IRA D. SANKEY
dies IN BROOKLYN
FAMOUS SINGING EVANGELIST
PASSES AWAY AFTER LONG
ILLNESS.
Sind and Broken Down---He Wrote
Gospel Hymns Of the World and
Travelled with o. L. Moody for
Many Years.

NoW IOIh, AuBs lO.--lTA ~. OdHhey
known as an evangelist throughout
the Christian world, died Thursday
night at his home in Brooklyn, but the
news of his passing did not become
generally known until Friday. Mr.
sankey was SO years old.
For the last five years he had been
blind and had suffered from a compli
cation CT diseases brought on by
overwork. But almost to the very last
he worked at hymn writing His tours
throughout this country and Europe
with Dwight l.. Moody, the evangelist
brought him into wide prominence.
Sankey, II might be said, wrote the
Gospel hymns of the world. In China
Egypt, India, Japan. in almost every
language known to man, Sankey's
hymns are sung He received large
income from his publications and
leaves a considerable estate. Among
Mr.. Sankey's most familiar compost
tions are The Ninety and Nine" and
When the Mists Have Rolled Away
His songs are said to have had a cir
culatlon of more than 50,O0O.00
copies.
His Voice Preserved for Posterity.
He was a rapid composer and wrote
book after book of Gospel hymns
During the last FIVE or six years OF his
life he was interested in preparing and
publishing the story OF the Gospel
hymns. At the same time he saved
his wonderful voice for posterity by
singing into monographs. The rec
ords we're sent all over the world.
Sankey first met Moody at Y. NJ,
c. A. convention in indianapolis
Moody was so charmed with the young
mans voice that he urged him to &C
company him on his evangellstic
tours. Sankey explained that he was
married and could not give up his posi-
ton. You must come" said Moody
IL can't get along without you" San.
key consulted his wife and they cast
in their lot with Mr.. Moody. They
visited Great Britain from 1873 to
1875, and again in 1883, and made
many tours throughout the United
States.
Broken Down by Overwork.
When Mr.. Moody died, Mr.. Sankey
felt keenly the loss of his friend
From that time he tried to conduct the
work alone which they had hitherto
shared between them, but the task
was too great. In 1902 his physical
condition compelled him to give up
most Of his evangelical engagements
although he continued for some time
to compile new series of hymn books
Then came failing eyesight, which
speedily developed into total blind.
ness. With the blindness came also a
nervous breakdown. After his retire
ment from public life the impression
became general throughout the ooun-
try that he was dead.
Mr.. Sankey lived In Brooklyn for
27 years, and 1t was there that most OF
his songs we're written. He was a
singer from boyhood, and his voice at
tracted attention in the hamlet OF
Edinburgh Pa, where he was born
August 2S, 1910. At the beginning OF
his active life he was a Methodist, but
for the last seven years he had been q
Presbyterian. He is survived by a
widow, Fannie V. Sankey; two sons,
|. Allen Sankey and Edward Sankey,
and two grandchildren.
