When D. L. Moody visited New Haven in 1878, R. A. Torrey was a student in the University there.
He said: “The ripest scholar in the University at the time,
if not the ripest in America, was President Wolsey, Ex-President of Yale
University.
One night a young man went up to hear Mr. Moody preach &
President Wolsey sat on the platform & when they sang the old Gospel hymns,
President Wolsey, himself a gray-haired scholar, joined in singing the hymns
with all his heart.
That young man said, ‘Well, if one of the greatest scholars
in America can sing those hymns in that way, there certainly must be something
in it,’ and he was saved, not through Mr. Moody’s preaching, but through
President Wolsey’s singing.”
