MB. MOODY'S MANAGER.
Fe Talk j Pleasantly About tho Char
aeteiistlc-s of the Great Revivalist.
r'rotn the Louisville < I nicit-y-JouvUiil.
Mr. Tin-mus K. Cree. of Now York, man
ager nml assistant of Itov. D. L. Moody, is
iu tho city, ai ranging for the coining of the
great evangelist. Mr. Cree, who is the
guest of Mr. John B. McFerrati, was
seen last evening by a reporter, and talked
pleasantly of Mr. Moody and his work. Mr.
tree has been associated with Mr. Moody
in his labors for the past reu years, assist
ing at his principal revival meetings at
Philadelphia, Chicago, and elsewhere, as
manager and aiding in the inquiry-room.
“Mr. Moody is now holding a very suc
cessful meeting at Pittsburg,” said Mr.
Cree, “and will remain there until the holi
days. Thence he will go to Northfield,
Mass., his home, and spend the holiday sea
son with his family. He will reach Louis
ville about Jan. 1, and will remain here
a month, as at present arranged. We are
anticipating a very successful meeting here.
Mr. Moody considers Louisville and Balti
more among the most moral of the larger
cities. He was here for two or three days
about three years ago attending a Christian
convention, "but did no evangelistic work.
“Mr. Moody,” continued Mr. Cree, “is in
fine health and condition. He is seldom, if
ever, sick, and during all of his twenty-five
years of religious work I don’t think he hus
missed three engagements on account of
stckne6s. He is a very large man, weighing
about 350 pounds, and has powerful lungs
and a splendid voice. He is not susceptible
to cold, and rarely suffers from hoarseness
or huskiness of voice. However large the
building, no difficulty is exfierienced in hear
ing him even in the rear seats.
WHERE HIS GREATNESS LIES.
“Mr, Moody’s great strength ns a Chris
tian worker lies in his knowledge of the
Bible, his earnestness, his sincerity, his sim
plicity and his groat sympathetic nature.
His remarkable faculty of aptly illustrating
by incidents is also one of his great ele
ments of strength. These incidents are
mostly of his own experience, and are most
effectively narrated. When he opens work
in anew field, the first audience, it can be
plainly seen, gathers mainly to judge the
man. After the first one or two meetings,
criticism of his motives and methods is laid
aside, and admiration of and devotion to
the man take possession of those who
gather to listen to liis earnest but simple
words.
1 ‘He sways vast bodies of people as no mod
ern evangelist ever has. and his sympathy
with his hearers is so close and so warm
that people are drawn instinctively to him.
When he is pleading with the people, and re
lates a pathetic incident by way of illustra
tion, thousands of heads are bowed in silent
weeping.
A STYLE NOT TO BE DESCRIBED.
“No one has ever yet been able to de
scribe accurately Mr. Moody, his mode of
work, and the nature of his sermons. He
never writes a sermon. I have known him
to go upon the platform with his discourse
arranged in his mind, and then deliver an
entirely different sermon because he found a
different audience than that he was expect
ing to address. He is often wonderfully elo
quent, but he employs only the simplest
language, and deals m no stilted rhetoric or
flowery figures of speech. His addresses are
remarkable, from the fact that they are
alike suited to all classes. I have seen upon
the platform with him the President of the
United States, Cabinet Ministers, United
States Senators, Congressmen, college
Presidents and tho most distinguished doc
tors ot divinity, and they were as visibly
impressed with his power as were the hum
blest hod-carrier and coal-heaver in the au
dience.
HIR RECEPTION IN ENGLALD.
“In England Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Bright
and other such leading men attended his
meetings, and his sermons were apparently
as enjoyable to them as to the masses in the
audience. Men and women, young and
old, rich and poor, sit side by side at his
meetings, and his converts are from all
classes and all walks of life.
“Mr. Moody has addressed 30,000 people
at a time. At Philadelphia, where his hall
seated about 14,000, thousands were turned
away at each meeting. The doors were
opened at intervals, that those who wished
to do so might leave, and very few of the
vast audiences ever stirred. Supreme
ouie t always reigns and the interest never
flags.
“Mr. Moody always confines his services
to one hour's duration, and his sermons are
usually about thirty minutes long. Yet
upon special occasions I have known him to
preach for two and even three honre, and
the people were always glad to listen. On
Sunday he usually holds three and some
times five services, and upon the week days
two services, exeeut upon Saturday, when
he holds none. W'e always have choirs of
800 or 400 voices, which are trained in ad
vance. A gentleman will shortly reach
Louisville for the purpose of organizing and
training such a choir in advance of Mr.
Moody's coming. We also wish to secure
the services of about 100 young men to act
as ushers. Mr. Moody has, or late years,
engaged in short revival meetings, but he
will remain in Louisville lougor than is his
custom, ou account of the extensive prepa
rations that have been made.”
HIS OLD PARTNER.
“What has become of Mr. Sankey, Mr.
Moody’s former co-laborer;” was asked.
“He is now In Brooklyn, his home, and is
busy with the preparat ion of anew hymn
book. Ho is still connected, in a degree,
with Mr. Moody’s work, but do considera
ble evangelistic work himself, and has been
very successful."
Mr. Moody is in his 51sv year, and has
been engaged in evangelistic work twenty
five years. He is married and has three
children. He was born at Northfield, Mass.,
and was converted at Boston. He removed
to Chicago, and engaged, in early life, in
the shoe business. He soon after engaged in
religious work under the Young Men’s
Christian Association, and rapidly
developed into a powerful evangelist. He
first visited England about ten years ago,
and met with great success in the face of
violent opposition. Upon his return to this
country, invitations from all the leading
cities poured in upon him, and the subse
quent success of his work has I teen uninter
rupted and his history is well known. He
again visited England three years ago.
