Tilll PROCEEDINGS OF YESTERDAY,

THIRD DAY.

At half-past eight yesterday morning the usual Convention prayer meeting was held in the lecture room of the Con gregational Church, and was fully attended. The exercises were peculiarly interesting, and: definite allusion was made to the cases of the young people who had arisen for prayer at the meeting on Wednesday evening. Rev. John C, Thrush presided at the meeting.

At 9i o'clock the Convention met at the usual place, President Coffin in the Chair, and opened by singing the hymn "All people who on earth do dwell."

The President remarked that we need increase of spiritual life in ourselves.We need'more prayer and self devotion,and while we are here we should be engaged prayer constantly that our hearts may be strengthened and our spirits refreshed. Let us be under the influence of that spirit which comes .from God alone. He wished to call attention to the promise of the Savior that if we ask according to His will He will grant our request, and we can ask for greater knowledge of Him, more perfect communion of spirit, can alone enable us to do his will.

The President then led the Convention in a fervent and impressive prayer. "Stand up for Jesus" was then sun, (The Rev. E. P. Ingersoll having taken charge of the singing, it is more effectual and congregational.)

On motion of Col. Ray, of Indianapolis, the remarks of President Coffin on yesterday upon the subject of the "relations of business men to Christ" were requested for publication in the proceedings of today.

On motion of Rev. Mr. Bowers, of Vincennes,'it was resolved that an .Executive Committee of seven be appointed by the President, to make arrangements to call the next Convention in the year 1870.

The Rev. B. F. Morey offered the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted:

Resolved, That business men have a special work to do for Christ in conducting their business on Christian principles conseorating their means to the Savior, and in direct personal effort in saving the lost, in the Sunday school, prayer meetings, personal conversation, and in going out in the streets and country districts with the Gospel invitations.

Resolved, The Christian activities of the entire membership of a church can be best, developed by organizing the church for work—giving something to every one to do at their entrance in their the church and by looking to the guidance of thej Holy Spirit, go.forth into the work. '.V,4»»'-V

The discussion of the'topic for the'hour "How far are union efforts among Evangelical Christians practical and desira«ble" was opened by Rev. H. C. Dickerson. of Thorntown. He said that by Evangelical CluV^i ians -wo mean those who are the children of Uod. Co-opera-f"is therefore practical and desirable as rui as the Great Head of the Church directs.

How far? "That they may all be one." The unity of the Trinity is organic. This is the foundation of the principle, "unity of effort." Each person of the Godhead has or does His own work: First, controlled by one spirit Second, faithful in their work Third, accomplishing one purpose. See what God has done with the old and new School Presbyterian Churches. Ten years ago the Union was considered impossible, but now, thank God! the thing is an accomplished fact.

Col. Ray made alive and characteristic little speech about the unity of effort among all who love the Saviour—no denominational difference are to be allowed in the Christian work. Only Christ and Him Crucified arc to be known. He hailed all those who work for Christ as Brethren. Rev. Mr. Chapman endorsed the idea of 'unity of effort," and, as a Presbyterian, would receive into full fel-low-ship any, and all, who worked for the Master, no matter what denomination or sect they belonged to.

Mr. Moody thought that all the divisions «and difficulties in the church are the works of the Devil. Let there be no jealousy in denominations. If, in a small town, there is a church sufficient for the population, don't build another church there, of another sect, if there be any dan: ger of bickerings and divisions. Rev. Thrush said the true unity of the church, of Christ, consists in the in-dwelling of Christ In each member of the church. jrs^in As there Is no discord in the human body,

s0an

All^YLse God, so

there should be none in thf body of the church—all who meet upon the great plan of salvation, "Justification by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ." are Brethren indeed. "Blest be tho tie that our hearts in Christian love" was then sung.

