s 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,

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.

REVISED EDITION 1896
This edition includes additional anecdotes and many handsome and

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.

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. In his
thirty-five years labor for Christ, from his mission class of fourteen
scholars in a Chicago saloon, down to the ten thousan
