The electric intcllectual atruosphere of Boston seems to havo stimulated Rev. D. h. Moody to the utterance of mauy of the most striking and appropriate sayings of his life. Some of them are worthy of being repeated and preserved oven in our invaluable columns. For instauce: "Advertising in a proper way is as good for churches as it is lor business. Put your religious notices in the papers and let 'cm appear in the amusement column. Then you'd catch the people who go to the theaters and not to the chtirches. Most of the churches do their advertising with nndertakerB' signs, and thcy do a dead business. Dignity is not orie of the fruits of the spirit. "Peoplo say I'm hurting their feelings vhen I talk abont the ehurch. Well, I've had my feclings hurt a good deal. It's time we got down to the business of telling the truth even about the churches. "I teil yon, it's a calamity when a minister can only preach about half an hour a week, and then gets so tired that he must havo a vacation in the summer. I teil you, we want more work for God among ministers and ehurch rnembers. "Somo people carry their troubles around with them as the Egyptians did their mummies long ago. If they have not trouble enough at present, they go back through all their lives to find some, and if thcy have not then suflicient they anticipate some in the future. "
