Thoy had been tanght that Christ was thelr teacher and example, wid this was all; and they esne to moand sald, ‘*Iow shiall we get futo thia way of helleving that Jesus died to save us from our slus{' 1 matid to them, “1 shall pive yon no hook on the atoncment, but I wish you to go home and read the fifty-thind chapter” of Isalah, Remems ber that it was written (00 sears befora Christ waa born; read it over, andd over, and over agaln, na:l ;;rny"lu the Ifoly Spirit to help you under- stand i1, “ Now," sald the speaker, * I want to pray for these young Indles, anid for all that class of per- sons who are plagued by that falss doctrine.’ Two other requests which had como up sinca the meeting hegan were then read,—one for a man at the point of death who wasont of Clirist, that the word spokan to him that day might be blessed to his salvation; and the other a pliysle clan and his wifs m sore ailifetion, that they might both be brought ta Christ, Bishop Cheney followed with earncst praver for ull these cases, Mr. Moody then destred the menting to pray, stlently, for'the apecinl hlessing of God upon all unconverted persons present, upon the Bible- reading at 3 o'elock Inthe alternoon, aud upon the Talwernacle service at night, ‘Thy Inquiry mcetings m the emall rooms, off the platform and under the gallery, were then announced, ns well us the regulne after-meeting in the upper and lower halls, Tho bopediction was then pronounced by the Rev.

THE APTARNOON MEETING ot Farwoll Hall yesterday was but sparsely at- tended {n comparison with the others of the serles, What was lacking in numbers, however, was made up by the extra degree of fecling which was thrown into the excrelses. Mr, I, P, Diias, who Is almost as gifted n singer ns Mr, Sankey, and probably excels lim in the matter of musical expression, took a lending part In the prelfininary song service. The Rev. A, Mitehell offered up the opening prayer. An abstract of MR, MOODY'S REMARKS Is nppended: You that were hero yesterday will remember that we got to this portion of Beripture where the Holy Spirit dwells with everv belicver, To- day we are to have the gift of the Holy Spirit for service. This glft, it stelkes me, Is dlstinet and scparate entirely from canverslon, 1 bulfeve God bas o great many children that have no power. ‘The minlsters will bear me out when 1 stato that ulnc-tenths of the church-members cannot perform any work bocause they nre not qualified. Indced, 80 true fs this, that thelr pastors will not allow them to talk with anxious souls for fear of their dofng moro harm than %'oud. Some have been members of a church or more than twenty yewrs, and yet £h do wmore to retard” the enuse of Chirist than suything 1 know of. But tallc to thiem, probe themn deep, and you will find that they really believe on the Lord. They have not tho gift of the Holy Ghost for serviee. Gosdl daes not seem to work with them, and I belfeve It s beeause they have not sought this gltt. In the opening of Llic eleventh chapter of Luke we flnd the disviples asking Christ to teach them how to pray, ~ After doing so He Boces on to explain ¢, and {n tho ninth verse Bays: And Ieny unto you, Askand it shall bo given unto yon; seck and ye shall_find; knock nnd it shailho opened unta _yon. For every one that. asketh recelveth, an | he that recketh I{!\llcfll: oand 1o him that knockoth itshull be opened, . . . How mnch more whall your Ileavenly Father givo the Holy 8pirit to them that ask Him, Now, the disciples must have been converted by the power of “the Ialy Ghost, but the lesson 1o be learned from thisls that we must pray dor the Holy Spirit for service, that wo may bo tmoluted and qualified to do the work that God has forustodo, J helleve that Elisha wasn child of God befora Elijal met him; but lie was not cluullflcd to tuke thy Intter’s place until the spirit of Eljah 'came upon him. We have to a8k for this blessing, to knovk for It, and search and find out why 1t does not come. 1f wo guanl Inlquity In‘our hearts, If wo have some Ridden sin, God Is not comlng to give it us; and If we don’t get it it I3 us well to stop short and 08k the question why ITy does not give it. 1t 18 not beeause (ind Is not widling or able, not Decausy Hirdlovs not want to give Ity for wo all know that ile {s nlways ready to impart it, but bhecause (bere 18 somothing wrong with us. . We iwe 1ot a3 *un empty vessel "—weare