 Rev. Joseph Cook, SC we'll known in V
 lis Hemingway, was great friend of
 the late D. R. Moody, the evangelist,
 and at the gathering of the Evangelistic
 association of New England held in
 Boston last week, after protracted ill., ness, came to speak on "Mr. Moody as
 Evangelist and Biblical Educator.'''
 During his address he praised MT.
 Moody for his business sagacity and his | mowers ao an orpp y1i1or The ox, v,cro1.. ist, he said, exerted dominant power in
 his religious gatherings but was never l offensively distatorial. Men of powers
 in the same field submitted willingly to
 his leadership. He had the confidence of business men and neither he nor MT. l Sankey was ever charged with making money from his books, the profits of
 which were given for evangelization. It was the confidence felt in him which led merchants to pile up for his use hum dreds of thousands of dollars. As to the future, MT. Cook predicted that if MT. Moodys plans were followed plenty of money would be forthcoming to con- tinue Mr. Moodys work with. It would take ten ordinary business men to make up one man of the calibre of MT. Moody | and another ten ordinary hearts tomake a heart like his.
 MT. Moody frequently visited the late Hiram Camp at his home on Ferry street. MT. Camp was liberal donor during his life towards MT. Moody's. 7. schools at Northfield and at his death left large sum for the work. Week of prayer services are to be held this week in several local churches.
