REvERED Mr.. MOODY
None Knew Him But to Honor and
-. Love Him

There is not Christian worker in the
land who did not know Dwight L. Moo
dy and who has not profited by his
teaching. The news of his death came
as a shock to Worcester people. though
those who knew him we'll had expected
it for some time Following are some
expressions from some laymen and
clergymen of Worcester who knew Mr..
Moody we'll and speak from their hearts
of the man they honored and loved
Rev. A, q. Conrad, d. D., said of DR..
Moody last evening: Il knew DR. Moo
dy we'll. He was a man of colossal
power, great administrative and organ
izing ability and the man of the cen
fury. The work which he has begun
will live through the ages
Secretary Halsey Hammond of the
Young Mems Christian association has
Known Mr.. Moody for a number of
years, and has been associated with
him in evangelical work in Philadel-
phia. Mr.. Hammond says of Mr. Moody
He was undoubtedly the greatest
evangelist of the century, not only in
strictly evangelical work, but in his or
ganizing powers after the work was
done All his life he has been a strong
friend of the association, and at one
time saved the Philadelphia. association
from ruin.
I'm the large cities he has used the
association to do his work One of
the last things he said to me was that
he was delighted with the advance
made in the purely spiritual work of
the association. He was a man quick
to decide, and full of the courage of his
convictions. For several years past ne
has felt that his life would soon be
ended, and said that he must work hard
to do all possible while he was able
There is no one to take his place in
the religious world, for he was one man
among millions"
Hon. A. s. Roe says: II knew Mr.
Moody, and have heard him speak a
number of times. To me- he was the
eXemplification of everyday, practical
religion, not put on for show or effect
hardly theoretical. but in every way
downright applicable Christianity. He
talked about things everybody under
stood and never of far away things
Every sentence was replete with what
every hearer could understand and APP
ply and. most of all, he has left no
one to fill his place."
G. c.. Miles, assistant secretary of the
Y M. c. A., has attended the Mortified
school for several sessions, and was in
close personal touch with Mr.. Moody in
that part fhis work. The school was
a great part of Mr.. Moodys life, he
says, and the evangelist had a strong in
terest in the work of the young, men re-
ceiving their training.

AN ACTIVE LIFE
Moody's Labors in Behalf of the
Whole World

Mr. Moody was in his sixty-third
year, and it is doubtful if any other
man of his time has so profoundly in
fluenced the English-speaking world
upon the moral side as he has done
during the last forty years. He has
been the greatest of the revivalists dur
ing that time, and has had a success
in winning mems hearts in two con-
tinents equalled probably by no other
man.
When the present evangelist was
seventeen years old, he left Mortified
to seek employment in Boston. where
his uncle was in business as a shoe
merchant Mr.. Holten engaged his
country nephew with some reluctance,
and on two conditions: The lad agreed
to be governed by his advice, and to
attend regularly the Sunday school and
services of the Mt. Vernon Congrega-
tional church His pastor was the elo-
quent and learned DIR. E. N. Kirk, him
self successful evangelist. Mr.. Moo
dy was converted through the personal
efforts of Edward Kimball, his Sunday
school teacher. The seed thus sown
was found after many days when Mr..

the greatest remedy ever prepared, and

A. A. MADISON.
Pe-ru-na attained great popularity
among the officers of the army as well as
the navy during the late war with Spain.
A great many letters were received from
field and hospital corps, indicating that
this popular climatic remedy has become
well nigh indispensable to them. Pc
ru-na is not only National remedy, but
has proven itself National blessing.
Letters from every quarter are received
daily testifying to the virtues of Peru

given up all hope Of cure. Coughs, colds,
influenza, Ia grippe and acute catarrh
yield at once to the action of Pe-ru-na.

and teachings on both continents. The
cause of death was a general breaking
down of his health, due to overwork.
HIS constitution was that of an eX-
ceedlngly strong man, but his untiring
labors had gradually undermined his
vitality until that most delicate of or
gans, the heart, showed signs of weak
ness.
FRUSTRATED AT KANSAS CITY.
During a series of meetings at Kan
sas City last month, he was Frustrated,
and diagnosis made it evident that
Mr.. Moody's condition was serious and
cancelling his engagement, he returned
TO his home in East Mortified, so near
the greatest achievements of his life.
The family physician, DR.. Wood, took
charge of Mr.. Moody, and for some
days bulletins as to the patients con-
dition were issued, all having an en-
couraging tone, seemingly, but uner-
ringly pointing to the fact that the
evangelist's work on earth was about
finished Last week a change for the
worse prepared Immediate friends for
what was to come.
NEARING THE END.
This week, however, the patient i'm
proved steadily, until yesterday, when
he appeared very nervous. This symp-
tom was accompanied by weakness
which much depressed the family, who
were anXiously watching the sufferer
Last evening Mr.. Moody appeared to
realize that he could not recover, and
so he informed his family. During the
night the patient had spells of extreme
weakness, and at 2 o'clock this morn
ing Dr. Wood was called at the request
of Mr.. Moody, in. order that his symp-
toms might be. noted. A hypodermic
injection of strychnia caused the heart
to become stronger. Then Mr.. Moody
requested his son-in-law, Mr.. Fit, and
DR.. Wood, to retire. Mr.. Moody's eld-
est son, Will r. Moody, who had been
sleeping the first of the night. spent
the last half with his father.
At 730 o'clock this morning, DIR.
Wood was called, and when he reached
Mr. MoOdy's room, he found his patient
in a semi-conscious condition. Then ii

bedside, where they remained until

NO FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS
The arrangements for the funeral
have not yet been fully completed, but
the services will be held Monday after
noon at 3 o'clock, in the Congregational
church. The burial will be on Round
Top. This is a spot on the seminary
grounds near Mr.. Moodys home. which
has become famous for it's summer
meetings, and on which hundreds of
student gatherings have been held
many of them conducted by Mr.. Moody
himself
On this account, it seemed to the
family fitting that the burial should be
at that spo:. The Mortified, the
summer hotel connected with the
Moody schools, will be opened for the
accommodation of friends coming to
attend the funeral services, the hour
of holding the latter being governed
by the time of the arrival and depart
ure of trains.

closed for the Christmas vacation. Tel
