A BPECIAL CASE. Mr. Moody, before cloaing the meeting, sald: Befora I close, I want to present thy case of a young man in whom I lnve felt ereatly Interest- ed. You remember that 1ast nlicht aman who I sald was a fugitive from justice hod came to me, confessed his sing, gven himself to Christ, an thon, feeling that Lie did not belong to himacll but to the law, had gouo back to his hone in another 8tate, where the Governor iind offered o reward for s apprehension, and given himaelf .| bis up with n prospeet of huln( puilstied by ten years in the Penitentlary, Wa praycd for his roken-hearted wife and’ family ‘at ‘the Taber- nacle, and after the sermon this young man camo to me and sald he nlgo was o fugitive. 1lo had a wife and child, but had beon ohliged to fl‘{ from his home; but (fod lust night had opened his eyes, and ho wanted to give up his sina and find Christ. Of course { eive no names, but the young man Is here to-day; let us proy for i, And any of you who wish to meet us for a word of personal ‘instruction come inta_the inquiry- rooms, which have been arranged at the cnds and under the gallery, and we will e pglad to lielp you carry your butrdens, aud show you Liow to lay them on Christ. Mr. Moody then offered an earnest prayer on behnlf of the two cases to which he lad re- ferred, in which tho congregation joined with deu{) emotion, The after-meetings were then called, The woman’s meeting, in the upper hall, for some timo pst has becn in charge of Miss Dryer and Mra, Willing.

TILE AFTERNOON MBETING at Farwell Hall yesterday was of an unusual, but nevertheless deoply (ntercsting, character, It was composed largely of Christians who feel that the blessing of conversion, while delightful in ita individual results, i not enough for those who wish to cogage in the noble pursult of sav- Iog souls from perdition, Mr. Moody's fdea ex- tends even beyond this, and he has labored with great zeal and na 1ittlo skilt to impress his bo- lief on others during tho past few weeks, that to be successful in Christ's vineyard a renewal of tho Holy Spirit at ntervals (the shoricr the bettor) fs ansolutely necessary. ‘Thls theory of the great ovangelist has taken deep root in Chi- eago, not only among church members, but aniong the regular preacners of the Gospel, and the ‘meettng yesterday was onc of the flattering results of Mr. Moody's teaching. Its declared object was to pray for the giit of tho Holy Ghost for eervice, nnd, though there were at times every mmnlullon to lapse into the or- d!xmr{ l)myer-mccung style of supplication, the espuclul object was kept In view up to the close. Te meeiing was not so largely attended ns some of the nfternoon serfes have beenj its solemn object In n measure precluded the pres- ence of the ordinary seckers after truth. Tho Jower part of tho hall, huwever, was comforta- bly filled, and the general demcunor of the audience showed that the majority were pro- foundly fu earnest in thefe efforts 1o sccure a rencwed supply of Divine gruce. 'Theo responses during the prayers were pecullarly fervent; at times almost tiie wholo usgembly secined to by moved with some deep emotion, nnd the labored annplrmann of sumo werg frequently palnful to car. The meeting opened in the usual manner, Mr. Bliss taking & promiuent part fn the singing. After the customary preliminuries, MRt MOODY #AID! 1 supposc you are all aware that the object of this mecting fs not that of au ordivary prayer- meeting; it Is a special meeting for a special ob- jeet. Wo have not come here this afternoon o