DIR. MOSES d. HOGE.
In 1912 Rev. DR.. Moses ID. IIoge, then
quite young man, left the Presbyterian
church over which the brilliant DR.. III. ;
Plummer then presided, and in which Rev
Mr.. lIOge was assistant, and established a
chapel on the site now occupied by the Sec
Ond Presbyterian church. The building Sc
lected was small brick structure i'm the
shape of parallelogram, and had formerly
served the purpose OF schOOl-hOuse.
Nearly thirty members Of DR.. Pummers
church followed the brilliant young preacher
TO his new field, whittier he was attended
by the feryent prayers OF the gifted Dr.
Plummer. As time waned the church pros
pered, and DIR. IlOge's fame increased. In
due course the church was enlarged. and
and happy congregation wOrshipped there.
All during the eyentful days Of that trying
struggle, DR.. HOge held regular service in
the church, and many feryent prayers went
from its sacred precincts 10 Heaven. inyOk-
ing the mercy and blessings OF God on the
people of the South. During the war DIR.
Hoge ran the blockade for the purpose Of
obtaining Bibles for the COnfederary. but
Federal authorities were wrongly informed
by underground letters that his prime Oh
ject in going TO England was 10 invoke aid
for the COniederacy from the British GoV-
eminent. This incensed Federal authority
against DR.. HOge, and when General Lee
evacuated iRchmond, April 3, 1860, DIR.
IIOge left Richmond with the Confederate
forces. Perhaps the history of the letters
which were written to Northern officials by
a woman who lived in and near Richmond,
informing the Federal Government OF the
alleged movements abroad of Dr.. Hoge, Will
never see the light that printing will give
it. bat thrilling story could be woven from
them if the task were ever undertaken.
After the storm Of war was over DIR. Hoge
resumed his pulpit.
