A Supplement.

By S. B. Whitney

BEING much interested in the article in the REVIEW of Nov. 25, entitled “How to Work,” I thought perhaps the following from the Buffalo Daily Courier, of Nov. 24, might be interesting to others, and therefore offer it as a supplement to that article. It may help to explain why Mr. Moody is so earnest, and therefore successful. S. B. WHITNEY.

Evangelist Moody rigidly confines himself to enforcing the duty prescribed by the gospel for the time that now is, but he has also views of the future, and is a firm believer in the second coming of Christ. This doctrine he holds not in a general way, “but in our time,” he says, “it is no use attempting to work for this world. This Old Ark is going to sink, and the only thing to do is to get as many of the crew and passengers out of her as possible, and let her go down; and therefore the business of every Christian man and woman is to work and wait.” This is a view of things that is believed to be rapidly gaining ground at present throughout the Christian world.
