Prof. Drummond,s Estimate or Moodv.

Prof. Drummond's Estimate OF Moody.
The following estimate of d. L. Moody
was written few years ago for McClure's
Magazine by Prof Henry Drummond of
England, now dead: "Simpe as this man
is, and homely as are his surroundings,
probably America possesses at this moment
no more extraordinary parsonage; nor
even among the most brilliant of her sons
has any rendered more stupendous or more
enduring service TO his country or his time
No public man is less understood, espe-
cially by the thinking world, than d. L,
Moody. 1t is not that ii is unaware of
his existence, or even that it does not
respect him. But his line is so special.
his work has laid so apart from what 1t
conceives to be the rational channels of
progress, that il has never felt called upon
to take him seriously. So little, indeed, is
the true stature of this man known to the
mass of his generation that the prelim-
mary estimate recorded here must seem
both extravagant and il-considered. 1t
Will surprise many TO know that Mr..
Moody is as different from the supposed
type OF his class as light is from dark; that
while he would be the last to repudiate the
name, indeed, while glorying more and
more each day he lives in the work of the
evangelist, he sees the weaknesses, the
narrownesses, and the limitations of that
order with as clear an eye as the most I'M
sparing of its critics. But especially will
IL surprise many TO know that while
preaching to the masses has been the
main outward work OF Mr.. Moody's life.
he has, perhaps, more, and more varied,
irons in the fire - educational, philan-
thropic, religious - than almost any living
man; and that vast as has been his public
service as a preacher to the masses. it is
probably true that his personal Influence
and private character have done as much
as his preaching to affect his day and gen
Grafton. Whether estimated by the moral
qualities which go to the making up of his
personal character, or the extent to which
he has impressed these upon whole com
munities OF men on both sides of the
Atlantic, there is perhaps, no more truly
great man living than d. l.. Moody. But
| have met multitudes, and personally
know, In large numbers men and women
of all churches and creeds, of many coun-
tries and ranks, from the poorest to the
richest, and from the most ignorant to the
most wise, upon whom he has placed an
ineffaceable moral mark. There is no
large town in Great Britain or Ireland, and
l perceive there are few in America, where
TINS man has not gone, where he has not
lived for days, weeks or months, or where
he has not left behind him personal inspir-
atoms which live to this day; inspirations
which, from the moment of their birth,
have not ceased to evidence themselves in
turthering domestic happiness and peace;

religious, and even municipal and national

a woman by the way, has put this thrill of
joy at running so much dirty water to the
west in these lines:
o listen-pause, and tell me is not there
Some strange, sweet thrill. some ripple to betray
That thou art changed: Some alien sound to
prove
Thy tide II turning to a brighter shore.
Ana Vigor streaming to the very shorey
o surely thou dost feel this gentle move
OF clear, blue waters, like the dawn Of love
Steal TO thy heart from an exhaustless store
St. Louis does not take kindly to this
dawn of love" II appreciates rather
some lines written by correspondent of
the Chicago Times Herald running like
this:
o, the rivers flowing westward,
And the waters getting blue;
It's fragrance is departing,
And the germs are going too!
There is woe 10 old 81. Louis
Where the moss is long and thick
And the people there are busy
Getting ready TO be sick.

Lord God, when we besought so late,
Thou wouldst not suffer us forget
Thy name and our weak human state
Have patience, Lord, a little yet
Today no pomp Of empire fills
The wintry land; amazed and awed
We watch Thy slowly grinding Mills
Mete out TO us our just reward.
Today, by foemen sore beset
Dismayed we draw our destined lot,
We prayed to Thee Lest we forget"
And, even as we prayed, forgot.
With foolish, rash, vainglorious words
And sorry elf-sutiiciency
We boasted, girding on our swords,
As those who laid their armour by.
Wherefore the curse upon us lies
OF warriors all unready found,
OF braggarts blinded to despise
Their foe before the trumpet's sound.
Humbly we call upon Thy Name,
Ere sounds once more the grim assault,
We do confess, o Lord, with shame,
Our fault. our very grievous fault.
Give back our fathers stern disdain
OF idle brag and empty boast,
So shall we stand erect again
And face unmoved the hostile host

When men wore clothes Ike these,
Charles III. OF England issued a
proclamation suppressing coffee
houses. He considered them hot
beds of sedition and dangerous to
the public peace.
Times have changed since then.
In these days benevolent persons
establish coffee houses. having
learned that they promote the public
welfare. The reason for this is that
they drink coffee at home them
selves, and know its virtue.
Perhaps if it had been possible
for King Charles to have known
such coffee as we have to-day, the
kind that is sold by Chase 6, San
born, he would have done different.
No one can fail to be benefited