President Holmes of Moram College *aid this was the happiest dav of his life, to see all who 1 erred Jesus uniting to fortbw th» of His Gospel. He

thanked God ipr.thisjqaoriuitg ^and he could join hands with his firethern in

ment and can see only "as with a

these differences must vanish. Rev. Dr. Andrus o^ Evansyi^le Jgave a very interesting incident of his ministerial experience in Christian upity., "Rev. W. if. Allen'of RocKville^gave incidents of Heathen converts in unison with Christians. He did not know, hearing the delegates {present talk, wlis^t denomi-, natioh they belonged 10, except thttt the^ belonged to the great Church of Cbrtst. He related some very pleasing Tfeminiscences'by an'experiment in cbminon gathering of Christians, losing their denominational differences.i. i',i

Mr. Morhouse, of England, exempTied the doctrine of unity from the teachings -of the Savior and the records of the apostles.

Mr. Eneign, Of St. Louis, laid out the plans .practically for such Christian union work. All churches should join and lay their town3outand districts and each work their own districts,, assigned. Countv Cqjpuentions are excellent adjuncts in this work and great good has resulted from lucb' ahitqd effQrt^t There shotild be no denominational differences.

Mr. Taggart, of Brazil,wantedt See all denominational lines obliterated, but he did not think that ministers should be compelled to forget in their pulpits that they liatl church doctririfes and tenets— Bftsiness and Church should each have their peoulicitf aims and claims and they should not be lost sight of.

The Rev. Mr. Morey Offered the following resolution upon the above discussion which.*#is unanimoudx radopted:

Resolved, That Union among Evangelical churches is desirable as far as Christ desires Jthfl expressed His desire in His prayer Jto His ather and is practical or, far as He, by His spirit and Providence, makes it so.

A few moments \yere~speht" in" silent prayer and Mr. Moody led in open pi aycr touching the all important subject which had^beenunder discussion/ -Q

Afticr a fecess of'five minutes^ "How sweet the name of Jesus sounds" was sung.

The, topic "How may a general revival of religion throughout the State and Country be secured" was opened by Rev. R. Andrus P- D., of Evansville. There is no excellence" without labor in secular business, and in Church work is essentiaL "The children of the world are wiser than the children of light—then let us take a lesson from the world in carrying on oup efforts for a revival of religion. In a polititical Canvass each party seeks td Advance their peculiar tenets and advantage, and strive to keep the prominent points of their faith before the people They concentrate the thoughts of their leaders upon the people and persevere with all their forces to impress them, either t'o obtain success or suffer defeat. The spirit of the leadership is infused into the rank and file. So let us as Christians take our lessons. Let us look into our own hearts and find out have we any feeling for the salvation of the masses going down to death—our teaching must be Christ, first, last and always—let Him be our theme. The missionary Brainard standing before the Indians, told the story of the Cross, the betrayal, the trial, the crucifixion,observed an Indian woman rise to her feet, weeping, and soon as he was through she asked him to tell her the story over again. It was just what she wanted. Oh my Brethern there is power in the Cross of Christ. It can never be stale or profitless. It always has the sweet saving power.

Rev. Mr. Chapman, of Richmond, said that in his own town, out of a population of 16,000 souls there had been 800 conversions since March. It had been done as a Christian effort not denominational The revival commenced in the Methodist Church, and the speaker, although Presbyterian, had labored with the Meth dist pastor and for forty-four days and nights, they had labored before there was any visible signs of awakening. They had organized themselves into a working bands, and they went after sinners to their homes, and shops, brought them to the church. On the forty-fifth night one sinner came foawad to the anxious bench and then commenced outpouring of God'i Spirit, and the blessed influence of that revival have not yet ceased. Prayer moves the arm that moves the world, and persistent prayer will be efficacious. The Rev. Speaker related several most interesting personal incidents in connection with the great work of the Richmond re

vival. President Coffin, at the request of the Convention, continued the recital of the progress of the wonderful revival in Richmond. It was like "the wind that bloweth like it listeth." The^Christians had worked for days, weeks, "hionths and years, constantly through the community. The Young Men's Christian Asso ciation had formed neighborhood prayer meetings, and cottage meetings, and the different churches had wrestled with God. The ladies of the city commenced a systematic visit to the saloons, and they were received withsopen hands.. They prayed with the inmatfes and visitors and ceased not their labors until the sinners began to flock to the Savior: and when the Holy Spirit came, it was like the Pentecostal Season. Denominational lines were entirely obliterated: Sinnera were invited to come to Christ, and no exertion was made to proselyte converts to further the interest of any sect. We made inroads into the fashionable society and the enentire circle of social pleasure, and from every department of social life came converts flocking into the Army of the Lord.

