o THE CHICAGO DAILY TKiSUNE: SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1873, THE CHURCHES. Bir. Moody’s Kew Gfethod of Impress- fag Scriptural Truth. To-Day’s Sunday School Lesson Ex- plained by J. V. Farwell, Pulpit Personals--=Iiscellane- ous Religious Notes. Programme of Services in the Churches To-Day. For the last three months thero has been & growing interest in the subject of Bible lectares In Chicago. This now method of impressing Beriptural truth originated in this country with Mr. Moody, in Dr. Cuyler's church, Brooklyn, last March, whero very large and successful meetings of the kind were continued for sov- eral weeks, snd which wero repeated in Dr. Reed’s Church, Philadolphia. They are now held in meny of our large citics, and everywhere sre proving. o great uccess. -The method is very simplo, involving the choce of a subject, undor which are arranged the subordinate topica, £nd about which are gronped the most important Beripture quotations, which are always read by members from tho sudience. On the miain theme, a8 well as cach topic, tho leader of the meeting mekes such pointed, pithy, and pungent remarks 23 the logic of the question and quota- tions require. The meetings are interspersed with singing and prayer, as may be desired. i West Side (Bible) meetings have been held in the Third Presbyterian Church every atternoon during the past week. The attendanco has been Jarge, the audicnco numbering often nearly a thousand. Rev. Dr. Goodsin, D. L. Moody, Rov. Dr. Kittredge, Henry Moorhouso, and Rev. John Gordon officiated, oiher ministers and members participating. The themes presented wero the * Blood of Christ,” * Law and Grace,” #1Seriptare Cannot B Broken,” end * Th Cities af Befuge.” These meetings will be continued daring the present week, the congregation con- fening at 4 p. m. The indications aro that the chapel will not hold tho :people, but Dr. Kit- tredge Las promised the use of the audienco- room of the church if desired. Union Bible Meetings will bo held aiso durng Aheweck on tho South Side every afternoon, Saturday excepted, at 4 o'clock, in the Second Presbyterian Church (Dr. Pstterson’s), the pro- gramme of subjects end thosd who lead tho | meetings beiug the same as in the Third Church lest week. THE TEACUERS" XEETING. Instead of the noon-dsy prayer meeting on faturday, a Sunday School Teachers’ meoting is regularly held, in the Methodist Church Block, which, of late, has become the most *interesting of its kind in the world. Only those who come carly can obtain seats. Yesterday the meeting was led by John V. Farwoil, who explained the Jesson for to-day, *The Tower of Babel,” in 8 very clear and practical manner. God, he £5id, was & plain teacher, teaching often by pic- tores and by contrasts. Among the contrasts were Adsm innocent, and Adam sinfal, Abel and Cain, Nosh and righ teousness, world and sin, snd tho Tower of Babel, on waich man would climb to heaven, 2nd the Divino plan, etc. At the Tower, human language was confounded, but in Christ, on the day of Pentecost, the lan- gusge was restored. The Holy Spirit speaks tho game lengucgo. Langaage, too, in Heaven, isone. Thera was no wrong in building the city, no vrong in the brick, nor slime, nor situation; tho wrong layin the fact that God was left out! + Nor is it necessary to hevo a great city to leave 3] out God. A man may build & house and leave God out. Itshould be impreseed-on the minds of children that their own minds constitute a sufticient, arca on_which to build and lezve God ont, and if Ho is left out, this is the main ele- medt of destruction, and the dastruction is inev- itable, Hore in tho Scriptures read to-dzy wo find Heaven closed agninst the designers. There is much confusion of tongues to-day. The Chorches build up their 'owb zame. They call themselves Presbyterians, Congregationslists, Mothodists, ctc.. when there is but one name iven whereby man can be saved. Rev. Drs. obert W. and _Robert Pstterson, Rev Dr. Thomas, Major Whittle, Captain Sims, Mr. Cole, #ad others, took part in the meeting. Tho teach~ ere, and all inrerested in Snnday-schiool work, will find it profitable to a-tend thero meetings. RELIGIOUS PERSONALS. Henry Moorhonse, tho English Evangelist, still lingers in the city actively engaged in aid- ing the revivals. His earnestness, cnergy, pun- fency, torseness, love, and sympathy arc valua- le acquistions at such meetings, and all delight tohear him. He will leave this city for Cincin- ati on the 24th inst., going from thence to To- 1do and Brooklyn, and sailing for Manchester April5. Iris bis intention to return to America next September, where he proposes to. remain for threo yoars:' He will carry home with him the best wishes of the Christian public, and no doubt meet with & hearty welcome when ho somes again. The Fndependent b at last heard of our fel- low-towneman, Professor Swing. It devotes over a column to his excellencies as a preacher, expressing much * surprise thata man of hig ability has not & national reputation. In regard tothe Professor’s style, tho writersuys : ¢ Thero Ianeither affectation nor clap-trap; the un- tindied utterance of o mind tinctored with poctry, vital with humanity, and kindled by a Yision of things unsecn and éternal in the every- &5 walks of life,” Rev, Wr.
