AN INTERVIEW WITH MR. MOODY.

His Opinion of English People and Eng lish Ways. Titled Ladles Visit the Hovels of tho Poor. Mit Dwiciit L. Moody, the wollknown evangelist, who for eight months has been conducting a series of evangelistic meetings on a larger scale than any which have hitherto been known in London, left liver pool for America recently. His com panion, Mr Sankey, had already preceded him across the Atlantic. At present it 1? not Mr Moody's intention to return again to this country. Tho total cost of their Lon don campaign is £10,000, the whole of which has been contributed without any app ica tion for a single subscription. The follow ing report (which appears in tho I all -Man Gazette") of a recent interview with Mr Moody refers to the salient features of tins remarkable religious movement:— "Tho fact is," said Mr Moody some days am), " I feel ashamed at coming to say any thing here. You are much further ahead than we aro in America. They have more need of me in the States than you have in England. London, sir, I regard as the most religious city in the world. There is nothing like it to be found anywhere at prosent, and I very much doubt whether there ever was anything like it." "That is not saying much for the rest of the world, Mr Moody, remarked his visitor. " Wo have a tolerable number of sinners hero." "Of course yon have," replied the evangelist; " because thero aro so many of you altogether, but take it in proportion, and you will iind that the facts bear out what I say. lam very much impressed with that. The more I think of it the more it is borne in upon my mind that, take it all in all, there is nothing like London in tho whole world. There is nothing like it in America, at any rate. Take, for instance, your wealthy men. In London there is such a thing as sanctified wealth. That is a very raro com modity in America. The reason for that, i suppose, is chiefly duo to the fact that in London you have familios that have been acclimatised to wealth. They can breathe it without choking. It does not crush them. It is one of tho ordinary incidents of their life, and, being born to wealth, they make as good a use of it as of any other gift which they possess. But in America our rich men have newly all been born poor. Trey have heaped together vast fortunos. As a con sequence, their wealth is too much for them; and there i* nothing to compare with tho great numbers of wealthy men and women who, in London, devote the whole of their leisure time to the service of God and their fellow men. Why, tho other day, the heir to oneofthe greatest fortunes in London, whoso namo I do not wish you to publish, stood outside our meeting and held a cabman's horse the whole timo in order that the cabman might take part in the service within. Nor was that at all an isolated incident. Titled ladies and woalthy ladies moving in tho first society have gone down into tho lowest slums in the districts in which wo have been holding our meetings, and taken care of the children and nursed the babies whilo tho mothers spent an hour in our hall. In some of the places they opened a creche, where they each took turns in keeping the babies while the mothers were at tho services. There has been no duty which they have not been prompt to perform. But it was done over and over again. In fact, there has been no limit to the self-sacrifice and zeal with which tho mission has been carried through on ail hands. Nor is it only the wealthy who have shown such energy. About a hundred persons have followed us from place to place - camping out, as it were—and havo taken lodgings in the immediate vicinity of our halls in order that they might be able to work night and day and bring in the paople. That is one of the great advantages you have here. You have more people with leisure than we have in America ; people who have time on their hands, and who are good enough to dedicate it to the service of their fellow-creatures. I don't think that ever any series of services were arranged for with more good feeling between all denominations, executed with more unity .or zeal, or crowned with greater success. For two months before we started the ground was thoroughly prepared, so that for about ten months Mr Paton has worked like a galley slave in themidstof an energeticand devoted body of helpers. Among those who helped us very materially wore converts who joined us at Cambridge. There never was a place that I approached with greater anxiety than Cambridge. Never having had the privilege of a University education, I was nervous about meeting University men. But I think I had a better time at Cambridge than I had in any other provincial town, and many of the graduates who were brought in there rendered noble service in our Ijoiidon campaign. Some of the best cricketers in Cambridge—some of the best in England, in fact—have been with us heart and soul. We have experienced the advantage of the Cambridge visit through the whole of our London campaign." Success of the Last Mission,—Two Million People Addressed.

