we are not faithful Surely e do

trusting to a vague hope which now

BT BLDEE A. A. KCSWAIK.
The first time I ever saw brother
Hill was at Double Springs. Camp
Meeting, when I was a, boy. I soon
learned that to know. him. was to
love him, and as acquaintance grew
more familiar I learned the more to
love and honor him. , Without the
advantages of a collegiate, training
he labored successfully as one dis
tinguished for zeal, intelligence and
faithfulness. " He was a remarkable,
man in many respects. - He was hoh
est in bis opinion, which lie always
dreW from the Scriptures ; fearless
in his expressions,' and true to the
convictions of his miadi He never
sought honor of men in this Jife bo
that he, might honor jGod. 4 And a
such, with independence of thpng!
he always.spoke to his hearers', a
with perfect reliance he pufsued tb
hisber and nobler aims of his callin
ia a :way that gained to him the api
plause'of his brethren and' secured!
tor him the first rank as a '"minister
When he entered the pulpit his com4
manding appearance and warm affecj
tlons alwaya gave his hearers to un4
derstand that he wonld tell themj
something that wouldi benefit . their
souls, r And when he arose to speak
to them, with his voice.rlnging like
a silvery trumpet with clearness am

Undoubtedly Mr. Moody has been
largely instrumental in creating the
general interest on the subject of re
ligion, which is now manifested in
Baltimore. The success which haS
attended his efforts ip this city is a
practical demonstration of . the' truth
as Well as the power of Christianity.
Were the most brilliant infidel that
ever lived to spend month - after
month in our midst, proclaiming his
doctrines three or four times , a day,
the "attraction'' might have "run?
for a week or so, but it would hot be
long before the public would leave
him to himself, But; here comes an
uneducated Christian preacher, with
nothing, bnt a strong and ; rngged
earnestness, to recommend him, and
when he "proclaims ! the verlasttn g
Gospel,? the whole city is' moved,
and; mouth after, month, he continues
his mio wtrations( with a pablio inter
