PREFACE.

The breathless interest given to Mr. Moody's anecdotes while beingrelated by him before his immense audiences, and their wonderful powerupon the human heart, suggested to the compiler this volume, and ledhimto believe and trust that, properly classified and arranged in bookform, they would still carry to the general reader a measure of theiroriginal potency for good. The best anecdotes have been selected andcarefully compiled under appropriate headings, alphabetically arranged,making the many stories easily available for the private reader andpublic teacher. Mr. Moody's idiom has been strictly preserved. He tellsthe story. "Gold" will be found scattered through the volume, whichincludes Mr. Moody's terse declarations of many precious and timelytruths.

The compiler acknowledges the benefit received from the extendedreportsof the Tabernacle meetings given in the Daily press of Chicago, alsotheHippodrome services reported in the New York papers, and the volume ofAddresses revised by Mr. Moody. With the earnest prayer that God'sblessing may accompany the reading of these stories that have blessedsomany thousands as they fell from the lips of the great Evangelist, thisvolume is dedicated to the public by the compiler, J. B. McClureChicago, Ill.

REVISED EDITION.

We retain in this, all that was in former editions and give forty pagesadditional of new anecdotes, properly classified, taken from therevivalwork in Boston and elsewhere. We also give engravings of Messrs. Moody,Sankey, Whittle, and the late lamented P. P. Bliss, the fourevangelistswho have so long and industriously labored together, and whose namesconjoined, are household words throughout the land. The heartyreceptionalready given by the public to this book justifies these improvements,which are gladly made, and which lead the compiler to hope that in thisform the volume may prove yet more interesting and effective for good.
