dressed by Him.
Three meetings were held by Rev. A. G..
Dixon on yesterday to increasing crowds
and with deepening interest:
The mems meeting was the most ten
der and fearful" ever witnessed in the lee
ture-room of the Second Baptist church,
the pastor said. Old Christians called 1t
meeting of great spiritual power"
AMONG TIE woRKMES.
Rev. Mr.. Dixon accompanied DR.. Lam
drum to Talbott's iron-works at | o'clock
and addressed the workmen during their
lunch-hour.
The men in large numbers listened to
the preacher: many stood uptor Christ,
and several asked to be remembered III
prayer.
NIGHT MEETING.
At o'clock the subject was Re-
pentance: What 1t Is Not; What 1t Is"
The exposition of the doctrine was bibll-
cal and clear. The discussion OF this old
Bible theme, now thought out of date by
some, drew out several nevertheless, who
gave up their own prayer-meetlns to hear
Mir. DixOn's exposition. Great interest
WAS manifested by non-protessors of reli-
gion. some forty or more asking instruc-
tion. Three people made confession OF
Christ.
UNUSUAL METHODS.
No evangelist or evangelist pastor who
has come TO Richmond has cared as little
as Mr.. Dixon apparently cares to get the
sunconverted to "ask for prayers" This
preacher says he docs not especially care
to pray for everybody, mis- only aim beng
to get every man to pray for himself.
MEETING TO-DAY.
At the noon meeting the subject will be
"Ihe Trials aud 1riumphs of Faith" At
p. NJ. Mr.. Dixon will preach on the para
| ble of the rich man Ind Lazarus,

s'Fnights OF Tyburn,.' at the Academy.
The knights of Tyburn" was the play
presented to the patrons Of the Academy
of Music last night. 1t is the old story
Of Jack Sheppard, with a few changes
from the original play as presented a
number of years ago. Miss Thompson
as Jack Sheppard, and Mrs. Jeffreys
Lewis as Mrs. Sheppard, made a strong
impression on the large audience. Some
of the other people in the cast seemed
hardly up to their parts, but as it was a
first night, some allowance is due for I'M
familiarity. The scenery was good, es-
pee tally the tableau Of the Old Mint and
London Bridge. The play is one OF
strong melodramatic interest, and win
doubtless prove a strong popular hit.
