Moody and Sankey is London Cockney rhyming slang for a deception (hanky-panky).

Dwight L Moody (1837-1899) and Ira D Sankey (1840-1908) were American evangelists who attracted vast audiences to their revivalist meetings in the USA and on their visits to Britain.
It seems not everyone trusted them !

There's no one will believe them ,
For everyone these latter days ,