pray for the Churelt, nor for the country, nor for our unconverted friends, but-we have just come to wait ou God for ouraelves, that we miay Lo indued with power [rom un hi; We have had four afternoon mevtings, at which we have been talking abuut the Holy Spirit and reading different portivus of the " Beripture, and now we have come to pray thut the Lord may fill us, Ihope there won't be a el cral prayer-meoting here, but [ hope our pray ers and thoughts will ml be concentrated onthat one thing—that the Lord may fill us. And it any of you are full, pray for the rest of us that God may 1§ us. Let us just boy our hends and havea tew inoments stient watting on God with prayes, ¥ H\’:\'crul moments were accordingly. spent In sllent prayer, and then mindster after minister rose und earnestly supplicuted God for the gilt of tho IHaly “Ghost for service, way of varlation o hymn wos sung now and then, the audience enterlug heartlly into the spirit of the musie. On the invitation of Mr. Moody, those who were Parl(cnlnrly unxious for the great ilt rose to thelr fect fin order that speciel appeals might bo made in thelr favor. About onc-half of thoss present sppeared to particlpate in this stient request, nl;ufi I;IIIUUIM' seusou of prayer ensued In - thelr cholf. TRAYER, Townrds the close Mr. Moody addressed the Throne of Grace ns folluws: ™ Qur Heavenly Tather, a8 we think of the lifeof Thy beluved Bou on earth, and then look at our own lives, wao feel like getting Into the dust before Thes, As we thik lhers todday of the frult of the Bpirlt, we feel” guilty that }vn have not been filled with uve. Ol! God forgive us, and flil cach oue of us to-duy with love. And way the wamo Jove that was'in the heurt of our Master be in our hearts. May the eame mind that was in Him be fnus, that we may bo Chriat-like fn oll our ways, in honor preferring one another. Ol Uod, Thou knowest what an enemy we have in ourselvesl 1lelp us to get to the end of eclf, and mn¥ sulf bu crucitled! Ohl that we mia: know what it s to be nalled to the cross with Chirlst, snd that the old man may be put olf with alt his deeds, and that we may put on the new wan. Amenl{ As we heard of that joy to-dav we felt guilty, We have not been filled with the Joy of the Lord. We have lived 50 unlike Christ und so far from 1l that we lave hot had that joy, that peace, that we heard read of to-day, We have bave not been long- sulleriog like our Master, [**No,” ** Nu."| Wy liuve not been meek and towly-minded like Him, “Lord help us”] Ol Lord, forgive us. wAmen| We nik to-day thut Thou have erey wtpon us. Thou knoweat how llable we are to bo led astray by the enemy of all souls, but we come to-day to ask, O Lord, not only for forgiveness, but Lo nak thut Thou will glye us the Holy Spirit, that we may have power given us from on hlglx, that the unction of God may be upon us, that the Holy Uliost may rest upon us fu power, [*Amen”) Thou hust lignored someof 1so preach, und othens to labor 1n'U'hy vineyard towinsouls toThee. loweanwe preach, how can wo wurk, 1 we dan't have this power{ Oht God, for Christ's sake, give it t us to-duy, May we bo uble to sny, us we go irow this place, that surcly He wuy in our nldst, nud thut the Son Imseif has breathed upun us the llulf' Splrit, Ob, Thou @od of Bteplien, ‘Thou tlod of Barnabas, wilt Thou give us the aauu eplrit thet Thou didst give thoss ey, xo that our faces nay shine, und that the world may say that we have stircly got tho sume mind aud tho sume splrit that “was fn Chrlst when bo was on carth, “Amen.)

