ECHOES FROMTHE PULPIT
and PLATFORM,
Living Truths for Head and Heart,
BY ID. L. MOODY.

by IL, Il. NloOD Il.
It is the prime object of this new
and splendidly illustrated volume to
perpetuate for all time the GREAT
AND LIVING TRUTHS taught by the
world famous Evangelist DWIGHT L.
MOODY, as exemplifed in his platform
work. 1t is the only volume that
contains the best and ripest thoughts
of his later years, just as he proclaim
ed them from the pulpit and the
platform when he was at the very
height of his fame, and in the full
maturity Of his powers.
This volume is Dwight L. Moody in
print. Here are given his best
thoughts, his most touching stories of
deepest pathos, his most thrilling an
ecdotes and Incidents, together with
the hundreds of personal experiences
that he so often and effectively told
on the platform. He played upon the
feelings of an audience as with an en-
chanter's wand, at one time filling
their hearts with gladness, at another
binding their eyes with tears. AT
his bidding hearts were melted, and
strong men, as we'll as sensitive wo-
men, wept tears of compassion, were
reused to indignation, or moved to
laughter, in spite Of every effort to
control their feelings. In this volume
all Of these remarkable qualities are
retained. But whenever he told a
story of mirth or sorrow, it was al
ways to illustrate a GREAT AND LIVING
TRUTH, and in this volume these
"LIvING TRUTHs'' stand out as BEACON
LIGHTS.
1t also contains complete story of
Mr.. Moody's life and career, from the
cradle to the grave, by REV. CHARLES
F. Goss, D. D., who for five years was
his assistant and CO WORKER, ADD VINO,
at Mr.. Moody's urgent request, was
pastor of Mr.. Moody's church III chi
cago. Every phase of his evenufu
life is here portrayed by the one man
Mr.. Moody himself as his fellow la
borer, and the pastor Of his own
church.
It also contains an introduction by
REV. LYMAN ABBOTT, D. D. No high
er compliment could be paid to the
value of this volume than the fact
that the foremost living American
preacher should write a lengthy in
PRODUCTION to it, and thus forever con-
meet his name with it. 1t is the only
book on Mr.. Moody for which DR..
Abbott has written. This unique vol
ume stands peerless and alone, for
there is no other like it. 1t must not
be COMPOUNDED with any mere "Life
of Moody" So called; it occupies
field absolutely alone. 1t gives what
no biography alone contains.-the
best and latest thoughts, the living
words of the great Evangelist. 1t is
largely AUTOBIOGRAPHY CAL, for no
person can portray Mr.. Moody's life
and its wonderful experiences so we'll
as he himself has done it in his own
words in this volume.
1t contains a fine steel plate por-
trait of Mr.. Moody, from photograph,
and other portraits at various stages
in his career. But the prime feature
of it's splendid illustrations is the seri
es OF magnificent full page Photo
grayure plates, from original paint
ings made by eminent artists expressly
for this book. They illustrate many
of Mr.. Moody's wonderful personal
in many of which he
himself was the central figure. There
is no other book at ali to be compared
with it in illustrations.
We do not know when $40 pages
have given Us more genuine pleasure.
If we speak warmly of the book, it is
because it richly deserves it. It is
sold only by agents, and as might be
it is meeting with a large
sale. Put it into your homes. 1t will
be read over and over again by old
and young, with pleasure and lasting
profit, and may we'll be handed down
from father to son, and mother to
as the best guide in life that
was ever published.
The book is published by the old
