Of 1900 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 l the man to present a

We are today laying in the kindly bosom

u.
UNCONVENTIONAL character, arranged by
the friends of Mr.. Moody here and d
number of ministers of all denomIna-
tons.
The services opened with the render
ing of Chopins funeral march. Rev. r,
F. Morse, assistant pastor Of the chur0n,
conducted the ceremonies. in his re-
marks Mr. Morse said that Mr.. Moody
did not read the Testament in the orig
fl,o T-aS ~, fF7o
Hebrew, but ne was an assIduous stu
dent Of the English Bible. He said 1t
was hardly exsggeration to say that Mr..
Moody was more familiar with the En-
giish Scriptures than any man in this
country.
Rev Dr. R. T. Macarthur, IN his ad-
dress, related a peculiar coincidence
dating back to last summer, when he
had written Mr. Moody asking him to
preach in tent and at night IN the Cal
vary church Mr.. Moody wrote that he
was not feeling well, but said:
81 shall be with you, though, and we
shall have great service In Calvary
church"
Dr. Macarthur said:
Moody has taken his place among the
imruortals. Mr. Moody's evangelism
marks an era In the history of evan
gelism in England and America. With
out the learning of the schools he was
still an educated man in MS sphere. Mr..
Moody was a willing student In the
school Of Christ. which, after all, IS tho
noblest of all schools.
DR.. MacArthurs address was followed
by the singing of one Of Moody's favor
lite gospel hymns. Some Day the Silver
Cord VIII Break
Rev. DR.. Hills, of Plymouth church,
Brooklyn, said:
MOODY was in my opinion, the great
est evangelist since WHITEHEAD, and since
the Apostle Paul there has been no man
who has preached to so great multi
tutude of people and lea so many TO
Christ. To the end Of time Mr. Moodys
teachings will last. The simplicity or
his words went right to the heart OF
common men. His conscientiousness, his
enthusiasm. his inspired common sense,
his kindness, all made him especially
attnd for his work.
