Moody, Dwight L(yman) (sh) and Schinkel, Karl Friedrich (sh)


Moody, Dwight L(yman) (sh)




born Feb. 5, 1837, East Northfield, Mass., U.S.
died Dec. 22, 1899, Northfield, Mass.

U.S. Protestant evangelist.

Raised on a farm in Massachusetts, he moved first to Boston, where he converted to evangelical Christianity in 1856, and then to Chicago, where he prospered in business. He gave up business in 1860 and engaged in missionary work with the YMCA (1861-73). He founded Moody Church and preached in the slums, emphasizing literal interpretation of the Bible and the need to prepare for the Second Coming. In 1870 he teamed up with the hymn writer Ira D. Sankey (1840-1908), and they began a series of highly popular revival tours in Britain and the U.S. Moody founded the Northfield School (1879), the Mount Hermon School (1881), and the Chicago Bible Institute (1889; now the Moody Bible Institute).


Schinkel, Karl Friedrich (sh)




born March 13, 1781, near Brandenburg, Brandenburg
died Oct. 9, 1841, Berlin

German architect and painter.

As state architect of Prussia (from 1815), he executed many commissions for Frederick William III and Other royal family members. He based his work on the revival of various historical styles. His mausoleum for Queen Louise (1810) and the brick and terra-cotta Werdersche Kirche, Berlin (1821-30), are among the earliest Gothic Revival designs in Europe. Other works include the Greek Revival Schauspielhaus (1818) and Altes Museum (1822-30), both in Berlin. In 1830 Schinkel became director of the Prussian Office of Public Works; his work as a city planner resulted in new boulevards and squares in Berlin. His Romantic-Classical creations in architecture, landscape painting, and Other related arts such as stage sets and ironwork made him the leading arbiter of national aesthetic taste in his lifetime.
