MR. MOODY’S STORY.
BOW HE WAS SNATCHED I KON THE
JAWS OF MEATH.
The return of Mr. I>. L. Moisly to hl*
home mid schools ut Northfield, after one
of his long cvungclistic campaigns, is
always an event of interest ia North
field. His latest return was tin ovation
tor he < nine ns one snatched from t in
jaws of death, after mi absence of four
teen months in Europe and the Orient.
Mr. .Moody, nccompiinicd by his eldest,
non. with Major General 11, O. Howard i
and oilier friends, sailed from England I
Nov. 22 on the steamer Spree, with seven I
hundred piissoiigers. When three days
out. thh Spree broke her ah.'ift, tearing a I
bile in the vessel’s side, which rapidly
tilled with water nod began to sink. She ,
seemed to be kept, afloat by ».apeem! i
Providence, aa she drifted h.-IJ)IRS3IJ' a
thousand miles from lutid, When the
stenmor Huron, guided by her signals
of distress Ihul Hamed nil through the
nights, found the helpless vessel and
lowed her into the jsirt of Qneensl evu.
From thence, by the Cunnrdcr Etruria.
• ir. Moody and his company sailed Hee. i
I, landed In New York on fedurd.iy, ■
Dec. 111. and sfrnigtwny cninfftb North-!
field. New :of his coming bad proceed d
him. nod when his train readied Mt.
Hermon station near 111 o'clock nt night,
about three hundred young men, students
.•'lid teachers of the Moody school there,
(.warm'd around and through tlio train
with torches, music and cheers to wel
come their friend At the next station, |
n.s ho stepped from the train with his
wife and son, he dropped into the heart
of another company of friends, neigh
bors and stiidients, who had come in
conveyances from various places to speak
their welcome. From thence, on the wny
homo in his carriage, ho could see, be
yond the <’onnectieut river all the semi
nary buildings and many private dwell
ings blazing with n gl id illumination -
innumernble “lights in the windows' for
the home-coming friend.
By the roadside stood under the light
of n lilted torch the ladies of the North
field training school, cheering, singing
rind waving white handkerchiefs ns the
Moody carriages passed. Near his own
home Mr. Moody found the street block
aded by a solid plinliiux of throe or four ,
hundred young Indies of the seminary, I
with teachers mid friends, who kept the
■whole procession nt but, until they had
given ii joyful welcome with beautiful
song. Though near the midnight hour, I
noticed that instead of driving to his own
door. Mr. Moody’s carriage passed up
.•mother street to the home of his blessed
mother, now marly ninety years old.
She must not waif 11 moment, longer to seo
th" fine of her boy!
(In Sunday morning, following the night
of his arrival at Northfield, Mr. Moody
told the story of the disaster and rescue
of the Spree, the church being crowded
in anticipation of his coming. He said
he would do on this .occasion what, he
bud never done before -make his own ex
periences mid observations t subject of
discourse. Ho thought it migUt servo a
better purpose than a si rinon just then,
and it would save him from being called
upon to tell the story to each neighbor
and friend individually. The story was
told with suppressed emotion and with a
glow of devout gratitude to God, making
impression never to he forgotten.
“My lust day in London,' 1 said he, “was
a pleasant one. u day of promise it might
have been called, for the sun shone out
brightly ill’ll r week: of those dark, foggy
days so common io London. A votnpuiiy
of friends gntli' i -I nt the station to seo
me off, and Isu sted that they sing my
favorite song, "Then . I.all my heart keep
singing," but they sai.l they did not feel
like' singing that just then! I was the
only one in the little group who seemed
to feel like singing. I .oiddn'i sing with
my voice, but deep down in my heart 1
sang, for I was going home, home to meet
my loved ones.

ing my -elf on iny .good frotune, and feel
ing very grateful to God. I considered
myself a very fortunate man, for iu all
my extensive trawls by laud and sea
I had never been in any accidents of n
serious nature. 1 thought, of how my
wife and children had escaped tbe,oliol
erti, and the quarantine at New York.
The steamer that .-ailed before theirs,
and the one that followed after, both had
cholera aboard and wore detained in
quarantine, while the one that bore my
loved ones, being a swifter sailor, reach
ed New York and landed her passengers
before either of the other two had ar
rive!.
“tvliile engaged with these grateful
thoughts 1 was startled by a terrible crush
and shock as if the vessel bad been driven
on a rock. I did not at. first fi el itme.li

much about, it. Hut my son jumped from

cabin passengers return.,l to their berths. '
only to bo driven out i.;.i : n 1 y the inrush-1

them.
“The officers and crew di.l all they ;
could to save the vessel. But it was .soon i
found tJint ihe pumps wore useless, fqr I
the water poured into the ship too rap
idly to lie controlled. There was iiotlimg
more in the power of man tn do. We
were utterly, absolutely helpless. We
could only stand still on the poor, drifting
.sinking ship, and look into our watery
graves. At this time, unknown to' the
passengers. the ollieers were making
) reparations for the last, resort. The life
bouts were all put in readiness, provisions
prepared, life-preservers in hand, the offi
cers armed with revolvers to enforce their
orders, and the question was evidently
Lotus debati'd in their minds whether to
launch the boats at once, or wait. The
wit was so heavy that the bonis could
hardly have lived in it. Two ( f pas
sengers had loaded revolvers ready to
blow out their hr.tills if the vessel; should
jr > down, preferring death by‘-l>iiJh'ts to
death by drowning.''
At noon the captain told us he thought

drift in the way of a ship by 3 o'clock
that. Saturday afternoon, but the night
< ; ;ed upon us without sign of a sail.

