The plan is again brought onward OF
/ building in New York a great institute
Moody is known to favor such a plan, to
be a centre for evangelical efforts
throughout the whole country. An err
roneous impression has been given con-
corning the Brooklyn undertaking, that
being in reality nothing more than a suit
able place for Moody's similar meetings.
Brooklyn is, like many cities in this coun-
try, without such an auditorium. it being
one of Mr.. Moody's complaints that he
can find in few cities places large enough
to accommodate his congregations. Those
who actively assist Mr.. Moody in the
management of his projects are opposed
to a headquarters being erected in Brook
lyn with the idea that it may become the
national centre. They say that such
centre can be located only IN
The aim would be, were such centre
founded, to bring famous preachers from
abroad, to provide for Bible instruction
on a large scale. to get together choruses
Of great size, and to make an evangelical
headquarters, the influence of which
! would be felt throughout the whole coun-
try. Hammerstein's Olympia was con-
sidered when it was put up for sale not
long ago. but it's purchase was opposed
by Mr.. Moody. 1t is said that the money
to build such metropolitan church is
available, but that it's support afterward,
and especially at Mr.. Moody's death. has
not yet been solved. The Mortified en-
terprise brings in about $40, 600 a season,
and costs S160. coo. the other $120,O0 being
raised by Mr.. Moody's personal efforts.
The evangelist was asked the other day
what he expected Mortified to do after
his death. and he replied hat he believed
the Lord would provide. Nevertheless
said he. Il an trying to get it on the
firmest possible foundation now"
