The FitteSt Survives
BY j. H. CONNOLLY.

The young man bowed himeslf out,
and Mr.. Willmarth in the moment Of
his departure was so good as to wish
him success in whatever enterprise he
might invest his capital. His cap
ital!" He had never before realized
how contemptibly puny a sum of
$4,000 was. 1t could be carried In q
vest pocket And he had had the
inane folly to mention that sun in fg-
ures to this Plutusl
But he had not gone far from the
bank until n reaction set in. True, the
sum was small, but he would show the
world, and especially Mr.. Willmarth,
what could be done with IL. Others
starting with even less had become
millionaires right here in Wall street,
and why should not he? He would.
First, he would marry Trina and bid
defiance to her father. She might
have to give up some unnecessary lux
uries for\a little time, until he had
made a fortune, but how gladly she
would consent to~do so! Dear, noble
hearted, loving, faithful girl !

TO TAKE UP MOODY's WORK.
1t Is Said Rev. DIR. Morgan Will Come
From England to America,
by Invitation.

London Nov 13.-It is said Rev. G.
Campbell Morgan. of London. will go
to the United States to become the
successor of Rev. Dwight L. Moody.
W, Il. Moody, the late eyangelist's
son. has come to England to invite
DIR. Morgan to take up the great North
field preachers work. The invitation
is accompanied by the hearty indorse
mnts of many of Moody's American
associates.
Mr. Morgan is reported to view the
idea favorably. He plans to devote
four months of each year in lecturing
to the Mortified divinity students,
four months to an itinerary evangeli-
cal campaign and the remainder of his
time to recreation and rest
1t is likely that Ira d. Sankey will
cooperate With Mr. Morgan in the
same manner that he has worked with
Mr. Moody.
Mr. Morgan is the pastor of the New
Court Congregational chapel of North
London. He came to the metropolis
from Birmingham two years ago and
speedily won recognition as an effec-
tive preacher. His call to step into
the late Dwight L. Moody's place is
largely the result of the impression
created during his course of lectures
at Mortified last summer
