( f H was In Hoston , rome forty-two years
| ftsco , that Dvvlght L. Moody began the work
tvh.ch has since made his name n house-
I litldonl , not only In tills cojntry , but

In llio course of his remarkable career ns
An evangelist , Mr. Moolj 1ms nddiessed up-
uard of 10,000 meetings , and has traveled
hali' it million miles Ho has visited nearly
every country In the world , and has labored
among all the nngllsh speaking peoples ,
while lils writings have ben translated Into
German , Trench , Swedish , Danish , Nor-
\vcslan ami half a dorcn other languages.
Prab.iblj no leas than 10,000.000 people have
lUlcncd to his voice. Ho has made 100,000
converts for the churches , while the number
o ; these who have been helped by listening
to hli earnest words must be far greater.
This array of statistics Is Impressive
enough , but It Is Impossible to state the
extent of Mr , Moodj's work with mere
fig ires Hut there the work stands , some
of It visible In tbo form of churches anil
schools , more of It Invisible In the hearts
of converted men and women , and the world
recognizes It ns a mighty work , and respects
the man who has accomplished It.
The evangelist usually meets with ex
treme reticence all efforts to draw- him Into
conversation about himself , but I found
lilm In a retrospective mood a few days
Blneo and learned from his own lips many
Interesting things about his wonderful ca
reer.
HOW an BEGAN PRDACHING.
"It was In lloston , Mr. Moody , that your
work began , " I suggested. "How was It
that you came to begin It ? IMcl the deter
mine tlon como to you suddenly as conver
sion sometimes docs to a man ? "
"No : at all ' replied the evangelist I was
r. clerk In my uncle's store at the time , nnd
Jio Insisted on my attending church My re
ligious experience began ns a Sunday school
scholar I was 18 thi'ii. I had bad no par
ticular bent toward religious work. Like
most boys. I had not thought much about
dt But II nil I UK that religion was a good
thing for mvself , I made up my mind It
would bo good for some of the other fcl-
lo.vs , and I began to get them Into the
rr'.onl and prajer meetings. 1 wasn't much
good at talking , but I could bring JOUHK-
stcra of my own age In where others could
not get at them. 1 used to speak somo-
tiniEb. but my tongue didn't work very
w.Il un/1 / tbo best I could do was to blurl
out a few sentences and that was more
trying to mo at first than a hard day o
work In the store , but after a time I got
utcd to It.
"I lad no Idea of giving mjflclf entirely
to religious work then , or even afterward
wl'on ' 1 moved to Chicago. I slmplj wstitcd
to do what I could In the Sunday school and
the Clirl tlan association , which I hail
joined Hut the work piled up. 1 eiw how
inucli of It there was to do and how few
tl ere wore to do It. I gave up more and
ji.orcof m > time to It until llnally , at the
iciuest of some of my Christian association
friends. 1 dropped out of Iws'ncFS , where-
knew that I ehould tievcr bo missed , and he-
Ran this work , where T hoped that I could
do somegood. .
"Taat wasn't any great change. It w.io
tlic came Kind of work 1 had been doing be
fere only I gave all Instead of a part of m