" Now, Mr Moody, compared with your last visit to England, how does this one stand ?" " Better," was the reply, better in every respect. There has not been so much newspaper sensation, for the news papers did not write us up as they did be fore, but we have had more meetings, better meetings, and the work has been of a more satisfactory character in every way. For the last eight months I have addressed on an average 9,000 people every day. We always rested on Saturdays, but as we had on an average 25,000 persons at our Sun day services, that brings the average up to 9,000 a day, seven days a week for eight months. You can cipher out the total if you like. I have never done so." Makintr a rapid mental calculation, our representa tive noted the fact that Mr Moody, during that time, must have addressed over 2,000,000 people. " Tolerably large con gregations," continued Mr Moody; "and we got down to the people better. There was not so much absolute work in the slums as among the middle and working classes. Our best sen-ices were at New Cross and Stratford, where we could have had twice the number of people every day if we had only had room for them. The worst ser vices were those at the Temple Gardens in the city. We got the people even there; but we had to go after them, whereas in New Cross and Stratford the difficulty was the other way. Eight years ago it was a superstition that you could not get people in the suburbs. Now, we find this time that it is much easier to get them at their homes than anywhere else. As a rule, the working man will not go to meeting until he haa been home first, if only for five minutes."

The Evangelist Thinks England Improving.

"And what do you think of us, Mr Moody ? Have we improved or gone back ward during the eight years which have passed since you last came to England ?" "You have improved," said Mr Moody— "wonderfully improved. To begin with, there is much more brotherly feeling, more Christian union among the various denom inations than in 187 G. The number of ministers, established and non-established, that co-operated with us all -through has been much greater, and their fervour and brotherly feeling were all that could be desired- Another great change very wel come to us is the increased spiritual life of tli6 churches. Thore ie still, no doubt, a T gteat deal to be done; but thore has been a great awakening, and the Church of Eng land especially is much more alive than it used to be. Then there is another improve ment that is very perceptible lying on the surface of society; I mean the enormous advance you have made in temperance. Bight years ago it was difficult-for me to mix in your society 'without' being constantly pressed to drink wine. Now I may soy, broadly, lam never asked to touch if;, and at many places where I go it is not even on tho table. This is a great change, and brings you nearer to the American level in that matter, for in our country Christian people have been ahead of you in recognising the mis chief of drink. Side by side witli the in creasing zeal of the churches there has been a most remarkable absence of abuse, and

the last improvement that I notice is a t diminution of caste feeling. There seems I to me to exist in England a greater sense of ej. our common humanity permeating all Hj classes. Tho rich and the poor seem to 'i*- feel that there is no longer that great gulf' between them which was formerly there." i " This is very gratifying, Mr Moody," said - our representative. "Now, have you learned anything from us?" "I came here ! to learn, and I have learned one great troth." "What is that!" "Why the great principle of divide and conquer. That I is what distinguishes London above all

other cities. The Church has discovered

that in order to get at men it must attack f them in sections. It is of no use trying to I get at men in the mass. You must split them up and deal with them in detail ; 3 and to Bach a length have you carried this E principle that there is hardly a clas of a i •hundred persons in London that have not a I

