Moody Visits Prang’s Chromo Establishment – Dwight Lyman Moody

When I went to Boston, I went into Mr. Prang’s chromo establishment. I wanted to know how the work was done. He took me to a stone several feet square, where he took the first impression, but when he took the paper off the stone I could see no sign of a man’s face there. “Wait a little,” he said. He took me to another stone, but when the paper was lifted I couldn’t see any impression yet. He took me up, up to eight, nine, ten stones, and then I could see just the faintest outlines of a man’s face. He went on till he got up to about the twentieth stone, and I could see the impression of a face, but he said it was not very correct yet. Well, he went on till he got up, I think, to the twenty-eighth stone, and a perfect face appeared, and it looked as if all it had to do was to speak and it would be human. If you read a chapter of the Bible and don’t see anything in it, read it a second time, and if you cannot see anything in it read it a third time. Dig deep. Read it again and again, and even if you have to read it twenty-eight times do so, and you will see the Man Christ Jesus, for He is in every page of the Word.
