remarkably good, bat consider Miss ellis

we believe tho latter the strongest. Mr.. kcnnv,-

even az times Witty, always capable of holding

great sIcc"ss as a teacher. Tho faculty OF tho
Normal School did al in their power to enter
tain tie visitors. An interesting program was
arranged and made up OF recita lions from fer

ctendcred a reception at the Dormitory b:ttvr
known as the ';'ncol,r Hail. and ell cndeav-

pleasant possible. Reduced rates for boart,
and lodging were allowed at the Dor.litory for
ladies and gentlemen. So all in all we bslicv,
that those who attended this meeting of the as

1t is rather out OF season to say anything
about tho Moody meetings. held here n wall
since. But even if it is, we cannot help saving
that We then saw the largest audience over as
sembled in one building. There was no stand
ing room vacant at any meeting and the seco, d
evening people started for his church from ty O
to three hours before time, but the church did
not open until o'clock and the result was tint
lin five minutes the church was com pletely fillcd
Between 100 and 2UO people attended his SER
vices. Mr.. Moody is rather aged man. very
simple in manners and dress, but that notwith-
standing capable OF holding the attention of the
audience to the utmost. He has full command
over his listeners, it seems, being able to at his
will touch any human emotion The audience
laughed and cried and many wer. they who
were converted and it is certain that the First
NJ E. church has not been the place of such i'm.
pressive service many time and very likely
will not for many day. Capt. Burkes singing
added greatly to the beauty of the services. Mr..
Moody and CAPT. Burke left for MINNEAPOLIS
with the hearticst sympathy of the FARGO and
Hoorhead people.
This ends our letter and we suppose you are
glad, but for fear that We will have nothing
further before Christmas, we desire to close
with our sincerest wishes to you all for a merry
Christmas and happy future. LlBERrINUs.
