MOODY'S
ANECDOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS. RELATED IN HIS REVIVAL WORK
BY THE GREAT EVANGELIST
DWIGHT L. MOODY. FULLY ILLUSTRATED FROM GUSTAVE DORE REVISED EDITION.
EDITED BY
REV. J. B. McClure.
CHICAGO:
Rhodes & McClure Publishing Co.
1899
Entered according to act of Congress, in the year 1896 by the
Rhodes & McClure Publishing Company,
in the Office of the Librarian of Congress, Washington, D. C.
All Rights Reserved. PREFACE. The breathless interest given to Mr. Moody's anecdotes while being
related by him before his immense audiences, and their wonderful power
upon the human heart, suggested to the compiler this volume, and led him
to believe and trust that, properly classified and arranged in book
form, they would still carry to the general reader a measure of their
original potency for good. The best anecdotes have been selected and
carefully compiled under appropriate headings, alphabetically arranged,
making the many stories easily available for the private reader and
public teacher. Mr. Moody's idiom has been strictly preserved. He tells
the story. "Gold" will be found scattered through the volume, which
includes Mr. Moody's terse declarations of many precious and timely
truths. The compiler acknowledges the benefit received from the extended reports
of the Tabernacle meetings given in the Daily press of Chicago, also the
Hippodrome services reported in the New York papers, and the volume of
Addresses revised by Mr. Moody. With the earnest prayer that God's
blessing may accompany the reading of these stories that have blessed so
many thousands as they fell from the lips of the great Evangelist, this
volume is dedicated to the public by the compiler,

Chicago, Ill. REVISED EDITION. We retain in this, all that was in former editions and give forty pages
additional of new anecdotes, properly classified, taken from the revival
work in Boston and elsewhere. We also give engravings of Messrs. Moody,
Sankey, Whittle, and the late lamented P. P. Bliss, the four evangelists
who have so long and industriously labored together, and whose names
conjoined, are household words throughout the land. The hearty reception
already given by the public to this book justifies these improvements,
which are gladly made, and which lead the compiler to hope that in this
form the volume may prove yet more interesting and effective for good. The engraving of Mr. Moody is from a copyrighted photograph by Gentile,
used by permission. That of Mr. Whittle is by the same artist. J. B. Mc. REVISED EDITION 1896 This edition includes additional anecdotes and many handsome and
appropriate illustrations. Over one million copies of this book have been sold since the first
issue. No single volume in the history of literature on the American
continent has met with such a sale, and probably the only approximate
comparison in the world is that of "Pilgrim's Progress." Both of these volumes, it should be noted, derive their merited power
and success from the vital truths of the Holy Scriptures which they so
aptly illustrate. May Heaven's blessing follow. J. B. McClure

DWIGHT L. MOODY Self made, and conscious of the absolute truthfulness of every Bible
declaration, Dwight Lyman Moody is today, perhaps, the most independent
and powerful of living evangelists. Man, rather than books, and God,
rather than man, have been his study, and made his life intensely
individual, and one which has constantly increased in good works... Continue reading book >>
