! anu 0TU lnSC. On lUeSudE CNCuliiS,
conference Of the pastors and laymen
was held at the reading room OF the Y.
II. G. A., when Nr. Hall explained to
those present The arrangements neccs-
sary 10 be made, and asked, in view OF
! the labor required to do so, if they still
desired to have them come to Columbia.
The call was renewed by a rising vote,
and the advisory committee and chair
men OF other committees appointed to
prepare for the meeting. Moody and
Sankey visit but two places in the State,
Charleston and Columbia. They viii
reach here on Monday morning, the 20th
OF March, and will remain until We'd
nesday night, the 31st, three days. The
party will consist OF Mr.. and Mrs. D. L.
Moody and daughter and Mr.. Ira D.
! Sankey, ''thc sweet singer of America"
They will hold six meetings, as follows:
Monday, March 29th, at $3.50 p. NJ,
Qor all.)
Monday, March Goth, at 5 P. NJ, (for
ally
Tuesday, March 3Oth, at $3.50 P. NJ,
Gor all.)
Tuesday, March SOth, at s P. NJ, (for
metr only.)
Wednesday, March 3lst, at $3.50 ?. NJ,
for all.)
Wednesday, March 3st, at 5 ?. NJ,
(for all.)
The plan OF admission will be by
tickets only. The pastors Of the differ
ent churches will be furnished tickets
in proportion to tue size of their respect
i've congregations, who will distribute
them in such manner as will give every
member OF their congregation al oppor-
tunity to attend at least one OF the SER
vices. There will be ticketsin the hands
Of the ex-Secretary of the 7. N. G. A.
to supply strangers and persons not con-
nected with the congregations OF the city
who may desire to hear Mr. Moody,

manner as the pastors, viz, so as to give
every one, if possible, an opportunity to
hear him at least one time while here.
There will be a special ticket for the
members of committees and the choir,
who will be admitted 10 all Of the servl-
ceS.
Mr.. Moody desires to have as many as
| one hundred and fifty voices in the choir,
| to include the best singers present, and
that members of the choir have copy OF
the Gospel Hymns, l, 2, 3 and 4 consoli-
dated. with music, and that every one IL
the audience have book with words.
Messrs. r. L. Bryan & CO. will order a
lot with words and music, and with
words only. The small ones with paper
cover may be purchased for five cents,
the same, with muslin cover, ten cents.
He insists upon everyone having a book,
and requires the committee on music to
give them one when they refuse to buy.
The reason for requiring tickets OF ad-
! mission is that everyone may have an
opportunity to be present one time,
whereas if no provision Of this kind,
those who could leave their homes
first would fill the house and deprive
great number Of the privilege
of hearing at all. The largest
house in the city (the opera house, will
only hold, sitting and standing, about
1000, and at the six meetings, only 1000
people could get in, and if this plan were
not adopted, the house might be crowded
with the same persons every time.
There is no charge for tickets, and here
let me say, that Mr.. Moody never allows
a collection to be raised at any Of his
meetings for himself, he makes no
charge. If the people are disposed to
present him with purse they must
make it up before he comes, or outside
of the meetings. Mr.. Hall told me that
if anything was done it should be done
by gie committee on finance, and in
cluded in the general estimate OF eX-
| penses for hall, books, etc. was sur-
prised to learn that MesSrs. Moody and
Sankey have no income except what
the people give them where they
labor, and the amounts given average
but little above their current expenses.
He also mentioned the fact that Mr..
Sankey received nothing from the sale OF
the Gospel Hymns, that the entire
amount paid by the publishers for the
right to use them is donated by trustees
appointed for the management Of this
fund to charitable purposes, and that all
of their work is done for the purpose OF
building up the cause OF Christ as they
are passing by. Mr.. Moody has mod
est house at Mortified, Mass, and Mr..
Sankey a similar one at Penna.
If you will cnt this out. you CAN refer
10 it again should You decide to attend
Mr.. Moody's meetings on the 29th to
3lst OF March. 1t is his first visit to
Columbia.
Mr.. E. Pickens Hipp, who lives in the
upper portion OF Lexington County, was
| arrested here on the 4th instant for at
tempting to pass dollar greenback
which had been raised to 100 with figures
cut from a Confederate note. He Sc
lected fifty dollar watch at Capt. Rich
hourg's and gave this bill to Mr.. Rhodes,
the clerk, TO take the money out Of it.
Mr.. Rhodes found it necessary to 60 ont
for the change, and when at Mimnaugh's,
Mr.. Nathan, the book keeper, discoT-
cred the character OF it. The fact was
made known to Mr.. Hipp, who claimed
that he had got the money from the
Carolina Bank. Mr.. Rhodes went with
| him to the bank. when Mr.. Bell, the
