Moody’s Success at Oxford

MR. MOODY has visited Oxford, England, in his evangelical labors. Although it is the seat of literary culture, and high church conservatism, he met with remarkable success, many of the students coming forward for prayers. This shows that there is a power in simplicity. If Mr. Moody had attempted to move them by a display of eloquence and learning, he would undoubtedly have failed. They make a great mistake who think to gain the learned and influential to Christ by any other means than the plain presentation of the simple truth accompanied by the Spirit of God.
