From the Baltim ore Sun.
The success of the meetings by the
evangelists, Messrs. Moody and San.
key, at the Cyclorama Building, has
led the directors Of the work to make
an effort to extend them beyond Feb
ruary 49, the day originally appointed
for the close OF the revivals. The pres
-ent intention Is to continue the meet
ings ip the Cyclorama until Sunday
week. March 5.
The two meetings yesterday were q
repetition OF the scenes that have
made the Cyclorama Building a pic
ture OF hustle and activity since the
| first day of the evangeiists' arrival.
Thousands OF ladies'. young girls and
children thronged in the direction OF
Mt. Royal avenue from all parts of the
city in the afternoon, the procession
thither beginning as early as l o'clock
and continuing after the opening of
the meeting and the closing OF the
doors against even the pleading lone
more who was always there begging
for admission. After hymn-singing
and opening payers Mr.. Moody made
very earnest address, grouping ms
remarks under three head Chris
| tians," "Backsllders" and 1.-The Uncon-
verified"
| At night Mr.. Moody preached to
about six thousand men. Every scat

world Is divided into two classes" he
said. There ore pharlsees and publ
cans, elder and younger brothers all
the way through. These represent the
human family to-day, just us they did
1890 years ago.
THAT pharsee had a very high opin.
ion of himself Why he must ha We
been like fellow heard of in Eu-
rope. This follow thought SO much
of himself that he used to shake hands
with himself every morning when he
got up. But the publican slipped into
Heaven while the pharsee was boast
ing, and telling tho Lord how good
he was. Oh. that elder brother was sc
good! He mover did anything wrong

never did anything wrong? Are there
any OF you men here who never did
