AI notes: Dwight Lyman Moody, the renowned American evangelist, died on December 22, 1899, at his home in Northfield, Massachusetts, at the age of 62. His death came after a period of declining health, worsened by the intense schedule of revival meetings he had conducted in Kansas City the previous month. Surrounded by his family and attended by physicians, Moody reportedly spoke of seeing “earth receding” and that “Heaven is opening; God is calling me,” reflecting a serene and devout acceptance of his passing. Throughout his life, Moody had a profound impact on evangelical Christianity, founding the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago and the Northfield Mount Hermon School, institutions that continue to shape Christian education and missionary work. His burial in Northfield remains a site of historical and religious significance, commemorating a legacy of preaching, teaching, and fervent religious outreach.
