dom sings the hymns which he and his
fellow worker, Sankey, composed. He
aided in the erection of dozens of =.
NJ. G. A. buildings. The Christian, but
n%on-sectarian, schools at Mt. Hermon
and Mortified, Conn, were founded
and supported by Mr.. Moody. and are
now among the most flourishing edu-
cational institutions in this country.
Hundreds of young men and women
are educated there each year. The 'n-
situations are so endowed and provided
for that the death of their founder will
not impair their usefulness. He re-
ceived large amounts of money, but
always spent what he received for the
advancement of Christianity as he be-
lievcd right, and died n comparatively
poor man. Mr.. Moody was non-secta-
rian in every respect. He preached
the broad doctrine of Christianity to
all alike. He was born in n Unitarian
home, but had full appreciation and
liberation for every other mans belief.
Mr.. Moody was a plain, everyday
sort of man without any %pretensions
to the style and forms of the world.
When not holding revivals he worked
on his farm and delighted in the work.
He arose every morning at S o'clock
and rain or storm couldn't keep him ir-
doors. He was always strong, ruggca
and active. He was n social man and
a jolly companion. In his home life
he vas an ideal husband and father.
He studied the Bible closely and was
a great reader of newspapers and cur
rent literature. Although lie appeared
to speak off-hand. he gave great prep
aration to his sermons, and it is said
that he has given rs much as two
years to the formation of one sermon
As a speaker lie was plain, witty. sym
pathetic and enthusiastic. The legacy
which lie %bcqueathed. to his family
was the continuation of the work that
he considered he had only begun.

In the township of Mortified, Conn,
is a small elevation known as Ground
Top" 1t is the summit of a gradual
rising slope. and is crowned with more
than n score of sturdy old pines left
from the forests of years ago. In the
shade of these trees Dwight T.. Moody
played when q boy. and on the slope Of
the hill over which they keep silent SEN
tinel the remains of the great evangel-
list have been given to the grave. IL is
a fitting rcsting-place for Il lover of ma
ture and one of the greatest students
Of humanity. The signing of the
mournful pines family echoes the grief
of the world that knew him, and the
plain, rugged beauty of the surrounding
scenery are cmblematic of the life and
character of the man.
People who have listened to Mr..
Moody or who have come within the in
tluence of his personality have wonder
cd why he scmcd to affect them more
than any other person That they had
ever heard or seen before. To some
small extent this was owing to what is
usually called personal magnetism, but
the secret of his power lay in the fact
that he was n of the greatest stu
dents of humanity that the world has
ever known; that he could feel, and did
feel. as others felt; that he looked upon
the practical side of things and used
practical means to secure results. He
did not fight the devil with snowballs
of e%loQuencc. or use soothing lotions
upon his scared victims; he fought
with fire. and applied the strongest an
tidotes. He possessed the skill of a
general and the tact of n diplomat. He
realized that practical work was as nee
essary as preaching. At one time
when he was holding revival meetings
in New York City, there was a great
cry against the roof gardens. His posi-
ton on the subject showed the lines of
action which he pursued. He said,
we need roof gardens, but they
ought to be on the tops of churches.
Every church ought to have a roof gar
den. Make them as attractive as the
beer gardens. Sell lemonade and soft
drinks there summer evenings. Have
them open every evening. Have songs
and sermons"
He was not a highly educated man,
nor was he what the world would call
eloquent. His power as a speaker lay
in the fact that he spoke to his auditors
in n manner and in words that they
could understand. He was careful
never to shoot over their heads, and al
ways .%endeavored to be entertaining as
well as interesting. On account of his
plain III of speaking he was ac-
cused on n certain occasion in Boston
of lowering the pulpit. This was his
reply: "1f lowering the pulpit means
bringing them to the people / would to
God 1 could! If l wanted to hit Boston
you don't think l would mount my guns
on Bunker Hill monument and fire into
the air, do you! He made a study of
every one that he met. Hc worked upon
humanity through itself. At n time
when in Chicago he wished to secure
some particular favor from Mr.. Ar
mour, who was always a close friend
of his. Mr.. Moody was always IN
early riser, but II evening he notified

the hotel clerk that he wished to he
called unusually early on the following
morning. He explained that he wished
to call upon MI. Armour in the MORN
ing. and added: HE likes people who
get around early" On another occa-
sion when preaching in the slums of
q large city lie was delayed in leaving
the hall till late in the evening. AS he
left the building a number of roughs
were waiting to annoy him. He heard
them say, Here lie comes!" and they
prepared to jostle him from the side
walk. He walked directly up TO the
ringleader, and with the greatest self
possession said: My friend, won't YOU
just help me on With this overcoat? 1
am not quite so active now as l was at
your age. and some day, when you are
as old as l am, I'll be glad to do you
the same favor" The bully gracefully
held the overcoat, and Mr.. Moody,
after thanking him, walked on unmo-
tested. Such instances as these show
the wonderful tact that the man pos
sessed in handling people.
Beginning His Work.
Mr.. Moody began Ills work as an
evangelist in Chicago. He was the
teacher Of a small Sunday school class,
and he determined to reach the chill
dren Of the Sums and streets. He
worked among them aud used every
means to attract them to the Sunday

They Married. {; :

An interesting story of love
match made within the towering
shadows of the California Sierras
and the final triumph of the lovers,
over stern parental objection has
been unfounded through wedding
which took place in philadelphia

| but Mr.. Hoffman, objected. The
young woman persisted and he
planned to take her abroad. Sha
agreed to 60 on one condition.
that she should be permitted to
marry Mr.. Farrell upon her re-:
turn. Mr.. Hoffman, accepted the
stipulation. with the amendment,
however, that she should not in the
meantime write to Mr.. Farrell or
he to her, and that she should not
speak of him during her European
soiourn.
Mr.. Hoffman, and his daughter
went abroad early in 1898. Three
weeks ago they returned. When
the ship reached New York Miss
hoffman, broke the long silence
about Mr.. Farrell. She had kept
her agreement, and her father will
ingly relented.
AT the Waldorf-Astor she called
up Mr.. Farrell on the telephone.
The first words he heard from her
in two years were: "Everything is
all right"
This was January Is. The next
day Mr.. Farrell went to New York,
a formal reintroduction to Miss
Hoffmann's father took place and
preparations for the wedding be-
gan Immediately. Then Miss Hoff-
mann went back to California with
