THE MOODY MEETINGS.
The Programme for the Christian Convention
Under the Great Evangelist's Leadership.

The Moody Christian convention will hold its
sessions at Roberts Park Church for three sue
cessive days, beginning tomorrow morning, at
10 o'clock The meetings will be held under the
auspices of the Y NJ. C. A. 1t is the earnest
desire of Mr. Moody that great blessing may
come upon the people of this city, and every
possible effort is being now made towards the
attainment of that end. Tickets admitting the
holder to all the meetings Of the convention
will be sent to pastors only. Gospel hymns l, 2,
and 4, consolidated will be used. Professor and
Mrs. Towner singers, of Cincinnati, will be
present to lend their aid. Mr.. Moody will per
sonally preside over all sessions and speak upon
all topics. The plan of admission by ticket is
Mr. Moody's idea. He finds it necessary to have
rules and system governing the meetings that he
everywhere holds, in order that the most good
may be accomplished and no provoking accidents
may occur.
The morning and afternoon sessions, Feb. %,
"a and %, are intended moro especially Tor
Christians, and the evening services for non
church goers. Doors will be open one half b our
before each service, also for few minutes at
the close of each hour With this ex-
ception, the doors will be kept closed
during all services Admission will be
limited to tcket-holders until fifteen minutes be-
fore the hour when the doors will be open to all.
Tickets admitting to any one session may be had
of the city pastors by members of their respect
i've CONGREGATIONS. Tickets for Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings, admitting young men be-
tween fifteen and thirty years of age, may be
had at the Young Mems Christian Association
rooms. All tickets except platform tickets will
be taken UP at each session. and it is suggested
that ticket holders make it point to attend the

guarding against being disappointed altogether.
