Terry was set to quarrel with him. A
preiext was easily found, and Terry chal-

NEW York, Jan. 20. The great Christian
bodies are like the great political parties.
Their members may understand the princi-
pies of Christianity and possess firm faith
that the e principles are right and necessary,
still t requires occasional campaign work to
arouse people to the requirements of their
faith and their obligation of living up to it.
We present herewith portraits of a few Of
the prominent workers in the Christian cam
paign in this country.
The most sensational preacher Of the day
is undoubtedly the Rev. "Sam JONES'" as he
signs himself, and herein lies his popularity.
He draws larger crowds, holds them longer,
interests them deeper, moves them stronger,
and appeal to benefit them more than any
other man row abroad. Wherever he goes

audiences Hundreds end thousands of the
oldest and hardest sinners have been con
verted by his preaching.
His father was a lawyer, and he was
lawyer until he was 25 years of age His
early manhood was noted for excesses of
whisky drinking, profanity and their kin
dred vices. He was converted at his fathers
deathbed He began at once to preach the
gospel and was received at once into the
North Georgia Conference Methodist Epis-
copal Church South in Atlanta, Ga, in 1872.
No man is more surprised at his success than
himself
On Feb. 5, 1887, was born Dwight l..
Moody, the most successful evangelist living,
probably Mortified, Mass, was the place
of his birth His education was extremely
limited. At IS he went to Boston as an
employe in the business establishment Of his
uncle While there he Legan that enthu-
siastic Christian career that still distin-
guishes him In 1856 he went to Chicago to
engage in the shoe business continuing also
an active Sunday school worker, For six
years lie carried on the North Market Hall