The speaker closed his truly interesting remarks by personal experiences among the unconverted in his city, and gave his own views in regard to this great -i •".% "f 'T\ "5T work.

Col. Ray said we had heard from the speakers how the adults are reached, and proceeded to explain the means of work that the Indiauapolis Sabbath School teaohers had adopted among the children —and the result of their labors was that 34 children found the Savior upon the first meeting, and the final result was, that 160 of the children became converted and joined the Church. Do not let our revival spirit be confined to the church let it go into the Sabbath School, and bring in the lambs.

Rev. Mr. Ingersoll thought that it was not because the nail was not driven it was not clinched and the spirit will come from active earnest effort. Personal effort and influence must be used, and the matter of salvation must be personally brought home to every mind.

Rev. Mr. Greenough, of Logansport, endorsed the sentiment of Mr. Ingersoll.— He would preach as well as he could, and then he would go and bring home the thoughts of salvation to every sinner in his acquaintance. Personal appeal and efforts, accompanied by earnest, continued prayer, will be efficacious.

Rev. B. F. Murry offered the following resolution upon the above topic aqd discussion, which was unanimously adopted:

Resolved, That a general revival of religion can be secured by a re-coijseoration of ourselves to Christ,' in persevering in pr#y«r JWlowng ap^pmpit

.The topic for discussion "How can our week day prayer meetings be made more interestingSawwopened' by Bidet. A. S. Evans of Fort Wayne. He said the tone and conduct of the prayer meeting is a feure rndex of the status of religion in^the Church.* "The'.'question afforded by. the topic is one Of vast importance, and the

The Prpidwif of the Convention who is a Friend, said he was indeed rejoiced to welcome his good' Presbyterian brethren in their endeavors to recognize the rights of women. The Church that he Ifftpresents hftre had always recognized. that right, ahd he thanked God that such a move had been made towards.the inil leneit m.

Rev. Mettis:

Tiirush

of South Bend

Sanders, of Indianapolis, Fox worthy. and Howe of this city took farther part in this discussion.

Mr. Moody, of Chicago, in speaking on this subject gave some excellent advice in regards to conducting prayer meetings Let it be cheerful and full of praise. Each person should say something or do some thing to show his interest in the meeting, They should not get. up and to tell how cold dnd ^lukewarm they are, for every body can see that, but let them tell what God has done for them and don't let all wear long faces, as if religion wei adrag upon social feelings but let all' feel as if the prayer room was the place for joy and cheerfulness, and the exercises there the source of thankfulness and blessed experiences.

S. H. Potter, of this, city followed in, thesame strain. The following Committee was now announced by "the President as authorized to call the Convention of next year and make the proper arrangements.*

A. B. Morey, Franklin. Samuel Newell, D. D., Paais, Ills, CONGREGATIONAL—LAYMEN. L. E. Fianner, Indianapolis. Jol a C. Ross, Terre Haute.r. T' t? A few moments of silent prayer were given, and "Jesus of Nazareth pass^l^y was sung.

The topic, "wh^t are great hinderances to the progress of Christ's Kingdom in our midst, and how they may be removed" was opened by Rev. Mr. Robinson of Yin Cennes, and participated in by Rev. MrMorrison of Terre Haute, and Elders Hadley and Tomlinson of!Annapolis, Col. Ray of Indianapolis, Mr. Moody, Col. Cavers of Bloomfield, Capt. Potter of Terre Haute, but want of space to-day deprives us of the pleasure of laying before our readers a synopsis of these remarks,

After considerable discussion in regard to the publication of the proceedings of the convention in which Col. Ray, Mr. Ensign and the Rev. Messrs. Morrison, Allen, Vance and others, participated it was ordered that the Secretary be instructed to take the minutes as published in the EXPRESS of this city, and have them published in any religious papers that may in his opinion be most expedient.

The "Question Drawer" was now opened and by unanimous request Mr. Moody took the stand and answered briefly but pointedly, the questions some of which were the following: "How to get christian members at work."

