Moody. Moody was born in Northfield, Mass., February 5, 1837. He was brought up on a farm until he waa 16 years of age when he left home and went to Boston where he was employed in a store for several years. Clerk in a Shoe Store. In Boston he became a professor of religion under the preaching of a Dr. Kirk and shortly afterwards emigrated to Chicago where he found employment as a clerk in a large wholesale shoe store. Perhaps it was indicative of his later powers as an evangelist that he soon became one of the most successful salesmen in the place. While thus engaged he began to spend his evenings doing missionary work among the lowly and destitute of the city. One day he applied for a teaching position in a mission Sunday school but was told that already there were too many teachers. But if he would bring his own class, they told him, he could teach. Accordingly, the next Sunday the young shoe salesman turned up with a dozen street toughs in tow. Once started, nothing could stop the growth of this unique class. There were fights. One day a careless scholar entered with his cap on. A loyal member spotted him, sent him sprawling with a blow between the eyes and the comment, "I'll teach you not to enter Moody's Sunday school with your hat on." But in kpite of such disruptions enroll- - The Chicago Avenue or "Moody's Church" as It appeared soon aner completion in inc. it nas recently been torn down to make room for the new buildings of the Moody Bible institute which Moody lounaea in isb. soared with mushroom growth and Moody scoured the city for teachers. When attendance hit 1,500 Moody's Sunday school was known throughout Chicago. And when, one day in 1860 President Lincoln visited the school, its' fame spread throughout the Middle West. And no wonder. For in addition to his ability to attract noted persons to his school, Moody's methods of operation were shockingly unconventional. His plan for disposing of unfit teachers had little to ask in effi ciency. Scholars were allowed to transfer from one class to another. Inevitable results were that teachers who failed to interest their scholars were quickly left without classes. His devices for publicizing his school were as novel as they were successful. He issued stock certificates of the "North Market Sabbath School association: cap ital, 110,000 ; 4,000 shares at 25 cents each." These certified the purchase of shares "for the erection of a new building." . . . For dividends, apply at the school each Sabbath at 3 p. m." Moody's 'Bodyguard.' At another time 13 street arabs were promised new suits at Christmas for regular attendance every Sunday until that time. Their names: Red Eye, Smikes, Madden the Butcher, Indian, Jackey Candles, Giberich, Billy Blucannon, Darby the Cobbler, Butcher Kilroy, Greenhorn, Black Stovepipe, Old Man, Ragbreeches Cadet. All but one fulfilled the conditions and the newly uniformed squad became known as Moody's bodyguard." Capitalizing on the incident. Moody made "before and after" photographs. These he hung un der the captions "Does It Pay?" and "It Does Pay!" Proof that it did became apparent in many cases. One day years later a former teacher in the old Sunday school stopped before a railway ticket office. "You don't seem to know me," said the agent. "No, I don't believe so," replied the traveler.

These, together with pennies with which Sunday school children mirchased hrirk built the basement and first story or the church at the corner of LaSalle and Chicago avenue. This was noused over and first occu Died in 1873. Meanwhile Moody found himself faced with a real difficulty. The fire had left Chicago in ashes. mere were no homes anywhere near his church where he could find people to invite to the services. Not even saloons. So he decided on a trip to England And while there he was so im. pressed with the need of neonlo for Christianity that in 1873 he returned with his song leader, Ira D. Sankev. for a three-vea- r evan. geustic campaign or the British - a Moody and Sankey Return. Upon the return of Moody and Sankey to this country, they ap peared often m the new Chicago building. At the same time, as ever. Moody attracted to his pulpit some of the most famous men of his time. There probably is no single church in the Middle West in which so many great personages appeared.

He conducted evangelistic meetings in virtually all of the large cities in the East He launched two schools in Massachusettsa girls' school at Northfield and a boys' school across the Connecticut river at Mt. Hermon, both of which are in existence today. Then in 1886 he founded a Bible school in Chicago later to be renamed Moody Bible d, guard'?" "Yes, I have a picture of them at home."
