A hitherto unpublished bit of the val

went to the Moody school: "On the hill

Farmer Caldwell, an atheist Moody

'.One day his wife announced that
she was going to take the children to

the river. He offered no objection. The
birds in the great elms were doing
their best TO furnish free song for his
entertainment. Suddenly from over the

He never cultivated this voice. Critics
said il was not complete voice. but mil
lions who heard it subsequently failed
to define its sweetness. They knew he
could sing-felt the effect of it-while
no hall in which he sang his hymns ever
could hold the crowds that sought adj
mission. Until two years ago all the
strength of that voice was put into a
song. Mr.. Sankey said then that he
had range wider than that which cap
tivated millions abroad on the famous
trip with Moody. But to-day it is
doubtful if Mr. Sankey could sing
loud enough to attract the attention of
one of his faithful nurses Two of the

voice had died on Farmer CaldwelTs

from the garden bench. He thought of
his wife and children over there on

- OMEWHERE in Southland,
away from the harsh

T whose voice has moved mil
lions, is awaiting the end.
A broken man, physically-a mere
shadow of the formerly robust and pro-
digiously energetic go pound frame that
seemed to be tireless-this wonderful
man is shielded from the worlds view
by loving friends. His sightless eyes
may never glow again with the light
that charmed the multitudes in two hem

ated features could not be taken for
those whose rudy fullness bespoke the
vigorous hymn singer. If weighted in
the finest balance, Ira D. Sankey to-day
would not tip the beam bit over go
pounds.
What contrast to the days when his
immense chest swelled beneath the
