4Ine h1OOuy sIneStluSS, WHiCu dro III progress, are proving decidedly interest ing, and immense throngs of people are fiocking to hear this noted evangel expound nan impre 3sive way the gospel.
 The people are not only coming from all over the city, but they are also coming in hundreds and train loads from all the suburbs. This suburban attendance is due considerably to the excellent transporta- tion facilities, Mir. Moody's opening ser- mon Sunday afternoon was listened to by almost the wigwam full of pc )ple, aud at night the crowd was even larger. At both sermons yesterday the crowds were almost as large as Sunday.
 The sermons are filled with truths that cannot be doubted, and are put in a way that impresses the most hard hearted and wayward.
 As an evangelist Mir. Moody is doing good in Birm ham for the people now are not going, hs g whole, for curiosity bls to hear something that does them good and that which mas a tendency 10 make them ead better lives and keep from the paths of destructive sin. At every sermon can be seen eyes flied with tears of JOY and prayers heard that are fervent and from the depths of the heart.
 The evangelist is truly getting a hold on the people aud with the progress he IS now making there is no estimation of the con versions that will 6e made at the end of his engagement.
 Prayer meetings are being held at dif- ferent places in theeit nd from these great many psople gO earned up. Not ouly is this evangelist doing good work, but the minlst ters and church ptople are working with a Zeal that can hardly be ex- celled. ,~s5sr.~s -S>,sNs
 Another attraction is the singing, which is very good, considering the circum- stances under which those who have 1t 1n charge labor. The brass quartette, piano, music.
 The services held at the wigwam last night were attended by about 5000 people.
 MT. Moody's text was taken from John, vi: Be not deceived. God is not mocked, for whatsoever man soweth that shall he also reap.'
 His sermon was short and touched upon the end of this life.
