The Great Evangelist.

One of the most remarkable lives of
the century came to an end with the
recent death of Dwight l.. Moody.
During the last 40 years no other man
has Influenced the Englsh-spealiing
world on it's moral and religious side
more profoundly than he. No other
man has brought so many people to
personal sense of their responsibility
TO God. Mr.. Moody was salesman
In n Chicago shoe store when he began
the work to which his whole subse-
quent life was dedicated. Many sales
men in receipt of his small salary
would have felt that they could not
afford to hire whole pew. Mr. Moody
began by hiring four pews and filled
them with men and boys gathered
from the streets. When he offered his
services as a teacher in the Sunday
school he was told that there was no
vacancy, but he could have class If
he would provide the pupils himself.
The next Sunday he marched in at the
head of 1s ragged and homeless boys.
lie next hired an old tavern in a slum
quarter of the city and paid the rent
out of his own pocket. Here he found
ed his first mission, and here his Pc
culiar power as n preacher began to
attract attention-a power which soon
made larger auditorium necessary.
The great Chicago tabernacle was
built, and this, too, was soon crowded
with the eager thousands who flocked
to hear him. In 1873. and again in
1888, Mr.. Moody, in company with Ira
d. Sankey, made a tour of Great Brit
ain, during which audiences of $4,000
and 1900 people were addressed.
These and successive cvangelistic tours
through the United States created a
the religious history of the country
and made Mr.. Moody's name known
all over the world. The secret of his
power he himself explained to a friend
in these words: II have got only one
talent. I have no education, but love
the Lord Jesus Christ and / want to
do something for Him." 1t was this
love and desire, says Youths Com
panion. glowing in every word and
thrilling in every sentence, which
touched even the most unresponsive of
his bearers. In The fervor of his ear
nestness and singleness of purpose,
criticisms of his homely speech and
colloqulal manner melted away and
his hearers left him quickened and
uplifted.

"Setting the River on Fire."

In old English times, when each fam
lily was obliged to sift it's own flour, it
sometimes happened that an energetic
man would turn his sieve so rapidly as
to cause it to catch fire. The style of
sieve used in those days was called a
''temse," and it became customary
saying that a lazy man would never set
the tense on fire. Now, it happens
that the name of the river Thames is
pronounced like the name Of this old
flour sieve, and after many years, when
the old fashioned tense was forgotten,
it was thought that setting the tense
on fire meant setting the river on fire,
and that is why today we say that a
stupid person will never set the river
on fire.-Ladies' Home Journal

Ladies' Home Journal which required
the Presidents approval for publication.
The president asked that the article be
given to him. At the end of week the
manuscript came back edited in a way
which completely won editorial admira-
ton. The President was apparently
thoroughly conversant with all the
marks which editors use in making cor
rections. Every erasure and interlinea-
ton had its proper sign and each was in
the Presidents own handwriting.
