A PERSONAL TRIBUTE TO DWHIIIT I..
MOODY.
The death of Mr. Moody was a great
sorrow to the whole world.
Henry Drnminond once said that
Moody whs the biggest human he ever
met.
Let us take his first mission to Great
Britain and Ireland In 187.1-5. Mr.
Moody went there, an unknown man, to
preach, with an unknown friend to sing.
Yet In six months their mission was
the strongest religious force In the
country. The people were stirred as
they had not been since the days of
Wesley Bnd Whltcfleld. The devotion
of Mr. Moody, his subjection of self to
God's Spirit, was so absolute that peo
ple at first wondered how so great a
work could be accomplished by means
so obscure. Take, for Instance, Dr.
Dale's attitude. He had expected for
some time a fresh religious movement;
but "Moody and Sankey were not the
kind of men for whom he had been look
ing;'' and though they came to Birming
ham after their personal fame was
established, and Immediately filled the
Binglcy hall with largo audiences, and
although Dale himself was "amazed
and delighted by what he saw," he was
also exceedingly puzzled about the
means of it, and he frankly told
Moody that he could see no real rela
tion between him Moody and what he
had dune.
Moody's whole attitude to education
was sound. Though himself what Is
called an uneducated man, no evangel
ist ever laid greater stress upon the
need of an educated ministry.
In Scotland Mr. Moody caused a great
revival among the Bible classes.
No man was ever less chargeable with
seeking money for himself. On the
contrary, he gave away what he had a
right to keep, probably with more ful
ness than any other living man. Mr.
Moody had the great man's Interest in
great men, and a disposition to sympa
thize with the difficulties and responsi
bilities of leaders in other lines of life
from himself, rather than to criticize,
as be might easily have done in some
cases, their want of a religious temper.
Mr. Moody exalted the Soriptures.
He used the Bible in its plainness and
simplicity. It was to him the Infallible
rule of faith and practice. The churches
recognized In Mr. Moody's great human
ness the likeness to his Master, whose
perfect humanity filled to Its full with
divine personality, sought and easily
found men.
We ought all to mourn that he was
not spared to us for at least those seven
years which he lacked of the three
score and ten. Makuuekite.
A TRIP TO JUPITER.
Concluded
"Pa" arrived hore on tho "up o'clock
train" last night. He was lucky enough
to land "on the bank9 of the Wabash,"
but he was afraid that some of tho
rest of the family would not bo so for
tunate as to arrive so near home. He
Is,thoroforo,very much concerned about
them. He knows that Sal lie is all
right because, when thoy stopped at
Mars on their return trip, she foil In
love with Duke McNamara and was
content to remain there forever. He
thinks that Bertha must have landed
on tho nose of the "Man in the Moon"
and ho, therefore, looks for her return
any time after Quadrature.
"Pa" was very much pleased to learn
that Lois, Flossy and Hattie had ar
rived home safely, Lois having landed
near the music store in New Bethlehem,
Flossy at LowTsburg, where she paid a
homage to the King before she returned
home, and Hattie in Paradise. He says
he thinks that by the general direction
of the rays of light which "Ma," Amy,
Etta and Ella rode that "Ma" must have
arrived In Masheokoanes, Amy in Moor
ahedabed, Ella in Bahla Honda, and
Etta In Caravolas. We think that if
Ella and Etta really did land In Cuba
wo nocd never look for their return for
they will begin at once their life work
of teaching the poor little Cubans.
LOCALS.
Last Wednesday being parents' and
patrons' day, we were favored with a
talk on the Transvaal War by Hon. S.
B. Elliott, during chapel. The number

6, 10; room 5, IB; room 4, 12; room 3, 12;
room 1 , 22.
On account of the examination last
Thursday the Sr. General History class
bad to reoite after school. Before the.
class was dismissed the room became so
cold that Etta, who bad the last toplo
was frozen so stiff that she could not ut
ter a word and the class adjourned until
warmer weather.
The Subs had a reception Tuesday,
Refreshments were served in tho form
of Grammar Soup, Grammar on the Half
Shell, Fricassee Grammar, Grammar on
toast, Grammar Ice Cream and Tooth
picks.

and remained there during the morning
session.
The Seniors and Juniors had a writ
ten review In Geometry last Thursday
The Seniors having completed the Third
Book and the Juniors the First Book.
A lecture course ticket was found in

Prof. Lenkerd's office.

this is the first time we won't count this
one."

the month of January was 02. The per
cent of attendance to date Is A3.
Prof. Lenkerd spent Saturday and
Sunday at Clarion renewing old ac
quaintances. Miss Hayes spent Sunday at her home
at Walston.
Coal Trsde Items.
Coal Truclc .Toiirniil.l
The soft coal market continues in
good shape. In nearly all the districts
there Is activity, and the shipments
from the mines continues to be made on
a very liberal scale. At the time we
fancy thero Is an easier feeling in many
quarters among consumer as to their
ability to secure .supplies, and many
places which were said to lie in despot'
ate straits for coal have been supplied.
Those contractors who have lived up to
their engagements during the abnormal
conditions which prevailed are entitled
to the greatest credit and will no doubt
keep their customers. There have been
Instances where the contractors have
"led their trudu" but sparingly and had
some coal to sell at the top figures, and
some of these will have balances to de
liver this season at old figures.
All lines of consumers will find that
under normal conditions there Is a high
er cost of fuel this season, and It will be
notably higher In New England If there
Is the faintest business wisdom on tho
part of certain shippers to the seaboard.
At Buffalo the soft coal market shows
no change. Tho serious scarcity of all
sizes continues and shippers have a
serious time in caring for the demands
of their customers. The railroads es
pecially feel the scarcity and are using
every effort to get a supply for fuel pur
poses. The Grand Trunk is one of the
worst sufferers and with the enormous
quantities It usually takes through this
gateway has great difficulty in getting
enough for ordinary uses.