not ready to receive the lessite, and 14 does not comne, T the thind chapter of Luke wo find that Chrlst was baptlzed by the Toly Ghost before e entered into 108 ministry, This should teach us to get anointed hefore essaying the Lord's work, "I was thioking that if; i’ onr theological somlnaries, after goting all the Inunan wisdom thes ean, they would just spend ten days walthyg for God to” glve them power' ITrom on high, we would not have so umnf slekly meu sent out to preach. They have futellectual power enotigh, hut they lack the power of the Holy Ghost, Christ wis the Son of Gud Just as much beforo Ilis baptlsm as afterwards, but even Tle needed this power; und 1t the Son of God, who nover had sfnned, needed it, how much more do wo need it, and how hopeless, how disconraging, will it be if wo attempt to work betoro we get It. I generally atvide the Church fnto THNEE CLASSES OF CHIISTIANS, Tho frst wo find in the third chaptor of John, They are like Nicodeons, ‘They have got to Chrlst and got lfe. Nieodemus got lite, and that 1a all; ho did not get the moral courngo to testify, A great many Christians nre just' like tlint characier. They” work thelr way np to Chrlst, and arc satlsfied if they get 1ife, The ?llmu i 18 lutnbered up with that kind of mn- eriak, The next class is to e found in. the fourth chapter of Jolm, That woman met Clirlst at thowell and got one draught of the Mvinge water, and sho went and pablished the fuct o’? Christ’s presence and what Ho done for her to the whole town. Thet is a better elass than the other—they have got so far that they can testify, But therg s still o botter cluss, In the seventh chapter of John wo thd: If any mon thiest det him come unto Me and drink, ° Ie that belloveth on Mo us the Scrlpture lm'h £aid, out of hla bolly shall dow rlvers of living water. ‘This Is tho kind of Christ'ans we want,—those with a living stream flowlug right out of them, In this country wo have two_ways of digeing wells. Oney us you who have lived in the conne try know, I to dlg untll wo come to water, then to stono it up, put in s pump, wnd pump, How many Chrlstlans are Jus‘. llke this kind of welle, They keap on puinplug and pumplug, and thelr, yruuchlug, therelore, I+ hard and foree work, That Is Just the trouble. You camnot et anything out of A inn unless there la some- thing i hink, You caunot get water out of o dry well. But thero s another way of mnking o well, Youdle down through the gravel; ond sand, and elay, down untll vou ktrike thu lower strata, ond then_ up comes the water 100 feet high, ‘Ihat {8 the arteslan well, and the Christhis we want are thoso with u similar overflow, T'cople say sometimes they woidor some man don't break down, 1t Is u wonder thuse who ars pumplie all the time don't break down. There §s no fear of the artesiau-well people boroming exhaust. ed; they have so ch water that It fust Rows vut. Il wagot afow Christlans of this class here wo will soon foel their {nfluence. Well, if wu seek for this gift of the Holy Spirit we shall getit, (od wauts us to scel {t, sud when we et filled with tha Spirit_everybody around us wiil fecl our Influonce, Wo will ttien have the spirit of wisdom, humility, and meckuess, We won't go around scolding people. There fsa class of CHUNCH MEMDBRS WII0 GO AROUND SCOLDING ONN ANUTHEL and trying to turi tho church agalnst the min- ister, aud making beliove that they are ona higher planc than the rest, Thal 13 not the ll) rlt of meekness or humility, or tha spirit of tho Holy Ghost, Those who really have it do not talk about it. They let other fn:opln find it out. Nothing mokes n man filled "with the spirit so mortified us to have people fiet up and twk about him, Al hio hisclt thinks ubout Ls to exalt Christ, That I8 the uul?' way to reach the world—holding up Chirist to the people, und not trying to druw the people Lo youraelves, [f you bhuve the baptism, they will tud b out Without sny ll‘\rmluumllull on your part. In the twentieth clapter of Jolu we are told of ks dlsvipics receiving the Holy Ghost. "They had heen converted by the Holy Ghast, but they recatved b the sécond thne Lo be better fited for their work, How much do you Afl[)))(llll those carly Chiristiune would have accomplished had they” gonu wut preaching befors the !mnr camo i ‘Tdie " rank. and tile of his world ueed this reloforcement of the Holy 8pirit just as much an tho the preachers.