As tucsound of the cvangellst's volco dled sway onc could hear nulhlu;fiml. weoping, and half smothered ejuculations. No one moved for suvernl minutes, and au msginative mun might Lave lovked fop altaost auylblog to. Luppun. Junt na tho excitement was reaching its highest itch, tho soothing volee of Brother Dliss was ieard singing {n a low tone— Come, Holy Rpirit, heavenly Dove, With all thy qatckening pawers, Kindle a flanis of sacred love In thoso cald licarts of ours! ‘The rellel camo Just at the proper time, A moment ore of atuch bigh-pressure excltement might have had serlous conscquences, One by oue the andience caught up the alrand sang ft as though glad to have gotten over this critical polnt of the meeting. few mora prayers followed, and the beno- dictlon by Prof. Hopkins brought to a ciose one of tho most rumarkable mectings of the revlyal, e THE TABERNACLE. A BTILL PURTUER INCREASE in the congregation was evident lnst evening, and in all respects the meeting was one of the Dbest which has yet been held, Before the regu- Inr exorcises opened, the ctiolr sang Mr. Moody's fayorite theologlcal hymn * Freo from the law, O happy condition.” "Some of the English gen- tlemen used to say that Mr. Moody was the most perfectly free from all sorts of law of any man they had everknown, Hecared not a fig fur thelr social distinctions, thelr doctrinal Prejmllccs, thelr church traditions, thelr laws of etiquette, thelr rules uf precedence, or o fact noything clse by which they had been aceustomed o sce men governed, Keally, sald they, he §sso free Timaclf that it 1s somelimes rather uncomforts ablo for any ono who lappens to differ from . "T'hat same thing must bé apparent o all who have seen the absolute abandon with which he throws himself futo his work, and the absolute frecdom withiwhich Lic says just what he ks, even about the personal and eternal questions which difercut classes of people are all the time rusing in_nis mind. Jt 8 bardly worth while for people to rise and go “out because of ‘the remarkablo freedom of tho speaker, 08 somo people cvidently did Inst evening, since by this time it must be gen- erally understood that Mr, Mumlir is fn the en- Jogment of great luerty, and will say just what cumnes into his head, ¢ though the hall wus fllled with Kings, Emperors, members of Con- reas, and Protessors in schools of theology. nd this very fact is one of the-reasuns why s0 many people belleve in liiny, and Flm thémselves up to be guided by his notions of the truth. Ko {ar as ho kuows, nohody was ever saved by fine manners or the solt nothings of fasbiounble pulplts, or other fashionavie plans; but a good mnux sluners have been saved by mcans of bard knocks, and that Is the kind of doctrinal practice in which he greatly excels. Tt is casy tu pardon lim for assumniug that suy- hody who I8 not going In the same theologival pati with bimeclf {s on the road to pevdition, since hie ia alwaya ready o seize hold of the sup- Imud lost one und pull witn all his might to get i out of the wrong way and into the rignt ne. ‘The otlier night a modest atranger from the couuntry arrived in this eity with a lieavy chest of valuables, which he dld 1ot know where to do- posit while lie should attend the meeting at the ‘Tabernacie, which was just about to begin. While he sat on his box in an anxious frame of mind a stout, jolly-look- ing chap camo along and asked hind what he wanted. ‘Pho counteyaan explained his difl- culty, und asked if he tiought tuat they would Jet Iilin put bis clicst in one of tho snall rooms of the ‘Tubernacle, while le went fn to hear Moody and Saukey. “0h, yes," suld tho good-natured man. “1Here, give me hold of onc eud of your box, and I will lu.