Mr. Moody is said to dislike very much any obstruction between himself and his audience

Mr. Moody is said to dislike very much any obstruction between himself and his audience. When he entered the hall in Cleveland the other day, he found a large ornamental glass stand in front of the platform filled with water and plants. “That is very pretty,” he said, “but it must come away; it would feel like an iceberg between me and my congregation.” And when he went to the church where he is also to speak, he objected to the platform being too far back, asking a temporary one in front of the other, “so that I can be with them, and not feet as though I were talking across a street.” Mr. Moody will stay a month in Cleveland and will then go to St. Louis.
