In art,cination Of the cvangei,c work which MT
Moody intends 10 pursue next week, with the an Oh
friends interested in the same ends lie spoke 'o''"S
npon the qualifications necessary for inc PVV'u'''
of such plans Mr.. Moody said that lie ic' 'o,'nuc"'
that many people who had heard HIM during 'he as'
four weeks lend him their assistance ana 'a
cocd results would be rcapcd in consequence. but
he said there were five qualifications necessary 10 hose
engaged in such a work. Inc his' was l"''i i"''''
NOT only in God but also In ourselves iherc was d
crcat difference between believing that Goa couid use
us for good and believing that lie "otn use s i'
That was the difference between faith and lack Oh
t,,h Many people lad the former feeling; com
paratvely few had the latter.
second qualification was courage. Courage al
wavs followed faith. That man who was cowaroiy'
who feared something at every turn, was not the man
for Gods work. Cowards were of no use Ill SAVING
men. Men were needed who could be depended upon
at critical moments.
third qualification was enthusiasm enthusiasm
meant to be on fire. The people of NewN orK hecueu
more enthusiasm. holy enthusiasm Fcople o"sn' :"

Mr. Moody continued, people objected 10 enthusiasm
in the church. Why There was more excitement
in the saloons of Ncw-York in one night
than there had been during twelve years
An the church. And when little enthusiasm
did show itself in the church, people decncd II ana
called il fanacism. That was wrong. People shou'd
hold on to all the enthusiasm Of ih'lr nathicS' ''u
