London, Dec. 23. The only news
from South Africa of the slightest i'm
portance up to three p. m. is the report
of Ladysmith's ability to hold out for
some time to come, and the message
from Gen. Methuen published Thursday
evening, though undated, permits the
assumption that his communications
have not been cut.
Gen. Methuen's complaint about the
rudeness of his opponent is the latest
surprise of this surprising war, and,
judging from the tone of some of the
comments, Gen. Methuen's peevishness
is more distasteful to many people in
Great Britain than his continued 81
lence would have been.

Monuments to His Fame.

In Mr. Moodys native town stands the
greatest monument that he could have
wished for his enduring fame-the North
field seminary and the school for young
men at Mount Hermon, four miles distant
the most noted religious institutions of the
world. These We're built up by degrees
through Mr. Moody's indomitable energy
and ceaseless efforts. Money that might
have been added to the great preachers
private fortune-all too slim-was devoted
to the Mortified institutions. AT North
field it has been the custom for years to
celebrate the anniversaries of the bene-
factors birth with holiday marked by the
closing of all business places and the hold
ing of religious services in the places OF
worship. In all probability this day-De-

aspect of a day set aside by the towns
people to meet for expression of profound

His Work in Europe.

1t was said that when the mighty
Moody" stirred the conscience and heart
of the new world his promise to do like
wise in the old world would be fruitful.
But his several trips to Europe caused
such reawakenings of spiritual life that
the occasions will be treated by historians
as parallels of the crusades. Moody's pill
grimages We're unaccompanied by the
pageantry of militant knights, but the lances
of sound Yankee sense that he hurled

a m1Iilon miles. Ten million people have
heard him talk. His literary productions
characteristic arguments for the better
ment of man--have been printed in almost
as many languages as the Bible. And this
great soul, praised even by agnostics and
worldly-minded men of no religious train
ing or belief, was of such a disposition
in his early life that his spiritual teachers
said of him: HE is unlikely to become
a Christian of clear and decided views of
Gospel truth: still less to fill any extended
sphere of public usefulness. Parallel lines
could never be farther from meeting than is
this criticism from the truth.
Call to Great Work.
Realizing that he might be of spiritual
use to his brother man, Mr.. Moody over
came the awkwardness and bashfulness of
his youthful days, and, taking for his slogan
"God is love-" he formed the nucleus of
the greatest and most impressive religious
movement of the ages when he induced
"ragmufiins'' to attend Sunday school. Ris-
Ing from halting, embarrassed speaker,
he became the giant in the spiritual world,
who, by his eloquence, tempered with the
most wonderful earnestness ever exhibit
ed by an evangelist, swayed vast au-
diences at his will. Had he not elected to
exert that power upon great throngs in
the church and mission editices he might
have had equal success on the field of war,
leading great bodies of men into carnage
of battle
