492 APPENDIX. 



holy rite; in the evening he attended service again, and after a sermon 

 by one of his presbyters lie made an address, which is represented to 

 have been characterized by pathos, animation and energy in the highest 

 degree. Eyes that seldom wept were suffused with tears; and some of 

 the most hardened in impenitency were softened when the old and 

 venerable servant of God, in tenderest accents, and with outstretched 

 and trembling hands, and fervent love, heralded for the last time the 

 good tidings of the Gospel, and entreated them for Christ's sake to be 

 reconciled to God. That night, after a day spent so usefully in his 

 sacred office, and only about three hours after his voice had proclaimed, 

 in the temple of God, the gracious invitations of his beloved Saviour, 

 the fatal shaft which no skill could extract pierced him. Feeling unwell 

 a little after midnight, he arose to call for help; but his strength failing 

 him, he fell on the floor, and lay there helpless for some time before 

 his returning strength enabled him to make himself heard. When 

 raised and placed on his bed, he was found to be laboring under a 

 violent attack of pneumonia. He lived for five days, suffering but very 

 little pain, and during most of the time none. Generally he was in a 

 profound stupor, but occasionally he roused up, and his eyes and coun- 

 tenance would for a little while resume their usual intelligent and 

 benevolent expression. When thus himself, he was resigned, calm, full 

 of peace and hope, and free from all fear. When asked whether there 

 was anything to be done in reference to his temporal affairs, he said no, 

 that everything had been attended to — that nothing remained but to 

 bid the Rev. Mr. Atkinson to bear his love to his dear children. When 

 told (by Mr. Atkinson, at whose house he died, and who, with his wife, 

 were son and daughter to him in the absence of his own children) tliat 

 death was at hand, he said, "It is well; I trust I am prepared either for 

 this world or the next." On Thursday, November lo, 1S42, at about 

 half past one a. m., after hours of entire freedom from pain, and in the 

 gentlest and most peaceful manner, without a struggle or a groan, this 

 good man died. 



The second child of John and Rebecca Moore was Thomas, born in 

 Carolina, 1689; he was likewi.se sent to England for his education. 

 He graduated at Oxford, and took orders and became the Chaplain to 

 Dr. Atterbury, Bishop of Rochester, one of the most eminent scholars 

 and celebrated preachers of his age. The well-known sermons of this 

 admired prelate were edited and published under the direction of Dr. 

 Moore. He died in Little Britain, in London, leaving a highly respect- 

 able family, among whom was Thomas Moore, D. D., rector of North 

 Bray, in Kent. 



Daniel, sixth child of John Moore, of Philadelphia, was also sent to