__ , _ society or missionary or somobody or other I told off to look niter thain"-" Exoop' journalist*," remarked tho visitor sotlo met, —" For example," continued thoevangehst, without noticing tho interruption, "you have your Policemen's Mission, your Cab men's Mission, and look at the way your shop-girls aro cared for ! Why, thero fs a friend of mine who has every week a class of no less than eight hundred shop-girls, and another has a class of six hundred. And then, abovo and boforc all, look at your Mildmay I 'ark- Why don t you write ur> Mildmay Park Mission, now V 1 think tliatis the grandest institution winch exists in London at the present moment. Its'activity is boundless, and it is doing a great work—a very groat work indeed. 1 should liko to see a Mildmay Park estab lished in every city in the world." Tho Want of the People, Good Homes. "Now, Mr Moody, that, you say, is what we havo taught you ; what have you got to teach us?" "Tho great thing that you need in London," replied Mr Moody, "is home?. Homes ! there, that is your great lack. Tho great mass of your population is homeless. What you want to do is to give them a stake in tho country. Let them feel that they have a fixed home, out of which they cannot be turned by anyone. At present your poor people shift aimlessly from place to place. A man may be in a room to-day, and out of it to-morrow. Thero is no sense of permanence of owner ship sucli as wo havo in America, where nearly every man owns his own house and has his own bit of land. There aro more people who live from hand to mouth in England than in America, and I sometimes wonder how you would pull through in the event of a prolongod period of depres sion. Tho homo was founded bo foro tho church, and you in England stand moro in need of homes than you do of churches. Thero are no homes in the world so well found and so beautiful as English homes ; but, on tho other hand, tho extremes moot, and there aro nono so destitute and squalid, or lacking in all that makes home home-like, as the homes of many, many thousands of your countrymen. In America the sense of ownership is a great stimulus to tho development of man hood, and I think our institutions also contribute to sharpen the intelligence oftlio working man. Ho has a vote, and so ho roads tho papers to see which sido ho should vote upon, and the result is that, on tho whole, I think our working classes are more intelligent than yours. But tho great thing that you are behind in is, after all, the homo. Keep hammering away at tho ' dwellings of tho poor ' question, and keep moving on against tho drink." "lam never excited," said Mr Moody, "in my most exciting meetings. I can sleep like a top within threo minutes of going into a meoting, and I can bo sound asleep three minutes after leaving it. If I wore to get into such a state of nervous excitemont as General Booth, for instance, gets into when he addresses large meeting?, I should have been dead long ago. The survival of tho Booth family to the present moment is to mo little short of a miracle. There is nothing in my work approaching to tho oxhaustion, nervous and physical) which their operations constantly involve. The groat defect, if I may be permitted (o say so, of your services in England, ospecially of tho services of tho Church, is that they alienate tho masses by their ex cessivo length and their lack of interest; and vitality. Your religious sorvicos aro ad justed to tho needs of an age boforo rail ways wero invented and telegrams had revolutionised tho wholo method of com munication between man and man. You want telegrammatic services (if I may use the phrase) if tho busy men of the latter end of tho nineteenth century aro to attend them. Nono of our meetings excooded ono hour in length, and they wero always broken up with plenty of singing. Long services ore a mistake. You want prayers short and to tho point, with straightfor ward addresses from the heart-of the speaker to tho hearts of the listeners. In short, the great need of the church hero, as elsewhere, is sanctified common souse."

Our Thief's Account

John Tilden* and myself formed a co-part nership for tho purpose of doing business in L . The large new factories wore just commencing operations; and as we had thus taken time by the forelock, and had, moreover, secured an excellent location in the business portion of tho town, we anticipated a good run of custom; and I may as well remark here that we were not disappointed. Tilden was forty years of age, over six feet in height, and stout in proportion; but, very fortunately for us weaker vessels, he was one of the be?t natured fellows that ever lived, though he could, upon a pinch, look very savage. I, then a mere youth, with only my money to recommend me, was very fortunate in this first business association, for my partner was not only tho very soul of honour and integrity, but he "knew just exactly how to do it." Our stock-in-trade consisted of clothing, hats, caps, furs, boots, and shoes, andsuch other articles as might be generally found in a gentleman's furnishing establish ment. One bright morning in early autumn I had my coat upon my arm, ready to start for the city, whither I was going to buy goods. " Ithink," said Tilden, "that you had better get a dozen of the finest caps you can find. If you cannot find the very best quality of beaver, get otter," and it was finally arranged that I should get a dozen full sets of gentlemen's furs—half good beaver and half of tho finest otter.

