tablIshed what were known al Bible con-
ferences, at which the prophecies were dis
cussed. Years before he had established
similar conferences in London. The first
national conference in the United States
was held in Philadelphia in 1863, and the
second in St. Louis, in Rev. DR.. Brooke's
church, where a large number of clergymen
attended the sessions. Then there sprang
up a series of conferences, similar to those
of Mr.. Moody at Northield, and these have
been maintained annually, until now four
are held regularly every year., the largest
being in New York. A great prophetic
conference was held in Chicago in 1886. at
which such eminent t~heologians as Bishop
Nicholson, of Philadelphia, Rev. Maurice
Baldwin, bishop of Huron, Ont, Prof.
Marquis of the Mccormick Theological
seminary. Prof. Streter, of Wesleyan col
lege. Prof. Duffisld, of Princeton, N. j.,
Prof. Princell and Rev. p. S.. Henson, of
Chicago, attended, and Baptists, Presbyte-
Reformed and other denominations were
represented, besides a large number of
evangelists. The conference was held in
Farwell hall, and was opened by Rev. E. p.
Goodwin. of Chicago, q leading Congrega-
tionalist% clergyman of that city. This was
followed. a year later, by another confer
ence in Philadelphia and a second great
conference in Baltimore, lasting fou days.
In all of these ~asselnblages Mr.. Needham,
the founder, took a prominent share. At
the most recent, that in Brooklyn, the ad-
hesion of over 200 clergymen was received,
twenty-six states being represented.
The movement has gone like a whirlwlnd
in both continents. 1t is not to be con-
founded with the various other prophetic

she besought him to apply for a pardon for

SO. The husband returned full of love

way home, however, he learned the truth:

conference next year, when it is confidently
expected that all the Protestat denomina-
tions will be fully represented. Pre-mll-
lenial literature will be scattered like snow
flakes all over the world. 1t will be a cam
pa1gn of agitation everywhere. Spreading
out from the Plymouth Brethren and later
from the Baptists, who gave it its recent
impulse, the movement bids fair to embrace
all Christendom and to awaken such a re-
yiyaI of interest in the second advent as
has never been witnessed since apostolic
days. when every follower Of the Nazarene
was watching and waiting for his coming.
To the pre-miiie1laTians the air is already
burdened with the sounds of rushing char
lots and the rustic of angelic wings.
