Evangelism's Third Week Be gun Auspiciously at the Rink. GREAT CROWDS AT BOTH MEETINGS. The Third und t.ast Werk of the Moody and Sunhey Services It* gun With Two Impressive Meetings—One Hundred Hen Ask for Prayers After the Liven ing Sermon. Immense audiences were in attendance at the two meetings in the rink yester day. The afternoon meeting was for women and that at rLcht for men The meeting last night was the largest men's meeting of the series. This Bug gested to Mr. Moody the holding of a men's prayer meeting In the Delaware Avenue Baptist Church on every night this week after the preaching at the rink. The meetings were arranged and will be under the direction of Uev, Mr. Pierson, of Baltimore, who will arrive here to day. Last night's meeting was a remarkable one because of t he marked evidence of a wide spread religious revival. Many melt voluntarily asked the prayers of re ligious people. Tlie livening Sermon. Taking as his text tlie parable of tha great supper, part icularly t he portion re lating to the excuses of the three men, who declined to accept invitations to at tend. Ile thought there were minty men present who would give excuses as trivial as these for refusing au invitation to tile feast of the Bridegroom—the feast prepared of God, aud at great expense. He said : "Tito first one of these men had bought a piece of laud aud wanted to go to look at it. Does any think that the man had bought that laud without having walked ail over it? that he had not stepped off its length aud breadth? It was real estate aud had been right there ever since the world was made. There was uo possibility of Its being taken away. My friends, this was a sham excuse. The other man had bought five oxen and he wanted to go try them Can any one believe that tills man had his oxen yoked up so he could drive them that night? He, too, was shamming. Tim third man had married a wife. He was more fooll.-h than the others. Why didn't he take bis wife with him? Young wives like to go to feasts They like to go to show off their husbands—may be to show that they have got a husband. "Men have been making excuses ever since Adam sinned, and they are at it yet. There Is a man right out tbs re now. who, if l were to go to him and ask him to go with me to the after meeting he would say 'Please excuse me.' He would pull out his watch and say that he bad promised bis wife to be liume at h 30. That is the old trick, dodged behind his wife when be was ac enned of sinning All these excuses aro foolish, but 1 challenge any one here to night to give a better one. Men who want to find an excuse for not becoming a Christian begin by growl ing about the Bible. They want a new Bible. I have found these men, but I never found one who had read th- old Bible through. I found one who did not even know which was the first aud last hook of the Bible. Another man says he don't understand the Bible 1 am glad there are passages in the Bible I don't understand Passages that men cannot understand That is the best proof that is is from God The wisest theologians who have given their lives to study of the grand old book acknowledge when through that they have only been able to ekim over the surface of it. Its depths are too great for human measurement. "Another excuse Is It Is a hard thing to be a Christian. The greatest lie that has been brought from hell to the earth is that God is a hard master. Don't you think it is much better to have God with you than to have Him against you? I say it emphatically here to night, my God is not a hard master. ■The way of the trangressor is hard, but the way of the lastgroweth brighter and brighter unto the perfect day.' Never Mind the Hypocrite*. "Another man refuses to be a Chris tian because there are so many hypo crilea. in the church. Yes, there are hypocrites in the church and have been since Judas sold Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. There are a good many out of the church. I throw down this challenge: I will find 100 hypocrites out side the church for every one that can be found in it. Suppose there are hypo crites in the church, l sm not asking you to be a hypocrite. I am asking you to be a Christian. I ask you to follow Christ." At the close of the sermon Mr. Moody asked those present who would accept the invitation to respond to It hy saying •1 will," The answers to this request liegen near the stand, working Christians present auaw*red aud were stopped by the preacher, lie explained that he wanted recruits, and ished to hear from the unconverted men of the'audienee Then the answers began anew. They came from all parts of the house and kept up until it was estimated that nearly 209 persons had answered. Mr Moody asked all those who wished an interest In the ptsyers that was about to be offered for the conversion of inquirers to rise to their feet About 100 persons rose and stood during the p rayer. The attendance at the inquiry was larger at the conclusion of th vice than at any time since the meetings began.

The cold wave dissipated Itself to day into c. snow storm followed by hall and ralu and the elements raged until shop ping and pedeatriauism has Interrupted and eventually stopped, except in cases where shoppers did not object to risking life and limb. In fact it turned oat, abont 9 o'clock, to be the worst day of the season. About an inch of glass-like sleet cov ered the sidewalks, and, where sawdust or ashes were not nsed, it became impos sible to walk even from a front door to The only safe way was to crawl, although some pedestrians man aged to reach the street by groping as though they were in pitch darkness, was indeed amusing to see the persona who had business ont of doors groping about as though ready to spring up again as soon us the sidewalks "jumped up" to hit them which was of frequent occur rence.

By bolding themselves in constant readiness fora fall of this kind the shock was not half so great as it would tie when their feet would suddenly start on an upward journey while they were thinking about curtailing expenses for the ensuing mouth.

One thing remarkable w.s the effect produced by the trolley wheel's contract with the trolley wire. The wire, be tween cars, would become coated with sleet. Then the trolley wheel would roll up. (lashing like lighting and oo rasion ally producing a lasting light, which seemed to have the full candle power of three arc lights. The Hashes made the wire fairly sizzle and the melted sleet ran from the wheel in a small shower, making as though the glare was melting the wire. The Hashes and brilliant lights not only terrified sfirited horses all over the city, but frightened many pedes trians, who recoiled so much about the fatal live wire. Several horses, fright ened by the flashing and sizzling, started to run away on Market street, but were caught hy passers by. Faint Mound« From Car (ioo|a. Patrons of the West Fourth street brunch of the Wilmington City Railway chose walking in preference to riding up the hill between West and Tat nail streets this morning. The feeling among them was that the car coaid not reach the top of the bill on account of the sleet. The curs are covered with sleet and only a faint sound was heard from them.