Within a fortnight after I had made the purchase the beaver sets were all sold, and two of the otters were gone. A third otter set was arranged in our shop window,.and while Tilden was gone to dinner one day I took the fura out and tried them on. They fitted me exactly, and I made up my mind that if they were not sold before I went to the city again I would take them for my own use.

"Hallo, Sam, you're furred up for cold weather. Where"ye bound 1" "Nowhere, Dick. I was just trying them on—that's all."

"By gracious, Sam, they're beauties. I wish I could afford such a set. What are they worth ?"

" The full set is worth £10." " Wh-e-io! I guess I'll keep my old beavers awhile longer. But say—have you got some good stout Plymouth gloves that'll fit me 1" I took off the furs and threw them down upon the edge of the low window-seat, and then went to wait upon my customer, who, after repeated trials, succeeded in finding a pair of gloves that suited him. This had just been accomplished aa Tilden returned to reliove me for my own dinner; and as Dick was going my way, I hurried to keep him company. " Who bought those furs !" asked my partner, on my return from dinner. " What furs ?" " The otters that were in the window." "I didn't sell them." " Didn't!" repeated Tilden in surprise. " They're gone !" I looked upon the window-seat, and no furß were there. Then I remembered how I had carelessly thrown them down when I went to wait upon Dick, right where they could easily have been reached from the threshold of the street door. We searched until we knew that they were not in the shop, and then I told my partner that he might charge them to me. " Why," said he, " you did not appro priate them." "No," I replied; "but it was through my carelessness they were lost. It will teach me a good lesson." " Very well, Samuel, the lesson will un doubtedly be useful to you ; but there is no need for your paying quite so dearly for it. We'll open a now account in our ledger a thief's account. They says there'<j honour among thieves, and if such is the case, the gentleman may be willing to pay up when we present our bill." So there was an entry made upon the day book, and that evening, at Tilden's direction, I placed the name of Mr Thief at the head of a page in the ledger, and posted the first item of his account : " One set of otter furs, £10." About three weeks after this, as I was taking in some clothing that had been hanging outside the door during the day, I missed a fine overcoat. I asked Tilden if le knew what had become of it. Nothing at all. A thorough search, and we knew that an overcoat worth £10 had hp.p.n «rnlßii.

"Another item for Mr Thief," said my partner. I entered it on the day-book, but I must confess that I had no great faitli in the result.

Just after the snow came we lost a nice robe from one of the hooks outside. During the winter various small articles were stolen, so that before the snow was gone in the spring Mr Thief's account made up the pretty little sum of £GO. "We'd better turn that account over to Profit and Loss, and keep a little sharper look-out for these troublesome customers " suggested I. '

"Hold on awhile," said Tilden, "we'll find one of tho worthy gentry one of these flays, never fear. E«t pw suggestion oi'

keeping a sharper look-out is a good one, unit i nave thought of a little plan that may help im toward that end."

Our counting-room was in a rear corner of the shop, and entirely partitioned off, the whole of the upper part of said partition being of glass, with green curtains so arranged that wo could shut ofF all view from tho shop if we pleased. Tilden went over to a neighbouring furniture es tablishment, and borrowed three good sized mirrors, which he so arranged in our counting - room that they re flected from their surfaces all the exposed places in the outer apartment from which goods could be easily stolen. A few days after this, while we had half a-dozen customers in, my partner tapped mo upon the shoulder, and in a tone of voice loud enough for all to hear, informed me that I must attend to .business a little whilo, as he was obliged to get oil' somo letters for tho next mail. Then ho whispered softly into my ear: " / think there's a thief here, hut don't trouble yourself. I'll watch him from the counting-room" I looked around after my partner had gone, but could f-ej no ono who had any particularly villainous expression. I noticed ono man—a man of middle ago, and very respectably dressed—leaning up against one of the clothing sholves, and it struck me that ho dropped his eyes rather suddenly as he met my gMO. Ho had been looking at some lino beaver caps that were arranged upon ono of the shelves at tho back of him, and after I had disposed of the rest of the customers I appioached him and asked him if I could serve him.

lie wanted a pair of thick-pegged boots. 1 told him we kept nothing of tho kind. We had a few pairs of light boots, but nothing such as ho wanted. He would find heavy boots a few doors below on tho op posite side of tho street. As ho loft Tilden bounded out from the counting-room.

