There is no hesitation, no beating about the bush; Mr. Moody'a earliest requewt is m cminciitiy hopef ui and practical one. "Letus praise God," he exclaims, " for what He is goiug to do in London;" and forthwith, without more prelude, he gives out the lOOth Psalm, the 10,000 people rise together, and, led by the harmonium, sing the grond old lines which all have learnt from their childhood. Itmaybe that "all people that on eaith do dweil " are objecting strenuously to comply with the request the chorus makos; the adjuration is none the less determined, and the wave of sound rolls round and round tho building, formüiga very ocean of melody such as may scarcely be imagined. Preachers and their people alike throw back their heads and shout out the refrain with heart and soul, gallery answers to gallery, the singers on the platform to the chorus below, and when Mr. Sankey calis for renewcd expression in the last verse, the audience makes one more grand effort with tremendous effect. A Mr. Billing now offers a short prayer, and with tliis tho "revival" service is inaugurated. -
