the opening sales. Early In tho day q general

MOODY AND SANKEY'S MEETINGS.
Cold Weather Lessons the Atendance-"A
Precursor of Judgment"

At the noon prayer meeting in the Hip
podrome yesterday the rear galleries were
empty, yet the congregation numbered about
live thousand. The arrangements for heating
the hall were found adequate, despite the cold
weather. One Of the 0rst ministers who took
his place on the platform was the Rev. DIR. Noah
Hunt schenck Of brooklyn, who, however, re-
tired to a gallery seat few minutes before the
evangclists entered. Tho other occupants Of
the platform included the Rev. Drs. stephen II.
Tying, Jr, ilolme, Marine, Ranney, Osborne,
Arnold, Hepworth, Carter; the Rev. Messrs.
Fulton, Wilson, Hamilton, Mathews. Lloyd,
Jones, Merritt, Goodno, Padalford, Pleisted,
clark, and Jerry McCauley OF the water street
mission.
Mr, Moody read from. Mathew, Come unto

Hamilton prayed.
In the evening about six thousand persons
were present. and for the first time for many
nights there were rows OF unoccupied seats.
The majority were not the class which customa-
rilv attends but were evidently from the lower
walks Of life. The appearance OF MANY OF them
