Probibly Ihe best collection of Moody nnecdotes was that published by Ihe La dles’ Home Journal some time ago. 1875, from which the following bright bits of wit, satire and repartee are culled: Hl* Faculty for llnising Money. As Is well known, Mr. Moody has a won derful faculty for getting money, whether it was a simple collection to meet some current expenses or some large subscrip tions with which to erect anew school building. Asked once as to the aecret of his success in this particular lino the great preacher replied, “I urge people to give until they feel It. and then to keep tn giving until they don't feel It.” “Temptation Point.” In the course of an address delivered one afternoon at Mourn Hermon, Mr. Moody referred to wooded elevation as ’Temp tation Point.” One of the trustees re marked ihat he had never heard the spot called by that name before. “Neither have I." the speaker replied. "Why did you hit upon such a name as that?'' came the inquiry. “Oh! ’ said Mr. Moody, “because I thought that some day someone might be tcmp’ed to erect a chapel for us on that point.” H s w sh has since been gratified, for a beautiful none chapel now adorns the lit tle hill. Knew V here to Ciet the Knots. Not long ago a man who claimed perfec tion went to Mr. Moody and commiserated I dm on his low level of Christian experi ence. Mr. Moody, In a ki ;d manner, asked his caler If he never sinned nor did any u rung. "No; I have not sinned for years, neither have I done anything lhat was wrong." was the ptompt reply. “\Vel>. I'm glad to know It,” said Mr. Moody, "but t cfore I am convinced X woul 1 like to ask your wife." Ready Answer for u lllgoled In quirer. A few years ago, Willie Mr. Moody was preaching in a New England city coneplc uouh for Its affiliation with the American Protective Association- a secret order that flourished Some year* ago, having for Its a. at cl P’trp If e antagonism to everything eu cu atrd to promote tile Interest* of the I oirnn C'H'lwdte Churih or any of Its sup. I or er*—he wo* naked when he was going to preach uvulcst the Catholics, ' Ju t a* soon at ail the Protestants are uatverted," was the evangelist's charac teristic reply Ills t recil. When Mr. M*ly was asked So conduct hi* first nfinston in tpyndon. in 1874. it was a comparatively new thing to hold union THE MOKNING NEWS: SUNDAY. DECEMBER 31. lS9a meltings, and he was asked to meet a committee of r in-st.re to explain his metho’s. Everything went smoothly until a minister of the Church of England ask ,ed Mr. Moody for his creed. Mr. Moody’s iep y was that his creed was already In prim. A number of the clergymen seized rencll and paper, asking where It could le found. "In the fifty-third chapter of Is aiah,” Mr. Moody answered. How He Silenced a .Man, On one occasion when Mr. Moody was addressing a crowd of roughs a man in the rear of the assembly kept shouting to the preacher, “ ’Old yer jaw, there!'’ For some minutes Mr. Moody paid no atten tion to these insults, but at length he deemed It necessary 4o call Ihe man to order, and on the repetition of the cry he calmly responded: “Don't forget that ex ample Is better than precept, my friend.” The desired effect wos Instantaneous. Could bleep at Will. By a mistake a man was admitted 40 Mr. Moody's room one afternoon when he returned, very weary, from a meeting. It did not take long to see that the visitor was a fanatic on some theological topic. He was entirely impervious to hints and so persistent as to be extremely annoy ing. yen Mr. Moody remained perfectly courteous. When at last there seemed to be no escape Mr. Moody a-sked permission of his caller to lie down while listening, as he was very tired. This Just suited the stranger, who now felt that he had his victim at his mercy. But his expression of exaltation soon changed to one of dis may, foe Mr. Moody's regular, deep breathing soon showed that he was evi dently invincible to the argument. Would hint Shoot Above the Mark, Once while in Boston Mr. Moody was accused by some people of lowering the pulpit because he advocated the churches seeking those who did not seek the churches. His reply was: “If lowering the pulpit maans bringing them to the people J would to god I could! If I wanted to hit Boston you don’t think I would mount my guns on Bunker Hill monument and fire into the air. do you?” Little Sermon on Gthtce. One day when Mr. Moody was giving a talk to 4he Northfield Seminary girls on card-playing, theater-going and dancing, one young lady made bold to ask him If he could not moderate his statements and admit that dancing among family friends was not only harmless, but somewhat de sirable, inasmuch as it tended to add grace to one’s figure. Mr. Moody heard the