Life and Work of Dwight L. Moody, the Great Evangelist of the Xixth Century: The Founder of Northfield Seminary, Mount Herman School for Boys and the Chicago Bible Institute (Classic Reprint)

The worlds final judgment concerning its great men will always be based upon the moral influences which they have incarnated. Whether estimated by the moral qualities which go to make up personal character, or by the extent to which he impressed himself upon the life of his generation, the verdict given by Professor Drummond some years ago when he said: There is, perhaps, no more truly great man living than D. L. Moody ,will be confirmed by the tribunal of the ages. With the closing of the century, the most remarkable man who lived in it, one whose name will live with that of Washington, the father of his country, with that of Lincoln, the savior of it, one who preached to more millions of men the gospel of the grace of God for the salvation of a lost and ruined world, who won more souls to Jesus Christ than any other man who ever lived, the mightiest evangelist, save the great Apostle to the Gentiles, ever sent to call men to repentance, the iron-hearted, the grace-refined, the glory-crowned man of God Dwight L. Moody passed on to his rest and his reward. This volume is but a modest tribute of praise to the work and worth of one who never sought and little cared for the praise of men, whose best memorial is being built up out of the living stones he quarried from many a pit of sin. More impressive and imperishable than any shaft of marble, or statue of bronze are the granite foundations laid at Northfield, Mount Hermon and in the heart of Chicago. Of him it may be truly said: That mighty works do follow him. His name shall be had in everlasting remembrance.
