEY do their work here
properly, In the way pointed out to them by
THE Sun, which shines all over New York, and
into all It's creyicos, they may be as successful
an JONAH was IN Nineyeh.

1t is interesting to recall the fact, at this
time Of revivals, when so many laymen are turn
Ing preachers here aud there, that the earliest
preacher of the Methodist denomination in this
country was a carpenter, PHILIP EMBURY, one
OF a group Of Irish immigrants. 1t was In this
city, in the year l700 that be nrst induced to
preach, which he did in his own house, and had
but five hearers. The movement thus begun
soon resulted In the building of the little old
church still to be seen down In John street, and
his denomination has since then grown to be
the largest In this country. The present revival
Is turning a great number OF laymen into preach
ers. We hear Of them from all quarters.

A real temperance revival has broken
out In the East Two years ago the women In
the West arrayed themselves against Intern
perance, and endeayored to stop the sale Of
spritnous liquors by appeals, songs, and pray
ers. In a few cases they even resorted to yio-
lence. The movement spread throughout the
country, but resulted only In a TEMPORARY lull
IN the trafic, and few conversions. Now the
reform has commenced on the seacolst OF New
England. From Gloucester the revival has
swept over Cape Ann, and Is spreading into the
Interior. II baptlzes alike the hardy old salt

This is better religion than that which some Of
the eloquent and fashionable preachers OF THIS
