MEMOIRS. 



bendary of St. Paul's and Chaplain in Ordinary 

 to the Queen, and his friends know how much 

 his home was to him, and how much he owed 

 throughout his life to his father's stimulating 

 and loving sympathy with his career, of which 

 he used often to speak with playful tenderness. 

 His school was St. Paul's, where he would have 

 won more distinction but for the chance which 

 made him all the way up the school competitor 

 with one who was afterwards to be associated 

 with him at Keble College, and in contribution 

 to " Lux Mundi," Mr. Illingworth. Moore's power 

 seems to have developed slowly ; he did not 

 secure an open scholarship at Oxford, though his 

 First Class in Moderations witnesses to his work 

 at St. Paul's. But a schoolfellow's recollection 

 recalls the promise of future character in the sweet- 

 ness with which he received and quickly overcame 

 the bluntness of school comment on a physical 

 peculiarity, and the blitheness and energy with 

 which unhindered by it he threw himself into 

 cricket. How well this fits with a friend's remark 

 about him in later life in the Oxford Magazine of 

 January 22, that he was "the constant witness to 

 us of the triumph of spirit over matter," and that 



"While gifted with a body which could scarcely fail to 

 make a man constantly self-conscious, and which, quickly 

 wearied by physical effort, must have tended to make him 

 fretful and sensitive, he yet bore the burden so that we forgot 

 that he had a burden to bear."