-lP you carry it. I am golng down there mysell.” ~ The stranger was very much delighted, and not a little surprised at the kind- ness of his new acquaintnee, who Inslsted on carrying his tull shutre of the load; but when they reached the bultding, and ne found him- seif and his chest tuken into the preacher's Privnm room, he gave a great starc, opened ila mouth with horror, and - with stammering tongue cxclafined: ¢ What! you be Mr, Moody himself1” There i8 evidently one law from which Mr. Moody s not free, an does not wish to be, viz: “Bear ye one an- other's burdens, aml go fulfill the law of Chrlst,” ‘The opening prayer was by Bishop Chepey} the songa were, * Pull for the shore,” the # Hullelujals Chorug,” and " Are your win- dowa upetied towards Jeruealem The Scripture lessun wis from the seventeenth chapter of Luke, belng the account of the cleans- Ingofthe ten lepers. Tho tople of tho dis- course was CONFESSING CHRIST. 1f thou shalt confees with thy mouth the Lord Jesuw, and shalt beliove in thine heart that God hath raleed Hin from the dead, thou shslt bo saved,—Nomans, X., O Mr, Moody sald: s The uther night, I tried to show you how tobelfevein Christ; to-night & want to tuke you one step furtlber and urge you to coutess to Him, Inthe tenth chupter of Romans, tenth verse, you will find these words: *For with the beart mun belleveth unto righteousnecss; and with the mouth confession 5 made unto salvation.” There are a great many people who have got Into trouble bLecause they do uot have the juy they bave heard other Christian rcuplu talk about, ‘They say they belicve n the Lord Jesus Christy they ‘say they trust illm, and Him alone, for ealvation; they say thnt Chirist i3 their only liope; but thero t.hui' stop. Now Ieny to you'that confession is 08 lmportant as foith, ¥ With the heart man belleveth unto righteousnces, and with tho mouth confesslon I8 made unto ralvation.’ ‘Then the next verse—** For the Scripture sny- ctl, Whosgever belicyeth on Him shall nut be ashamed.” Now, it o man really belleves fn his heart, the moxt thing ho ought to do s to confess Christ, And ~you won't pget the blessing until you do, *With the mouth confesslon s mudle unto salvation,” The fact of the matter Is, that we aro all moral cuwards; we are ashained to como out and confess Christ aud take our stand on the Lord's slde, and on the side of 1lls re- liglon. It Is the unly religion (u the world that I8 worth baviug; it is the only roligion in the world that gives life to man§ but, straoge to say, I beleve we are the only people on carth who_are ashamed of our religlon. You cannot find o man who holds any fulse doc- trine of retigion who s not Ymud of lt, Ifa mau hos got bold of an error ho fs not nshamed to confess it aud acknowledge ft toall men. A manwho I8 in theservice of Satanis not ashamed of it You hear such men swearing on the atrect, proclaiming who s thelr muster every duy; they scem to bo proud of the devil and to Mlkie Lo have every oue kuuw that they are ser- vunts of his. 1t suinctimes happens that those who have rouc away from our meetings under the in- Yluouce of a changed heart come to me after- ward and say tuat they uro still in darkness, I say to them, therw is a reason for this; did you confess Chirlat when you went homed NG, o thouicht L would wall and sce how it would hold out before I told any one.”” But that is not the dight way to " do. You gee ft s with the Dieart wnan belloveth, and the next step I8 to confess Iim with the outh; to tell all that e hus done for you. I o man {s ashumed to do this, to take his stand on the Lord's slile, he will not get the benelit of his convictlon. In fact, itis tonfession unto salvation; sulvation vomes when wetuke our stand for Jesus Christ before all the world, About nine-tenths of the Christians are atiil- boru. They never say anything for Christ un- lesa you press thiem, und “wheu you usk them If they arv saved tho only thin, them”fs, “I hope so.” The thing to do 18 to conless Clirlsi cverywhere; dou't leave any doubt about it in the ininds of vour fwly or your busloces partners or your clerks. Cunlfess Christy—not profess hlm; the light will be clearer when you tuke both these steps. There wes o inan at our meeting the other night who resolved to bo n better man, amd anng other thines to stop swearlng.

