Mr. Moody haa never placed himself under obligations by receiviog money from any denominational society, and does not roceivo anv enlary or direct payment for bis preaching, tbus holding himsolf froo from all deuominational restraints, and at liborty to attack suy wrong wherever ho may encounter it. 11is desiro, a8 oxpressed by himsolt, is to preach only tho salvation of mon throngh Christ, and to proach the Gospol of Cbrist to all whom ho can reach, a8 freely os tho waters of lifo sro vaun—mlhout money apd without prico—but 0 has not sufficient meaus to bear tho oxpensa of travel, or to sopport hla family and himsolf while giving his wholo time to preaching. For this reason he has boon compollad to accopt tho frop offerings ot such friouds aa chose to givo him pecuniary as- Bistanco, snd desire and oxpoct nothing in re- turn but that he ehould continue in his worx, Many of Moody’s converts have thua sent him small sums of monoy as friendly gifts, desiring him to use them to obtain tho comforta of life whilo going forward {n the ministry. A great part of these gifts come to him inclosed in snonymous letters, thus compelling acceptanco. During hix stay in this city sll big letters, excopt thoso from his owa family, have boen opencd by the persons who entertain him na thoir guoat, Mr. Moody states that during his stay in the city he hias received about 8300 in this way, and that all ho hag evor rocoived from his friends has only placed him in barely comfortablo circumstances, Satd he to tho roporter: “I have all the monoy I want If it {m't very much.
