REV. J. W. MURRAY STRICKEN WITH
APOPLEXY.
While Attending the Methodist Confer
ence.—Sad and Sudden End of a
Useful Life.
A gathering, such as a Meth
odist Conference, where men
working in the same noble cause, 1
meet to discuss the best meth-'\\r e handle in large quantities.
Otis of promoting tlutt cause, is| ” *
always a pleasant occasion and
a source of profit to those who
participate in its councils. But
Death may even invade these
pious assemblages, and, throw
ing a pall over the proceedings,
sadden the work of love and de
votion. There is a lesson taught
in death, however, particularly
the sudden death; its presence
recalls to our minds how slender
is the tenure that we have on
life and how uncertain are all
things mortal.
The Methodist Conference re
cently in session in Darlington
had its lesson of this nature.
Rev. J. W. Murray, while in
performance of his duty, labor
ing faithfully for the good of his
people and his church, was re
moved suddenly from his tield
of usefulness. On Wednesday
night of last week he was strick
en with apoplexy in the Metho
dist Church, whither he had
gone to hear the lecture of Dr.
Morrison upon missions. He
was carried to the residence of
Mr. J. W. Blackwell, where he
was staying, and despite the
efforts of Drs. W. J. Garner and
P. E. Griffin, who were sum
moned, he died about eleven
o’clock that night. His son,
Rev. P. A. Murray, who is also
a member of the Conference,
was at the bed side until the
heart of the good man had ceased
to beat. Mr. Murray’s daughter,
Mrs. A. J. A. Perritt, resides at
Lamar and his remains were
taken there on Thursday and
interred the following day.
Mr. Murray was born about
sixty years ago in that part of
Charleston County which is now
Berkeley. From early boyhood
he gave promise of a useful life
and his brightness attracted the
attention of Mr. Mazy ok Poreher,
of Charleston, who, Mr. Mur
ray’s parents being very Door,
had him educated. , He was
graduated from the Citadel
Academy and soon afterwards
joined the Conference. He was
twice located in Darlington
County, the first time about 1800
and again from 1887 to 1891,
when he had charge of Lower
Darlington Circuit. Conse
quently he was well known at
this place.
At the breaking out of the
war Mr. Murray enlisted in the
Confederate army and rose to
the rank of Major, making as
good a warrior for his country
as a soldier for the Cross.
“A good man gone,” was the
exclamation that escaped from
the lips of every man in Dar
lington, members of the Con
ference and citizens generally,
when it was learned that he was
no more. Faithful in every
thing, diligent in all his works
and ever mindful of his sacred
calling, he had made, during his
long and useful ministry, a host
of friends and admirers. He
will obtain the reward of virtue
for he died, as he lived, at the
post of duty.

Satisfaction.
When a man says lis is Satisfied, he means a great deal.
On© of the policy-holders of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, Mr. Charles \
A. Edwards, of New York, who, in 1S71, took a twenty-year Tontine policy
with the Equitable for $10,000, writes as follows: "lam extremely until nolisfied
\ with this result, obtaining more than $1,000 in excess of all the premium#
\ have paid, in addition lohaciny enjoyed the protection of my policy during]
the twenty year* it has been in force lam loath to part with such an oht
friend as this {wla y has been to me, but in doing so, I do not propose to part
company with the Jit/u iUible, having applied for another Tontine policy, the
benefits under which I also hope to obtain during my lifetime."
Another, Mr Nathaniel Wilson, of Washington, writes in relation to [>olioy
N'o ‘.Mi,'.si:', as follows: "I took out a Tontine policy in your Company for $30,000.
The policy has been settled to my satisfaction. I bare since taken out policies
of the same, kind for 450,000, because lam satisfied that the Tontine plan is to
be preferred to any of which 1 hare knowledge."
If these statements were from the widows or executors of policy-holders who
had died, they would be significant, or, if they were from policy-holders who :
were siitistted with their assurance because it furnished protection, and (face
them sufficient peace of mind to offset the burden of the continuing annual [
premiums on their jmlicies, they would Ik 1 no more than reasonable assertions.
But this satisfaction is something more than this: It is the gratification of men j
who have, over and above the protection from the assurance, hkali/.kd on a
profitable investment. They have reason to be satisfied. For twenty years
they have been building up their business and accumulating fortunes, ami
meanwhile their families and estates have been protected against the disaster
which would have come, if through some accident they had died prematurely.
But these dangers have now been passed, and what is the result? Must they
say, “ We hare paid out a great deal of money in premiums, but we h ire en
joyed the protection of our assurance, and are satisfied that our money has
been well spent: we hare nothing more to expect, and hare nothing further to
ask." They might say this, and be content, hut they are able to say much
more than this, thus: "We are more than satisfied because, in addition to the
protection given for all these gears, our Tontine policies have turned out to be
good INVESTMENTS, as is proved by the fact that the Equitable has returned
al. that we hare paid, with interest added ”
Think of it! A return of the total amount expended in
premiums, with compound interest at from 3 too per
centum per annum added thereto.
