A Great Revival.

We determined to go over to the Hippodroms aud

thronged was the place OF meeting that It seemed
almost useless TO attempt making our way
through the immense and eager crowd, but from
the distance there came floating upon the air the
thrilling and favorite hymn CT Moods, Hold
the Fert." Inspired by the music which came
from the multitude OF voices, we pushed man.
fully on, and succeeded in reaching q point
near the entrance. Here We halted, for
Moodg's workers were already in the
field, and great seemed TO be the
harvest. One of them stopped near us
and saiuting handsomely dressed indlsidusl,
said: 4Friend are you Christian" He smiled,
and answered. II done know; came here to-
night to hear Moody preach; two years ago was
