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.
