Moore. On February 5, following heart surgery in a Memphis hospital, M. H. Moore closed his earthly life. It closed as he had lived with drawn saber and only the stronger saber of death was able to stay his hand in God's service. While still in his thirties, with a faithful wife and two darling little girls not yet in school and an innumerable host of friends and relatives, "Jack" left his work of over six years in the Mississippi Delta and of many more years elsewhere in preaching the gospel and went on to a good soldier's reward. He had Just spent over three years in Drew, Miss,, where he established the church, erected a beautiful building and preacher's home.
When I think of Jack as a soldier I think of a tribute paid to an earthly officer in the Vicksburg Daily Citizen on Thursday, July 2, 1863. He was killed during the siege of our city on Saturday of the same week this eulogist wrote: "General Smith's impetuous division seems singularly unfortunate. He has lost many gallant men whose valor and worth the siege has fully developed, and whose death ls a great public calamity. Lt. Col. Griffin commanding the 31st Louisiana regiment, was killed on Saturday. He was a popular and efficient officer, gifted by nature with undaunted courage, indomItable resolution and energy, he was also possessed of quick determination, keen glance and coolness in danger, which are the most essential qualities of an officer, while by his mingled firmness and clemency of his conduct, he won the confidence and good will of his men. May the soft south winds murmur sweet requiems o'er his names, and the twilight dews fall gently like an angel's tear-drop and moisten his turfy bed."
If this could be said of one who fought earth's battles, how much more of this one who had caught a glimpse of heaven could it be. --Paul Ayers, Gospel Advocate, Mary 7, 1957, p. 159.