Should ladies take part in the prayer meeting?" "What can ladies do for Christ?" "How much feeling .miwt there before conversion?" "How to get people to go to church?" "How to get along prayer shortened?"

Mr. Moody answered these several questions with the utmost freedom and self-possesson and gave universal satisfaction. It was a rare treat to hear him.'

After the singing of the doxology, and the benediction,the Convention adjourned until seven the in eveningrfM'n

EVENING SESSION.'"

At half-past seven o'clock the Convention again assembled, and notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, the large church was well filled. President Coffin presided as usual. The singing was under charge of Prof. Paige. Opened by singing "Stand up, stand up for Jesus" and prayer by Rev. Mr. Greenough, of Logansport. "My faith looks up to thee" was then sung. The following resolution having been reported back by the Committee on Business was unanimously

That in view of the fact that

while this Christian Convention is in session, there also convenes at'Rome a great Council of the Romish Church, for the purpose of extending and consolidating then- power throughout,the world,.we do now unite in prayer to the Holy Spirit, to overrule their counsels and so order their deliberations, .that the Lord Jesus Christ, the only king in Zion, and head of the church may be exalted above man.

The President then declared the Conventipn open for short, concise, and appropriate 5 minute speeches. The Rev. Dr. Rice, of Lafayette, was the first speaker. Aftpr a few preliminary remarks he spoke upoq the importance of cultivating and exercising a christian affection. It was just such fratern^J love which engenders the pure love which imated the Seviort fore for a*, "Labowm' of Qbrlst, wl«" wm tbes ia&f.

A few momentoji^h,||^^p prayer,*nd Rev. Mr. Howe led-in JL vo-

God does not use the instruments that men wouhf dkobse. Whdb He man to preach to the masses in England, did He go to Cambridge t»r Oxford to select some learned student? No! He went to the mouth' of a coal pit, and there tilled out to a man, nine hundred fe$t down under the ground, "Richard, «ome uphece I Jiave work for you." Ug caiae •Jtichard Weaver, the poor, drunken, despised outcast, and no one man in the world preaches to so many people.

Col. Ray, of Indiinapolis, followed Mr. Hitoody, and exhorted the audience to &ee<y|!j&£i>^t:# tItf:Basi^ tee, who wished to raise the requisite 'funds pay the expense of the Convention. A collection was then taken up for that purpose. "All hail the power of Jesus' Name" was sung. .Mr. Mootehejase'jfof• England, W&3 Apii injvited to speal^. He chose for hi^ te^tj the words from Isaiah: "Let the inhabit ants of the rock sing."

During th^e remarks.the most intense solemnity p^^aded- the ehtireTassembly,1 and the scenes portrayed by Mr. M. were fearfully impressive.

After singing "Did Ghrist o'er sinners weep?" Mr. Howe announced that Mr. Moody would conduct a general union prayer meeting this morntug at ten ifclock in the lecture room of the Congregational Church, and Mr. Morehouse at three o'clock will conduct a Bible class. All are cordially sid'itfrlie^ti^ihvited.

The President, Mr. Coffin, then In an affecting and impressive manner expressed the thanks of the Convention to the citizens for their hospitality, nnd bid- an^ affectionate farewell to the members off thfe C^nventioii, bid(£n^ them goto their homes with renewed hearts and increased interest. He then led the assembly iti solemn prayer.

Rev. Mr. Vance, of Vincennes, offered the following fe8olution„w,tyiqh w^s ujianimously adopted*

Resolved, Tha.t the nan K? of TKe Con^ ventien be returned to the members of the, Press who have attended upon our deliberatidns, the Railrqad Companies whicK have granted favor^, to the people of thir city for their generous hospitality, and to the Trustees of the Congregational Church for the free use of the same.

The, Convention then closed sine die, with the doxology and benediction by Rev. E. F. Howe.

Col. Ray then led in singing, "Say, Brothers, will you meet us?"

Cheap Pianos.—Any person wanting to buy a good Piano, almost new, is requested to go to the sale to-day at three o'clock at the house of John Burget, corner of 9th and Main streets, where one will he sold to the highest bicker.
