Boston, Mass., April 7.—In one of Mr, 3toody's admirable lectures In Chlcago, on tho Jloly Spirit, in speaking of the *Baptismal Bervico™ hesaid: * Whenever wo go toa new placo, wo have to get a spevial baptism of power for tho work there. Tho blessing that the Lord 1s glving us here fn Chicago won't do for Dos- ton” . g The wisdom, o8 well as the doctrinal sound- nese, of this remark, has been demonstrated by Mr. Moody’s experience. Tho blessing whicl enabled him to accomplish such wonders in one clty served chlefly to awaken religious curlosity In thp otter, The wonders of the Chicazo inquiry-room and the miracles of tho Gorpel temperance-mectings were regarded in Boston as religlous prodigles, to bo studied, much ns Mr, Agassiz uscd to study a néw soecics of fish. . ¥rom the summit of the Chivogo revival Mr, Moody made a stride to Tri-Mountaln, but etralghtway found hinselt in - A DIFFERENT ATMOSPIIERE. ‘The enst winds struck him adversely; the cold criticlsm of. the Doston theology made “him shiver; the stinging eatirs and absurd carica- tures of Boston concelt and atheism camo o8 fiear to making htm mad as s supposed to Bo possible In his case; while, for about the space of two months, he Iabored with and belabored those slow bellevers, in ho attempt to bring them, first, to understand that they were sin- ners needing salvatfon; and, second, to see and accept that salvation In Jesus Chrlst.

Whether Moaton declined” to recelve assistance fromn so new and so distant a recion, or whether the skles suddenly brightened, thus removing the oceasion for this help, bus not publicly trans- pired, At any rate, Mr. Moody went on alone, With only atich assistanco ss his fmmediate sur- roundings nTorded.