Yo have notfeed men with this power that inve stood up In the pulpit, and seemed to talk with a new tongue. Rome men I have heard speak with grent eloquence amd fluency, but it has been like “sounding Linss and ‘tinkling cym- bal," nobody was ever reached by it If rome of those In thia city wera anointed with this power, what good they could do! This Northe west would goon come under thelr influence, Formy part I woula rather hava one deop of God’s power than all the wisdom In the world ong drap ot His power fs worth all the wisdont and {ntcilectual strength of this earth, I believe this gt for service s the thing that the Church has mislnid. Conversion i one thing, and that s anothor distinet and separates and (6 scems to ine that the Church has iatd it aside, and tha result ia that hunireda and thousgands como fnto the Church without even seeking this ruwcr. A grent many sas they have this bless nir beeausa they recelved ¢ ten years ngo. They livo on that, and scem to forget that"there 18 such o thing as losing it Ilow inany men can you remember who il mighty work ten or fificen years ago who have noge of the power now! Thux preached with unction from Ieaven, and the Dlessing of Uod rested upon their labors, But they have Tost the powers. They have forgotien thi great truth, that we must keep golng to the fountain- head to get filledd, Men. must’ have fresh sup- phies.. We do not gret enongh of Chirfst at once to carry us through Hfe; we must get fresh sup- plics ol power, ~ The manna camae down fresh every day for the {sraclites; and the reason we have a0 many lean and stacved Christlens is beeanse they live on stale manus. We are Ieaky vesaels and losa the power, Wae tind that the tisciples were several times Mled with the Ioly Ghost, and we should profit by thelr ex- perence. Ilundreds of men lose the power without knowing it; and they go an with their forms of preaching, and are astontslied at their want of success. A minister came to me to- day und nsked, *Howean T keep free and not he trammeled when I attempt to preach?® 11,7 I replied, %o nan bs flleq with the Holy (Ghost hie aln’t tramme.ed—he han perfect frec- dom. Jeremfah sald the Lord head of brass, and he went el fearlessly as before u peasant, filled with God he don't care about publie opin- fon. Il Is simply a mouthpicee to DELIVER 0OD'S MESSAGE WITIt LOLDNESS AND PEARLESSNENS, T remember many u time I hate gone from one place to another, and I liave sald, *“Now God enve me grace n that place, and I'shall do the sume here.'” T have tried to earey on the sworlk with the saine prace and falled ntterly; and I found I bad to come right back and get fresh ower, And I belleve that for every work we have to do for God we should get new power, The slrun‘nlx Gad has_given mo for Chieago won't do for Boston, I ahall have to get a fresh nurpl,v for tho mcetings there, Wherni a mnan s thirsty ho wants water, and so when Christians are thirsty they want the Ifely Spirit nbove everytling clse, The trouble at present ia there Is not enoueh thirst among Christians, A man enne to mo the other day and sald his pastor was troubled about something and was {n ' great distress, *Well,” sald I, “Iet hlin alone, hie |3 nt riS:'M; he is thirsty and going to get filled How. Paut went down to Epliesus and found some men preaching with great powdr, and he saul unto them: “llave” you received the [oly (ihost aince you belleved " That Is certainly n strange queatton, If there is no such thing as recelving it after conversion. Ity be that I am wrong, but T wish you would take your Bibles and seo if this s so; and, ifit is, then seok this gift. Letters come in_from all over the Northwest nsking us to send men here nud there. Tf we hnd & number of menanolnted, we mlzht send them out as they woro sent out front dJerusalemn. The power of God rested on those enrly Chrlstlans. They were unlearned men, They went through no theologleal seminary., There nre thousands more tatented than thoy werey hut they had the Holy Spirit. WHEN | PINST WENT TO ENGLAND | 1 was a little afrafd of my theolomy, for fedr it should not jibe with thelrs, Ihadn't my fore- head covered with Lrass then. At one of tha carly incetings L saw one man with his tiead covered with his hands. I tlionght he was mortlfied about my theology, When the meet- ing was over he grabbed his hat, and awny he went. I gave him up, and thought he wonld not come again. Iie was not nt {he next few meetings, but one day lie got up at the prayer, and there was such a cliange in him that f rearcely knew him, [T sald then that he wns thorouishly convincedithut what I sald was truc; that ho felt he had been preaching without tha power, and that e lad made up hls mind togotit. fle went and locked himsclf In his closety aud God revealed Himselfl to his eoul, It wos not a month before the people could not get into that man's church, I ot him liefore I salled for this country, and hg told me that Do lind not preached a fermon since withe out converting some one, There was another man in Edinburg who algo had the power re- newed, and did great work for the Lord, e told me he was g0 overjoyed ot this that lic could not moun wlhen his wife died. “T'ho fact 18, Mr, Moody,"” he sald, “slic lved so near ITeaven that she dld not have far to go when she diel.” Mr. Moody ther gave the following sutnmary of the pussiges beiriug on this gues- tlon: Luke, iv., Jesus was filled with the spirit and realsted and overcame the devil; so every- one fllled with the splrlt would overcoma the devil; Acts, i, 3, the disciples re- celved the llulf Ghost and then witnessed for Jesus: Acts 1L, 4. And they were all el with the oly Ghost aud begen to speak with other tongues;” Acts fv., 8, aud Acts v, 813 *They were all filled with the Holy Ghost and apoke the Word of Gud with boldness;” Acts vh, 510, Btephen was filled with the Holy Ghost ond no man could resist his wisdom; Acts ix., 17, 20, and 225 Paul was filled with the Holy (ihoat and preached Chirlst; Acts xL; Barnabus was filted with the llully Ghost and muny people were added to tho Church; Acts xill, 525 the Desciples were filled with the [loly Spirlt and great multitudes bolleved. Mr, Moody conclud- ed us follows: And there will bo great mul- titudes belleving in Chicago if weo ‘got fitled with tho lloly Ghost, My friends, shall wo seck this powerl 1low many hearts here are erylug for this fresh anolntmenti Let It hoa solenm qquestion between you and God.

