of the religious press, stating that Mr.
Moody's recent refusal to preach in the
Unitarian church in Mortified, Mass.
was caused by the fact that when he
preached there several years ago the

made the shocking remark that
"Christ's blood had no more to do

cepts no male candidate for member
ship unless he will give such pledge.
What a wonderful change such a
church might effect in the moral con,
dition of even the best of American
towns.
