From Emporia: Moody the evangelist,
closed a series of meetings at this place
| last evening, and was greeted by an i'm
Inense audience, there being not less than
900 people within the walls of the
rink, where the convention was held.
! The people are literally packed in the
! large audience room, the windows and
aisles were filled and a solid mass Of hui
manity on the stage completely occupied
the building to its utmost capacity. The
| throng extended out into the street
! from the various entrances. There has
has been a deep religious awakening,
and the interest manifested is wide
/ spread. Mr.. Moody left Emporia at
midnight, and will visit his brother for
a day or two in Johnson county, near
Olathe, and on Sunday will open con-
| ventiOn at AtchisOn.
Larned CbronOSc0pe: The supper given
/ by the Ladies Guild last Friday night
was a social and financial success, al
though the day and evening were very
stormy. The tables were handsomely
/ decorated with china and silver and pre-

was such an abundance of delicious
viands spread on the ample tables that
| the appetite was fairly satiated with be-
/ holding the good things, nevertheless
/ the partakers were able to do their share
( in demolishing the lOaVes- and fishes.
| Several handsome cakes were auctiOned
/ off, re-dOnated aud re-auctiOned of till
| the fun grew quite hilarious. The ladies
/ feel quite proud Of their first venture,
and well they may. The receipts
amounted to eighty-hYe dollars. They

near future OF a musical and literary
character

number of new members were formally
added to the church, and several were
baptized. The Sacrament of the Lords
Supper was also administered, in which
many, including quite number from
