Evangelist Moody Continues to
 Preach Words of Truth
TO LARGE CONGREGATIONS
Open Air Meetings Great SuCoess-Marke Improve
 ment in the Choir.

The Moody meetings continue to grow warm and the people more interested. The sermons both morning and night are being attended largely and the throngs are gradually increasing in mum bers.
 At first it was thought that the open air meetings would do but little good, but last night proved a different result, for at nearly every appoiut ted place there were in attendance upwards of 100 people. Some of these. too, were persons wno had never heard the gospel before, and who had known nothing but the paths of sin.
 In almost every instance after the open air meetings were ended nearly all of those in attendance went straight to the wig wam to hear the noted evangel.
 These open air meetings were held in one or two of the suburban towns aud were effective in bringing large number of people that otherwise would have remained away.
 At the wigwam last nigbt the attendance was much larger than ,he night before, the wigwam being nearly filled, the estimated mum Der present being about 6c00.
 Another pleasing feature IS the work of the choir, which is gradually improving. Everything moves in better order, and the elnglng was much more appreciated last night than on Monday night.
 Last nights services were opened with choir practice, which was followed by a short prayer by Dr. z A. Parker.
 Professor TowDer sang solo, which was pleasing indeed.
 Mir. Moody's text was taken from John, iii, 3: Except man be born again he cannot see tho kingdom of Heaven.'
 The sermon from start 10 finish, as will be seen from the text, was upon the regen- eration of the spiritual man, and one thing that the speaker laid stress upon was that man was not necessarily a Christian be- cause he went to church and was baptiZ d. Ills main point upon this was that nan had to be thoroughly resenerated before he could become Christian.
 He hit the people very hard upon good resolutions made in good faith that were never carried out, and ventured the asssr- tion that if all the good resolutions that had been made and broken since these meetings began were on foolscap paper tLat five mules cou dn't pull them away.
 He paid his respects to the husba nd, and iu an assertion of irony said, "When anything goes wrong the husband Is not to blame, but the wife ls.''
 His definition of Heaven, which he hap pened to throw out during the course of these remarks, was that it Is s'a prepared place for prepared peoples
 He roasted the idea that some people held that others were naturally good, and said that there wasn't word of truth in il; that men are naturally bad
 His respects were again paid to the whisky dealer, and he said that the way to make Birmingham prohibition town is for everybody to quit drinking.
 His sermon al t. Id was bout as usual forceful and telling in it's effect.
 There will be prea ching this morning at 10:30 o'clock at he First Methodist church and tonight at the wigwam.
