MOODY AND SANKEY. STORY OF toOW MOODY DISCOVERED THE MAN TO HELP HIM. It Wns fit Mrtitlnj In Inillsnaptills That the Voire of thn (Irrnt Rlnur Wss Flnit Beard by the fttlrrlng Kvana;ollr,t-Their First Work. It vrnn nt rndlnnnpnlls in 1S70 thnt those two men firnt made each other's Acquaintance. Mr. Moody wm alrcndy displaying thnt real in evangelistic work which subsequently wado him famous, though then hit efforts nnd his reputa tion were confined largely to Chicago. Mr. Sankey's home was in Newcnstlo, Pa., where lie was then serving as an in ternal revenne officer. His father was a bnnker and active in politics and held under Lincoln's appointment the impor tant position of collector of inland rev enue for four large counties in western Pennsylvania. Young Sankey was then Christian, having been converted a number of years before during a Metho dist revival, and his talent of song had already begun to be used for his Master. Coming to Indianapolis to attend as a delegate from Newcastle the national convention of the Young Men's Christian association, Mr. Bankey attended one morning a 6 o'clock prayer meeting, held in the basement of the First Baptist church, led by Mr. Moody. The singing dragged, and Mr. Sankey, at the sugges tion of a minister who was seated beside him, started up the familiar hymn, "There is a fountain filled with blood." It went well and was followed by other songs equally successful, and Mr. Moody became so interested that he looked about to see whence tho new impetus in singing came. After the meeting closed, with characteristic quickness of deci sion, Mr. Moody, hardly waiting for an introduction, said to Mr. Sankey: "You're the man 1 have been looking for for the last eight years. Come ami lunch with me." The invitation win accepted, and later in the day the two men got together, and the subject of a future combination of forces was talked over in downright earnest. Mr, Moody pressed npon Mr Sankey the duty of at once joining him in Chicago, but in Sankey's mind there were some prac tical objections arising from his busi ness and family connections. "I nm a government officer," he said to Mr. Moody, "and may find it difficult to ge t released." "There Is a better govern ment to serve than this," was the re ply that flashed instantly out. Unt, persuasive as Mr. Moody was, he did not carry his point then and there. Mr. Sankey took several manths in which to consider the matter. That very afternoon, however, the first Moody and Sankey public meeting was held, with no advertisement except the singing as led by Mr. Moody's newly fonnd friend. It was an outdoor gather ing, and the masses were there. Mr. Moody brought out a box from a store to a favorably located street corner, mounted it, and there a short but fer vent service of preaching and song was held. At the close of this open air meet ing the two evangelists headed a pro cession for the Academy of Music, where the convention meetings were held, sink ing as they marched with the crowd in to the Academy of Music, the convention having adjourned the discussion of "How to Reach the Masses" and gone to supper. When the delegates got back to the academy building, they found it nearly half full of the very "lapsed masses" about whom they hud been discussing. Mr. Moody cut short his second address, dismissed the audi ence and went ont with Mr. Sankey to get something to eat Mr. Sankey was greatly impressed with these two meet ings and said to Mr. Moody, "You nro reaching the masses while other people are talking about them." After the convention was over Mr. Sankey went back to Newcastle ami talked the question over with his wife and family. He did not aee his duty clearly all at once, but Mr. Moody kept writing for him to come to Chicago an. I at last persuaded him to go out for n week to look the ground over. Arriving in Chicago in the early morning, he went first to Mr. Moody's house, reaching there just as family prayers were being held. Almost before Mr. Moody intro duced him to his family he asked him to sing a hymn and thus contribute his part toward the informal service of praise. Then the two men went out into the streets of the city visiting the sick and unfortunate. That day must have been a notable one in the personal history of the two men, who afterward commanded the eager attention of great audiences ou both sides of the ea. On this occasion, as two ordinary missionaries, they went about from house to house, singing and reading the Bible and speaking the word of cheer and hope wherever it was needed. This was their first day's lubor together. Evening .meetings were held during the week in the Illinois street church, of which Mr. Moody was tuu head and leader. On Sunday a large sceeting was held la Farwell hall, and as the organist hap pened to be absent Mr. Bankey had to sing without instrumental accompani ment, not having even a small cabinet organ there. The effect of the service npon the people there was so marked that Mr. Moody turned to the singer and aid, "You see I was right." There were that. night not less than 100 inquiries. The earnest preaching and consecrated song bad gone home to many a heart. From that time until the present these men have been colaborers, and the story of their career here and in Great Brituin is so familiar that it need not again lx rehearsed. Congregatioualiat.

