From the Paper:

"In 1856, the second year after his conversion, Moody went to Chicago, where he joined the Plymouth Congregational Church and became a very vigorous Christian worker, putting his soul and energy into the work of winning men to Christ. Moody's great Sunday school work was achieved before he was more than twenty-three years of age. With all his work for Christ he had no idea of entering the ministry until he found that souls were being directed to Christ by his hard work. Mr. Moody decided to go to Great Britain in 1867 and learn the system of Christian work used in that country. It was in this first visit to Britain that Moody heard the words which set him yearning and thirsting after a profound Christian experience and which indicated a new period in his life. Moody had a continuous desire for an expansion of his own spiritual life and experience. He had been very much made use of God, but thought that there were much better things in store for him. For him the year 1871 was a crucial one."
