Mr.. Moody said i'm an interview just be-
fore starting from Mortified:
Il shall not ask for dollar i'm aid of
the endowment fund of the Moody school
while l am on this trip. You cant mix
religion and money in that way. IL would
simply kill the work We are endeavor-
ing to win souls to Christ. We recognize
that there are legitimate expense bills
that must be paid, but that is all.
DO l hope in time to become an active
speaker at evangelical meetings, following
In the footsteps of my father? That re-
mains to be seen. Under God | desire to
be successful, but l am endeavoring when
l make move to move right
Rev. G. Campbell Morgan comes over
to reside in America in June. 1t is not
yet settled where he will locate. 1t will
be at some central point so that he can
readily reach all parts of the country.
one of the members of his family is in
delicate health, and for that reason he
will seek a warmer climate. He may To-
cate in the vicinity of Baltimore. We
shall all work In harmony in this North
field extension movement. Campbell Nor
gan will be with us at all three of the
summer conferences which will be held
in East Mortified this summer.
The conference for young men will be
from June % to July IL ; for young women
from July ID to July %; and for Christian
workers from Aug. | to Is, inclusive. We
have issued invitations to many promi
nent workers and leaders. but the list of
those who will be here is not yet COM
plete.
Are we prospecting since the death of
my father? Yes. We received more
money last year tnan was received during
the last year of his life II was all
applied to the schools and for the pur-
poses he would have applied it if he were
living. The number of pupils in all the
schools both here at East Mortified. Mt.
Hermon and Chicago, is larger than ever
before.
The endowment fund Is growing. We
have not received returns from all the
appeals which we made to all the evan
gelical churches in the country last
month. In many of the churches the col
lections have not yet been taken. | am
warranted i'm saying, however. that the
appeal will bring to the three schools
at least $4,000. Every cent of this will
be applied to the endowment funds and
divided equally between the schools for
girls here the one for boys at Mt Her
mon and the school at Chicago.
THE health of my mother is excellent.
She is living quietly in her home here"
