Moody and the Bible,

The famous Evangelist Moody, who
has been stirring up the sinners of Chi
cago, the wickedest of the modern
"cities of the plain" is a remarkable
man. says the Mexican Herald. His
power consists in his tremendous appeal
to the moral instinct in man, to the
conscience which is mans monitor and
his certain pilot in life's voyage, if on
ly needed. And Moody breaches the
pure gospel with it's noble promises, its
sweet consultations, and its warning
against the consequences of sin. He
does not, like the fashionable preach
ers talk on Cuba, Armenia, Bryan, the
gold standard, and the latest topic of
the day. He breaches the old, whole
some doctrine that, as man makes
himself. so will he shape his future lot.
trine in these days of sophistry, of ag
nobicism, Ind moral decadence. Napo-
leon at ST. Helena, hearing from
tiatterer that his name would echo down
the centuries, remarked that, when his
name and that of Alexander and
Caesar should serve merely to attract
the attention of the school bow busy
with his history lessons, Christ would
be a mighty power among all men, the
greatest force on earth! 1t is with
this sincere conviction that Moody
breaches. He knows the depths pro-
found, and the shadows, too, of the
human heart, and his religion has no
sectarianism and no bigotry. He finds
the Catholics his brethren and COM
mendS their work, and, among all the
sects of Christeadom he encounters
helpers and comrades. Moody is an
instance of what genuine belief enables
a man to do, and shows low respect is
accorded by men of the world to a true
Christian. Plain sinners detest
milk-andwaterC Christian who is sneak
ingly ashamed of his religion. AS
Moody says, let men be always whole
hearted whatsoever they do.

A TYPICAL JESUIT MISSIONARY.

II Is to Bede that Father Bard. one Of the first

for arguments In his narrative OF 1916. He
doubtless felt the similarity there was between
his savages and those among whom Bede arose
like light in the darkness. To the eyes Of the
French public he addressed first such arguments
in favor OF developing New France as occurred
to him on the score of temporal prosperity Then
he turned to the other aspect Of the case. the

tone of the market was strong and deal
inSs fairly active, 1884 shares being

cipaliy for the account OF the shorts, rying

lief that q higher range of prices will

A sharp lookout 5 being kept by vessels
OF the Navy and revenue cutter service
for the filibuster Bermuda, and the ap-
pea rance OF the battleship Indiana off
st. Johns bar, Fla, is only another evi-
dence OF the precautionary measures
adopted. Whether the Treasury Depart
ment has any information or not on the
subject has not been asce rtaincd. but it
is certain that the officials there believe
that another fill bust er ing expedition
is in contemplation, If it has not already
been planned.
Instructions have been sent to the
collector OF customs at Jacksonville with
reference to the renewed application Of
the detained steamer Dauntless for per
mission 30 go TO Fernandina on a wrecking
trip, that the department stands on the
grounds previously stated, in effect that
unless the owners OF the DauntIess make
the required legal affidavit that the vessel
does not intend TO engage in a violation
of the neutrality or navigation laws, the
vessel must remain in the custody of
the collector.
This affidavit the owners Of the DaLnt-
less refused to make, though agreeing to
proceed from Jacksonville in custody
Of an officer Of the United States. A
combination of the Bermuda and Daunt-
less is what the Treasury and Navy Off
Gals are seeking TO prevent. All the
available vessels of the revenue cutter
service are now engaged in filibustering
