Mr.. Moody leaned 'oyer the pulpit and
asked the singer Il he had Eot solo
for the occasion. The thought of the
verses he had re9i in tn. penny paper
came to Mr.. Sankey's mind, and, open
ing his Scrapbook, in which he had
pasted the clipping, he placed it before
him on the organ, and, after a moment
of silent supple alton, struck full
chord and began to sing. And note
by note came the now famous song.
He composed it MS he went along. What
he sang was the joy that swelled in
his own soul, hope that WIS born, the
love for those who needed help. Thus
he finished the first stanza.
Then, as he paused and played few
chords, waiting to begin again, the
! thought came to him: Can sing the
second stanza as l did the first? Car
RENE mber the notes." And concen
trating his mind once more for the eff
fort. he began to sing. So he went or
| through for five stanzas and after the
services he put the melody IN music.

manding the love and respect Of all
who know him. Until within a few
years he has always made out his quar-.
terly reports himself, and though now
unable to perform actual labor he
visits the Office daily and knows what
is going on.
The receipts the first year were
1888; now they are from 5000 to $500
1t is therefore apparent that though
regarded "well to do" if not wealthy
his money has not been made in the
post Office but by general store, farm
ing and other interests. He was in
