Raised Six Millions But Died
Poor.
! 1t would be difficult to estimate
the indebtedness of the world to.
Mr.. Dwight l.. Moody, the great
evangelist, who died few weeks
ago. Men may differ as to the
propriety of some of his methods.
but that he was wholly sincere, de-
voted and unselfish and that his
life was blessing to humanity
there can be no doubt. 1t is esti-
mated that the enormous sums he
raised for religious work aggre-
gated six million dollars; and yet
he died literally q poor man, after
having lived in the simplest and
pIainest manner. Think of it. Six
million dollars raised through his
efforts and spent for Christian AS
sociations, for education and for
religious enterprises of nearly all
kinds. And the man left so little
means of his own that his family
are dependent upon their exertiops
for their daily bread. In this age
of greed, when avarice and covet-
BUSINESS seem to rule nearly all
classes, from the little mean churl
who seeks to clutch an extra dollar
or two by hook or by crook, here
driving sharp bargain or there
cheating his neighbor in horse
trade, to the millionaire head of the
gigantic trust who wrings tribute
from multitudes of his fellow-men
by forcing up prices, the life of
Mr.. Moody supplies glorious ex-
ception and example. There was
man who had nobler aspirations
than mere money,getting for his
own enjoyment. There was man
who truly loved, not money, but
God and his fellow-man. He laid
up his treasure in heaven, and it is
no wonder that Death had no ter
rors for him.

for the sutton she had before re-
jected, and within 81 hours, with
the same priest whom she had en-
gagged for the previous ceremony,
was welded to Harry Bobaak,
