Moody's Anecdotes And Illustrations: Related in his Revival Work by the Great Evangelist
Moody, Dwight Lyman
Christian life -- Fiction; Homiletical illustrations
One day while he was selling his wares at the railroad station, a train
of cars approached unnoticed and passed over both his legs. A physician
was summoned, and the first thing after he arrived, the little sufferer
looked up into his face and said, "Doctor, will I live to get home?"
"No," said the doctor, "you are dying." "Will you tell my mother and
father that I died a Christian?" They bore home the boy's corpse and
with it the last message that he died a Christian. Oh, what a noble work
was that young lady's in saving that little wanderer! How precious the
remembrance to her! When she goes to heaven she will not be a stranger
there. He will take her by the hand and lead her to the throne of
Christ. She did the work cheerfully. Oh, may God teach us what our work
is that we may do it for His glory.

In our city a few years ago there was a little boy who went to one of
the mission Sunday-schools. His father moved to another part of the city
about five miles away, and every Sunday that boy came past thirty or
forty Sunday-schools to the one he attended. And one Sunday a lady who
was out collecting scholars for a Sunday-school met him and asked why he
went so far, past so many schools. "There are plenty of others," said
she, "just as good." He said, "They may be as good but they are not so
good for me." "Why not?" she asked "Because they love a fellow over
there," he answered. Ah! love won him. "Because they love a fellow over
there!" How easy it is to reach people through love! Sunday-school
teachers should win the affections of their scholars if they wish to
lead them to Christ.
