It matiered little wo him whether aschool was under Methodist, Congrogational, or Presbyterian management, if 80 be he got the gamin of the street under Sunday-school influences, His onetrouble in this work was that the youngsters who needed Sunday-school instruction the most could not be perstaded to come to the ordinary school—oy could not be kept there if once they were coazed in, Tuey were too untamed—too ill at ease among well drensed and well-behaved children, 8o, more to catch the fish that alipped through the nets of the othes schools than for any other reason, he decided 0 start 8 school of his own on the Sands, ' This was the name of & poverty-stricken, whisky-ridden, crime-steeped locality on the North Side—the Five Points of Chicago, Hirirg an unfurnished room that had been last ased {or a w.loon, he atarted out to dram up scholars to All it.

To give anidea of the neighborhood in which the school “was planted, it is said that Moody, speaking from the steps of the hall entrance, could make kis Volce heard in the doors of 204 salooun. Here he and hua belpers gathered a school that within a year bad an average attendance of 650 scholars, and soon ran UP to 1,000 ‘There wia probably mever another school just ks it.
