IX MEMORIAM.
Bro. Moseley Hawes, the subject of till* sketch,
was born January 5. 181(i. lie was married to
Miss Jane Dalila October 4, 1840. He joined the
Baptist church at Double Branches, Lincoln
county, iu hia early life. Later, he moved his
membership to Goshen, or which church he was
a member at Ills death. He was one of the most
useful, consistent, faithful, consecrated and in
fluentive church members it, was ever our privilege
to know. He loved his church and his pastor, as
but few, we fear, do. And oh! how the brethren
loved hint. They showed their appreciation of
him by honoring him as deacon, clerk and chor¬
ister. And in each capacity he served as satisfac¬
torily and faithfully, we think, as it was possible
for man to do.
Bro. llawos was indeed one of God's noble
men. Bure and unspotted in character, his life
was an open hook before the people; a pillar of
strength for those around him. lie was loved by
all, and those who knew him best could only see
more clearly the manv graces and virtues that
characterized Iu'h whole life. lie was recognized
by all around him, as one who had no selfish ends
to gain, hut did all lie could for the glory of God
and tile welfare of his fellow man. Sublime in
the simplicity of his faith, unconquerable in his
devoted earnestness for the salvation of souls
positive and unswering in what he knew to be
right; his ioss will lie felt deeply by his family,
neighbors, church-and in fact, tlie whole county
in which lie lived will sustain a great. loss by the
death of such a godly man.
As a man he was honest and upright, as a friend
to he most implicitly trusted, as a husband and
a father a model man; always provident, careful,
loving; and in clouds or sunshine, the sweet,
g.mial smile was always the. same. In all of his
sickness, which was severe and long, he never
uttered one word of complaint, hut seemed
all the time perfectly resigned to Cod's holy and
righteous will. Happy and triumphant must
have been his death, which occurred at his home
on March 1,1898.
Hro. IJawes leaves a loving, devoted wife,
e’even obedient and affectionate children, (six
daughters and five sons), one brother, and a host
of other relatives and friends to mourn his loss.
Hut they mourn not as those who have no hope,
for they are confident, that his soul is now with
Jesus. Let his children and grand-children thank
God that in all the walks of life, both pul 1 c and
private, he has left them an unstained record
worthy of their imitation.
Hro. Hawes was a close student of the Bible,
and he sought to live by its teachings, lie was a
subscriber and attentive reader of the Christian
Index for fifty or more years. Ilis good reading
had no doubt much to do with his good life.
Wq extend to all the bereaved ones—and espe¬
cially his dear wife, in her great affliction, ns
well ns sad bereavement—our heart felt sympa¬
thy, and pray that God, by his grace, may resign
them to Ilis will. II. M. ADAMS.
