His Record Is Interesting.

From the Kansas City journal it is
learned that Rev. c. /. Scofield. who
delivered the sermon and presided at
the Moody funeral services at Fast
Northfield, Mass, was a former Kan
san. III 1872 he was a member of the
Legislature from Nemaha county and
supported Ingalls, instead of Pomerov
for senator. As a reward he was
made United States district attor-
ney- but was ousted in disgrace on
account of some shady financial
transactions. He left Kansas at once
landing in st. Louis, where he was ar
rested for forgery on charges pre-
ferred by his own sister. While in
jail he had been visited by band of
Christian women who prayed with
him and worked his conversion. and
upon his release he entered the. Con-
gregational ministry. His first pas
torate was at Dallas, Tex, where he
built up one of the wealthiest and
most aristocratic church organize
tlons in the state. In the meantime
his Kansas wife had secured divorce
(she still lives in Atchison) and he
married fine woman in Texas who
was prominent in his church. Al
most at once Scofield became a
noted expositor of the Bible, and, after
he had attracted the attention of
Evangelist Moody, he was given the
chair of Bible history in Moody's
Mortified Bible school, as well as the
pastorate of the Mortified Congrega-
tional church. He became the au-
thor of number of tracts and vol
umes of sermons, and under his name
are now printed regular issues of
Bible lessons and studies.
