short answer = yes. there's a letter to his mother, describing an incident, circa 1878. Here's Sankey, from his autobiography, some time after 1882, probably the 80s for sure(google it, on-line)): At Hartford, which we next visited, Mark Twain attended several of our meetings. On one occasion P. T. Barnum, the famous showman, attended and remained for an inquiry meeting, where it was my privilege to speak to him in regard to his spiritual condition. In our conversation he said: ”Mr. Sankey, you go on singing ' The Ninety and Nine,' and when you get that lost sheep in the fold we will all be saved. ”I afterward learned that he was a Universalist. (no idea where he got the impression MT was a universalist, or what that might have meant precisely at that time.) ps -- nice nearby anecdote: For the next six months we conducted meetings in the churches of St. Louis. Able assistance was, rendered by the Rev. J. H. Brookes and other eminent ministers. At one of the inquiry meetings I asked a fine-looking man as he was leaving the meeting, if he was a Christian. ”No,” he replied, ”I am a Missourian." --hb On Wed, Sep 28, 2011 at 11:29 AM, JULES AUSTIN HOJNOWSKI <[log in to unmask]>wrote: > Greetings :) > > > I was wondering if any of you can tell me if there is any evidence of Sam > a= > ttending a " Moody and Sankey meeting"? > I looked in Kent's A-Z and nothing. > > I found the this event mentioned in C.
