IN MEMORY OF THE
LATE DIR. MOFFETT

At q recent meeting OF the Minis.
terial Association the following mem
orial to the late DR.. a. S. Moffett was
passed unanimously:
Rev. Alexander Stuart Atoffet. d. D.
was born near Staunton, Va. Eeptem
Der 18th. iS47. receiving HIS education
in Washington and Lee University and
Union Theological Seminary, Rich
mond, Va. He was licensed to preach
the gospel April oath. 1878. and was
ordained to the full work of the min
istry two years later. And during the
forty-slx years OF his ministry hi
served important churches in Virginia,
Kentucky, Mississippi. Missouri and
Florida, and wherever called TO serve
he manifested certain distinctive
characteristics.
Whether his field OF labor was the
weak, struggling mission church, or
the larger and weather. city church,
he was equally faithful and equally
ccntented and happy In the service.
He never sought Great things for
himself" but was glad to serve where
ever called.
Another very noticeable trait of his
character was his abiding spirit OF
Cancellation. He loved his fellow -man,
and especially his brethren of the min
tstry, and nothing gave him greater
pleasure than to see them dwelling
together IN unity" He sought peace
and pursued IT, and in seeking the
peace of others, he found abunda
peace for his own heart, and near q
kin to this was what might be termed
his contagious Christian congen-
iality" He was no recluse. He
moved easily and freely among his
own people and in a larger circle be-
yond his own charge. and wherever
he went he left the impression Of
great ard Joyous Christianity
DR.. Moffett was especially happy in
HIS family Very few Christian fan1i-
lies in any part Of the world are fill
ing so many positions OF great USE
fulness in the church. Five of his
children are missionaries in China,
and the sixth one Is preparing to enter
the same work. and one son Is pas
tor IN the home land. Surely these
were the children of many prayers.
It might have been said OF him as
was said OF one OF old, For / know
t-Ar(e AiC " al IT'S C5llAAi t1H0
his household aftee him, and they shall
keep the way OF the Lord to do JUS
tice and Judgment that the Lord may
bring upon Abraham that which he
hath spoken Of him.
AS a band Of brethren, we feel that
the Ministers Associa ton, his people
Of the First Presbyterian church. and
the entire city have sustained a great
loss in the death of DR.. Moffett. And
we take this. our first opportunity. of
to Mrs. Moffett and his chill
dren. at homo and abroad. our sincere
sympathies. and we earnestly pray
that God OF the Covenant will BLESS
them and keep them. win make his
face to shine upon them. and be graz
cious unto them. and viii lift up his
countenance upon them, and give
them Yofee
