CELEBRATION OF
MOODY CENTENARY
Work of Noted Evangel-
list 100 Years Ago Spe-
officially Recalled

On February 5, 1887. Dwight
L. Moody, famed evangelist, was
born in the home of a brick ma
son at Mortified, Mass. The nine
children in the family were LEFT
fatherless and consequently there
was little chance for any one to
get an education in the family,
including young Dwight who be
gan work as a farm boy to help
his mother.
Moody was a shoe salesman at
IL years of age in a store in Bos-
ton. Two years later he was do
ing the same thing in Chicago.
Fortune seemed to smile upon
his efforts and he began TO amass
some wealth, but he used his
money in various ways to help
the poor and needy. One incident
in this connection is that he paid
for rented church pews which he
filled with those down and out.
the homeless and friendless.
Among the ways that his money
came was from the royalty on
hymn books sold, and also from
wealthy people who contributed
to his cause. With his money he
built schools, churches, Y. M. C.
AS, Bible Institutes. etc.
The memory of Dwight Moody
is specially recalled in The Ha-
gerstown Globe each week in the
Improved Uniform International
Sunday School Lesson, by Rev.
Harold L Lundquist, dean OF the
Moody Bible Institute, Of Chicago.

evangehstic meetings. Ira ID.
Sankey gospel singer, whose
songs are yet sung by many. This
made a happy combination for
successful work, in fact, who has
not heard Of the celebrated pair,
Sankey and Moody?
1t is said of Moody, who, by the
way, was never regularly ordained
to the ministry, that he seldom
preached the scary hell-fire idea,
but rather that of joy and love.
Mortified, Mass, today has two
fine Moody schools, one for boys
and the other for girls. 1t is said
that at least $4,000 students have
passed through these two schools,
among whom may be numbered
noted men in various important
walks of life, such as ministers,
missionaries. college presidents,
scientists, business men and
others.
Moody was a member of the
Congregationalist Church but was
non-sectarian in his views.
He is buried on a little knoll.
known as Round Top, described
as a beautiful spot, on the North
field Seminary Campus. At this
spot Moody used to like to medi-
tate. Here often at sunset stu
dents and visitors to Mortified
gather to sing and pray. On his
gravestone is this inscription:
He that doeth the viii of
God abideth forever"
The centenary Of Moody was
celebrated practically over the
world, as he preached in many
foreign countries, Canada and
America.

held under the direction of the
County Departments of Health in
cooperation with the Bureau of

Of the total number of children
examined, 1896 were white and
1883 colored; 1885 were under
one year old, 3,467 from 2 to 4,
and 6,488 were from to z. Those

DR.. ]. H. M. Knox, Jr., chief of
the Bureau of Child Hygiene esti-
mates that over 1000 families
were represented in the attend
ance and had the benefit of the
advice given as to the best ways
of keeping the children well. No
medical treatments were given.
Children in need of medical at
tention were referred to their
family physicians.
Over 900 conferences were held
during the year and community
centers in 476 places, covering
every section of the State, served
as the meeting place for large or
small groups of mothers and chill
dren with the doctors and public
health nurses.
Over 5000 of the children ex-
amined-3,039 according to the
report, or one out of every five

ly beautiful, but the color is so
well subordinated to story values
that it is literally forgotten after
the first reel or two. Conspicuous
exceptions are the shots of New
York from the air, which drew
gaSpS and applause from the
preview audience. The color
throughout was so consistently
in key that it enhanced the mar
rative even when least noticed,
which is probably the answer to
the color question.
The principal role, played with
bubbling abandon by Carole

supposed to be doomed to death

Elihu Root, Statesman
and LAWYER, Dies

FLIHU ROOT, one of Americas
~ most eminent lawyers and
statesmen, died in New York at the
age of ninety-two. Intensively ac-
tive all his life, he did not cease
his activities until he was attacked
by pneumonia two weeks before his
death. His passing was deplored by
the great men of the nation and
many of them would have attended
his funeral had the family not de-
cided that only private services
should be held in Clinton, N. Y, his
birthplace.
BY intellectual brilliancy Mr.. Root
became admittedly the leader of the
American bar, and he was actively
interested in many societies devot-
ed to the arts and sciences, peace
and education. During half GEN.
fury of public service he held many
high offices, and his greatest
achievements were in furthering ar
bitration of international disputes.
He was an organizer of the world
court and served on the permanent
court of arbitration at The Hague.
He was secretary of war under Nc
Kinley, secretary of state under
Theodore Roosevelt, and United
States senator from New York from
1909 to 1915.