J talked to them from a platform , juat a

- TUB GREAT HYMN BOOK.
"Speaking of singing brings us to your
own hymn book. How great has Its circula
tion .become now ? "
"I don't Know. I don't bother my head
v.lib such figure * . I think It's somewhere
up around the million mark. It's a funny
thl ] g n"bout that book. Wo got It up vvtille
wo were In England , because we wanted
something of the kind to use In our meetings.
Hut nobody wanted to publish It , so In the
end I had to brlog It out on my own book.
At that time I'd have been glad to give It to
anybody who would print It and give me
what copies I wanted to use. Hut since then
It has made a good deal or money. "
It may bo Mid In passing that the book
ban trade more than a "good deal" of money.
It Is In fact one of the best paying literary
prci.icrtles In the world and has n larger
circulation than any other publication except
the bible. Hut Mr. Moody has never touched
a cent of the pronto. They have all gone to
charity In one form or another and the book
pow * helps to support Mr. Moody's great
school at Northfleld.
"What wis the largest meeting jou ever
addlesse'l , Mr. Moody. "
"Tho meeting In Agricultural hall , Lon
don , In 187C , was , 1 think , the largest Indo -
do r nesembUge. I have spoken to open-
nlr meetings when there were a good many
mnro present. When 1 began my English
tour In London there were only about 300
people at the Ilist meeting , but when wo
returned , after our work In other parts of
the kingdom , the gieat hall was crowded to
overflowing. It was estimated that over
1G.OOO persona were present. I have scldon
had an audience that responded more readll ;
to my appeal. "
A UBMAHKADLB CONVERSION.
"What was your most lemarkable coir
vera'on ? "
"It was at that same meeting , I think. II
was that of an English lacing man named
Studd. Ho was a man devoted to the race
tiuck and alt that It Implies. Ho was a
third owner of the Epsom races and a well
known character In sporting circles. He
came to the meeting out of curiosity , but
his heart was changed before It closed. He
became a Chrlbtlan , gave up bin sporting
connections , sold his horses and all Ills rac-
IriU Interests nnd thereafter lived an exem
plary Chrhtlin life. Ho had several sons ,
all of whom are earnest Chilatlan woikcrs.
This was a roinarkablo case , but there may
have been others to equal It , though the
change does not stand out In such stiong
contrast "
"Do you ever pick one man out of an
nudlcnco and preach to him ? "
"Sometimes I see a man or a woman who
Is plainly having a struggle , who has been
touched , but not qulto convinced. Then
try to say something that will appeal dl
rcctly to tbojo pcrbonu. Any man who I
accustomed to speaking from a platform
can toll whether ho Is carrying his nudleuc
with him or not. Sometimes I have unex
pccted success In that way and sometime
there Is discouraging coldncos. Hut I be
Ilovo that there Is nlwajs a way to a man'
hcRrt If only yon can llnd It "
"Do you prepare your talks ? "
"Well , I do and I don't. I am nlwny
making notcw and clippings and these
keep In envelopes. Here Is one on one o
Christ's parables" ( pulling a bulky packag
from bis pocket ) . "Whenever I want to ge
up n sermon I go to one of these envelope
and Jot down n number of points on ft little
tlo slip , which I take on the platform will
me. Hut I don't alwajs follow thus
closely. "
"Who la your favorite biblical clmrac
ler ? "
"St. Paul. Ho was , I think , the model fo
all Christian workers fearlcsa , single
heaited , the most heroic figure In all his
tory. "
"Vou know , Mr. Moody , that there Is noth
Ing that Interests young men so much as th
answer to the question 'How to succeed
from one who lisa himself made a miccef
In life. Can you give me the recipe for nuc
cess for > oung nun going Uito the minis
try ? "
"Singleness of purpose , wholo-heartei
work , concentration. There Is no bettc
motto for a man to bold up before hlmsol
than that one line of the blblo which runs
'This one thing I do. ' And then be wfiid

tloned ? "
DOESN'T UNDERSTAND HIS POWER.
For once tbo great evangelist woa
stumped. Moody cannot answer that qucs
tlon In so many words. There Is nobody
who Is leva able to understand the reason
of his power over men than he As he once
told Prof. Drummcad , he- honestly believes
that there are 10,000 bi'rmons preached every
week by unknown men , ID obscure- towns ,
that are better than an > tilling ho can do.
Hut the facts remain. Moody began a poor ,
untutored cltrk , with no grace of macncr or
eloquence .of speech. Others who started
out with far greater advantages are still
iloddlcg along as they began , while Ills In-
luenco ha.i swept over the world like a
great wave , carrjlng conviction to tens of
houcands. What lo It that has made Moody
bo big that his name needs no handle to
deut'fy ' him ?
The aujwer though It Is not his may be
ound In the fact that ho Is a man overllow-
DK with vital ami Indomitable power. Ho
belongs to the type of men who have made
\merlca a great Imluatrlal and material em-
) lro the great captains of Industry , tbo
bulldcm of our railroads and our cities ; In
t word , our great constructive men of ac-

