MANY TRIBUTES OF RESPECT

East Northfeld, Mass, December B.-nhe L. Moody were held at the Congregational church today before a large audience. Men who for years have been connected with AIr. Moody's work took part. Rev. c. J. Schoield, D. D., officlated, assisted by Rev. A. Torrey, of the Moody Bible ln- stitute Chicago. There were services at the late residence of MT. Moody early in the day. only relatives and close friends being present. MT. schofield read the scriptures and MT. Torrey offered prayer.
 When the family had withdrawn, the corps, which had been permitted to remain upon a leather couch, was placed in the casket, which was of simple design, black covered and open at full length. The body was borne to the church an oblong black-covered bier by about forty students from the Northfeld Institute. Before the bier was raised white roses were sprinkled about the .casket. Dr. Scnoield and Mir. Torrey led the procession while following the bier came the following honorary pall- bearers:
 Ira D. Sankey and George Stebbins, of Brooklyn; R. c. Morse and D. W. McWil- liams, of New York: Rev. w. J. Herdman and Rev. George c. Needham, of Philadel- phia.
 The bier was placed in front of the pulpit and the lid of the casket was removed, showing a spray of palm and ivy extending from the feet to the breast. large num- Der of villagers and visitors then began to file past the body. MT. Moodys face had every appearance of one enjoying peaceful sleep The body remained on view in the church until o'clock.
 Choir of Students
 At the public funeral service the music was rendered by the choir of 150 students. An invocation was followed by the scrip ture lesson, read by Rev A. T. Pierson, of Brooklyn.
 The eulogy was delivered by the Rev. c. J. Schofield, who said of the dead evange- list: "We have met dear friends, not to mourn a defeat, but to celebrate triumph He walked with God and he was not, for God took him. There in the great west, in the presence of great audiences of 1000 of his fellowmen, God spoke to him to lay 1t all down and come home He would have planned it so.
 This Is not the place nor am the man to present the study of life and character of Dwight L. Moody. No one will ever question that we are today laying in the kindly bosom of the earth the mortal body of a great man. Whether we measure greatness by character, qualities of intel lect, or by things alone, Dwight L. Moody must be accounted great
 Seriousness and Genuinencss
 "The basis of Mir Moodys character was sincerity, genuineness. He had an invet- crate aversion to all forms of sham. un- reality and pretense. Most of all did he detest religious pretense, cant. Along with this fundamental equality, MT. Moody cherished a great love of righteousness. His first question concerning any proposed action was Is it right but these two qual- ities necessarily at the bottom of all ble characters, were in him suffused and transfgured by Divine grace. Besides all this, Mir Moody was in a wonderful de- gree brave, magnanimous and unselfish. Doubtless this unlettered New England country boy became what he was by the grace of God.
 "The secret of Dwight l.. Moody's power lay: First, in definite experience of Christ's saving grace. He had passed out of death into life, and he knew it. Second ly. Mir Moody believed in the devine au- thority of the Scriptures The book was to him the voice of God, and he made 1t re- sound as such in the conscience of men. Thirdly, he was baptized with the only spirit, and knew that it was to him as defin- ite an experience as his conversion. Fourth ly, he was man of prayer. He believed in a living and unfettered God. But. fifthly. Mir. Moody believed in work, in ceaseless efforts, in wise provision, in the power of organization and of publicity. I like to think of Dwight L. Moody in heaven; like to think of him with his Lord, Elijah, Paul, Augustin, Luther, Wesley and Kinney.
 "Farewen for a little time, great heart; may a double portion of the spirit be vouchsafed to us who remain"
 Discusses Mood Life The Rev. MT. Torrey followed Dr. Seho- field His eulogy was based on MT. Moody's life exemplifying the grace of God. Following MT. Torrey, remarks were made by the Rev. H. G. Weston, of Crozier Theological seminary, Chester, Pa; the Rev. A. T. Pierson, of Brooklyn, N. Y.; Bishop Mallalieu, of Boston, and Rev. J. w. Chapman, of New York.
 The body was then carried to the burial place at Round Top. The chorus sang Jesus Lover of My Soul" and after pray CT and benediction, the body was lowered to its resting place.
