TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.

Suicide
Fr In The MaJ.soa Qndj Courier. Sept g.
The Coroner, DIR. G 4 Kunkler, was
summoned at a late hour last night to
hold an inquest on the body OF William
Moody, a well 10 90 farmer, living in the
northeast corner Of this county, about
four miles from Canaan, who had com
mitted suicide 1t seems that in his
younger days he had paid attention to
two ladies living in Ohio. After emf,
grating to this State, be married a daugh>
ter of David Golay, an old citizen of
Sh 10y Township. About three years
ago he paid a visit TO bis old home in
Ohio. On returning home, the green
eyed monster" jealousy, entered the
once happy home, which caused q sepa-
3 ration between him and his wife.
About year ago they came together
again, and every thing seemed to be 60,
ing along smicably, until yesterday even
ing about five o'clock, when Moody re-
turned home from mill. The old diff
Guilty was renewed, and becoming frenS
z!cd, he seized Ratchet and brutally
attacked bis wife with the sharp edge,
iBHlCting terrible but not mortal wounds
on her head and breast, when she fell to
the floor. Surprising her dead, he
dragged her out of the house into the
yard, and leading bis rife, and firing
bis OWN dwelling and all the outsbuildS
lDgS, stood guard over the premises
while the work Of destruction went on,
permitting no one to 60 near the house or
make an effort to save a single article
from destruction, except his son, who
was allowed to 60 in and get his own
personal effects, after which be was
driven off. As soon as the house and
other buildings were burned beyond
saving, he deliberately placed the muz>
zle of the gun to his right ear, and, pulls
ling the trigger with his toe, blew his
brains cut.
Moody was man about sixty years
of age, and had lived with his wife for
over forty years, raising family Of four
or five children, all of whom are
married, save the son mentioned above.
He was in good circumstances, and be-
sides owning the farm on which he lived,
had considerable money in the house,
which was burnt up. He was always
respected as a sober and industrious
man, and the murder and suicide can
only be accounted for on the grounds of |
frenzy.
Deputy Coroner W. j. Humphreys
was placed in charge of the case, to hold
the inquest, and at this writing we have
no other particulars.

Bible, that once when Christ went into Je-
rusalem, the people took branches of palm
trees and went to meet him; and you know
father read yesterday, in that chapter of
Revelation which tells about heaven, that
there was a great multitude in white, with
palms in their hands. What does that
mean 2"
"The palm is an emblem of victory. 1t
was the custom of the Jews, and indeed Of
other nations, to scatter branches and leaves
of this tree in the path of great conquerer,
and to wave them before him. And the re-
deemed in heaven are represented as bear
ing palms, to remind US that their conflicts
are over, and that they are rejoicing in the
presence of Jesus their King. In that
great multitude are very many dear chill
dren. They loved Jesus here-they rejoice
with him there as conquerors over all that is
evil. Though once child on earth, he is
now the King of glory in heaven. The dear
children who are with him there will never
sin again, for he has given them the victory
over sin and death. Is my little daughter
asking Jesus every day to make her one of
those conquerors? Then will she too, in
good time, be made one of that happy COM
pany who are clothed in white, with palms
in their hands. "-,SaJ6ath School Visitor.

our Church show falling off from our
rolls of nearly 100, since the first organiza-
ton of this body, counting with ours the
roll of the United Synod. But this simple
statement, unexplained, gives too discourag-
ing view of our condition. During the
war there could be but little increase of our
strength, while the usual causes of mortality
were much aggravated Moreover, there
were many on our rolls who were only NOM
inally members Of our Church, whose names
have since been removed. Still further,
quite number of those formerly connected
with US have withdrawn and united with
other branches of the Presbyterian family.
Our first full roll, since the war, was pub
hshed in 1866 But at that time our rolls
had not been revised and expurgated. On
it are the names of several who died during
the war, and of quite number who had
then, or have since withdrawn from u.s.
The falling off has therefore been much less
than the above statements would indicate.
The future prospects of our Church, under
Gods blessing, are as cheering in this re-
spect as those of any other Presbyterian
denomination.
In conclusion, we request the reappoint-
ment of the last Thursday in February, or
some other suitable time, as day of prayer,
for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on
the youth of our Church, and for Gods
blessing on this cause.
All Of which is respectfully submitted,
on behalf of the Committee,

them; but neither you nor have it in our
power to create minister: Christ alone can
call him into that ministry, and therefore the
report guards the Church against even the
shadow of a danger, and bids them use pro-
per caution.
When for the first time | read in the Re-
cord the report of the Executive Committee,
it impressed me more than anything else for
a long time. Such promise of future Ia
bors ! And letters written to caution the
Committee lest too many be pressing into
the ministry! See the picture OF the
Church, crying, "These, where have they
been? Behold 1 have been left desolate.
But she who had no children is more blessed
than she who had many" And this report
shall be spread upon the minutes, and 60
forth that the promise is so fulfilled that the
Assembly is afraid of prosperity, lest she
may push forward too rapidly. have no
such fear. The temptations here are not so
great as to lead men into the ministry from
unworthy motives. | was therefore glad
when that part of the report was little
modified.
This pledge from God binds us to cor
responding pledge on our part. Sir, it is
the cheapest firm in which the Church can
engage. 1t yields the greatest and largest
returns for the investment. Let me add one
remark: IF the ministry comes immediate
ly from Christ, then lay this truth on the
heart of the Church, and let it prompt
fathers to consecrate their children in infan
cy to this service. There are large church
es which for half century have not con-
tributed man to the ministry. These are
constantly using up, but not helping the sup
ply. Now let all the churches bring up this
before the face and the consciences of the
people. They have no right to act thus
they must replace the men whom they are
using up. A church, using my energies, and
not providing another man in my place is
doing great and crying wrong. A church
has no right to a minister, if she will not ask
God to bless her in placing another man in
the field, instead of this one when worn out
in the service.
The Assembly then united in singing,
'Come Holy Spirit, heavenly dove"
On motion, the report was adopted.
The Assembly adjourned with prayer by

REMARKS OF DIR. BAIRD.

These remarks were made at the public meeting
in behalf of Publication, held on the evening of
Tuesday, May 25th,-the speaker remarking that he
did not wish to occupy the attention of the Assem-
bly, second time. For the sake of connecting them
with their proper subject they are introduced in
this place
l wish now to say one word about educa-
ton. When we startsd three and half years
ago this interest was Frustrated. At our
first report we had two students under our
care; at our second report we had eighteen;
the next year forty-three, and this year
eighty-three. See how rapidly the number
of candidates is growing. When | stated to
the last Assembly that our Church had a
hundred candidates for the ministry, it filed
all hearts with Joy, and they raised song
of praise which reached to Heaven. They
gave us collection on the spot of nearly
$1,000 dollars, which relieved the necessities
of the Committee And the oldest ministers
agreed in saying it was the most remarkable
statement that had been made since the war
Last fall l commenced tour of the country
to visit the various Synods. When | met
the Synod of Nashville, l told them that we
had a hundred and sixty candidates. At
Memphis ] said a hundred and sixty-fve.
At the Synod of Mississippi l said a hun
dred and seventy: at the Synod of North
Carolina hundred and eighty, and after
my arrival at home 1 became convinced that
there were two hundred. People said that
l was over estimating the number, and L
issued circular of inquiry. The answers
developed 1873 candidates under the care of
Presbyteries; II studying, but not under the
care of Presbytery; 9 detained from study
for the want of means, and 27 debating the
subject of the ministry. In all 245; and
