MoODY AND SANKEY IN BURLINGTON
During the week past the interest in the
meetings conducted by Messrs. Moody and
Sankey, strong from the first, has visibly
increased. More of them have been held,
and they have been attended by increasing
throngs, exceeding the capacity of our most
capacious churches There has been moth
ing sensational, no wild excitement, no
pushing forward OF hearers into hasty,
insincere, or mistaken commitments to
the service of God but deep and solemn
interest has pervaded all of them. Meet
ings intended for those who have made
no profession of religion, and from which
church members were requested to stay
away to give room for others, have crowded
the City Hall to Ovcrh1wing. The attend
ance at inquiry meetings has been mug
pered by hundreds; crowded prayer meet
ings have remained an hour at time on
their knees. in earnest supplication. The
conversions have been numerous: but the
work has been mainly OF character to lay
the foundation for a stronger and wider
work in future.

Montpelier, October 10th and llth. The

Drs. X. X. Clark and ii. 5. Calderwood,
giving the history, symptoms and treat
history of fifty five cases with eleven deaths.
