DR. LEMUEL MOSS Was one of the strongest and best men of his generation. Born in comparative poverty, and without early educational advantages, he worked his way through the college and the theological seminary, and at once took high rank as a scholar and preacher. The first few years of his active life after graduation were spent in the pastorate, and as a pastor he did a most successful work. So successful was he, in fact, that he was called to be the Secretary of the Christian Commission, and on the termination of the work of that admirable organization, he wrote a history of the Commission, which is, to this day, the best book upon the subject. From 1865 to 1868 he was on the faculty of Bucknell University, and did work which is still re- membered by those who were members of his classes. Subsequently he became an editor, then again took a professor ' s chair, was for a short while president of the University of Chicago, afterward president of the Indiana University, editor of the Ensign, and in more recent years again pastor of a Baptist Church. In all of these positions Dr. Moss manifested exceptional ability, and did most enduring work. His scholarship was wide and deep. His editorial articles were virile, and largely influen- tial in moulding public opinion. He was deeply interested in the work of the Baptist denomination, and was a leader in the settlement of many large questions brought before the denomination. Personally he was a genial and delightful companion ; whole hearted and true in his friendships. Taking him all in all, he was a represent- ative Christian man, and deserves to be long held in the memory of the world. A. J. Rowland.
