Recollections of a Long Life

CHAPTER VII
15/17

It was in those little chapel meetings that my beloved brother, Moody, prepared his first "Bible Readings," which afterward became so celebrated in this country and in Great Britain.

A few months afterward I met Mr.Moody in London.

Coming one day into my room, he said to me: "They wish me to come over here and preach in England." I urged him at once to do so; "for," I said, "these English people are the best people to preach to in the world." Moody then said, "I will go home,--secure somebody to sing, and come over and make the experiment." He did come home,--he secured my neighbor, Mr.
Sankey,--returned to England, and commenced the most extraordinary revival campaign that had been known in Great Britain since the days of Whitefield.

I cannot dismiss this heaven-honored name without a word of honest, loving tribute to the man and his magnificent work.

D.L.
