before the time for Mr.. Moody to be-

was filled, and at 2:30 o'clock 1t was
SO densely packed that not another
person could have been accommodat-
ed. Fully 5000 people listened to the
eloquent evangelist, and hundreds

AS the preacher began to talk-it could not
the street, of not less than LOO people. ID was
difficult to see wherein Mr. Moody differed
from the average evangeistic speaker. his
words were simple, his manner calm, ana
his thought far from sensational. He ad-
dressed that large concourse OF people as
though conversing with each individual, and
at the outset he employed a conversational

words.
which he drew his remarks. There is
want in every mans life a longing for rest
from the weary cares of the world was the
proposition which introduced his talk. IAN
attempt to satisfy this longing IS often Seen
in the young seeking for pleasure. His
want is not satisfied. The Christian offers
Christ to the world as the perfect rest, which
satisfies the SOUL
Mr. Moody early in his discourse, began
telling stories of his own experience, and as
he proceeded his speech became more and
more rapid, and his expression and gestures
more earnest. He was carrying his hearers
with him. He said nothing to arouse the
antagonism of any person, and his manner
of speaking was very pleasing. Occasionally
a laughable illustration used and the
audience showed signs of pleasure. lmme-
diately the tenor of his remark would become
pathetic, and its effect was felt.
portion of the address was spent in snow
ing the value to the average man OF living
faith in Christ and the advantages were not
all of the future. 1t was the speakers idea
that to live a Christian life means living
better lfe and there was nothing to be lost
by making the change. 1t was necessary to
be positive in ones position, and no one need
be ashamed of having chosen Christ. we
are often afraid of our friends, but frequently
it turns out that those same friends have
been waiting for us to take stand before
following our example"
The sermon was comparatively short ana
| even those who were compelled to stand
| through the whole were surprised when the
| speaker suddenly ended his address.
The prayer which followed was more re-
markable than the address, and was uttered
| in the most commonplace conversational tone.
But it's effect was felt. The audience was
| moved.
| The speaker announced that the audience
| should dispense while the choir sang hymn;
| hut at the conclusion of the hymn few had
| left the hall, and were waiting as for some
| further attraction. Song after song was sung,
| and it was not until the singing stopped that
the people began leaving the church. 1t was
a grand meeting and it would be hard to tell
! what made it such. 1t was not the oratory
| of the preacher. nor the thought expressed.
| More than anything it was the earnest man
ner in which the preacher gave to the people
| his message.
Meetings will be held today at 10 a. m.
