at last the time came for departure.
wishing to get over the branch road in time
10 DC present at one OF Moody a~ndSankey's
meetings, there was no alternative but a
rlde II = caDoose. As we took our seat it
WAS with the thought Of an old host who
welcomed his friends with: '+Sit down and
make yourself comfortable" The accom-
modaflons fer so doing We're excellent. We
dragged over the rails, using several hours
TO accomplish a distance OF twenty miles.
One long stop was made and my fellow
passenger becoming impatient, inquired,
"Hhat place is this - and elected the re-
ply, This amt no place." After a quarter
Of an hour all hands returned loaded down
with water crosses, which they had stopped
the train to gather, and dumped them i'll
the corner Of the car, with the remark
This is an accommodation train" AS all
mortal things must have an end, so ended
that journey.
New Haven, was reached, and with feeling
Of relief, we parted company with the Ca
boose. a stroll around the city III the re-
freshing evening air, proved enjoyable, talk

points Of interest Which the city affords. AT
an early hoHr, we made IL way to the Tab

Although the weather was threatening, a
vast crowd had assembled, and in this huge
structure erected expressly tor Moody and
sankey, I75x16S feet, and capable OF seating
over 5000 persons. There was scarcely NH
inch to spare. The meeting was opened by
a roa&ing song TO the tune of, "Sherman's
March TO the Sea" followed by prayer. AT
the close Of the prayer the storm seemed 70
burst in fury, and the rain poured down in
torrents with an almost deafening roar on
the root. Mr., Sankey, always ready to turn

would sing a solo appropriate to the occa-
sion, entitled, when the Storms Of life are
Raging" This was suns in his usual man

would be useless for my pen to add its faint
praise. Never before having been present
at their meetings, we were on the gut vsvs
until Mr.. Moody announced his text, Which
he did iii these words: 1--WE have for
text tonight wv men, II a Pharisee, the
other a Publean,o and without further ado
commenced his plain talk to the people.
For the first fifteen minutes it seems as
though almost anybody could talk like that
but at length, having carried his hearers
with him, he began to close in on them
gradually, firmly and from which there was
no retreat. His words seemed TO take hold
of his hearers until they fo.med q part of
their very being. When he told q heart
touching incident. we found our eyes mofs-
Jening and looked about us. only to find
ourselves surrounded by others thus yisibly
affected. The meeting over, and, though
we had come more for curiosity than aught
else, we went away carrying many q truth
deep down i'll our heart.
A little later and we we're on board one of
of those floating palaces that ply the waters
of the sound. We turned in at an early
hour, a refreshing sleep, and we looked out
to see daylight and the piers Of the Brook
Ign bridge. These were hardly needed to
tell rs that we were again in the city, for
the sounds that reached rs were unmistaha-
bic to the ears of a New Yorker. We are