NATOR AT WORK
Clerk of tha British House of Lords
Draws Some Contrasts.
BUSINESS ACTIVITY OF THE LORDS
Ciirlniin Ceremonies of

mill a Half Cotifliiittctl nt
a
Mr. Alexander MacDonnctl , clerk of the
Hoiifio of Lords , London , has Just returned
homo after a visit of several necks to this
country. In the course of bis trly Mr. Mac-
Donncll visited Washington and was thus
enabled to make a comparison between the
methods of our own aristocratic senate and
the auguct body with which he U officially
connected ,
"How do the methods of c6nductlng busi
ness In the House of Lords compare with
those ot the American senate ? " ho was
asked.
"Well , In reality , " said the clerk to tbo
British peers , "there Isn't as much difference
as you would Imagine. It doubtless Xvlll sur
prise most Americans , as 1 know Itwould
most Englishmen , to know that the two
houses got through their work In the satno
way to a largo extent.
"I will confess that I wes a llttlo disap
pointed In your senate. I expected to find
lire , eloquence , animated debate , and I didn't
get It. Perhaps It was because there was no
great qucatlcei on for consideration at the
time ot my visit. An I saw it , tbo chamber
was certainly very quiet end there was no
lack ot dignity and decorum In Its conduct.
I did not ace any drawn revolvers , bowlo
knives or list flgbts surii as wo have some
times heard about In England. Perhaps sonic
of those were myths.
"I have admitted that I didn't find the

"Of coursei the peers have certain olllce
and certain formal functions which arc In

ween these two groups are the clerk o
Parliament nnd the clerk of the crown
The latter holds in his hand a list of bills

other times fie peers sit vnerevcr Is mosl

still occupy a particular eectlon , as thev
have from time Immemorial.
HOW THE PEERS DO BUSINESS.
"There are certain peculiarities In the
manner of conducting debate In the House
of Lords not found In most legislative cham
bers. For Instance a member on rlblng In
speak doea not address the chair , but In-
vnrlablj beg n ' .My lords. ' Thus , If two
members w'bb ' to speak at the same time ,
the lord chancellor does not dec'do which
shall have the Moor One gives way of his
own accord , or elbe some other member calls
out vvhlch shall continue. In a bojy like
the commons or younr own congresa this
arrangement might not work well , but among
the peers there Is never any difficulty
ever It.
'Unotbcr peculiarity of the lords Is that
the sittings ore very brief compared with
thcso of othe-r houeeB. The peers do ot
: onveno till \ 16 In the afternoon and rise
n time for dinner at C This Is because the
ords have a small amount of business to
: onsidtr compared with tbo vast bulk that
ias cs through the hands of tbo Commons.
"When the lord chancellor himself wishes
o speak ho steps as'de from his accua-
omed place during hi * address. There Is a
urlous reason for this. It Is that the wool-
ack Is technically conaldert-d as outside the
Icuso of Lords. It hau happened on one or
wo occasions that It has been occupied by
no who was not a peer "
ABOUT "THE WOOLSACK. "
"What IB the woolsack ? "
"The- woolsack Is the name given to the
ord chancellor's seat. It Is a crimson
ushlon , with no Eido or back support , and
nt especially comfortable to sit upon , The

tbo week when there Is business for It tc
consider. The lord chancellor does not sll
on the woolsack on these occasions , except
when he delivers judgment , when he re
sumes -that place. "
PD.3US CAN TALK LIKE SENATOI13.
"Do the jeers have any rule for closing
debate , or are they , like our own senators
nt Washington , allowed to talk as long as
they please' : "
"Thero is nothing to prevent a. peer from

the peers usually slwvl a clear majority ont

before them , nnd there Is little Inducement
to the members to talk for the mere pur-
posei of obstruction. "
"Then you do not consider the House ol
Lords an nntlquatel Institution ? "
"Not at all , unless by antiquated yon
mean old In point of jears. The prevailing
atmosphere of the chamber Is one of busi
ness , and It does the work that comes to
It with reasonable ) dispatch and , as most of
those acquainted with it will agiee , with

that the housci of peers Is an assemblage o
