HAD PLENTY OF AUDAclTY.
Flow Mr.. Moody Once Organized . Great
Charity In Ten Minutes.

Charity In Ten Minutes.
On one OCCASION Dwight L. Moody had
convened Il great conference in Liverpool,
writes Professor Drumlnond in McClure's
Magazine. The theme for discussion was a
favorite one, How to Reach the Masses"
One of the speakers, the Rev. Charles Gar
rett, in a powerful speech, expressed his
conviction that the chief want of the
masses In Liverpool was the institution of
cheap houses of refreshment to counteract
the saloons. When he had finished, Mr..
Moody called upon him to speak for ten
minutes more. That ten minutes might
Rlmost be said to have been a crisis in the
social history of Liverpool. MI. Moody
spent it in whispered conversation with
gentlemen on the platform.
No sooner was the speaker done than
Mr.. Moody sprang to his feet and an
nounced that q company had been formed
to carry out the objects Mr.. Garrett had
advocated; that various gentlemen, whom
he named-Mr. Alexander Balfour, Mr..
Samuel Smith, NJ. P, Mr.. Lockhart and
others-had each taken l, 900 shares of SIS
each, and that the subscription list would
he open till the end of the meeting. The
capital was gathered almost before the adj
journment, and a company 1oated under
the name of the British Workmcn COM
pany, limited, which has not only worked
a small revolution in Liverpool, but
what was not contemplated or wished for,
except as an index of healthy business
paid a handsome dividend to the share
holders.
For 20 years this company has gone on
increasing. Its qualifications are in every
quarter of tho city; it has returned 10 per
cent throughout tho whole period, except
for n strike year, when it returned 7,
and, above all, it has been copied by cities
and towns innumcrable all over Great
Britain.
10 Mr.. Garrett, who unconsciously set
tho ball a.rolling, the personal consc-
quences were as curious as they were II
expected. You must take charge of this
thing" said Mr.. Moody to him, ''or at
least you must keep your eye on it,"
THAT cannot be" was the reply. II am
a Wesleyan. My three years in Liverpool
have expired. must pass to another cir
cult" No" said Mr.. Moody, you must
stay here" Mr.. Garrett assured him it
was quite impossible; the Methodist con-
ference made no exceptions. But MI.
Moody would not DO beaten. He got up a
petition to the conference. It was granted
An almost unheard of thing-and Mr..
Garrett remains in his Liverpool church
to this day. This last incident proves at
least n ~thing-that Mr.. Moody's audac-
ity is at least equaled by his influence.

NEW CUTTERS.
Manning aud Gresham BeIns Buiit for
Revenue service


Revenue service.
The United States will soon
possess two new revenue cutters,
authorized by the late Congress,
which will, says a New York ex-
change, eclipse the German gun
boats.
The new vessels will be called the
Manning and the Gresham, in
honor of the late Secretaries of the
State anu Treasury departments.
The contracts under which those
vessels will be built c III for their
completion by July rst, 1895. The
vessels are to be identical in dimen-
sions. The Manning will be a
composite vessel, however, while
the Gresham will be built of steel
throughout. The principal dimen-
sions are: Length 2o5 feet 6 inches,
beam 81 feet, mean draught Il feet
3 inches. and displacement oso
tons; cost $I7s,ooo for each. The
horse power will not be less than
1000 exerted by direct-acting,
vertical, inverted, triple expansion
engines. When the engines are
making 100 revolutions per minute
the 1000 required horse power will
be developed. The resulting speed
is put down as sixteen knots per
hour.
The new cutters are the most
speedy and seaworthy of their
class designed by the United States
Government. They will be far
superior to the Machias and the
Castine, and, Of course, to the six
new German gunboats authorized
by the last Congress. While the
Machias and the Castine are almost
identical with the Manning and
Gresham in dimensions, the former
vessels have only about 1880 horse
power, in comparison with the 2ooo
horsepower in the cutters.
