MT. Bryan Assented to what Mr..
Moore Baid.
"Wen then," said Mr. Moore,
"Asb0Ey Church ought TO put one there
for she owes him the monty."
Nj. Moore had been looking over his
GLASS records and he found that his class
in 80 yeArs bad contributed "a, ,104.24
for the Buppoft-of the gospel, and In
that time be believed he had given
$4,000 for the ssma purpose. In that
time he had been sssooiAled with 142
GLASS leaders. During the 80 years he
had been . leader be WAs years an
exhoTteT, Ia years looAl preacher, and
for IA years he had been n chaplain At

there were seven dead men around him.
After the cholera was over he got his

fallen . victim TO the cholera. He con.
adhered this y divine interpretation Of
Providence. He never was afraid OF
any disease, aud 5ver caught any bat
the smallpox.
Mr.. Moore then amusingly referred
to the interior Of Asbury Church when
the seats had no backs. Every body
then wore long aWAllOW-tAilod blue
coats with brass buttons, and when the
tails Of their o1ats reached TO the dooE
behi1d the benches mlsohlevous boys
would tramp on them. The lights In the
church were all Gtuok around the wal .
Mr.. Moore then referred to his father
and mother as coming from good old
