Excerpt from Sermons and Addresses, Question Drawer, and Other Proceedings of the Christian Convention Held in Chicago, September 18th to 20th, 1883 Among all those, from Paul to the devout of our own day, who can truthfully say: I determined to know nothing among you save Jesus Christ and Him crucified, few have succeeded so well in singleness of purpose and strength of faith as Mr. Moody. Through no self-assertion he has come to occupy a prominence which would gratify the most high vaulting ambi. Tion; but no man could be freer than he from ambition, as a motive power. His whole heart is in the work of saving souls. In the vineyard of the Lord there are other labors to be per formed, apart from the direct work of personal evangelization, but it must be conceded that he has chosen the better part, and is engaged in the noblest work on earth.
