D. L. Moody, the great evangelist of the nineteenth century, assigned some ministerial
students to conduct evangelistic tent meetings throughout the city of Chicago. The
students were to preach nightly sermons as a means of winning souls for Christ and to
practice their preaching. Dr. Moody personally showed up one night unannounced at one
of the meeting places to hear one of his fledgling young ministers preach the gospel. The
young man did quite well expounding on the death of Christ on the cross for the sins of
the world.