The Bushmen have t¥o different myths to neeount for the origin of the moon; one of these forms an eplsode {n the story of the Muntis and his pet eland. When the Mantla sprang away from the Suricat In the darkness which he created fercing the gall-bladder of another cland, he Inconvenlenced by one of his shocs, which ho therefore took off and “threw into the sky, with the order that it should become the moon. ‘Thus the moon ia red, beeause the eliot of tlie Mantls was covered with the red dust of Bushmanland, and cold, because it Is only leather, In the Busiman sstrological loré, huwever, thu moon {8 looked upon 0s a man who Incurs the wrath of the sun, and s cousequently pierced by the knife (I. el raya) of the latter.” This process 18 repeated until almost the whole of the moon is cut away, and only one little plecs s left, which the nuon piicously implores the sun to sparo for his (the moon's) children, Then this little plecs of moon gradually grows again until it {mmmeu fuil mnoon, when the sun's stabbing and cutting processes recommence. This I a mnllg beautiful myth, and reminds one strongly of the interpretations which Max Muller and lis school bave put upon some of the old Greok myths. Aninals, it will be secn, oc- cupy & very largo place in Bushmau my- thoiogy, and this Is not to be wondered at when 1t is considered how large is_the place they fill In the Bushman munlrg, and how fm- poriant a part they play in the dally life of the people, . As in the Indo-European inythologles, many of the stars and cunstellations ars named ofter certain animals, and some of the astronoinical myths are elaborate and beauti- tiful, and someiirues cven touching., The sun, they say, I8 a wan, from whose nrmdfll Lrlght~ ness procecded, and who lived formerly on earth, but only gave light for o spece uround his house, Bome children who belonged tothe first Bushmen (who preceeded the Flat Bushinen in thelr country) were therefore sent to throw up the sleeping sun lutb the sky; since then he shines all over the earth. myth somewhat slinilar to this {s met among the Australinn gburigines, and there are man; 'Eulms of resemblance” between Bushman ane squimaux inythology, DBut it would be extremely rash to infer, on this count, that there had been any original con- nection or communieation betwien these races. Indeed we have hinted that analogies may Le found between Bushman and European mythol- ogy, and ftis not to be wonderca at if ‘nan points of resemblance be found between mythol- ogies ongiuating quite independeutly of each other. For have not all uneivilized people the same mythological elewments, I we may 8o call them, to deal with—"the heav- e¢ns above, the earth bepeath, and the water under the carth,” with thelr varfous denizens! Have they not all pretty much the suine kind of struggie for existence, and have they not that most fertlle and unie versal of human characteriatics, an {rresistible desire to assizn o cause to everything that comes within kenl I this last polutl mythology and selence meet, for it is this sanie unlversal fmpulse which nnlinates Loth—the desire of the human mind to eatisfy itscif as to the causcs of things. The Bushmen sccount fur the origin of thie Milky Way by relating low & girl of the ancient raco wished for a light, so that the people might seo to return Lume at night. She, therelore, threw wood-nshes Into (e sky, which became the Milky Way. Tils smne girly helnr vexed with her mother for giving hor too hittle of a certain red edible root, threw up portlons of it {nto the akyl where they beecame stars, The mentlon of au **ancicut ruce " n thls and otber myths s one among other fodications that the Bushmen are not _genuine Bouth Afrfean aborig- ines, but tuat they arc {ntruders upon a sull older race. Amont somo of the stars which have buen Identifled with animals in Bushman mythology are the following: The pointers to the Soutbern Cross ore male livns, whilo the stars Alpha, Beta, and Gamuma Crucis aro lion- usses. ‘Lho two lluns were lurmcrl;‘ men and at tho same timo lions, and one ol them be- ac- came o star becauee o girl looked at hin; tho other, apparently out of syme pathy, also became o star. They now stand silent, not far trom the lioncsscs, wha sit sllent. Aldeburalifs o male hartebeest, while Alpha Orionis is a female hartebeest. Procyon {30 male cland, whose wives ore Castor and Pollux. The stars In Orion's sword are malo tortoises hung upon a stick, and the three bright stars in Orfun’s Belt are fewale tortolses, uiso hung upon a stick. The = stars are divided futo night stars and duwn stars, and the latter are subjeits of some very fing and complicated mythological concep- tions, of which, however, only {raninents have a8 yet been obtained. Tho planet Juplter is called the “ Dawn's Heart," while some nelgh- borjug star, preceding Juplter, is the * Dawn’s Heart Child,” Juplter's daughter. Her relation to her father Is somewhut mysterlous, He calls her in the myth, “my heart,” swallows her, then walks alone as the only Dawn’s Heart Star till she grows up, when lie spits her out again. She then herself Lecomes another female Dawn's Heart, and spits out another Dawn’s Heart Child, which follows the wale aud femals Dawn's Heart. The story proceeds in u very Intricate faablon, and mauy other charaeters—all onlmals—are fotroduced. —_— ANUSEMENTS, McYICKER'S THEATRE---KELLOGG, Grand Bnglish Oper AMERICA'S MR.
