DWIGHT |. MOODY, The man.

Mr.. Moody is a man by himself,
unique, interesting, entertaining, mod
est, magnetic Everybody knows Mr..
Moody IN a way, but few have ever ia
ken an inside peep into his family life,
few know him in private life. The rea-
son for this is that there is so little
difference between the two sides of the
man. He is the same Dwight L. Moody
in his comfortable Massachusetts home
that he is before a vast audience in
the Kansas City Convention hall, or in
his room at the hotel.
What have we to be thankful for?''
he said, repeating question put to
him. That is a difficult problem-bet-
ter put it this way: What haven't we
to be thankful for? 1t is easier an
swered in this form"
To Look at the great evangelist one
could not help but admit that, were
he speaking only for himself, his words
were well chosen. He was the picture
OF contentment. His ample form rested
comfortably upon a well cushioned So
ia, one hand at his side, the other upon
his knee. A generous strip of Brussels
carpet was hidden beneath his feet,
almost as broad as they are long, which
body. A gray business suit is Mr..
Moody's usual habit.Attired thus he re-
ceives callers in his room-and they
are maryland thus he appears before
the public.
Deliberation is the keynote of his
character; everything he does is done
in a thoughtful way.
Before he continued he thought few
minutes, and, resuming, said;
There is nothing we should not be
thankful for as a nation. What is there
to be compared with our country Moth
ing. Where is there another nation of
such enormous wealth? Nearly fifty
little empires, and all of them prosper
ous!"
Mr.. Moody paused again, this time to
shift his position. He turned his face
toward the window, from which he
could overlook the housetops. Stray
sunbeams lit up his countenance and
made his white hair more silvery; pa
triotic fire was in his gray eyes when he
again took up the thread of conversa-
ton.
Nearly fifty little empires" he re-
peated, land all of them prosperous.
That is something to be thank
full for. Our success in the Span
ish war was marvellous; the lives lost
were very few. The world is coming
nearer together; there is more of the
spirit of brotherly love than ever be-
FORE
Another pause and then the evangel-
list, for a brief moment, bowed his head
in thought. A short, fat palm, sup
ported this head, which requires rs
hat Its size is equalled only by it's

I thinking capacity. He was bordering
over a question which is now agitat-
| ing the public mind, but after he
| thought it all over he concluded there
| was nothing to fear even from trusts
| and he decided that we should be none
| the less thankful.
These great trusts" he said, (which
everybody seems to fear, they cannot
| take wealth away with them. These
things all regulate themselves in the
course of time and the money will
again be scattered among The people.
I have seen three generations of Van
| derbilts live and pass away, the fam
| lily is ever increasing and the money,
as the years roll by, goes out into other
branches where it is made use Of and
again goes back where it came from.
The same is true of the other great
houses Of wealth. The trust problem
should not, therefore, make us feel any
the less thankful.
Then haven't we TO be thankful for
our government 1t surely is nearer to
the people than that of any other ma.
ton The highest form of government
is that wherein men learn to govern
themselves and sueh is ours. The world
in all it's history has never witnessed
such wonderful progress as that of the
present time. Is not that something
to be thankful for? To live in this age
of progress is not that something to
be thankful for? Electricity has brought
the world closer together and every
nation has something to be thankful
for.
AT the same time l do not believe
that any nation can exist, even under
republican form of government, UNI
less it is based upon righteousness. The
danger of great prosperity lies in the
fact that people are more apt to take up
with the things of time than with those
of eternity. If men would only stop to
think that they have only a few years
to live here on this earth and endless
time-eternity hereafter!
But now you have enough. We
should certainly be thankful for every
thing that I have mentioned"
Yes, but the peace congress?"
"Oh, the peace congress; well, I hard
ly think We ought to say much about
that. The nations held a peace con-
gress and then went right to war"
But what about war, don't you be-
lieve in peace congresses"
Il believe the time is surely coming
when the differences and difficulties of
nations will be settled by arbitration.
1t is an outrageous thing when men kill
one another. But, now you certainly
have enough to write about. No? One
more question? Well, I shall try to an
swer it,
I'm your forty years of work. how
many souls have been converted?"
81 cannot tell you; the record is kept
in heaven-and that is something to be
thankful for"

tivity south of Manila, particularly in
Cayite province. At linus yesterday

LUNDE-HoWLAND RECITAL.
A Cold Audience Listens to a Recital
of Choice Song in Memorial Hall.


of Choice Song in Memorial Hall.
Miss Aagot Lunde of Boston, contral-
to, ana w. A Rowland of Worcester,
with Miss Jessie Davis of Boston, &C
compauist, gave a song recital in Me
mortal hall last night. An audience
which was as chilly as it was fashion
able, attended, and permitted itself to
be moved once or twice to a mild form
of enthusiasm by ele really excellent
work of the performers. The pleasure
of the evening was greatly enhanced
by the programs, which contained the
complete words of the songs.
Mr. Rowland was in good voice. He
was heard to especial advantage in the
more tempeStuous and passionate of his
numbers, and was less convincing in
the sentimental passages, but to say
this is to repeat what all admirers of
his fine voice admit. One of the events
of the evening was his rendering of
1.-The Erl-King" 1t cannot be said
however, that Schubert's die All
macht," as Mr.. Rowland gave it, was
an improvement over Ffrangcon Davies
rendering of it at the recent music fes-
tival.
Miss Lunde was at her best in the
group Of songs, which she read with
real sweetness and charm. The Nor
wegian folk songs were delightfully."-
fresh and stirring, and Miss Lunde
made decided hit with them.
Not less successful than the pieces in
which each singer was heard alone were
the two duets which concluded the con-
cert.
The work of Miss Davis at the piano
was in every sense satisfactory.
The program, which will be repeated
by Miss Lunde and Mr.. Heinrich in
Steinert hall, Boston, on Wednesday
evening, was as follows:

 Cure Consumption
 and all Lung
 Troubles.

Nothing could be fairer, more philan- thropic, or carry more joy to the afflicted, than the offer of T. A. Slocum, NJ, C., of 1S3 Pearl street, New York City.
 Confident that he has discovered an ab. solute cure for consumption and all pull monary complaints, and to make it's great merits known. he will send, free. three bottles of medicine to any reader of TIE FORREST CITY TIMES who is suffering from chest. bronchial, throat and lung troubles or consumption.
 Already this new scientific course of medicine " has permanently cured thou- sands of apparently hopeless cases.
 The Doctor considers 1t his religious duty-a duty which he owes to humanity to donate his intallible cure.
 Offered freely, is enough to commend it, and more SD is the perfect confidence of the great chemist making the proposition.
 He has proved the dreaded consumption to be eurabe disease beyond any doubt.
 There will be no mistake in sending- the mistake will be in overlooking the generous invitation. He has on file in his American and European laboratories testimonials of experience from those cured, in all parts of the world.
 Don't delay until it is too late. Address T. A. Siocum. NJ. c. 9S Pine street. New York, and when writing the Doctor, please give express and postoffice address, and mention reading this article in TIE TIMES.
