D. L. MooDY's LIFE WORK.

1t Is to eliminate in a Theological School
in Chicago.
There will soon be opened in Chicago
theological school that will be unique
among contemporary institutions for
religious training. It is to be called
the Bible Institute and is intended for.
the education and practical training of
evangelists. While in some outward
features it will resemble the theologic-l
oil seminary of the regulation type, as
conducted by all the Protestant demon
nations of the present day, in other.
more essential points it will be anal
ogous to the schools Of the prophets as
they are believed to have existed in
Old Testament time. II will be con-
Quoted under the auspices of the Chi
cago Evangelization Society. D. L.
Moody, the originator and propagation
of the innovation, is also to be its Presi-
dent. Over $250,O0O has been con-
tributed by wealthy friends of Mr.;
Moody living in Chicago to build and
endow the Bible Institute
The inception of the project is not
new. For at least fifteen years Mr..
Moody has had the desire to establish
such q school. "Do the work of an
evangelist has been the working motto
of his life. In his view the evangelist's
work was not less essential or import
ant than that of the settled pastor and
preacher But there were fewer to
understand it and fewer to make it a
success. Nor was there any school for
educating evangelistic workers, al
though there were many seminaries for
the fitting of young men for the regu-
lar ministry. This dam in the Chris
tian lines it became Mr.. Moody's am
bition to fill, but not until recently was
he able to interest the people and open
their purses to toward this scheme.
The important distinction between
this Bible institute and the ordinary
theological seminary is in the course Of
study. Instead of taking Greek OF
Hebrew testament for the textbook,
Mr.. Moody will take the English
Bible. Polemic theology, except SO
much as may be considered essentia'
in combating assaults Of intidels, will
be as far as possible relegated to the
background. The outline of study is
as follows:
"The doctrinal and practical teach
ings of the Bible will be the main sub
jects of study, together with its au-
thenticity and history. Christian
doctrine, sin, redemption, the person
and offices Of the Redeemer, justifca-
ton, faith, etc. English exegesis,
typology, elementary church history,
Christian evidences, and the study OF
separate books of the Bible will form
an important part of the course OF
study. Some treatise on mental sci
ence will have place in the curricu-
lum. The method Of using the Bible in
dealing with inquirers will also receive
attention"
The full course of study will require
two years. A shorter course will be
arranged for one year.

The English Language,

A full mastery of English cannot be
obtained unless a thorough knowledge
of the Latin and Greek that enters
into its composition is acquired.
The language we speak borrows
from other languages to a great degree.
Yet it has two principal sources
AnglO-SaxOn and Latin. Our histories
inform us, "that the Angles and Saxons
were tribes from Northern Germany
who occupied Britain 449 A. D." They
conquered the Celts and drove them
into remote mountain corners.
When the Romans invaded Britain
90 years before Christ the natives spoke
the Celtic language. Ofall the foreign
elements of the English language, the
Latin Is SO extensive and important
as to render all other foreign elements
to become insignificant where COM
pared with it.
The Danish invasion produced little
effect upon the language of the island.
The NOrmans under William the Con-
querOr, gained possession of England
in 1905 A. D., bringing a great influx
of words which we call the French ell
ement, but in reality a form of Latin
adopted by the Normans in the lands
they had lived.
At first the Norman was the fash
ionable tongue and the Saxon the com
mon speech; but gradually the two
languages coalesced. The Saxons call
ed themselves Angles, their country
England, (Angle-land) and their lam
guage English.
The SaxOns fought with the battle
axe. The Normans on horseback and
with a spear, the footmen using t he
bow and arrow. In three centuries
time from the Norman conquest, we
find the two elements Thoroughly mix
ed. At the battle of Crecy under
Edward III and Black Prince, in 1916.
we find the two united. The English
OverpOwering the French with shafts
from their bows and the English
knight armed cap.a-pie, with helmet
on head and lance in hand. This
union of taste had its effect upon the
language proportionally.
From Anglo-Saxon we get such
words as star, water, hill, words relat-
ing to family and farm, names of most
of the parts of the body, weapons and
names of common ahimals.
The English language is estimated
as TO being spoken by about S0,000,0 900
of people. 1t is used in all parts of the
world. All the new words adopted
from other tongues have not altered
the framework of the languaga-it is
still purely Saxon, E.S.

But he talked so nicely to US and did