young woman through patiently and then replied: “My dear giri, I would a thousand times rather have you get more grace in your heart and less in your heels’" His Shrewd Way of Outwitting Bully. A few years ago, -when Mr. Moody was preaching in the slums, he was delayed In leaving the hall til! late in the everting. The exit was In a back street, and as he left the building he found a number of roughs wailing to annoy him. As he walk ed along he heard them say: “Here he comes!” and they prepared to jostle him from the sidewalk. Going straight up to the ringleader, Mr. Moody held out hie overcoat, and. with self-possession, that commanded respect, said: ••My friend, won't you just help me on with this overcoat? I am not quite so ac tive now as I was at you age, and some day, when you are as old as I am, I’** glad to do you the same favor." No bully was ever more completely taken back with surprise. He held the overcoat for the evangelist to get Into it, and then, thanking the young man for his aid, Mr. Moody went along unmolested. FLOWERS I* CHURCH. Effect of Their Beauty and Grace Upon the Congregation. From the Christian Endeavor World. We have all heard the story of the trav eler who was making a journey on foot through a wild regioh, and was asked how he determined at what houses safe to ask for a night’s lodging. “Oh," he said, "I always asked at the houses where there were flowers in the windows, and .1 never made a mistake.’’ He might have chosen nis church home in much the same way, and with as sure success, for the churches that make much use of flowers, and especially where the flowers, in their choice and arrangement, show evidence of the loving work of many hands and not merely of the perfunctory services of paid florists —these are quite certain to be homelike churches. In which Christianity is a matter of daily, heart felt living. The presence of flowers is a standing evidence before the eyes of the congrega tion that someone. or some Bet of people, have a lor e for God's house, and have consecrated some time and thoughtfulness to Its service. The knowledge of this is in itself an incentive to worship, quit© aside from the pure Influence of the flow ers themselves and their effect as tokens of God's wisdom and love and the beauty of His holiness. if no further reason Is needed for en gaging In the work of the flower commit tee. it may l>e found in the personal gains that come from the service to the com mittee-workers. There Is much that is ele vating and ennobling in the very handling of flowers, and the arrangement of them does muflh to cultivate artistic percep tions. There are many social features of the work which are very pleasant, and the taking of flotvers to the sick and the agel brings the committee a world of delight ful experiences. Altogether, this is a branch of our Christian Endeavor work that should not be neglected. There should be a Flower Committee in every society, and it should be nn active, enterprising one. It should carry out with consecrated persistence the good old ways of working, and always it-should be on the lookout for new things to do for the Kingdom of God. SYLVESTER AHEAD. \ Pretty Custom Observed in Berlin to Welcome In the Sew Year. From the Woman's Home Companion. It was with much pleasurable anticipa tion we awaited the approach of "Sylves ter Abend," as they call New Year’s eve In Germany. About 10 o'clock, supper be ing ended, we all adjourned to Ihe parlor, where they danced until almost midnight. Then refreshments were served. These consisted of queer little cukes made es pecially for the holiday season, apples, nuts and Berliner Pfankuchen, which are perfectly delicious. The latter look like latge brown doughnuts covered wi:h sugar; on opening them they are found to be Ailed with Jam. Our Christmas tree w is relighted, having been furn shed with new candles. The ringing of the bells an nounced the beginning of the New Year. Guns were flred. and from the ehuroh lofts bugles sounded. Later nil Ihe windows w.re flung open, and standing within them the people held up their glasses and called out "Prosit Ncujahr” to every one who |si seed by. People on the street called in 4o us: even the Drostiky coach men. as they drove by, called out "I’rosit Netilahr." Of all the pretty customs In Germany I thought tnts the prettiest. Not only to your friend* do you w sh a Happy N'i>w Year, but to all. At a window in the house < pps te stood n lady dressed In white; behind her ws* the tiriglrly lighted room, with its Christmas tree, Smiling and holding up her glass, she calitsl over to us, "Prosit Neujahr,” Never again did 1 *e© the lady of that house, but tl ileaaant r* • ct'ertUm of her a.wav* Un ger* In my mind.
