THE CAPACITY OF THE BUILDING
being limited, the ticket system was
adopted by Mr.. Moody's special re-
quest, to give every person desiring to
hear him at least one opportunity to
do 30, by preventing identical parties
from occupying and monopolizlng all
the seats at every meeting. 1t is very
probable that inclement weather and
other causes will prevent many ticket
holders from attending, and as the
doors will be THO Wn wide open to al
ten minutes prior ID service, every
one that can then find places in the
building will be welcome. Mr.. Sankey,
assisted by a choir composed OF more
than one hundred, will begin with
musical service thirty minutes before
the time named for regular service.

GIVE YOUR TICKET TO A SINNER.
A correspondent asks, allow would
It do for every Christian holding
ticket to Mr.. Moody's meeting to give
that ticket to some unconveIted friend
or some unreconciled enemy? That
would be the very essence OF revival
itself. II the great evangelist can adj
dress 1900 unconverted people every
time he stands on the platform great
good may be expected among that
class OF people. Andrew first findeth
