There was barely time for Mr Moody and his helpers to get some refreshment on their return to Coleraine by road before he was due for another open-air gathering on an open space by the side of the river Bann, known as Fair Hill. It was interesting to hear that this identical spot was closely associated with the great Irish revival of 1859 (http://website.ukwells.org/wells/fair-hill-market-coleraine), which took its rise in this northern region. After a telling Gospel address, a good proportion of the audience proceeded to one of the churches, where a deeply interesting after-meeting was held.
In the evening the largest church in the town was crowded, and the congregation were rewarded with an address of singularly pathetic and soul-moving presentation of the Divine love as it is shadowed forth in the parable of the prodigal son. In the elaboration of such a theme Mr Moody seems to be peculiarly at home. When he had ended his exhortation he split the company into three - the backsliders and doubters and the anxious were directed to the other church; under the leading of Dr Williamson; and a little band of young men was drafted into the adjoining lecture hall, where they were spoken to by Rev Henry Montgomery. The after-meeting in the other church was large and full of hopeful augury. Dr Wilson of Cookstown, a venerable minister who has just retired from the active pastorate, first of all gave a short address - simple, direct, and in every respect suitable. Then Mr Moody pressed home the folly and the guilt of spurning the love of God in the rejection of his Son. The impression made was great, and the somewhat sleepy but thriving town of Coleraine, with its 6,000 and odd souls, had a waking up that will be doubtless remembered for many a day to come.
