Dwight L. Moody was riding in a car one day when it was hailed by a man much the worse for liquor, who presently staggered along the car between two rows of well-dressed people, regardless of tender feet.
Murmurs and complaints arose on all sides and demands were heard that the offender should be ejected at once.
But amid the storm of abuse one friendly voice was raised. Mr. Moody rose from his seat, saying:
"No, no, friends! Let the man sit down and be quiet."
The drunken one turned, and, seizing the famous evangelist by the hand, exclaimed:
"Thank ye, sir - thank ye! I see you know what it is to be drunk."
