Part lldge, formeily of this city, and nn ex pected visit of Moody to Cincinnati, the Bnqulier of that city said on Monday: Preparations tare being made fot the coming revival at Music Hall, which will begin on Match 3, nnd Is to be conducted by Moody, the world-t enow ncd evangelist. Rev. AVaiien G. Patiklge, In his morning seimon at the Ninth street Baptist chinch esterda5. devoted his attention to this invlval. lie said. "The Chilstlan people of Cincinnati are undei a gieut responsibility to spend much time In prayer during tho next few weeks. Mr. Dwlght L. Mood, tho gi eat en evangelist of the Nineteenth centuij, will begin evangelistic meetings In our gteat Music Ball on tho 2d of March, one week from Wednesday The Intel venlg time for preparation is ver short This coming of Mr. Moody will probably be his last appearance In this eltj In union revival meetings, for Mr Moody Is now oO ears of age, and his services aie on de mand in every gioat city In the world. Our city cannot well expect anothci op poitunlt of hearing this icmarkible man of God. Tens of thousands of people have been led to Jesus Christ b his powerful sermons. In 'Bngland and Scotland his revival meetings swept the country like colossal tidal waves, nnd upon their crest cairled tens of thousands Into tho Chris tian chinches. A gieat door of spiritual oppoitunltj is standing wide open befoie this cltj. Shall we as churches atlse In our might and reap a magnificent harvest of souls fot the kingdom ot Jesus Christ? "Some people will criticize the evangel ist and the meetings. Others will be In different olid cnlcal. Some chinch mem beis will find fault v Ith the evangelist or his method", but all friends of evan gelical Chrlstlanlt should ailso en masse and by their earnest praeis and active labois make this the most wonderful so lles of evangelistic meetings ever con ducted In the histoiy of this clt. In Mr. Mood j we have a magnificent leader. Let us follow oui lcadei to victoiy. "This city needs a moral and spiritual revolution. AVe need a revival of civic righteousness, of business integiity, of social purity, of spiritual power. A gieat religious awakening is within our giup. Tho financial panic of 1S37 was followed by one of the most wonderful rellgoius le vlvals in the history of America, and It ciossed tho Atlantic nnd stirred Bngland and Scotland to their very foundations. Tho piomiec of God is: "Accoidlng to jour faith it shall be done unto jou. Caiy, the Illustilotis Baptist missionary to India, said: 'Bxpect great things from God, Attempt gieat things for God.' God Is honored b gieat faith. Bven Jesus said that he could do no mighty works In Nazareth because of their unbelief. The success of these tevlvnl meetings In this cltj will depend upon oui united faith, prajers and labois. AVe must all becomo soul-winners. AA'e must take our unsaved friends and nelghbois to these meetings, and we must pray while Mr. Moodv preaches the Gospel of Jesus Chrlt. We must help in the inquiry meetings Heie will be kindled the Hies of salvation, and thoso people will le cclve the gientest blessing who do their utmost to lead slnneis to the cross of Jesus Christ."
