Farwoll Hall was througed last evoning by s vast audionoco callod out by tho snnouncoment that Mr, John V. Farwell woutd speak on the great ravival work of Mosars, Moody and Bankey iu Eoglsod. A great nomber, perlaps the greator numbor of thoso presont, camo aleo to participato in the inauguratiou of A GREAT DEVIVAL in Chicago, which, it bad come to be understood, was the main objoct of che meating. A moro glanco at the crowded suditorium and gal- lory sufficed to disclose that sll the material and of the best sort too, waa tuero assembled for such wotk, There was about the audiouce neither that air of formal proprioty which charactorizes tho ordinary moeting in tho city churchos, nor yet any manifestation of extraordinary deop ro- ligious fervor, such as warks the rovival iu full progeas, but n spirit of ACTIVE, EADNEST EXTECTANCY was manifest in nthousaud faces. the expros- wion of which told that peopls had como thera rosdy 10 ewbark in the good work with a epirit ot profound earncstness. Tho oponing, too, was of such sort a8 indi- cated that all formality was to Le dispensed with for tho purpose of getling st the main worl with all dispacch. Thero was bardly any- thing approschiug to tho regular formal oburch worvico about it Bir.

Two of the Commit- tee under wliom Brother Moody libored in Lon- don hsd bean sdvartisod tu ba present, but at the last moment Saturday ho had received a let tor ptating that they would not be in Chicago untll tho middie of the pressns week, but would stay ovor Sunday for & meoting if desirod. Ho. while thoy might be losess tuat eveniug, they would have THE PLEARURE OF ANTICIPATING the hearing of thess brothera naxt Bunday night. 1o Loped that they would all try to spread the wformaticu, a0~ that the hall might be filed to greot their breturen from the other side. They had been yery osrnest supporters of Brother Moody in bis work in London, and Lo would leava thom the most of that work to epeak about. When ho naw from tho notice what was expectod from him this evening, he thought the mau who wrote it must have beou in America, On the other side of tho water bis found, s a rule, that they gon- erally statod things ss they expected them to tako placo. The uewspapers” avd publio npaak- e1n were vary caroful uot to overstate what wau to bo raid and done at any public meeting. Now, tho notico for this mosting susted that TUEY WERE TO OIVE FULL nTA of Brothor Moody's mestings in England. For Lwn{nlllln«um. Moody aud Sanuey had boon at work thore, hoiding threa mestings escry dav, and 10 oxpact & fu:l report comoressed into an hour or an hour and s balf was oxpectiug a little o much. Howover, in this country we wont at an accelorated speed, anud did moro in the same length of timo thau thoy did on the otber sido ; but still it was impossible to do what waa ex- sctod of thom on this occaslon. Ho prosamed thore was a great mauy in tho sudience who wero purtially ignorantof who Brother Moody was and what his preparation was for tins great work on the othor mdo beforo ho loft us. It might ba interonting to givo A FEW YACTS IN I8 NECORD before going acrous the sea to learn what he had beow doing there undor God, 1t was known to some of them that Bruthor Moody camo to thie city B young man, like & great many other young wen who bend thewr steps toward the Weatern motropolies, to soek bis fortuno. ilo was an earneat Chiristian yonug man, and wo bad the ovidenco of this io tho fact tuat the very firel thing ho did after wetLing foot in Chicago was to find a pinco where he could do somothing s s worker in tha Lord's vineyard. 118 EDUCATION at that time was limited, but bis energios were grest, aud ho used them succesafuily in the baivest of the Loud Jesus Clriat. 1o began in tho sircots and ulloys "down upon Vau Buron streot, Ho gatherod in the boys and girls of the poorest poopio of that locality into a wission Bunday-schioo! brlongiug to tho Firat Methodiet Churen, of which bo (Mr. I.) was n momber, ‘That waa the way Moody beg; Whon bo saw tho great deatitution ou thie North bide, it oo~ currod to um that ho might estavlish A BCIHOOL OF 118 OWK * nod have charge of it in that vart of the city. Ho nsged tho advico of the ministers of the North Sido as to what he had better do in that regard, They told him thst he had better do sowething elso; that tbo Lord kad not called bim to sny such work, and if He had bo bad botler prosecute it in his own clurch betore starung out for bnmself. Atter tlunking tho matter over werionaly, and asking the Great ‘Tescaer Himself what He woitd bave him do, ho wado up his mind, t tho tooth of that advice, to culablish a Suuday-achool on the uorth wide of theriver. ‘Thoy all kuew how that Liad prosper- ed. That Bunday-schoul waa to-Uav Ly proxy doing wore work tor Clrist, perliaps, than any uther orgauizaiion n the city.

Hodid not expect to stay but a foww months when he went over thore, which was loug enough for tho officors of his churct to build up the walls which had boen burnod dowu. But God had oponed a wider fiold oo the other sido of the walor than was over opeued fo bim buro, aud instead of staying threo months ho bad stayed twonty-sevou mouths, It would be well, perhaps, 10 givo somo of the circum- stavees which led to bis steps being bent to- wards Engisud. Toe stopaol & good man are ordered by the Lord, aud if ever & man was thotougbly LED DY THE DIVINE 8PIRIT that man was Brother Moody. 1L was thought that ho would bave boen & litlo eogotisticsl and proud, owing to his succers in Clicago, but his vrayer before gowy was to be kept Liumble, and that was tho srst qualification, tho foundativn stone; of a Chnsuan teacher, aftor he had becu regoneratod and made acquainied with the Word of God.
