ers, but simply as temperance workers,
under The auspices OF the Young
Mems Christian Association, more
generally known as the murphy
movement" lie spoke briefly OF Mr..
Murphy's history, aud his success
in Pittsburgh, where during fourteen
weeks 100000 persons had signed the
pledge Of total abstinence. The move.
ment, he maintained, was nOn.sectarian
and non-politiCal. Their mode Of work.
ing was to relate in simple manner their
experience, telling what intemperance
had done for them, and thus induce many
to sign the pledge. They not only want
men who drinI; liquor to sign, but
also those who do not drink. 1t
is good deal easier to say come
and sign than go and sign. One class
they wanted to sign the pledge was the
church members, both male and female,
many Of whom, he knew, were in the
habit Of keeping wine and liquor in their
houses. A man cannot drink whisky and
be a Christian--whenever whisky goes in
a man, the spirit Of God goes out. Before
taking his seat he introduced to the au-
dienCc Mr.. Mark +. Wilson, brother
who had been converted at Pittsburgh,
and who would relate his experience.

The announcement that the new fen.

"the Murphy movement would be intro
duced in the city last evening" by Cou-
pie ofMr. Mnrphy's Pittsburgh converts,
at the Fourth Street NJ. l.. Church, filled

tilthS Of those present were Of The weaker
sex.
Mr.. L. N. Dunbar, one Of the
gentlemen expected 10 address the meet.
ing, came forward about 1880 o'clock and
invited all the ministers present 10 come
forward and take seats on the platform,
and the members Of the different choirs
TO come 10 the front and assist in the
singing He then gave ont hymn called
"All Hail Thy Welcome Voice." OF the
Moody and Sankey collection, which he
stated was Brother MurphyS iAvoritC."
The congregation joined in singing the
hymn, after which Mr.. Dunbar read
the second chapter Of the General
Epistles OF James. His object, he
explained, in reading the passage,
was 10 show that we are more APT TO no.
tee rich person than u poor person.
The ones that's are reached by the so.cSlled
murphy movement" are those that are
lowest. When a man has an empty
stomach, can you ask him to join the
church or sign the pledge? His stomach
must first be filled-iaith without works
will not avail.
Rev. Kelley then offered an earnest
prayer, asking God to answer the pray.
era Of his people here as He has else.
where. and redeem men here as He has
elsewhere. The congregation then sang
a hymn beginning "What a friend We
have in Jesus" after which Mr.. Dunbar
delivered a brief address.
