Show The Methodist clergy of New York appear to be losing their faith in the Moody and Sankey system of religious effort. At a recent meeting of preachers, a member called Mr. Moody an erratic comet, and said all he had done here was a matter of religious humbug and cheap adver-, tising, that had proven very disastrous to tha Methodiit church in this city. Messrs. Moody and Sankey, he said, had changed everything; old hymns and old sermons were no longer wanted. They had no longer a hold upon the people, but everybody now demanded Moody's exhortations, and sang his hymns, and was not satisfied with anything else. |