in our lives. .Seven hundred men, women
and children waiting for the doom that
■was settling upon us. No one dared to
Bleep. NVe were all together in the sa
loon of the first cabin —Jews. Protest
ants. Catholics ami skeptics—although 1
doubt if nt that time there were many
skeptics among us. The agony aud sus
pense were too great for words. With
blanched fiaces and trembling, hearts
the passengers looked at each other, as
jf trying W read what uo on edared
to speak. "Rockets flamed into the sky,
but there wns answer. We were drift
ing out of the track of the great steam
ers. Every hour seemed to increase the
danger of our situation.
"Sunday moriiiug dawned, without
help or hope. Ip to that time no sug
gestion of religion* services had been
made. To have done that would almost
certainly have produced a panic, hi
the awful .suspense aud dread that pre
v tiled, n word about religion would have
suggested the most terrible things to the
poor souls. It was nueetwary to divert
their minds, if possible, or they would
break under the strain. But ns that
second night same on, we held a prayer
iii' < ting, with the concurrence of the.
captain. Everybody attended, and •
think everybody prayed, skeptics and all.
Sincly the cries of the dear little child
ren were heard in heaven. With otia
arm clasping a pillar to steady myself
on the reeling vessel, I tried to read the
nit ety-first Psalm, and we prayed that
God would still the raging of the sea
mid bring us to our desired haven. It
was u new jisahn to me from that hour.
The eleventh verse toueheil me very
deeply. It wns like n voice of divine.
•■isMuranco, and it seemed a very real
thing, ns I read: ‘He shall give his an
gels charge over thee to keep thee in all |
thy ways.’ Surely ho did it! 1 road also
from the one hundred and seventh Psalm,
verses 20 to 31. One lady thought those,
words must have been written for the
oecnsion, and iiftcrwards asked to sei-,
the book for herself.
"I was passing through ti new ex
perience. I had thought myself superior
to the fear of death. I had often preach
ed on the subject and urged < .hristinns
to realize this victory of faith. During
our civil war I hud been under fire with
out. fear. I was in Chicago during the
great cholera epidemic and went around
with the doctors, visiting the sick and
dying. M'here they could go to look
after the bodies of men. I said I could
go to loo); after their souls. I remember
a case of small-pox, where the flesh
had literally dropped from the backbone,
yet I went to the bedside of that poor
sufferer again and again with Bible and
prayer for Jesus’ sake. Ju all this I
had no fear of death.
"But on the sinking ship it wns differ
ent. There was no cloud between my
son! and my Saviour. I knew my sins
hud been put awny. ami that if 1 died
there it would bo only to wake up hi
heav'en. That wns all settled long ago.
But. tut my thoughts wont, out to my
loved ones nt home—my wife and chil
dren. anxiounly awaiting my coming'---
my friends on both sides of the sea—the
schools and all the interests so dear to
me —and realized that perhaps the next
hour would separate me forever from nil
those, so far as this world was concerned,
I confess it almost broke me down. Jt
was the darkest hour of toy life. J
could not endure it. I must have re
lief, and relief camo in prayer. God
heard nty cry and enabled me to say
from the depth of my soul: “Thy will
be done.” It was all settled. Sweet
jH-iice came to my heart. Let. it be North
hold or heaven! It mado no difference
now! I went to bed and almost imme
diately fell asleep, and never slept more
soundly in all my life. Out of the depths
I cried unto the Lord, and ho hoard me
aud delivered me from all my tears. I
can no more doubt that God gave answer
to my prayer for relief, than I can doubt
my own existence.
“About three o’clock at night T was
aroused from my sound sleep by the
voice of my son. ‘Come on deck father'
ho said. I followed him, and he pointed
to a far-off light rising and sinking on
the sen. It was a messenger of deliver
ance to uk It proved to be the light of
tho steamer Lake Huron, whose look
out had seen our fiumiug signals of dis
tress, and supposed it was a vessel in
flames. Oh, tho joy of that moment
when those seven hundred despairing
passengers beheld the approaching ship!
Who can ever forget it!
“But n'b'lL the question is, can this
small the helpless Spree a
thousand n les%to Queenstown? Every
movement was Ywatched with intensest
anxiety ami prayVr. It was a I rave and