" That's our thief!" ho cried. "Ho has one of our best beaver caps buttoned up under his overcoat. Lot us see if ho crosses ovc>" after tho boots."

Wo went to the door, and saw our man walking rather hurriedly down tho street, with no sign of going after the hoavy boots, and in a few seconds Tildon was after him. Straight on ho went, and as ho reached tho hridgo of the canal, tho pursuer's hand was upon his shoulder. "Don't bo alarmed, my dear friend," said Tilden, with quite a good-natured look upon his broad face, but with a wondrous grip of his strong hand, "I want you to come back with mo." " Back—to your shop," gasped tho man, trembling at every joint. " Just a fow momonts, sir." "But—a—what d'ye want?" "Just a little settlement," said Tilden, witli a smile. " Settlement! What for ?" " Como with mo and I'll tell you." Tho man seemed to bo trying to got back his courage and composure, and with quite a show of indignation he informed Tilden that he didn't like to bo insulted. "You'd bettor tako your hand oil'mo," he added. " Oh, my dear friend, you and I ain't going to have any words here. The Police oltico is not far away, and if you wish it I can take you thero, and let the otlicers settle with you. But I think you'd bettor go back to the shop. We'll just slip quietly into my counting-room, and tako an inventory of tho goods that are buttoned up under your overcoat, and then wo can settle our little account at our loisuro." "Now, sir," said Tilden, after ho had conducted tho man into tho counting-room, " if yon will just open your coat." The fellow hesitated, but finally, with a faint gasp, tho coat was unbuttoned, and the cap was revealed. " Mr Sanders," said my partner to me, "do you recognise this cap ?" I told him that I did. " Now, my dear sir," went on Tildon, " I didn't call you back to harm you. Wo have a Tltt-lo account against you, and wo would like to have you to settle it. Why, wo havo no earthly desire to harm you. We have done business with you too long. We don't mako a practice of harming our customers." "Done business with met A rogukr customer?" repeated the light-fingered gentleman, a little curiously. " You must bo mistaken." " Oh, no, there can bo no mistake Wo have your name here," replied Tilden, opening tho ledger. " Let us see ; here it is :Mr Thief. Tho first articles charged wore a sot of furs, which you had last October, worth LlO. Next, you had a coat, worth LlO Next I find charged a robe, at L 3. Next a fine mulller ; and so on till tho bill amounts to LOO ; and tho cap which you took to-day will mako it L 2 more. It may bo that your momory is not good; but you may dopand upon our ledger ; for I give you my word that Mr Thief has had every artielo therein sot down." •'The poor fellow began to understand it, and prefacing his remark with an oath, ho declared : " ! You mean to rob mo !" "My dear sir," said Tilden, in tho smoothest and most agreeablo manner, at the same time closing the ledger and putting it back into the rack, "you entirely mistake me, or it may bo that I am myself mistaken. Perhaps you are not the Mi- Thief who had these other articles." " No, sir," answered the man eagerly, whilo a beam of hope was perceptible upon his face, " this ono cap is all that I have ever taken." "Very well," pursued my partner. "If that is tho case, I am sorry I took the trouble to biing you here. Tho cap is a mere trifle. I will let you settle that in court. Mr Sanders, will you look after the shop while I accompany our friend to the oTico of tho police V "Eh ! " gasped the poor wretch, the beam of hope fleeing away, and a cloud of terror coming in its place. " You won't take me to court ! They'll put me in prison ! My folks'll know all about it! You said you would'nt do it!" "Ah, my dear sir, when I soid thatl sup posed you were our old friend ; but it seems I wa3 mistaken."

