GREAT MEETINGS IN.GLASGOW. Tlw "British Weekly" lifts received the following estimates ef the jnissiojj carried on by p.r. Chapman and Mr. Aksandfi? in Glasgow, The Rev. George Itcith, D.D., Mod-erator-elect af the United Free Church, states:—"lf I were io say all that I feel about the. mission of J).r. Ghamnan and Mr. Alexander it might seem csa.gge.ra.tkm._ ■ But it takes ranks at lea-st with the two great spiritual movements which it'has tfeen 'my privilege, to witness, namely.'that of 1859, aiitl that of 1874. . . . The thousands who night after night crowded St. Andrew's Hall during the_ first mission, and ivho are riow crowding the much larger straees of .the' Zoo; the rapt attention while Dr. Chapman Sets forth Christ in plain, direct, searching and powerful Gospel preaching such as I have rarely heard; the after results in the inquiry Mrarh speak for theifrselrcs. Perhaps the. phenomenal attendance of business men at tire noonday meetings may bo taken by sdpc as one tof the. surest pro'ofs that this great coraitiorcial centra has !)t7eii stirred to its foundations. -%. . . Tho Lord's work has got a great uplift all round.' •
