Moody is vary fond of talk ing to the boys of the schools near his home, sometimes on Bible subjects and sometimes on Geller topics. Ad- dressing a class once on public speak- ing he made the following points :- 1. Don't talk too much. 2. Don't talk unless you are post- ed. 8. Give the best you have. 4. Don't talk when people are asleep. Wake some one man and you will hold the rest. 5. Don' 1 try to ehow rffyour learn lug. 0. Get bold of the most stupid man and you'll hold the rest. 7. Don't try, but don't be afraid, to make people laugh. Milk that slops one way will the other. 8. Be natural ; don't try to be someone oleo. 9. Avoid cant and pulpit tones. 10 Don't talk too long. A man in London, who preached until the people all left, said he thought it was a pity to stop when there was any- body to hear. 11. Don't hesitate to repeat what God uses. 12. Don't keep on talking just be- cause you are holding the audience. Send them away hungry, 18. While people aro gathering use the time with song. 14. "Shoot where people stand. le the old Quaker said to the burglar: "Friend, I am going to shoot where thee stands, Thee had better got out of the way." 15, Don't geeture and move about too much, and don't talk with your 'hands in your pockets. About $80,000 worth of patent medicines will be auctioned off in Montreal to Satisfy a line for under- valuation. COMMUNICATION, Know Nothing About It. to the Editor 01 TNN Pon.
