religious campaign, he was something
of n martinez | remember a little
scene between him and the able secre-
tary and manager of his London com
mittee, Robert Patton. 1t was II o'clock
on a Saturday morning. Mr.. Moody
had suddenly changed the plan of cam
paign for the following week and he
wanted fresh tickets ready in time to
distribute to his 5000 workers who
would assemble early the next Sunday
morning at the o'clock workers
meeting. Patton said he, informing
him of his change of plan, Il want
10000 tickets (handing him copy ready
for the workers meeting tomorrow
morning" "Impossibler' said Patton
why impossible?" asked Moody
Why" replied Patton, this is Satur-
day and II o'clock. All the printing
establishments close down work at
noon to-day, and, even if they did not,
10000 tickets could not be prepared in
half "A day" They argued the point a
few minutes and then Moody turned
upon his heel with the remark: Patton,
it must be done" Mr.. Patton looked
blankly for a moment at the huge re-
treating figure and then went out of the
room like a shot and in two minutes he
was in cab tearing down to the print
ing establishment. l do not know how
it was managed, but the 10000 tickets
were distributed the next morning TO-
his 5000 workers. Thus it ever was
with Moody. Once In a critical times
during the early building operations up
here, Mr.. Marshall, his general super
intendent, said that it was absolutely
necessary before the end Of the week
that a large sum of money be had. That
afternoon Mr.. Moody took train Tor
New York. He came back the next day
with the money. He did not borrow IT.
Moody. of all men ever knew, could
do things, and he did them. As heard
one of his close friends only yesterday
say: He always got there And

OF Canaan; and into the land Of Canaan
