OOD AND INGERSOL.

Rev ]. b. Wilson, pastor of the First
United Presbyterian church, Biddle
street and Madison avenue, preached
last niPht before a large congregation
upon the life and work of Evangelist
d. l.. Moody. He said in part:
I'D. l.. Moody's character and great
ness were things he never needed to
defend. He preached and lived the Cos
pei. God defended him. The same
grace that made him great kept him
humble. Such men as Moody are the
products Of Christianity, and of IL
alone. Infidelity could not produce such
the grace of God through faith in
Christ.
During the present year two great
standard bearers have fallen. One was
the destroyer Of faith and hope. the
other their defender: then II was Rob-
ert Ingersoll, now ID. L. Moody. The
one died supporting the banner OF ag-
Mysticism, and h world lamented, but
it's lament was for a wasted life. The
other, after a life spent in uphoIding
the banner Of h cross. has also died.
Died, did l say? No. no. not dead,
for as he said about two months ago
in Philadelphia: Some evening you will
read in h papers that d. l.. Moody
is dead. Do not believe the report, Cor
1 shall not be dead. This old clay tab

Moody shall still be alive. in the fun

ply TO the Georgia rifle team, when
claimed it won n Hilton trophy last
year at Sea Girt, although the trophy
was awarded 10 New Jersey. The
statement is as follows:
The Georgia team. desiring appar-
endy to keep alive the controversy
about the Hilton trophy, and having
published an address to the public, not
withstanding the appeal was heard
utive committee of the New Jersey
Riff Association. Governor voorhees,
and General Meany. constituting the
committee which heard and decided the
appeal. have given out TO the public
the following statement:
The attention OF the undersigned has

lished in the public press Of December
%. 1899. apparently signed by members
OF the rifle team from h state OF
Georgia, which competed al Sea Girt
at the last meeting of the New Jersey
State Rifle Association, questioning The
Justice of our decision with reference
to the profess from the Georgia team
upon the award of the Hilton trophy
to the New Jersey team.
The facts which were brought out
in the hearing had before US and upon
which we rendered a decision dismiss
ing the appeal of the Georgia team and
affirming the award of the executive
officer. are not fully set out in said
communication.
AT said hearing n members OF the
| Georgia team n their counsel, Colonel
Lawton, were given every opportunity
10 present all facts within their knowl-
! edge or reach and TO make such argu-
ments in the Judgment of Colonel Law
ton the evidence would permit
After hearing all the eAidence offer
ed by both sides 10 the controversy and
a full and fair consideration thereof,
the undersigned were { the opinioa tina;
there was not a SHADOW of doubt that
the decision of the executive officer was
correct and should be affirmed.
w assumed that the members OF
the Georgia team We're also convinced
that they were in error, and that their
contention, though justified, was MOI
we'll founded. and their couns did
not consider 1T worth while to make
any after hearing the evil
dence in behalf of the claims of THE
New Jersey team.
I'VE, therefore, confess considerable
surprise that further efforts should be
made to prejudice the public MINI by
the publication of garbled facts and
arguments based pom but a partial
statement of the evidence produced
before us and upon which our decision
was made.
