CHICAGO, Jan. dwight l. Moody
who has stirred up the east with his re-
vival services in New York, Philadel'

movement to Chicago. His lieutenants
in this city have sounded ministers Of
different denominations, and with theil
encouragement have called meeting

that Mr.. Moody himself will conduct
the meetings, which probably will fol
low this conference. The evangelist
has begun a series Of meetings in Bos'

through January and February. For
the month following there is strong
demand for his presence In Cincinnati.
Advocates of revival in this city de.

The proposal Of those interested is to
make the gatherings in the different
churches this week, which is the annu.
al week of prayer, preliminary to
union services among groups OF
churches The interest thus aroused,
it is expected, will affect the entire
city and eliminate in mass meetings.
