bered by thousands. HIS farewell meeting In
Edinburgh had to be held cut In the fields, for
the whole city attended II. The movement
spread, and 1t seemed as though Scotland was
to be turued upside down bv lhese two revival
ists and the assistants they sent out. Brother
Moody went to Glasgow. where tens OF thou
sands Hooked to hear him. by after div, and
tho whole communi WAS alive with the re-
vival, which grew so mighty that few were rash
enough to oppose It. There were special meet
ings for men, and others for women, and still
Others for children, and yet others for shop
girls; and even the workingmen IN the snip
y rds held meetings during their dinner hour.
At one meeting niuo Thousand young women
were present, and at another nine thousand
young men, though half of the anxious crowds
could not get In. On another occasion fifty
thousand people gathered In the open air to
listen to Moody, aud bOth he and Sankey were
heard by the entire multitude TIL half past ten
at night. Moody and sankey went to many
other places In Scotland. In Dundee the at
tendance at the open-air meetings ran from ten
to sixteen thousand people, aud In Aberdeen
from twelve to twenty thousand. Notthward
they went as far as John O'Groats house,
preaching and singing everywhere to the crowds
10 open places.
Moody next went over to Ireland. and held his
FIRST meeting at Belfast, where the scenes we
have described were repeated and outside meet
ings held. At one meeting 800 men were con-
verified. lie next went to Dublin, where he
preached In the Exhibition Palace, had many
Romin Catholics In his audiences, and was sup.
ported ny 7bJ clergymen. People came from M
over Ireland to the meetings, though they were
discountenanced by CARDINAL Cullen and the
Episcopal Archbishop.
From Ireland he went back TO England. and
carried on operations after tho same ishion,
and with great success. at Manchester, where
every house In the city WIS visited by his volun-
tecr assistants, at shefleld. ut Birmi here
he addressed some 1900 people lily. at Liver
pool where he held eighteen services a week,
and finally he reached London, where $4,000
had been raised to meet the expenses, where he
was sustained by LOO cerxymcn, and where no
reached both the mscrablY poor aud the mlser-
ably rich. At his FIRST meetings 10 Agricultural
Hall no had audiences OF 1900; the Inquiry
meetings we're Away crowded with penitents.
and he preached twice daily for eleven weeks
lie then went to the East End OF London, among
the humber classes, and met still other multi
tudes In Bow Rold Hall: then he went to the
West End. and preached In the Royal Opera
House to the fashionable classes. including
members OF the royal households then he
preached at both ends, driving hastily from one
to the other, I'LL the London revival had become
awonder that excited all the newspapers. Then
he went 10 South London, and preached In
Cdmberwell Hall. which had been erected for
him. Jews, Roman Catholics and iundsl., as
well ~ Protestant sinners, were converted, and
he feipiced over more than ten thousand souls
which he had won In London alone.
II was certainly an extr ordinary tour which
Moody snd Sankey had made through Great
Brit IN and Ireland. From London, they came
To this country last year, and their operations
since then In Northneld. Brooklyn, Philadelphia,
and this city, are familiar to everybody. The
style Of Moody's preaching abroad was precisely
like that now TO he heard IN the Hippodromc.
In hts meetings at every RI CO, Moody has always
insisted on quetness and order, aud none Of
those Wild excitements often seen at other re-
WV Is, ever appeared 10 connection with him.
We are also told that these men never work
for paw, but merely ask that their expenses
should be met At IN, places they visit.
The author Of this book does not give any
an lysls OF Noodys secret power" referred to
in the Introduction; but It Is evident that
Brother Moody Is a shrewd and practical man (;
that he IA an extraordinary worker; that he Is a
skilfu organizer; that he knows how to control
and affect mutitudcs Of people that he Is very
much In earnest that he confines himself to "A
few OF tue leading IDEAS OF Christianity; that he
understands the art OF putting his reli gion into
plain language for the common mind and that
he fully appreciates the value OF his co-laborsr.
Brother Sankey.
