Unable to Hear
LAST nights Moody meeting Il The Chan.
line street rink was thc greatest in intsr.
eat in evidence ofthe p over that has been
and e being rapidly awakened here, and
in attendance that has yet been held.
The attendance was something assouud
ing; 1t exceeded oil expectations. There
were three Thousand people crowded q I'd
packed into the building and at the very
least, one thousand people were turned
away, unable even to get within
the doors. Every seat In the houte was
filled within ten minutes after the fl1ora
were opened. At half pas. six O'Clock
the street In front was crowded With the
waiting throng. BY sevon o'clock not
only were the seats all filed, but tho
aisles were 6lled, From the platform,
one looked out on sea OF isces--a denae
masS Of humanity. One could not make
out the sections there were people every.
where. Although Mr. Moody insisted on
having all the windows opened, the ventl-
lation was poor, and before the evening
was over the atmosphere bscame worry
heavy and foul. II was much worae
than Il was in the afternoon. Last night
two ladies tainted dead away, and hall q
dozen others were forced to 10 ave the
building, One lady tainted n the after
noon.
THE SONG sERVIcE.
Mr.. Moody ordered tho doors closed
before the hour for commencing the exer.
cisss, simply because It was impossible to
get any more in the building. Many Of
those ahpt out remained standing in the
cold outside, in the hope Of being able 10
hear Dome Of the good things that were
said. The song service was unusually
good last night. Jesus 10 Rock in q
Weary Land" was the opening hymn.
Rev. Mr.. CAN'T offered q powerful appeal
10 the Throne Of Grace Tor q blessing on
the work. Prof. Towner, at Mr.. MoodyS
request, sang again '"My Mothers
Prayer as solo.
Mr.. Moody offered prayer: We want
to thank thee Lord for godly praying
mothers that they taught US how 10 pray;
give To us, 0 Lord the spirit Of prayer.
Many have wandered away may they re.
turn and may there be 10y ON High over