Once more the culprit began to under stand it—this time a little more clearly than before ; and then ho went on :

" You've got me. If I pay that bill, will you let. me go !" " On one farther condition," said Tilden, solemnly; "you shall uovor take good 9in that manner again.l' The thief had no hesitation In giving the promise, and when the bill had been made out he paid it promptly, and without murmur. At first, however, he objected to taking the beaver cap away with him, but Tilden would not listen to that.

"The cap is yours," he said, as he folded it neatly in a white paper and tied it up, " and you have got it at a bargain. At all events, whenever you feel dissatisfied with your trade, you may bring it back, and wo will refund the money. There, sir. I wouldn't button it up under my coat again —you might jam it." The man left as suddenly as possible after ho had been thus dismissed, and when he had gone my partner turned to me. "There, Sain, wo have got our pay for all the gooJs that have b^en stolen from us, and at the panic time I verily believe (hat tlio fellow who has just left us has boon punished severely enough. Be sure he will never forget this day's lesson.— I'rhc Tit Bit.

Fun at the Seaside

At one of our favourite North Devon water ing place? a party of four college boys have been making a season of it camping out. Eligible young gentlemen of leisure and in telligence aro always in great request at a seas-ide resort, and, with an abundance of girls at the hotels and cottages and in the neighbouring town, the students in question have been, with respect to feminine com panionship, in the thickest and richest of

fragrant clover. They have boated, bathed, gone berrying, sucked moonlight in fair, feminine society, strolled in tho woods, pre tended to get bst, pretended to be cut off in out-of-the-way places by the put-going tide, and, in short, done everything which boys and girls seeking diversion, fun, and com panionship, do everywhere—old folks and parental oversight to the contrary notwith standing. In the quartette of collegians the morn ing custom has been for two of the company to rise by sunrise, and, going up the beach, to have an early morning plunge in the surf. At this hour, the hotel guests and ■ cottagers are soundly snoring, and with only the lobster-men or fishermen, stirring, it was pafe for the student bathers to take their sea-bath devoid of costume. Leaving their shore garments on the rocks, they breasted the breakers, therefore, with no encumbrance of bathing suite. This afforded opportunity for a practical joke by the remaining two of the campers out.

Borrowing the costumes from lady friends one afternoon, they arrayed themselves next morning, and when the bathers were well out in the water, they descried to their horror on looking shoreward two feminine figures sitting on the rocks, and apparently waiting their exit from the water. From the colour of the dresses and the Btin-um brellas, the horrified bathers were convinced that tiiq couple on shore were two well-known lady friends, Supposing, of

course, that tho young gentlemen in ' tho water -,vcr« provided with bathing i costumes, thero could be no impropriety in a couple of young lady friends awaiting tho conclusion of their bath end exit from the water for a stroll homeward. Tho agonies of the young men in tho water may be imagined when it is stated that tho sea water was chilly, though tho sun was blistering hot, and, for nearly tho wliolo forenoon, tho jokers on tho shovo onjoyed the discomfiture of their tentmatcs. Tho joke was disclosed when ono of the pretended females shouted in a deep bass, " Oh, come ashore, you idiots !" at the same time lowering his sun-umbrella and dis closing his well-bronzed face and dark moustache. Lifting their dross skirts, tho jokers re vealed their navy-blue breeches and canvas beach shores, and after a can-can war-danco of delight on tho rocks, thoy mado haste homeward, followed by volloys of beach pebbles from tho chilled and slilroring victims, who were now trying to shako themselves into their gladly regained clothes. " How to get even with those two scoundrels," is the conundrum which nightly agitates the brains of a brace of crestfallen collegians.
