A Ittle town on the eastern shore of the Black Isle, and ten miles from Cromarty, was favoured with a visit from Mr Moody on Saturday. On account of a slight indisposition, and as the weather was very wintry and rough, Mr Sankey slipped the Cromarty and Fortrose meetings, and on Friday went on to Nairn to rest there till Sabbath. Mr Moody was driven to Fortrose on Saturday forenoon, and spoke to a very large gathering in the Free Church. People had come from the adjoining villages of Avoch and Rosemarkie, as well as from Cromarty. Both the Established Church ministers and the Congregational pastor of Avoch were on the platform. This little town was almost virgin soil in the matter of special evangelistic work, and Mr Moody's visit, though of the shortest, will long be a memorable one. At the close of his hour's address, the whole of the congregation stayed for a second meeting. Some considerable time was spent in personal conversation, and the truth seemed to have taken such a hold that Mr Moody ascended the pulpit again, and still further explained to the people the way of life. Perhaps for a single meeting, the circumstances and probable outcome have never been more hopeful in all Mr Moody's career as an evangelist. Following up is to be vigorously sustained, and much fruit is yet expected.
