. The life and work of Dwight L. Moody, presented to the Christian world as a tribute to the memory of the greatest apostle of the age. Mr. Moody had developed strong Calvinistictendencies, and he found a worthy opponent in one of his fellowclerks who, by bringing up, was a Methodist. The question ofamusements was also taken up. Mr. Moody was strongly averseto any frivolous form of amusement, or any amusement whichseemed to him frivolous.