vice in the Imalior of Queenstoxvn—just
one week ago‘today, as 1 stand here
among the friends and neighbors I love
so well. The resetting ship that, God sent,
to us in our distress, had just sufficient
power to tow our vessel, and just enough
coal to take her into port! There was
nothing to spare! Less would have been
insufficient. Her captain also is it man
of prayer, and besought God's help
to enable them to accomplish their dan
gerous and difficult, task. God answered
the united prayers of the distressed voy
agers and brought them to their desired
haven.
"Tho nervous strain of those eight
days and nights of suspense was some
thing fearful. It was more than any
o.ic could long endure without help. Tho
minds of several passengers gave way
under the strain, and they Lad to be put
under restraint. A young Austrian who
had left his betrothed in Vienna, leapeu
overboard in despair, and was drowneil
before our eyes in spite of all we could
Jo. It was a most, pathetic sight to see
a young mother, with two beautiful chil
dren, sitting in dumb anguish during tbs
first, forty-eight hours, never taking her
; •yes off the little ones, and if the ship
i had gone dowt . I have no doubt she
I would have gathered them to her bosom
I and gone down with them in her arms.
1 There was a Russian .low who had ta
i ken passage without the knowledge ot
' his relatives at home. It was pitiful to
seo his distress, as he confessed his sin.
' heal, his breast, and denounced himself
las the Jonah of the company. Kneeling
I upon the deck, with trars streaming
j down his checks, he cried to Jehovah
• not to visit the punishment of bis sin
j upon all those unfortunate people."
| In the. course of bis narrative Mr.
' Moody related a number of interesting
incidents t > show how they had to try
to divert the overstrained minds of the
people from tho one brooding thought
that, oppressed them. Ho said he told
them .ibont all the stories he know during
those long days and nights, and. strange
as it may seem, laughter ami merriment
were often heard around his table. It was
.1 hard thing to do. but one must lenrn
to boar the burdens of others on such oc
casions. One lady, to whom Mr. Moody
used to read I lie scriptures, alway s wan
ted to have something about I'anl’s ship-
I wreck, aud. however, he might divert her
mind for awhile, she always swung back
again to the shipwreck.
At. tlte conclusion of his thrilling story,
which I have but partially ami very iiii

two Psalms referred to. with new and

DICK IS DEAD.
The Only Hunting Turkey in the Whole
Country.
Bick is dead.
Ho was buried at Minnewauga springs
a few days ago with' appropriate cere
monies.
Dick was well known throughout the
country as “the huqting turkey,” and |
sketchi's have been published from time
to time concerning him which have b en
copied extensively.
Ho wns probably the most famous fowl
in the country, and Uo died of old age,
honored by all who knew him.
Dick was the property of Maj. Willis,
at one time proprietor of the Rut sei
House in this city, and now tho owner
of Che Minnewauga springs property, und
at one time the Major refused for
Di<;k.
The turkey had been trained to hunt
for wild turkeys and was as anxious for
Ute sport ns is n first-cluss pointer.
He would follow the hunters to tho
woods, and settling himself down uti'-r
a cry of defiance. If there was a wild
turkey gobbler anywhere in thut vicinity
he would come up bristling for a fight,
when Dick would run towards the hun
ters.
Sportsmen would come for miles in or
der to enjoy tho fun of hunting wild tur
key with the tame one, and it was very
seldom that they returned iinsticeessfi:!.
With his dentil Ims passed away the on
ly hunting turkey in this section, and
probably the only one in the country,
and he will be greatly missed by the hun
ters in Bradley and Polk counties. —

IRON INDUSTRY.
How It Han Recently Grown In the South
ern Staten.
Chattanooga, Tenn., Jan. s.—The
Tradesman, in its annual for 1893, re
ferring to the production of iron in the
south, says that there are now 122 fur
naces, of which 55 arc iu blast aud 07
out of blast. Os the furnaces iu bloat
44 are coke aud 11 charcoal. The pro
duction of southern iron has steadily
increased from 35.8,894 tons in 1881,
when the total for the T'uited States
was 4,205,414 tons, to a totul for 1891
of 1.773,230 tons, the entire production
for the year for the whole country being
10,820,1100. The product for 1892 in
the eight iron producing states of the
south, the Tradesman estimates at 1,-
9G5.455 tons. Alabama was the largest
producer among the southern states in
1892, having an estimated total of 1.-
034.407 tons. Virginia is credited with
355,900 tons and Tennessee with 291.310
tons. The cost of production in the south
ern states is shown to be $10.92 per ton
based on tho figures furnished by 24
furnaces, producing (147,728 tons. The
cost of production is given by 26 northern
furnaces which produced 544,377 tons
was $14.10 per ton. The lowest cost
price per ton reported by any southern
furnace was $8.55 and the highest $12.50
The lowest price reported by northern
furnaces was sl2 aud the highest S2O.
The Tradesman says that the total week
ly capacity of the southern furnaces
is 49,685 tons, and that the present week
ly output is 31,160 tons, and adds that
tho last two years have been fairly re
presentative years in which the iron in
dustry has been on no boom, but carried
on systematically and practically.
