We are all hoping, ne | @aid, to see the time soon when the great shower of | Diessing that is now falling upon Sogiand will also @escend upon this land.

If you were five mioutes late in the morning at their prayer | meetings you would find scarcely a place in the | highest gallery of that buge buliding, Her | Majesty’s Opera House. Look at the classes composing these prayer meetings, You will see a large number of the nobility at the Bible readings of the week days. You will proba- bly see a long row of elegant carriages waiting | outside the building; you will probably see among the people present the Prince and Prinvess of Wales, the Duchess of Southeriand—ste was there every day almost—and otuers of the highest rank. In Moody you would see @ man of the most prod! gious earnestness, and instead of getting tired he becomes more and more powerful as he goes on. They used te say that 1f Moody dia not preach at least three times a duy he became “restive.” THE KEY TO THEIR SUCCESS, An@ tnen you'd see @ man, rather larger of frame than Moody, sitting down beiore the organ | and saying, before he began ,playing, ‘In an | earnest and simple tone:—‘I hope yea will ail pray that this,bymn I’m going to play will be blessed to some one heart.” It's | the earnestuess of both men that sways the Er Spargeon sald that many preachefs who ad come to teach tne el could scarcely make themselves unde: but that when Moody spoke pobody could misunderstand him.

CYRUS DICKSON, D. D. A goodly number of worshippers assembled 10 listen to the teackings of Rev. Cyrus Dickson, in the Fourth Presbyterian church, yesterday morn- img. The reverend gentleman seiected his text from LL Timothy 1, 8:— “Be not thow thereiore ashamed of the tes- timony of our Lord, nor of me, his prisoner: but be thou partaken of the afflictions of the gos- pel according to the power of God,” &c. ‘This, said Mr. Dickson, is an exposition. There is a difference betWeen exposition and preaching. The object of exposition ts to abow the doctrines that He tn @ passage.

Here in this passage the apostle demonstrates the divin- ity of Christ, He cAlisupon those whom he ad- Gresses for an undivided worship. He impr : on them the gratitude they owe f0 Christ.
