Full Text

The newspapers of New York show as much zeal in publishing full particulars of everything connected with the great revival meeting which is being conducted in Brooklyn by Messrs. Moody and Sankey as they did in publishing the reports of the Tilton-Beecher trial. Many of them have reported Mr. Moody's sermons in full since the commencement of the meetings, and he is becoming dissatisfied with their enterprise and says that he cannot continually preach original discourses and objects to their being published. It may be a disadvantage to Mr. Moody to have his sermons appear in print every day, but he should not do anything to destroy the interest the newspapers have taken in the reformation of Brooklyn and New York. Mr. Moody has undoubtedly attacked the devil in his stronghold, and if the good work continues in time even newspaper men may be reached.
