[From N. Y. Herald.] 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 bnc£ to servitude 1ft under the protection of the British 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 their hands full.

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. M ADAM SMITH, FORTUNE TELLER and ASTROLOGIST. Invites the public for consultation.
