awaited the visitors to-day as they came from
New-York Boston, Philadelphia and other cities
and from many towns and villages throughout
New England and in New-York State.
Had II been known that Mr.. Moody was 10 open
the conference with address. 1t is safe TO say
that many who will arrive tomorrow would nave
FASTENED their coming at least day. but true 10
his nature and fully in keeping with his topic this
evening, he forbade the announcement OF the
speaker or his theme Humility
THE OPENING MEETING.
The great Auditorium was decorated this after
noon by the Mount Hermon students who are
spending their vacation here Goden-rod, ferns.
sumac branches and cardinal flowers were in front
OF the plato and back Of the choir loft, while
vases OF sweetpeas of various shades were at the
feet OF the speakers The hall began 10 Ill slowly
the visitors seeming TO be reluctant TO come In
doors until nearly the hour for the service 10 begin.
Mortified scenery. always beautiful, is particularly
fascinating the seeks his rest behind the
foothills of :he Green Mountains and the shadows
begin to fall over the Connecticut Valley. Among
the first to enter the room were Mr.. Moody
and Mr. Stebbns, for many years his companion
in evangelistc work. On the platform sat Ira d.
Sankey, whose will be forever associated
with that OF Mr.. Moody. his faithful co-laborer for
more than a quarter OF a century.
The service began with the hymn. "All People
That Earth Do Dwell" Then came a prayer
by the Rev DR.. H C. Mabe, the hymn. More
Love, o Christ, TO Thee" and prayer by Dr. r.
A. Torfey. Mr. Moody's representative in the Bible
Institute at Chicago.
Mr.. Moody In announcing his subject said that
he thought II would be good thing TO begin
the conference with talk on humility. taking
for his text Matthew XII. 90: Learn OF me- for am
meek and lowly in heart" The lower the Christian
goes he said. the brighter he shines. His address
full OF homely but effective illustrations. His
eulogy of John the Baptist brought tears 10 many
eyes. and his reference to the humility OF David,
who says nothing in the Psalms about his killing
the giant OF Gath caused smile. He said II a
man should kill a giant now volume would be
written at once and publishers would rush for the
privilege of bringing II out. and the man would
insist on being introduced to every audience as
the great gantker.
AS the great audience broke up many persons
fingered 10 shake hands with Mr.. Moody and to
tell him that his earnest words had been Just the
message that they needed.
