The subject of this memoir, Rev. Moses L. Pendell, was born April 28, 1789, and died in Prattsville, September 21, 1866. We have no means of ascertaining the time of his conversion to God among his papers we have found no record of that interesting event. His oft-repeated experiences, though rich in the things of the Kingdom of Grace, furnish us with no reliable certain data. He spoke of this new and higher life in general terms, saying, "Over fifty years have I been trying to serve the Lord." While we know not the time of his surrender to Christ, we knew that he was converted--that he was saved to the enjoyment of a personal salvation. In this he rejoiced daily. He was early called to the work of the ministry. At first he refused to obey; he lost his enjoyment, and lived for a time in a backslidden state. But God, who is rich in mercy, called him again into his fold. He now conferred not with flesh and blood, but gave himself to the great work of preaching Christ. His first license to exhort he received from Rev. Bela Smith in 1817. He was licensed to preach in 1824. He was ordained to the office of Deacon in 1827; to that of Elder in 1845. Though not a member of any Conference, yet he traveled many years as an itinerant minister. In labors he was abundant. In saving souls he was successful. He was a man of marked ability, equal to the days in which he labored; and though an old-fashioned Methodist minister, he was no discredit to the ministry in these modern times. His sermons in his old age were highly experimental. The death of Father Pendell was sudden and unexpected. He had labored during the day, as was his custom, and had partaken of his evening meal. Soon after he complained of a pain near his heart. Remedies were provided, but all in vain. He now considered the time of his departure at hand. He spoke of his preparation, saying, "I shall never be better prepared than now." The pain increasing, he turned to Col Z. Pratt and asked if he would stand by him. Bring assured that he would, he then remarked "I hope the Lord will lay me down easy." A few moments later he breathed his last. In the death of Father Pendell the church has lost a faithful and time-honored member--one who loved the cause of Methodism, and who rejoiced in the success of the Gospel of Salvation. He has finished his course; he kept the faith, and now doubtless rejoices with joy unspeakable and full of glory, at the right hand of God in Heaven.
