THE LOTHIAN CAMPAIGN.
In legal parlance, the "venue" of Messrs Moody and Sankey's work was last week moved from west to east of central Scotland. Glasgow and its populous environs were exchanged for the principal centres lying within easy distance of Edinburgh.
The week began with a busy day at Bathgate; at the evening service, for men only, the indications of spiritual concern were unusually plentiful, and the evangelists were greatly cheered.
Monday evening found them facing a great crowd in the People’s Hall, West Calder. It is in this building that Mr Gladstone addresses his Midlothian constituents of that district. It may be doubted if even the eloquence of the right honourable gentleman would have kept the closely-packed audience in their seats so long as they did in order to hear Mr Moody and his ‘confrere’. The people began to flock into the hall at half-past five. The meeting began at seven and was not over at ten; so that many had remained there for an evangelistic service for four and a half hours. Yet some would have us believe that the Gospel has lost its power to attract in this enlightened and much-belauded generation. Mr Moody rewarded the congregation with three addresses in the course of the evening, despite the fact that he was suffering from hoarseness. He certainly "earned a night's repose" that day.
Dalkeith, a market town about seven miles from Edinburgh, was the scene of Tuesday's labours. Two mass meetings were held in the spacious United Presbyterian Church, with an evening overflow in the Free Church. To all human appearance a deep impression was created, and there was a fair amount of reaping done at both the evening meetings.

Now housing on the site.
I have not created separate sites for the other towns mentioned because there is not enough information to judge if Holy Spirit was pouring out. I assume He was.
