Show A Story About Moody. w - w Those who have heard Mr. Moody tell'the story of his life will appreciate this from the Boston Transcript: "The picture of the small boy, Moody, leaving leav-ing his home because the funds of the family were too straightened to support sup-port them all comfortably; bis departure depart-ure for the place in tho country which his brother had obtained for him, there to do the work needed on a farm, his homesickness and despair, and his sitting sit-ting down by tho way to have 'a good cry' theso are the shadows. "The light thrown on the canvas came from the kind-hearted man who made a point of giving a cont to every . now boy who arrived in the town. The cent was glvon, one of the old-fashioned, old-fashioned, generous ones, and so bright and shining that it looked to the child's eyes like gold. "But hotter far than the coin was the act of this same man, when he gently lifted the boy's cap and laid his hand upon his hoad, giving him a hearty God bless you.' The action of mind on mind is mystical, infinite. in-finite. Who can compute the result of that blessing on the youthful head? Mr. Boochor has well said, Men need brotherhood and sympathy as much as they need the loaf. The soul Is often hungrier than the body, and no shop can sell it food. ' |
