DRoME
Yesterday was the last day of the Hippodrome meet
ngs the crowds that congegated around the build
ing could only counted by Of thousands At the
MONDAY meeting which was opened by the singing
OF tho hymn sSweet Hour OF Prayer" number Of
quests for prayer were read by Rev. d.. Hepwortht
among them from lonely sister far away in Europe
and far away from Christ An almost countless number
from dlsconsoate wives for Incorporate husbands
and many from sisters for their only brothers
Rev. DR.. ConckIyn offered the prayer calling on God
bless the people who had attended these meetings
during the past weeks and also TO bless those who
trying work this great and wicked city from ts
centre TO its circumference In the cause Of Christ
After Dr. Concklyns address Mr.. Moody came forward
and SAID that Of the 5000 had yet TO be
raised ana no expected to raise 1t that day. Ho
thought there would be difficulty when the Christian
people OF New York would become aware OF the neces-
sy Of keeping up tho work that had already been In.
augurated
Mr. Moody sermon yesterday afternoon when at least
1900 people were present, was 'Christian Work"
He said there use of imagining that the work
had stopped now. This was only the beginning OF It
All ten weeks had been occupied in preaching and
praying and bringing souls to Christ but now COM
menced the work OF those who converted
by the preaching and the singing and the praying.
They were to go out among all mon and proclaim tho
Gospel OF Jesus Christ and Him cracncd ami, though
they might be scocd at looked down upon snecrcd
laughed at stll remain disciples Of the Lord Jesus
who saved them. This their mission and their life.
In Titus ill., g. we dnd-.This is faithful saying ana
these things will that thou affirm constantly that they
which have believed In God might be careful 70 man-
tain good works These things are good anu profitable
unto mon.
This is what we want; men who capable to main.
tain good works. Let them and do good 10 thcm
who poorer than they. Ii these who over
loaded with riches would just sit in their Offices and
send their clerks TO those who doing Gods work Il
would be no more than what is right Why should the
OF the Lord be running after the Mann
mony These men should be running after tho men
who do the work OF the Lord that they have place
In the Kingdom to come
Last night at halfpast seven o'clock tho Madison
opened at all All those therefore who occupied the
hall had procured tickets during the last few days,
which were intended for converts only. About quar-
or the thirty-nnth hymn ~ love to tell the story, .
and them after prayer by Rev DR.. Booth, Mr. Sankey
sung, 'ShaIl we meet beyond the rivcrg"
Mr.. Moody spoke on the wcrd sAbcn He said
III you young convert In the morning Of your Christian
experience learn this one lesson that Christ is able to
make you stand that is all you want He able 10
make Daniel stand. He able to make John Bun
yam stand But II all lies with yourself Once rely
vengeance and trbulation. The only thing is 10 Keep
close TO Christ Many man falls into but yet he is
not lost; for the world and the Church expects more
from man than he give. II you overtaken in
fault go God and confess There is one thing YOU
must guard yourself against, and that is self conf
dence Short accounts make good friends Keep short
account with God See the lace or your Heavenly
Father before you see the face OF and don't walk
out in tho morning before you have settled the
with God
Mr.. Moody said, in conclusion If there was anything
during all these meetings he Ind to he thankful
the utter want OF any feeling OF scctariansm Baptsts
Methodsts, Congregnti0nalsts Prcsbyterans Episcu.
palians all sects these meetings one com.
mon footing the love Of the Lord Jesus Christ and,
therefore, as Christians and he hoped IL would always
be SO. this principle OF unity. ~ hope,n
sac sad Mr. Moody, u will see the day. when
for they are as good Christians any among US, and
that all who stand by that blessed Name will advance
in solid column against the works Of tho world, the
flesh and the devil Before going wish to ask
the blessing Of God the reporters, with
out whose kind cooperation this work would
never have obtained lis magnitude in New

portals and the remen who exertcd all powers to
prevent accident And after ten weeks let all
pray Tor the reporters, the policemen and the rcmen,
for all have done their duty. Let bow our heads in
