Moody and Sankey Evangelist Meetings Draw Crowds in London
Exeter Hall and Agricultural Hall hosts fill to capacity as Moody and Sankey preach liberty through faith. Thousands attend morning and afternoon sessions, with women packed into the platform area and ministers present. Moody’s sermon draws on Christ’s mission to free captives, while Sankey leads hymns and responses. An overflow men’s meeting and a St Mary’s Hall gathering underscore strong interest and inquiry after services.
