FRIDAY, MAY 81, 1885,

BROTHER MOODY is 10 Plalnfeld. N. j.,
and some of his converts are so wrought
up with religious excitement that they
send anonymous letters to citizens beg
ging them to be saved and threatening
them with everlasting punishment il
they do not make immediate effort To
secure that end. Brother Moody had
better put stop to that. The means OF
the devil are not appropriate to the re-
demption of mankind, and these over
jealous converts may get themselves
into danger at the same time that they
make themselves ridiculous