Temple Bar, Aa TSarrasnfiahU Mermaid. "This here show business," said the dime museum man, "ain't what it's cracked up to be by a long shot. A man's alius runnin agin things that do him op." "What's troubling your inquired the advance agent. "Why, that dnrn mermaid of mine la gcttin me Into debt over my head. Now, yon know I've got the only genuine mer maid on exhibition. She's a maid of the sea, she is, a living example of the storied nymphs of the wave of old, as my programmer says. I pay her a big salary, and she puts all my other attrac tions in the shade. It would put your ye ont to see the way the people look at her. I tell you, she's the greatest freak in the business, and the best of it is she's genooine. But to come down to cases, as I wnz saying, she keeps me in hot water all the time. There ain't a day that I don't have to do somethln special for her. I don't dast refuse, for I can't get along without her in these dull times. Sometimes, though, she makes ma crazy by her unreasonable requests. What do yon suppose she wants now?" "Couldn't imagine," replied the ad vance agent, "unless it is fresh sea water very day or something like that." "Hnht" said the dime museum man disgustedly, "that wonld be easy. That dnrn mermaid don't want a thing but a pair of button white kid shoes." Buffalo Express. A Conversation by Noted Authors, "I never heard distinguished people talk among themselves but once," de clared a young lady the other day, "but then I was quite satisfied. It was even more interesting than I had expected." "What did they talk about?" asked her companion curiously, "and who were theyr The yonng lady named them two noted authors, a gentleman and a lady. "And they talked," she added, with a smile, "about pokers." "Pokers?" ejaculated the friend incred nlonsly. "Pokers!" repeated the first speaker firmly. "The authoress had just built a new house, and her furnace did not work well. She thought her companion had one of the same kind in the house and asked about it "He gave her information and advice, and then they branched off to pokers and the iniquity of manufacturers who make them of soft iron so that they bend out of shape the first time they are red hot You have always heard, haven't you, that his style is exquisite and his English singularly clear and vigorous? Well, it is so, I assure you, when he talks of pokers, and she is charming when she talks in a humorous vein about back dampers and cold air boxes. I was de lighted with the entire conversation, though it certainly was not what I an ticipated." Youih's Companion. Two Remarkable Cares. An old Irish woman's cow was sick unto death, so she turned to the priest to save it. "I can't do anything to keep your cow from dying," he said impa- ! tiently. "Fath an begorra it's yon that can if anyone can," the answered in simple faith. Unwilling to have her reverence in him shaken, the old man went to her cabin. The sick cow was brought ont into the yard and propped np, then the priest began a solemn march around it, chanting monotonously, "If yon die, yon die; if yon live, you live." When at last the tired priest sat down, the cow was reviving, and it afterward lived to a green old age. Some years later the priest was at the point of death with a terrible quinsy, when the old Irish wom an presented herself at the house and told the doctor she could cure him. She was laughed to scorn, but at last had her own way. She insisted npon having the dying man's bed brought out into the middle of the floor, and around it she slowly cantered, singing, "If yon live, yon live, and if yon die you die." The humor of the situation tickled the suffering priest so that a hearty laugh broke the quinsy, and he also lived to a green old age. Springfield Homestead. Power of the Imagination. "I never was more firmly convinced of the power of imagination," said a man, "than I was by something that happened to me on the occasion of a visit to a friend. It had been antextremely hot day, and when I went to bed at night the heat seemed almost insupportable. It seemed to me that if I should open the door from my room into the hall it would make a little circulation and make the air more comfortable, and I felt safe in doing this because I am an early riser, and I knew I could get the door shut before any body was stirring in the morning. So I opened the door, with the pleasant result that I had anticipated, and when I went to close it in the morning I found that I had opened not the door into the hall, but the door into a closet" New York Bun. A Plea For Egoism. Ask yourself hard questions about yourself; find out all you can about your self. Ascertain from original sources if you are really the manner of man you say you are; if yon are always honest; if you always tell the square, perfect truth in business deals; if your life is as good and upright at 11 o'clock at night as it is at noon; if you are as good a temper ance man at a fishing excursion as you areata Sunday picnic; if you are as good when you go out of the city as yon are at home; if, in short, yon are really the tort of man your father hopes yon are and your sweetheart believes you to be. Panola (Tex.) Watchman. What an Old Ladjr rears. "I'm almost afraid sometimes," said a white haired woman at a club meeting not long ago, "when I see the attention given to athletics, the Delsorte system, physical culture or whatever name under which the enthusiasm exists that the coming woman it going to be a superb animal nothing more."
