THE BOY AND D. L. MOODY

Many years ago, D. L. Moody was going to speak at a church. A nine year old boy heard about the engagement and went to hear Moody. He got there early and went in the Church. A man escorted him immediately out.

"This is for adults. Besides, you are not properly dressed and you are dirty," he was told.

The boy went to the curb in front of the church began crying. A man came up to him and asked him what his problem was. He told the man who immediately escorted the boy to the front of the church, sat him on the front row, and then proceeded to take his seat on the podium.

That man was D. L. Moody.
