HENRY WINSTON XOSELEY.
On the morning of May 21st at 9
o'clock, after a lingering illness, at his
home on Westover Avenue, Norfolk, Va.,
Henry Winston Moseley, son of the late
Rev. Bennett Williamson Moseley, of
ceaiora county, Virginia, and or Mrs.
Louise Yenable Mosefley, passed to his
heavenly reward, aged 35 years.
He was sprung from a pious Presbyterian
ancestry on both sides, His paternal
grandfather, Dr. Henry W. Moseley,
after whom he was named, was an
elder in the Penick's church, in Bedford,
and his father was the devoted
pastor of the New London Presbyterian
church, near old New London Academy,
of which he was also principal at the
time of his death in 1886. His maternal
grandfather, Dr. Paul Carrington
Venable, was also an elder in the Presbyterian
church near "Wheatland," the
old Venable place in Mecklenburg county,
Virginia, and from his mother he
inherited those qualities which marked
him as a conscientious, earnest Christian.
Early in life Henry confessed Christ
and began a life of usefulness in his
service. He was, as Rev. Mr. Robinson,
pastor of Colley Avenue Memorial
church, Norfolk, said, "A manly man,
cu genu*;, ?u luvauie aiiu irue, ail exemplary
citizen whom no community
could afford to give up." His childhood
was passed in Lynchburg, and at the
age of 21 he settled in Norfolk, entered
the commission business, and married
Hiss Grace E. Prltchard. Besides his
widow and one son, Randolph Venable
Moseley, he leaves to mourn his loss
his mother, Mrs. L. V. Moseley, of
Lynchburg, two sisters, Mrs. "W. N.
Brown, of Danville, and Mrs. George V.
Venable, of Lynchburg, and three brothers,
Alfred McDowell Moseley and Bennett
W. Moseley, of Greenville, North
Carolina, and G. Carrington Moseley, of
Richmond. "While we sorrow as those
who have suffered a great loss, we know
he has gone on before and after our
earthly pilgrimage is over we, by God's
grace, will join him in the mansions
beyond the skies.

which the sainted grandmother poured

out upon them. She was happy in their
welfare and success.

the Presbyterian church of Kosciusko,
while Dr. J. H. Alexander, of sainted
memory, was pastor.
She continued a faithful member to
the end of her long and blessed life.
As her health permitted she was found
at public worship and enjoyed the communion
of the 6aints.
(Her influence for good will abide in
the lives of her descendants and the
friends who knew her as a servant of
God.
(May every consolation of the gospel
be given to her family.

PASTORAL LETTER
To the Pastors Sessions and Sabbath
School Superintendents of Onr
rhnrches, the General Assembly
of 1912 Sends Greetings:
It has come to our knowledge thrmiali
the annual report of the Executive
Committee of Publication, as well as
from other sources that there is a
growing perplexity in the minds of
many of our people as to the best
course of study to be used in our Sabbath
schools. Attention is called to
the fact that the only course of lessons
having the sanction of our Assembly is
the uniform course of International Lessons
together with supplemental material,
such as the Catechisms, instruction
in Bible history, Bible Geography,
Bible Literature, Bible Doctrine, church
History, and the Missionary Activities
of our own Church. The Lesson Periodicals
and Helps prepared and issued by
our Publication Committee have presented
this uniform course of Lessons
with an adapted treatment receiving
an increasing acceptance and our
SChool8 have made ramarlrahlo nrrwroso
both in enrollment and in the effectiveness
of their work, while using this
system of lessons. Quite recently a persistent
and adroit effort has been started
by prominent workers in the Sunday
School world to displace the Uniform
Course of Lessons with what is known
as the International Graded Lessons.
This agitation has (become so wide
spread and such exaggerated claims have
been made as to the progressiveness
and superiority of this now course of
Graded Lessons that here and there
Sabbath schools of some of our churches
have been persuaded to introduce the
new course of study and to use lesson
helps not published by our Publication
Committee ot endorsed by our Assembly.
There are so many grave objections
to the new course of lessons
and particularly to the treatment of
ine course now available tbat we feel
constrained to warn the pastors, sessions
and superintendents against the
yse of the system and we especially
protest against the introduction of the
course as treated in the helps known
as "The Westminster Graded Sunday
School "Lessons."
The course of lessons now being so
industrioiusily exploited by interested
publishers and inter-denominational
Sunday School workers is open to the
following fundamental objections;
First; They fail to sufficiently emphasize
the redemptive element and
the supernatural! work of the Holy
Spirit in regeneration and some of the
leading advocates of the system openly
avow thflf- a ehUH /?on i-??
w?.>? VUU MO Uiouglll I II'IU
saving relations with Jesus Christ by
a process of education.
Second: The graded course in-general
use contains much material not
taken from the While, such as Nature
Study lessons, biographical studies of
such characters as Judas Maccabaeus,
Francis of Asstei, Roger Williams, Frances
Willabd and others thus practically
claiming that such material is of equal
value with the Word of God for the
purpose of religious education.
1
[June 5, 1912
Third: The treatment of the course
of lessons under consideration indicates
plainly a bias toward the theories of the
school of radical criticism and authorities
freely quoted, such as Kent and
Driver, openly cast doubt upon the
inspiration of portions of God's word.
Quotations directly attacking the inspiration
of the Bible are for the most
part carefully omitted In most of the
helps offered for the use of pupils and
louL-uoia 'uuv reierence to tne complete
work from which citations are made
clearly show the radical views of the
authors quoted with approval.
'Fourth: The theory of the development
of child life upon which the new
graded course is based, calls for dividing
the school into seventeen seperate
grades an?d teaching at one time
a different lesson to each grade. The
claim is made In efTect that at each
year of the pupils life, the presentation
of a different phase of truth is required
and they undertake to say what special
passage of Scripture is best suited to
present the particular truth, that the
fixed year in the child's life is supposed
to need.
The use of such a minute classification
is impossible in the average school,
