Evans Recalls Revival of 1875 in This City and Compares the Men, Results and Condi tions of Both Campaigns , Baseball Evangelist's Task Greater, Says Writer, Be cause of Greater Evils and More' Complex Problems of Present Epoch. Bjr NELSON F. EVANS itr. Evans was a member of the Execu :..j rnminitltc in charge of tho Moody- t Bankcy campaign .and chief usher at the areat meeting), no was nt mm nmo '. vice president of the V. M. O. A. in this city, later becoming president of that in stitution. The following was terltlen by Aim ol th i request of the Evening Ledger . and is pittd exclusively in this paper. When the Moody and Sankcy revival camptilsn opened In rhlladelphla on No vember 21. 1875, llio wholo ntmoaphero of thij time, political, commercial, social and rellglotii, was decidedly different from that of today Wo wero then but ten j ears removed from tho Civil "War, which had left the country full of mourners, and but ttvo years from a great financial crlsla which had brought widespread depression and loss. As a. result of theso conditions the people woro tender and accessible to tho serious questions of llfo.. Into this atmosphere came Mr. Moody, wlth,hl's earnest, serious, persuasive man ner of prqachliie. am tho record of two spectacularly successful years of cam palgnliiB in Great Britain. Mr. John Wanamaker had purchased the old freight depot which occupied the site upon which his store now stands, and offered tho bulldlnc for use In tho revival campaign, postponing business. A great auditorium was constructed within tho wall? ot the depot, leaving an Inside lobby 20 feet wide Tietween It and the brick walls- There was a seating capacity for 11,000 persons and there wero six wide aisles, Three hundred ushers, divided Into gro.ups of 100 for each service, and to policemen handled the crowds, and although on several occasions thcro wero 'fully 13,000 persons In the building, there was no serious accident or Inconvenience to any one throughout tho eight weeks' campaign. Expenses Were $35,000 The expenses of the revival, such as alterations to the building, Its furnishing, printing, clerical work and the like, amounted to about 535,000. This sum was raised by private subscription, no collec tions being taken nt the meetings except at the closing service of the campaign, with which was blended the anniversary or tho Y. M. C. A., when a well organized appeal was made for that association and about (100,000 was collected. Another feature of these services was a choir of 500 voices, organized and led by William C. Fischer, a well known rhlladelphlan, who served gratuitously and with great success. I have no record of the conversions at the meetings; Indeed, I bellevo that no complete record was ever kept, although they amounted to several tnousana. In responso to tne appeals mauo uy to Mr. Moody nt tho close of the services tht dose who came forward wero usnereei into committee rooms behind tho platform, and were judiciously assigned to personal workers, who gave each one Individual 'attention, taking the name and address to be Immediately forwarded to the pastor Of aomo church and giving words of coun sel, advice or prajcr. A Great Evangelist To describe Mr. Moody and his work I can find no better words than those or the Rev. Dr. Washington Gladden, who writes: "Mr. Moody's preaching was also most persuasive and convincing. The style was always homely; tho rhetorical structure tytun often Imperfect; but he knew ex , actly what he wanted to say and he drove l- straight at It, with unswerving directness. ' Ufa theology sometimes bore a traditional sediment; the great themes of human need and the dlvtne compassion were pre sented with such clearness and fullness and tenderness that the medieval deposit was submerged. "bovo all, the spirit of the man was o sweet, so tolerant, so kindly, that he drew all heartB toward him, Ho had no bitter pr censorious words to speak about those, who differed with hlmsilie kindled no suspicions or hatred In human hearts; he hurled no maledictions." - Mr. Sankey had a. pleasing personality, ft- handsomo face and a clear and pOWer ff,! 4annH ..!..& -..ll nt .l..n,, an.1 nllhnl ,M liljy, YUILV, IUI W HICH.k ,v j...ww. i He could sing tho Gospel with an cnun Relation so perfect that every word could p v be. distinctly heard by the audience, and tats pecame as interesting ana moving as Mr. Moody's preaching. x oince Air. wooay s wortc ners conai- 5 j lions )n this country have changed greitt- ft S'vhik iur. ounuay a, crop1 ot new eviis, well as tha old ones, to deal with.

THE '"BILLY" SUNDAY BIBLE CLASS CENTRAL TRUTH OF TOMORROW'S LEBBON. (February SI, mi International BertesI Samuel tv, Uti, IS.) "RETRIBUTION" . By PEORGE G. POWEY The Bible is emphatic upon two Unca of teaching which, run parallel throughout the whole book; first, the reicard of the righteous, and second the nuM.jfcmenf of the tricked. This lesson on the. death of Ltl, the old nriest. and. his tveo sons, Uophni and rhinehas, also would conclude that it was just as H should be. The central truth of the lesson is plain. Qod's Word is infallible in its proclamation of a law which is both natural and spiritual, that "Whatso ever a man soweth that shall he also rap." The law of retribution Is just as natural and reasonable as the law of compensation. It is the law of cause and offset. Vice and virtue arc the two paths of human life. Th whole Bible ts written o shout the folly of vim and the wtidow of virtue, because of what the end shall be. Human experience oonfirms the truth of the Bible, "The wayes of sin U death. .

HOLMAN COMPANY KURDS APPRECIATED raSSIONARIES, WORK Medical Cnro Brought Friend ly Treatment at Urumia From Fierce Raiders Tha medical work dona Uy missionaries among tho Kurds around Ururala, Persia, ts ona ot tha factor which has resulted In their being regarded In a friendly light by these reputed fleroe tribesmen when tha latter invaded the territory near Urumia, according to a bulletin Issued by the Presbyterian Board ot Foreign Mis sions. Tho flight of 10,000 refugees from Urumia on the approach of Kurdish and Turkish troops is described In a letter written February 1 by tha Rev. J. R. Barnard, an English missionary of the Archbishop ot Canterbury's Mission, who left In Jan uary. "On tha following morning (January J), It was announced that Urumia was to be evacuated and subjects of alt tho allied Powers were wnrneil to leave," ho writes. "Tho Russian Vlco Consul and troops left that same evening, and we followed them bofore daybreak. Your missionaries Were In good spirits ns far as their own posi tion was concerned, and In no way appro henslvo. They aro favorably regarded by most If not nil ot tho neighboring Kurds, owing to tho medical work they havo done for them. Sloreover, when cer tain hadjla of Balo (near Urumia), wero icntenoed to death nfter tho Kurdish rid ing in October, Doctor Shedd did whnt he could to mediate In their behalf, It helnK oxtremely doubtful if they wero Impli cated in the affair. This was naturally taken In good part by the Kurds, and It was reported In SuJ Bulak that Doctor Bhedd had offered J20.000 for their release, which pr:bably proved a beneficial exag geration. "Virtually tho entire Chrlatlnn popula tlon of tho Urun,'a plain and neighboring districts wero In flight as wo left. As far as tho cyo could reach In both dlcctlons thero was a constant stream of fugitives, sometimes so dome, that the road was blocked. It was a dreadful eight and ono I never want to see again. Slany old peo plo and children died on tho way." Hunger Is facing the missionaries In Syria, according to reports from tho American missionaries at Beirut.
