A NEW BOOK.
Echoes From the Pulpit and Plat
form, or Living Truths for
Head and Heart, by
D. L. Moody.

1t is the prime object of this new
and splendidly illustrated volume to
perpetuate for all time the great
and living truths taught by the world
famous evangelist, Dwight L. Moody,
as exemplified in his platform work.
1t is the only volume that contains
the best and ripest thoughts of his
later years, just as he proclaimed
them from the pulpit and platform
when he was at the very height of his
fame and in the full maturity of his
powers.
This volume is Dwight l.. Moody in
print. Here are given his best
thoughts, his most touching stories of
deepest pathos, his most thrilling
anecdotes and incidents, together
with the hundreds of personal exper-
fences that he so often and effectively
told on the platform. He played with
the feelings of an audience as with
an enchanter's wand, at one time fill
ing their hearts with gladness, at an
other binding their eyes with tears.
At his bidding hearts were melted,
and strong men, as well as sensitive
women, wept tears of compassion,
were reused to Indignation, or moved
to laughter, in spite of every effort to
control their feelings. In this volume
all of these remarkable qualities are
retained. But whenever he told
tale of mirth or sorrow, it was always
to illustrate great and living truth,
and in this volume these ''living
truths" stand out as beacon lights.
1t also contains a complete story of
Mr.. Moody's life and career from the
cradle to the grave, by Rev. Charles
his assistant and co-worker and who,
at Mr.. Moodys request, was pastor of
Mr.. Moody's church in Chicago. Ev-
cry phase of his eventful life is here
portrayed by the one man above all
others who was chosen by Mr.. Moody
himself as his fellOw-laborer, and the
pastor of his own church.
It also contains an introduction by
Rev. Lyman Abbot, D. D. No higher
compliment could be paid to the value
of this volume than the fact that the
foremost living American preacher
should write lengthy introduction to
it. and thus forever connect his name
with it. 1t is the only book on Mr..
Moody for which DR.. Abbot has writ
ten.
This unique volume stands peerless
and alone, for there is no other like
it. 1t must not be confounded with
any mere 'Life of Moody" so-called ;
it occupies field absolutely alone. 1t
gives what no biography alone con-
tains,-the best and latest thoughts,
the living, breathing words of the
great evangelist. 1t is largely auto
biograhical, for no person can portray
Mr.. Moody's life and its wonderful
experiences so well as he himself has
done it in his own words in this vol
ume.
1t contains a fine steel-p plate por-
trait of Mr.. Moody, from a photo
graph, and other portraits at various
stages in his career. But the prime
feature of its splendid illustrations is
the series of magnificent full-page
photogravure plates, from original
paintings made by eminent artists ex-
pressly for this book. They illustrate
many of Mr.. Moody's wonderful per-
sonal experiences, in many of which
he himself was the central figure.
There is no book at all to be compared
with it in illustrations.
We do not know when $40 pages
have given us more genuine pleasure.
If we speak warmly of the book, it is
because it richly deserves it. 1t is
sold only by agents, and as might be
expected, it is meeting with a large
sale. Put it into your homes. 1t will
be read over and over again by old
and young, with pleasure and lasting
profit, and may well be handed down

daughter, as the best guide in life
that was ever published.
The book is published by the old and
well-known firm of A. ID. WOrthing-
ton & Co., Hartford, Conn.,, whose i'm
print is sufficient guarantee of the
great excellence of this first-class
volume. They want more agents for
it. An agency for book SO good and
popular as this offers to the worthy
men and women an unusually
good opportunity to earn for them
selves, while selling a book that will
reflect the utmost credit upon them
as agents.
