W here the Gospel Rings Out in Chicago
H URING the past year a church edifice of massive propor tions has been slowly rising in Chicago, opposite Lincoln Park, in the block between North Clark and La Salle Streets, just north of North Avenue and fronting on both streets. It is the D. L .’ Moody Memorial Church and Sunday School Building, so named in honor of , the great evangelist, and was dedicated on Sunday, November 8, as the home of the Moody Church, founded by D. L. Moody 61 years ago. Erected at a cost above $900,000, the new building is being financed by thè m e m b e r s h i p chiefly through pledges made in January, 1924, and payable weekly through five years. From other resources of the church $360,000 was realized, and the balance of the sum required is being secured by a bond issue sold directly by the church without commissions to any one. It is of interest at this point to note that there is not a single person of wealth in the membership of Moody Church. Its motto from the begin ning has been,; “Ever welcome to this house of God are strangers and the poor,” and its missionary character is evidenced by the fact that more than eighty of its members are now in for eign missionary service, and by the further significant fact that at the church’s annual missionary rally last April above $30,000 was pledged to ward the support of these mission aries; also that for eleven years the church’s annual missionary pledges, which have frequently exceeded this year’s figure, have always been paid in full and usually overpaid. Founded on God’s Word, Moody Church is the same today in doctrine and practice as in the beginning. The whole emphasis is now, as in Moody’s day, on a Bible preaching, evangelizing
and teaching ministry. New Testa ment church discipline is practised, and has been owned and blessed of God in many instances. . Modernism is recognized for what it is, the enemy of the cross of Christ, and Moody Church believes the best way to com bat it is by faithfully giving forth the Word in revival power. As might be expected from the Moody Church, the opening services of the new structure were followed by an evangelistic campaign to continue several weeks under the leadership of Rev. R. A. Torrey, D.D. Homer Ham- montree, recently elected Assistant Pastor of the church, will be the music conductor. Furthermore, beginning in January, the Rev. Louis Entzminger will lead the church in a great for ward movement for recruiting the un saved of ■ the community around about and bringing, it is expected, many hundreds into the church and Sunday School. Throughout nearly its whole history the Moody Church has maintained a high standard for its platform minis try. In periods when it has been with out a regular pastor the pulpit has been supplied as a rule by distinguish ed preachers from this country and abroad. Among its regular pastors of note have been the late Dr. W. J. Erd- man, Rev. Charles A. Blanchard, Pres ident of Wheaton College; Dr. R. A. Torrey; the late Dr. A. C. Dixon; Dr. James M. Gray, who supplied the pul pit for a long period following Dr. Tor- rey’s pastorate; Evangelist George C. Needham, and others. ■v\l/^’ 88» ' ^3 Tell Your Friends to Give Their Other Friends The King’s Business for Christmas
