all whom il may concern:
t becomes my painful duty to inform
public generally that I have this day
igoed my connection with tie A. M.
Church, and I do not leave her
ious cause without sincere regret;
earliest ideas of Christianity were
ulcated in me with her ; some of her
inters I revere And esteem as highly
ne man om another, and it is partly
this ftttHmn? the* I h*arUJ; rejmd *4*e
rse I have been compelled to pursue,
be particular causts of my greivance
ill not now make public, for fear it
y redound to her discomfiture and
ious injury; suffice it to say, however,
t the Stewards and Trustees of the
nton Church have by letter ex-
ssed deep sympathy and great confi-
ce in me as a Christian minister ami
lie servant, partiug with me in the
>st affecting terms, which I can assure
m and the public, will be cherished
b the same spirit by me and in which
xpect to receive sonu cousolatiou in
alter years and of w hom I cherish
at love and esteem,
love the church as dearly as ever
dutv tc rnyselt and God, demand
me .hat I should sever my connection
th her, in tact, I could not remain
ger without sacrificing every priuci-
of Christian manhood.
With the hope that you will publish
above.
I remain.
Yours truly for right,

t the atteruuou meeting, at three
ook, the Madison avenue hall was
•e crowded tbau ever before on a Suu
afternoon, and the majority of 'hose
it were men. The services opened
i the singing of the 119th hymn,
ise, My Soul, Arise,” and after a
*t prayer, Mr. Moody addressed the
lie. * His sujoct was, “Instant-
ms Salvation.” He argued that
e was no necessity of any one tryiug
ive themselves, that all that was
isary for a man to do was to throw
self into the arms of Christ aud ask
help. Faith alone was not sufficient,
the man must humble bimsell to ask
to help him, and then he would be
d. There was no sinner so low but
d in one moment be brought back
hrist il he would bring his heart to
pt Him aud accept His word. There
auy number of illustraiious in the
i of what was meaut by instant-
us salvation. When Noah weut into

He compared the slave to tae sinner who
is tryiug to reach God; he Is ou the line
ot salvation, and the work .of a moment
may bring him across or dash him back
to perdition. He then preached on the
doctrine of reconciliation to God. aud
spoke to his hearers of the depth ot
tenderness ot a mother’s love, aud then
told a touching story of au ouly and
wayward sou who quarrelled with his
father and left his home for years. The
father was too proud to send for the sou,
aud the sou was too proud to come to tbo
i lather, but the loving mother ou her
l deathbed asked lor her son, aud the
l father sent a dispatch for him. When
[ the prodigal entered the room the father,
I still obstinate, would uot recognize his
I offspring. The sou stood at one side of
• the dyiug woman s bed aud the lather
| aud husband ou the other, and as she
was passing away into tie valley oi death
she joined the hands of her husband aud
her sou. Their eyes met aud the lather
with one cry, look his sou to his bosom
aud they were reconciled lorever.
During this part of Mr. Moody's dis
course many strong men throughout
the audience were affected to tears.
The mettiug concluded with the Fifty-
fourth bymu, “Just as I am, without
one plea. ’
The same sermon was repeated in the
evening to au audience of 7,500, among
which were at least 6, 500 men.
After the general meeting the inquiry
rooms were filled with people looking
lor light and the Christian workers had

Mr. Moody Himself.
Speaking of Mr. Moody, the great
tevivalist, who has created such a reli
gious excitement in this country, as well
us in England, the Watchmau says:
Mr. Moody is a good talker, but no
preacher; has little maguetism, but great
executive ability; has uot much power
to move masesof people sympathetically,
bm a great general to direct and control
them. He is no orator, but au iuteusly
earnest, practical worker. A thick-set
mau, w'ith heavy, full, black beard; a
penetrating, but musical voice; with a
neck so short that, as Mr. Lincoln said
of Gen. Sheridan, “He hasn’t enough to
be bung with.” His prompt, earnest,
systematic muuagemeut of affairs im
presses you, not that he is a contempla
tive devotee, but that he is a thorough
business man in matters of religion.
His forces are thoroughly organized, aud
he has them under perfect control.
Everything is done deceutly and in per
fect order, aud with great propriety,
aud iu good taste; but it is business,
emphatically. There is nothing pre
tentions about him, nothing arrogant
or boastful. His plaiu, earnest Bible
talks go right to the hearts and con
sciences of all classes. It is interesting
to notice how his associates fall into
lino at his word of commaud. Venerable
doctors of divinity, sedate professors,
pulpit orators,—who have a leadership of
their own,—all obey Mr. Moody, when
he tells them to pray, or speak, aud how
much time to occupy. He has the power
to control meu, effectually, but uot offeu-
sively.
