Revublican, The bad weather has been the excuse for a great falling off {n the audiences of Mr. Moody, but the crowd which thronged the Tabernacle on Monday night to hear Phillios Brooks was good indirect cvidonce that Boston is satfated with Moody. Mie isgetting cross atout it, too, and makes little petulant remarks unfavorable toBoston. There has been no revival yet, In the technleal senso of tho word,—very few con- verts have been made, and the oxcitement has been slight and superdicial since the first fort- night. This is accounted for differently by dif- ferent persous; but the favorite theory now Is that Moody has preactied too bitter a form of Calvinism. Mr, Murray sccms to take that view, and is now oppusing Moody, whom for a while be favored. I doubt if this has much to do with the comparativa fallure of tho rovival, Calvin- fsin in & more trenchant shape would very likely suceeed better. Ithink Mr. Moody has disappointed expectations, and that Mr. San- key hos done so still more. The Tabernacle did not draw so well as was expected, and thero wasa littlo of the deeper current of excltement about spiritual things, whon it began to grow tiresome a8 a place of amusement. So people tave loft Moodyand gone to the theatre. I asked at one theatre what effect the Tabernacle had on theatrleal nudiences. *Ob," sald the ticket-seller, **It helps us.” The ridiculo of the Sunday Times Is more an indication of the pop- ular current than o meanswol thwarting. the avangelists, The fun (s not very guod in itself, but there are some good caricatures, and the people are very willlog to lough at- them, An cditor who shonld caricature Phillips Brooks would soun sco his mistake. The pu‘mlnmy of that clergyman s remarkable, and all the viore greatifying because {t s based on solld qualitics rather than outaide attractions. Dr. Bartol, at the Chestnut street Club fst Monday, sct the senl of nis gentle but_conclusive censirs tpon both Moody and Joseph Cook.
