TIE CENTRAL CHURCH. AND TNIE MOODY-SANKEY MEETINGS. The Central Church prayer-mecting 1 the ‘Hethodlst Church Dlock, cornor of Clark and Washington, was not very well attended Jast even- ng, owing to the raln. In consequence, Prof, Bwing did not deliver tho customary lecture, bt requested those present to give thelr viewd as to what part, if any, tho Central Church should take In the Moody-Sankey meetings, which dommence about the 1st proximo. Mr. Gliman thought, judglog from the restlts In England and In this country, that tho revivals ac- complithed much goud, and he would be willing to do all 1n Lis power to aid the movement, Prof. Swing remarked (hat some good could be otten ont of the meetings, Quite large part of ‘he congrexation, however, would notatiend them, Lat there was room to ahow sympathy and aeslat, MR. MILLIAND Sellevod revivaladid more harin than good. To zould not apyirove of them, since he know from pursonalexperience that more infldels and hatera of religion than Christians were made by them. It s unfoctunate, but it waa true, 1le would not say that Muofl‘ and Sunktr could not cast out dev- §lu, but he could not gu along on the same road srith them. Ten or tifteen years oppunition on hin art to religion was ‘caused by thy ef- arts of his father and friends o make a Christiam of hiwm by such mesns, He had seen men made good Dy such movements, yot he would warn all his youug fricnds to keep away. Moody meant well, und wald o goud many true things, ‘nvlllnip e to the Gonpel as ho suw it, ‘but to the speakerMoody's goapel was not (s Goas el PShor. Bwing reminded Mr. 1Hiltard that the char- acter of rovivals hud chlngcd. Thoss of 25 years 250 wora more exclting, Cher wks more of the ordlnary pursuasion snd lesa excitement In the ‘Moody-Sankey mectings thun formerly. Mr.” Collins asked {t it was necesssry for the Central Church to take part, PRO¥, SWINO replied that there was no obligution on the Central Church or on any other to take an active part or any parl. 1t was oitogcthier spontaneons, The fieat revivals o ever attended were such e Mr, Tillliard hiad referred to—absulutely injurious, e had seen people on the floor in fainting epells snd others on chairs abouting, and had gone home fully sesolved to lead A spiritual life and never again think & wicked thought. But the feeling passcd -wn‘y and reaction sct in, and he had never befora dislfked religlon so much. Thoso now held were wvery different in thelr character, can ng | rgnl( of slaging, and scomed 1o bo full of religious apirit in other respects, lenco, whilo he could hardly say hie was In favor of the ready to opposo them {u ti 1srother Mlitchell's, hie didn't foul exactly east, rticii’s, Cheney's and other churches were dob uiforin work which ‘was of vast worth, e would rather sce all the yegular churches widen out iu thelr places sud their houses, and carry thclr aniform work for. ward with double seal, thau to sco thess apasmodic movements. ‘Mr. Collins had no eympathy with Moody, but ould be sorty o vty anyihuog to keen people sway, lle presumed he wauld gos few times out of curloaity, Prof. Bwing continued: As near as he could learn, perLapa balf or tbree-fourths of (he Central Church people were in favor of what were called the ordinary means, both of conversion and rellg- fous education, Le bad mo dunbt the msjority would be OFPOSED TO TAKING AN ACTIVE PART 1n the mectings; yet ho shoald foel himaels irse to take part, becauss all believed fu retigious liberty: snd It any of the Deacons _aud Elders shonld go and exhort be shonld flnd no fault, Of course they wonld lct i do a» he chuss. One reason why be brunght the matter up was he had recoiver Jetfers from thres clergymen of ovangelicul churches cutside the clty asking him what Le thought_about the Moody sud Bankey moves ment. They did not Luow exactly how tu act. Ahont one-half the cancregation of each favored tho withholding of all help, und the othier half favored some confession—wsome yielding to the Influence; aud he could only au; ihis: Whenever any heart felt the influence—fult 3 tuat retigion was gelting nesrer—could vnjuy the music and the worship, let that heart g ht flnd ita dally bre: But If there wi reacted sgsinat it, and did not feel .t patl (oward the highest life, ‘or the p g which to lead & fcllow-man—t, after une of two of- forts, he found tliere was nothiug inthemeetinzs for bim, he bud far better stay away tnan to ropeatedly ‘undergo the jur of discurd thoy wight bring. Ho, o supbosed, there was no other way, na tho Friends say, than **to follow the wilrit,"—to DO A8 THE BIPIKIT MOVED. ‘The Eplacopatlaus, for the most part, looked upon the Moudy-Sankey mectings with horror, as belnz y injurious; but now and then o, such 28 Dr, Tyug, and pezhaps iwo or threo olber lead- iug Episcopalians, extracted bon-{ 1010 the ssme fowers which yiclded Eulwn to oifiers.
