A GREAT REIIGIcuIsr GONE.

The man who laid down his life work
at East Mortified, Massachusetts, on
Friday, is one of the really great figures
OF his time. There have been greater
preachers, doubtless men who have
left deeper impressions on the church
life OF their time; men who have con-
tributed more to the broadening of re-
hgious ideas and to the advancement of
the church as an intel lectual power
But there have been few, if any, whose
religious teaching has been SO wide
spread, so vital and so permanent in it's
effects as that of Dwight L. Moody. He
was man of the people, self-educated
and lacking to some extent. the finer
graces that lend a wonderful end fitting
charm to the preaching of many of
our most profound and solid theolo-
Hians. He has been credited with won
derful personal magnetism. His was
the convincing, tremendous force of alb
solute personal sincerity. 1t was the
wonderful power of the man for whom
religion had transformed life utterly and
IN whom it found living exponent
Here was man from whose teaching
there could be no nnwholesome reyul-
sion. His was sane, sensible faith, ex-
acting to the last degree, but Practical
In the highest sense. He lived in the
world and of it, and he lived wholly and
unreservedly for what he believed to be
the one transcendent object of all living
the saving of souls through the gospel
OF Jesus Christ He demanded of those
who came 20 him that they turn over
their whole being to the service of God.
No more acceptable tribute Can be paid
the man than to say that he exempliied
the faith he taught to very high and
unusual degree; or to his work than to
say that its service to the Christian re-
hgion has been of incalculable value.
In the regeneration of the world we
need preachers of all kinds. SO long, be
1t understood, as sincerity is the main
spring of t, cir work. But it will be
many centuries before the religions
world shall cease to need men like Moo
dy to help men along the paths of godli-
ness by straight and simple methods
the methods that Christ taught alike to
the child and to the sage. Pioneer
