Editor News: “See Rome ami die, M is poetical and sounds very well in certain way, and could be applica- ble to a few who go into ecstasies j when viewing some ancient city or i some relic of fame of bygone days; but to a man essentially modern, with but little admiration for ancient ar- cbifecture or the traditions thereof, I should say, “Hear Moody and San- key, and then die.” Those who have never heard these famous evangelists have little con¬ ception of the good done mankind by them when holding vast audien¬ ces spell-bound through their mag¬ netism and eloquence. Since com¬ mencing their meetings in Baltimore a r* great many j have been benefitttd thereby. hold service, in the CyeTo. buildup, »!.ich has the largest • , seatniij .* capacity * J or any uuilding in the . he . . . , city. 1 choir is composed 300 picl-.e 1 voices, which discourse 8Weet music while 200 ushers the people to seats. It is brilliantly lit up by twenty arc electric lights, and when 7,000 il- luinined, eager faces are upturned, listening u idi rapt attention to these great evangelists, it is certainly a striking illustration of man’s power over man. Moody is the image of President Harrison, while Sankey closely re- semblos the late ex-President Arthur. Originality is Mr. Moody’s most pronounced feature, and one which lie uses in the most practical manner. Ripples of amusements pass over the audience as lie tells some anec- dote as an illustration while preach - ing. His eves s'em to be everywhere at once, and on noting every new group of persons coming in at any of the entrances, lie calls out to the ushers and visitors where seats can be found or admonishes others to make room, doing the duties of head ushers, leader of the meeting an 1 general manager at one and the same time. The long wait before the opening of each service is filled in with hymns by the choir, and under the direction of Mr. tfankey the choruses are sung over by differnt parts of the congre¬ gation with great effect. Tim voices of the whole congregation s vel 1 forth fi, SOMiy beautiful hymn,a i l the < h >- rus is echoed by tho*e in the galler- es the opposite side of the build- in gr. Amusing contests of singing between the men and women would bring ferth for the edification of either side of “You ought to be j ashamed of yourselves.” The men were, however generally worsted. : Sometimes when the singing appears to lag, Mr Moody gets the audience to sirg without the choir. Mr. Moo ly is a rapi 1 speaker and never pauses for a word, and in his originality, magnetism and eloquence almost hv n li/es an audience. Ho will, after giving his text, -tart out with a few common place remarks then gradually work I is wayup until by some striking illustr; - tiott or startling comparison he con¬ centrates the audience’s closest atteti- tiou to his utterances, and then will break into afluvof eloquence so irresistible, pleading and convincing that very few of his hearers can re¬ sist giving themselves to the great cause he represents. Of Mr. Sankey can be said that lie is one of the sweetest singers of sacred music in exis'ence. He has a rich baritone voice of rare power ai d expression. IIis -pecialty is in singing solos at the conclusion of Mr. Moody’s sermons, and tne sinn-r that escapes one is sure to be captured by the other. Mr. Sankey plays his own accom¬ paniment on an orgac, s.ad til? plain¬ tive notes that swell from that instru¬ ment. mingled with a voice so plead¬ ing and of such wondrous sweetness when singing “Jesus, lover of my soul”, changes a mortal into an angel, and by closing your eyes and listen¬ ing you can drift, drift on up, aK most to the pearly gates of Paradise.