DONATION3 FOR SCHOOLS AND CHRISTIAN
WORK.
Mr. Moody has donated a gitent deal of
money to the founding of schools and other
Christian work. He has devoted all the
royalty from the sale of his hymn-book,
amounting to over #400,000, to such pur
poses. Ho has founded at Mount Herman,
Mass., a school for young men, with about
300 attendants from all parts of the world,
many of the students being prepared for
mission work. Ho has also established at
Northfield. Mass., a large school for young
women, who are being prepared for service
as missionaries, teachers and Christian
workers. The buildings of the two schools
cost over $500,000. They are sustained
largely by donations and money raised by
Mr. Moody.
After the conclusion of the meeting hero
Mr. Moody will go to the Pacific coast to
hold similar meetings.
“Blood Will Tell."
Yes, the old adage is right, but if the
liver is disordered and the blood becomes
thereby corrupted, the bad “blood will tell”
in diseases of the skin and throat, in tumors
and ulcere, and in tubercles in the lungs
(first stages of consumption) even although
the subject be descended in a straight line
from Richard Coeur de Lion, or the noblest
Roman of them all. For setting the liver
in order no other medicine in the world
equals Dr. Pierce’s "Golden Medical Discov
ery." Try it, and your "‘blood will tell” the
story of its wonderful effloacy.

JOVIAL TEXAS COWBOYS.
How They Filled the Car With Lite on
Their Way to the Fair.
Texas (Cor.) of the Ketc Orleans Picayune.
There was a noisy sort of a to-do in the
ear as we entered it. Our baskets and satch
els and biuidles were seized and deposited
in handy places: open windows were pulled
down: some coal was shoveled into the
already red-hot stove; a fat man was un
ceremoniously hustled out of his place
by the fire, and the seat brushed off, and
a chorus of voices demanded to know
what more could be done to make us com
fortable.
1 sank upon the seat and gazed bewildered
into the ring of faces gathered about me.
They were fresh, boyish faces, frank and
pleasant-looking, but I had never seen one
of them before. I gradually came to undei -
stand that this crowd of cowboys, on their
way to the Dallas fair, were simply trying
to be kind to a forlorn, cold, wet, lone wom
an and a tired child.
There were eight or ten of them. They
wore enormous watcbchains freighted with
dangling charms; their wide hats were pro
fusely embroidered with silver cord: tneir
pockets were stuffed with silver dollars
which they were eager to spend. They
laughed at everything and everybody, and
most of all at themselves and their own not
always highly polished jokes. They chaffed
the “train butcher,” ahd were eminently
tickled over his mildly remonstrant replies;
they pounced upon "The Story of a Cow
boy” in his collection of books and read
portions of it aloud with mighty guffaws
of delight. When tha agent of a new
fangled washing machine came around
handing about his circulars, they grinned
knowingly, and one of them observed that
he knowed of a wasliin’ machine out in
Haskell county that was eighteen year old
and gittin’ better every year. “Her name
is Lizzie Marts,” he added, solemnly, wink
ing with one eye at the washing-machine
man and at me with the other. And then
they all slapped their kuees and roared
again.
I tried to be stiff and dignified with the
youngsters; but, dear me, the sunniness of
them would have melted an iceberg, and
long before it was time to open the lunch
basket, stuffed to the brim by Light-in-the-
Heart’s careful hands, I was hobnobbing
gaily with them and had promised to make
the round of their ranches next summer;
I had half-way agreed to accept a pair of
ponies out of a “bunch” in the freight car
going to the fair; had heard how one home
sick boy sometimes cried over his mother's
letters and how another “wished he hadn’t
been away from home and left Dad the
bag to hold.” Moreover I knew ail
about Lizzie Maria, even to the color of her
hair!
I left them at Waco; they escorted us out,
bag and baggage, and rushed back to throw
up the car window and halloo a noisy good
by as the train moved away from the dark
and wet piatform.
“Don't forget them papers you promised
me.”
“I’ll have you a daisy team broke in by
next summer, and don’t yoa forget it!”
“Be sure and come now.”
“Bring Pearl!”
“And Polly Cologne!’’
God’s blessings go with you wherever you
may go, my bonny lads! May your horses
never fall lame! May your cattle never
stampede! May there be always a bit of
bacon to your" frying-pans anil coffee to
your coffeepot! May the love-lit eyes of
your washing-machines never grow dim
and their brown hands never forget their
cunning.

Messrs. Checkering if- Sons;
Gentlemen —About; two years ago I had
occasion to use one of your 'Concert Grand
Pianos. At the time I was so much ini
pressed with its general excellence that I
have continued using your pianos both for
my concerts and for my own private use
since.
This has been done with the greatest satis
faction to myself, and I can truly say that
my decision has been justified by the re
sults.
Your pianos possess in a superlative degree
all the excellence required in a first-class
piano. While retaining the wonderful sing
ing quality for which the Chickering Piano
has always been so justly celebrated, and
has held the highest position in the art in
dustries, you have gained the maximum of
power, still retaining the even balance of
the scale throughout ail the registers.
These qualities combined with the perfec
tion of the action and general mechanism
have placed your pianos, in my estimation,
at the head of the pianos of the day. and
enables me to say with enthusiasm that I
prefer them to any other make.
