Inscription
George V. Moody
aged fifty years.
"With uncommon personal advantages
He had a great brave loving, gene-
rous heart.
A love of right, a scorn of wrong
of coward and of knave.
And of him it may truly be said
that even his failings leaned to
virtues side."
The souls of the righteous are in
the hand of God and there shall
no torment touch them.
But having been a little chas-
tised, they shall be greatly rewarded
for God proved them and found them
worthy for Himself.
Wisdom of Solomon