MARY ANDERSON AS PARTITENTA. “Very good for a young woman,” was the comment of ane who had been in the audience at McVicker's last night, os he left the theatre, “ And very good for an old woman, teo,” was. the responee, There was justice in both opine fons. Miss Anderson's impersonation of Par- thenia was ood for & young womau possessed of remarkable natural gifts, or for an old woman, not so richly cndowed, who might lave supplied throughout the deficlencics of nature. The most noticeable fea- ture of the performance twas the re- scrvo she exercised. She did not once o'er- step the modesty of nature—her restralnt was nover once relaxed. In view of the temptation to rant, and the certaln knowledge she must have had that violent gesticulation and loud talking would please n large portion of her audicnee, her scif-lenial was wommendable. Shemight have represented other than a Greelan malden—qulet, diznified, subdued, but varnest, passionate andsell-contalned—if she had choren. She did not ouce choose, although Larbarous (ireclans and untutored barbarlans occupied the ground on all sides of her. It would be vasy to pofut out defects In Miss ‘Anderson’s acting—to say that hicr walk In the first act was awkward, that her gestures at timea were cramped, that hier business was meagre and defective. But small cavil of thisdeseription really has nu place in covnection with her. ~ She has risen, through the force of nature, to a position fn the rrnrw slon at which it is more appropriate to point ont the beauties of her acting fhan to consumic time in secking for blemtshes in it. There 3 dh'-{msmou among many well-mean- tng friends and admirers of Miss Anderson to withhold praise fzom her, lest too hencat talk may ruln her professionat carver, making her well-satisfied with herself and vontent to rest upon her present acquirements, If she has any thoughta of this descrivtion she should at onee dismiss them. She sbould perceive that what Is wonderful in a girl of 17 mizht not be The fate of infant cudured In a woman of 80, phenpmena on the stage, from the time of Master Betty, has mot been of o nature to cucournge asplrants In their ficld of Industry. But Miss Auderson i3 not an infant phenomenon. and she does not thierlsh puch abgurd notions as have heen at- tributed to her, Her reading, her action, her ctage-prerence show that she is a couscientious und’ quick learner. She muat pursue with perseveranve the path she has entered and prova the title to which she bas a3 yet only lald elnlm, The beauty of the performance” Inst night conafsted, as has been sald, In the fntensity and nuictuess of the method employed. It §s possi- hle that Miss Auderson disappointed & few who liad hoped to hear nobse, but even of these most must have been satistied with the force, diemity, aud sympathetle charm which they found” fastead of what they lmd «ome for, Of the persons present who nre accustomed to the new seliool of acting not one could have been disappointed. All admired the sufficient dignity with wiich shie waved off the ndvances of Polydor, her arch and coquettish triflng with Zngomar tit the second acty her stern defense nzalnst lis rude attack, and her mlld taming-of his wild spirlt in thethird, When Jagomar cried, “Thy Iife!” ehe ‘sald ritply, “7Take 1t thougl “with o crampud gesture and stonping posturc which partially ~ spofled the ~ forve of her speceh, But all was redeemed when, & moment afterwards, he lav stretehed at her feet, and she sald, with tenderness, ' \Was 1 too hiarsh with htin#* "'The best seenc In the wholo play, perhaps, was the bit of expressive lmlllnmlmc n the fourth act, when 2arthenin nduced her lover to rurrender suceessively his cloak of ekins, his halr and beard, and his sword, There was more here in the motlon than in the speech.

From this position thero was no appearance of land to the northe ward, but, curiously enough, the depth of water was found tuv he only geventy~ two fathome. Owing to the esiraordinary nature of tho pressed-up ice a ropdway had to be formed by pickaxes for nearly hall the dis- tance trayeled hefore any advand ould ba safely made, even with lght loads; this ren. dered ft nlways necessary to drive the sledge- Joads Iurwnni by lustalltments, and therefore to Jouruey over the satue road several times, The udvance was vonsequently very slow, and vnly averaged about one aud obe-quarter miles daily In fact nuch the sume rate attained by &ir E.
