 A MonumeE to Endow Schools in His 1 Memory.
 1t is now a little more than a veal
 since the death of D. l.. Moody. the
 Well-knoWn evangelist. and Christian
 worker, and throughout the country
 there has been not little comment re-
 garding what would be done to con-
 tinue the various lines of work in which
 he was engaged. There has also been
 considerable discussion among his
 friends as to what would be the best
 plan for memorial for him. The man
 was so generally loved had influenced
 the lives and enjoyed the confidence of
 so many people all over the world that
 the need of some expression of this kind
 seems unquestioned. It has been gene
 rally agreed among those who are best
 acquainted with him and his work that the most appropriate plan in which this sympathy could be expressed would be
 to form an endowment fund to perpet-
 uate the care for the schools which he established and which were through his efforts largely supported.
 Mir. Moody's work was peculiar to | hi cn1f |. established are unique in character. They consist of the Northfeld seminary and Training school for young women, the Mt. Hermon school for young men, the College Bible Institute and the Northfeld Institute.
 The Northfield seminary accommo- dates about four hundred young wo- men. The buildings include nine dor mitories, gymnasium, library, recitation hall, auditorium and other buildings.
 The Mt. Hermon school cares for young men, and is also well equipped with buildings and other facilities for carrying on it's work.
 The Institute at Chicago is especially for training Christian workers in the study of the English Bible and methods of Christian work Has an annual en- rolment of two hundred students and during the past ten years sent out about three thousand to engage in evan geIistic, missionary and other Chris tian work.
 For some years past MT. Moody's work has been largely confined to the i,,t ,f+ ay,1 of the many summer conferences and gatherings which were hedr at North field. He evidently believed in this plan of setting others at work rather than trying to accomplish everything himself. He had implicit faith in the work of these institutions. In describ- ing their purpose he said: ''The object of the Northfeld schools is to help young men and women of very little means to get an education such as would have done me good when I was their age" T want to help them into lives which will help them most for the cause of Christ" and again he said, we want promising girls and boys, the poorer the better"
 Tn 1890 he wrote a friend, My school work will not tell much until the centu ry closes, but when I am gone I shall leave some grand men and women be- hind"
 MT. Moody was very successful in raising funds for the support of these schools as we'll as in securing infuen- tial friends for them and the best busi- ness men as trustees to look after their interests.
 As a result the work in all of these institutions is being carried on upon the lines which he laid down and without loss of interest or enthusiasm.
 There will no doubt be prompt and l liberal response to the effort now being put forth towards securing an endow- | nent fund that will permanently sup | port these schools and thus build for | Mr. Moody an enduring monument.
 The treasurer of the fund is MT. D. i W. McWilliams, 2S7 Fourth avenue New York city, well-known business nan and one who was for many years , close friend of MT Moody. MT. Me- will be glad to receive con- ributions of any amount, large or mall, from all who wish to have a 'art in honoring MT. Moody's memory md desire to perpetuate the work which he SO much loved.
 The executive committee of the Moody memorial endowment advisory committee has issued the following cir ular letter concerning the endowment ,lan:
 "A year ago MT D. l.. Moody entered nto rest; since then the schools which e established at Northlield, Mount Iermon and Chicago have been contin- ed with undiminished success Mr. foody was a, man of the people and his york was for them. This was marked I his evangelistic efforts as well as in is educational work. The object of his chools was to minister to those who Ike himself had limited means, and in heir earlier days few advantages.
