A MONSTER REVIVAL.

New York Ministers Propose to Have It Sweep the Whole Country, More than 100 ministers in greater New York, who have been interested in the Moody and Sankey meetings, have decided to use their efforts to bring about the greatest evangelical awakeuing that city has ever known. A call has been issued to all the ministers in the city to open the doors of their ohurohes every night for revival servioes. It is expeoted that there will be more than 500 meetings a night and that the result will be the most ex traordinary of modern tiroes. It is hoped to arouse not only the great me tropOlis, but to have the movement radiate in every direction. It is hoped that it will join with that now in progress in Philadelphia and sweep over the whole country. Every denomination and nearly every prominent pastor in New York and Brooklyn is interested in this movement. Mr. Moody has said that the time is ripe for it The Rev. Dr. Wilbur J. Chapman, who is among the first two or three evangelists in this country, has said so. This feeling is born of the Moody meetings in New York oity. Mr. Moody has said that they have been among the most remarkable in his experience. The Carnegie hall services on Sunday have been especially notable.
